Definitions

  • This invention relates to hose or sock supporters of the garter type, and has for its object a modification of the invention described and claimed in the specification of my prior United States Patent Application Serial No. 343,016.
  • the present modification consists in providing a hose or sock supporter with loops or equivalent means in conjunction with one or more fastening devices or members for engagement with or by said loops or equivalent means, for securing the supporter about the leg of the wearer.
  • the improved supporter may be also formed with or without an inner surface formed or provided with means to enhance the frictional grip of the supporter on the wearers leg or hose.
  • a gents hose or sock supporter of the usual type comprising a pliable strip for wear about the legbelow the knee, and a fitting e. g. of the button and loop type for attachment to the adjacent upper portion of a half-hose or the like to be supported.
  • the supported strip is made of elastic material and has on one or both of its edges pliable means extending throughout the length thereof and joined thereto at comparativelv short intervals so as to provide a series of loops or openings, and a fastening element or elements such as one or more buttons, studs. hooks or the like for engagement with one or more of the loops or openings for the purpose already alluded to.
  • the said strip may be of a plain or fancy character, i. e. it may be of an ornamental weave or consist of a plain web covered in any convenient manner.
  • Figure 1 shows the supporter in a flat condition.
  • Figures 2 and 3 are respectively front and rear perspective views of the supporter sub stantially as it would appear in wear.
  • Figure 4 is afront perspective View of a modified form-of the supporter.
  • Figure 5 illustrates the provision of frictional means for enhancing the grip of the supporter.
  • the web 1 has on each edge thereof a cord 2 ( Figures 1 to 3) or the like applied so as to I provide a series of loops 8, and at one end a button 4, or it may be a stud, hook or the like, preferably of the fiat form, for engagement with one or another of the aforesaid loops e. g. as represented in Figure 2 after the web has been passed round the leg, according to the fit desired.
  • the said cord may be either elastic or non-elastic, with or without a textile covering, andwoven integrally or otherwise combined with the band.
  • the cord consists of covered elastic which, at intervals, i. e. at thepoints 5, is woven integrally with the supporter web to form the required loops, or flexible eyelets, and a button 4 of fancy or other character is stitched to the web at one end.
  • the other end of the web may be inserted through the button and loop elements 6, 7 of a suspender fitting and, after being folded over, stitched to the adjacent portion of the web.
  • the button and loop elements of the fitting may be secured to the web by means of a small strip 8 of pliable material e. g.
  • the suspender fitting comprises a rubber button element 6 and a loop element 7 of metal or of celluloid, or a like substance, or of a casein product, such for example as Xylonite, galalith, celastoid (which names are registered trade-marks) and the like either in the natural state or coloured according to requirements.
  • each of said parts may be made of metal, and, when necessary, a pad or like protector (not shown) may be provided to shield the wearers leg from the op posing metal part. It is an advantage to use elastic cord for the loops 3 as the latter are then capable of stretching when passing over the button and then contracting to maintain the connection.
  • button holes 10 may be formed at intervals in the web during the weaving process for engagement by the button 4: or other fastening element.
  • the supporter is provided with frictional means to enhance its grip on the leg, such means may and preferably do consist of one Or more uncovered rubber warps 1a, Figure 5, exposed on the inside of the strip and caught only at intervals by the weft, although any other suitable means may be adopted for the purpose intended.
  • a leather or other pad 11 may be provided and secured by stitches 12 at the end of the web at which the button or other fastening element is attached.
  • This pad may serve as an unyielding anchorage for the but ton or other element, and/or to prevent the button or other fastening element from being felt through the web to the discomfort of the wearer.
  • the band 1 is placed around the leg above the calf and is fastened at the degree of tension desired by engaging the button 4 with one of the loops or eyelets 3 on that edge which is disposed uppermost, the button and loop fitting 6, 7 being then attached in the ordinary way to the upper end of the sock to be supported.
  • hose employed in the foregoing description and in the appended claims is generic and includes a garment such as a mans half hose or sock.
  • a hose supporter comprising a length of pliable material, fastening means thereon, means extending lengthwise of the material on each edge thereof and adapted for engagement by the fastening element to secure the supporter about the wearers le and c: frictional means on that face of the materlal CHARLES ROBERTSON.
