'April 12, 1932. M. M. ISAACS SIDE STRAPS OF TROUSERS Filed Jan. 10, 1931 Patented Apr. 12, 1932 [UNITED-STATES PATENT orrlcu j MARGU S MANDY ISAACS, F SYDNEY, NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA.
sum smnrs or 'rnousrras Application filed January 10, 1931, Serial No.
It is common practice in connection with trousers, knickerbockers, plus fours, and hke garments, to provide adjustable side straps whereby the waistband measurement may be varied as required so that the garment is supported on the wearer by means of the close fitting waistband, and the use of other suspending means such as braces or a separate belt is rendered unnecessary. Hitherto the components of the side straps have been stitched to the waistband, and the whole being of non-elastic material, the tightening of the straps sufliciently to support t e garment results in a non-resilient tightness about the waist of the wearer which. is not conducive to that comfort or freedom which is so desirable, particularly in the case of athletic exercises or games. i The ob'ect ofthis invention isto provide external side straps for trouser garments, which will have all the advantages of ordi-' nary straps in regard to adjustability, accessibility and location, with the additional advantages of elasticity and comfort' without in any waysacrificing the facility with which the garments are put on or taken off, which operation does not involve the fastening or unfastening of more than the usual number of fasteners or buttons provided on trousers,
or of buttons or other fasteners on the inside of the waistband as is the case with a belt (elastic or otherwise) incorporated in and gvholy positioned on the inside of the waist- With the above stated object the invention consists in a trouser garment having side straps with adjusting fasteners located externally of the waistband, one component (at least) of each strap being of elastic nature, and passing slidably through an aperture in the waistband and terminally secured on the inside thereof at a position spaced from said aperture. One or both of the strap components may be wholly of elastic character or case the external portion is of practically non elastic material matching that of the waistband, and, after being passed through an .aperture in' the latter, is attached to one end of an elastic member located between the may be'of composite character; in the latter of 17119 invention and in which 507,958, and in Australia September 16, 1930.
waistband and the lining thereof, and secured at its other end-in a position spaced from said aperture.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, both components of each side strap '65 are slidably passed through apertures in the waistband, and are respectively attached to elastic members located between the\waistband and the lining thereof, the front components being attached respectively to elastic members which are terminally secured to the waistband at the front, while the rear components are secured respectively to opposite ends of an elastic member on the inside of the back of the waistband.
It is known to providein a trouser garment an-elastic belt incorporated in the waistband on the inside thereof and adjustable at the front, but when the garment is on the person such adjustment involves undoing the waisthand; and, moreover, the tightening of such belt has a tendency to gather the fullness of the waistbandand the lining at the front 1 owing to the resistance to free movement of the belt caused by frictional contact of the 7 elastic material with that of the band and lining. Such gathering at the front is both unsightly and uncomfortable.
, My invention provides an elastic support which is externallvadjustable at all times, and the gathering of the fullness is at the sideshalf on each side-which is the naturalpla'ce. It also provides adequate len th of the elastic components of the straps so t at they will fulfill their purpose of resiliency under all conditions of adjustment, while retaining the externally neat appearance of ordinary side straps which, however, are too short to provide the desired elasticity even go if made wholly of elastic fabric.
To more fully describe the invention reference will now be made to the accompanyingdrawingswhich depict a preferred embodi- 95. Fig. 1 isa perspective view ofthe upper or body portion of a pair of trousers to which the invention is applied, and
Fig. 2 is an elevation of the same opened out viewed from the inside and with the waistband lining turned up to show the elastic members.
Figs. 3 and 4 are sections on planes 3, 3 and 4, 4 respectively of Fig. 1.
To the upper body portion 1 of the trouser garment, is secured in known manner, the waistband 2 which has a lining 3. The waistband is formed in sections, two pieces 4, 4 being inserted at the sides respectively, and the ends of these pieces overlap on the inside the respective ends of the other parts of the band as clearly shown at 4:, 4 These pieces 4, 4 are of the same material as the remainder of the band, and are stitched thereto along the upper and lower portions of the joints 5, 5, the mid-portions of said joints which are not: stitched, providing the apertures through which pass the components of the side straps 6, 6. The overlapping portions or flaps 4 4 prevent the lining 3 from being seen should the apertures. gape. v
The front components of the straps are attached respectively to the ends of elastic members 7, 7 the other ends of which are' se cured as at 8, 8 to the inside of the waistband near the front thereof. The rear components of the'straps are attached respectively to opposite ends of an elastic member 9 which is otherwise unattached. After the straps and elastic members are fitted and secured in the manner described, the lining 3 is turned down and stitched to the band along its lower edge in the usual way.
A garment to which this invention is applied may be put on and taken oflf by simpl fastening or unfastening the front, an when on the person, any required variation of the effective measurement of the waistband may be effected by simple adjustment of the side straps without undoing any fastenings, while the elastic members to which the straps are attached provide that resilient tightness about the waist of the wearer which is so conducive to comfort and freedom,
What I'claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a trouser garment, side straps equipped with adjustment means positioned externally of the waistband, the components of said straps slidably passing through apertures in said band, elastic members secured at one end respectively to the inside of said band near the front thereof and to the other. ends of which respectively are attached the front components of the straps, and an elastic member at the back of the trousers and inside the waistband, to the ends of which are attached respectively the rear components of said straps. e j
2. In a trouser garment, the combination with the waistband, of external side straps equipped with adjustment means, the components of said straps being passed through apertures in said band, elastic members secured respectively at their ends to the inside.
of the waistband near the front thereof and to the other ends of which are secured respectively the front components of the straps, and an elastic member at the back of the garment to the ends respectively of which are secured the rear components of said straps, flaps extending over the apertures in the waistband through which the strap components pass, and a waistband lining covering said elastic members and those portions of the strap com onents which are on the inside of said band? 3. A trouser garment having externally adjustablefside straps at either side, characterized in that the rear components of said straps ass slidably through apertures in the waist and near but spaced from the exposed portions of the straps, and are conjoined byan elastic member common to both extending about the back portion of the garment inside, the waistband.
4. A trouser garment having externally adjustable side straps at either side, characterized in that the rear components of both are constituted by one continuous member of elastic character extending around the back portion of the garment inside the waistband, the end portions. of said member slidably passing through apertures in the waistband located respectively near and rearward.- ly of and spaced from the externally exposed portions of the straps.
