Definitions

  • This invention relates to suspenders for stockings and the like but particularly for silk stockings, and has reference to the stud and loop fastener elements of the suspender between which the material of the stocking or the like is engaged" and gripped.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide means for positively preventing laddering or tearing of the stocking in use and for reducing distortion and strain of the material of the stocking, as well as .for preventing close frictional contact between the base of the stud and theunderside of the stocking.
  • the loop or slotted frame of the suspender fitting is formed with a bent-up lower end, having a rigid bridge or arch
  • the stud or fastening element of the suspender is adapted to engage behind the bridge or arch of the said lower endof, the loop or frame and to clamp the material of a stocking or the like against the bridge or arch along a line which fol lows the contour of the latter for substantially its entire length.
  • the bent-up end may be of rounded wire andthe edge of thelstud suitably curved to co-operate therewith and give a close wedging grip when fully inserted beneath the bridge or arch.
  • the stud or fastening element may have a pointed lower portion, the head of the stud being conveniently of a pear shape.
  • Figure lof the accompanying drawing represents a front view of a suspender fitting constructed in accordance with this invention, showing the manner in whichthe stud may engage the bent-up end of theloop or frame.
  • Figure 2 is a side view of the fitting.
  • Figure 3 is a vertical section through same, the position taken up by the stocking being indicated by dotted lines.
  • Figure 4 represents an underside view of the fitting, showing the shape of the upi turned end of the loop or frame.
  • Figure '5 is'a cross-section on the line 5-5,.
  • Figure 6 illustrates a front View of a slightly modified form of fitting in which a circular stud element is employed instead of a pear-shaped stud as in thepreceding figures.
  • Figure 7 is a side view of the fitting illustrated in the preceding figure.
  • the improved Suspender fitting comprises a wire loop or frame 1 adapted to be attached by the loop 2 to the lower end of thesus-v pender band and provided with the usual opening toreceive a co-operating stud element 3 carried bya depending tab 4, the
  • the stud 3 being engaged through the enlarged upper endof the opening and slid down into the narrow lower portion of the same in known manner, so that the stocking is gripped between the stud 3 andthe frame or loop 1.
  • the stud 3 which may be of rubber or celluloid, or'rubber or fabric covered, comprises an enlarged pear-shaped head portion having curved edges and a substantially fiat outer face and carried by a short shank or neck 5 flattened at opposite sides and of a width substantially equal to the width of the narrow lower part of the frame opening, the sides ofthe lower part of the frameor loopl being arranged parallel to one another and terminating at their lower extremities in a semi-circular end portion 1.
  • the said semi-circular transverse end portion 1 of the loop is curled or bent forwardly, so that it projects out from the plane of the main part of the loop as shown in Figure 2, and forms a rigid bridge or arch.
  • the pointed end 3 of the pear-shaped head of the stud is presented downwards and the arrangement is such that when the stud 3 is slid down into the lower end of the frame opening the'said.
  • the stocking is placed over the stud 3 which is then engaged within the frame or loop 1, and when the stud 3 has been moved down to engage behind the bridge or forwardly-bent lower end 1* of the latter, as above described, the material of the stocking is firmly gripped between the pointed lower portion 3 of the head of the stud and the arch or bridge 1 along a line which follows the contour of the bridge or arch for substantially its entire length, the curved'edge of the stud co-operating with the rounded wire of the arch to give a close wedging grip when the stud is fullyinserted.
  • the material is held between the sides of the neck 5 and the respective sides of, the main part of,
  • the head end of the stud 3 lies whollybehind or inwards of the forwardly-projecting extremity of the bridge l of the frame, as will be seen from the drawing, and the material of the stocking is thus prevented from bulging outwards at the point where it engages over the stud.
  • the arrangement is such that the pull on the stocking has a tendency to keep the head of the stud snug against the frame, with the base 6 of the stud well away from the latter, so that close frictional contact between the covering of the base and the inside of the stocking is prevented and wear of the stocking avoided.
  • the head of the stud 3 may be of acircular shape, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the lower portion of the peripheral edge of the stud '3 fitting against the, opposite sides of the forwardly bent bridge or arch end part 1 of the loop or frame 1 when it is moved down into its fastening position, so that the lower portion of its periphery engages behind the middle portion of the forwardly-bent end, the head of the stud lying behind the forward extremity of the latter, as illustrated in Fig- 1,91e,oes
  • the stud may be of an oval or triangular shape, if desired, or it may be of any other suitable shape, with or without a pointed end, so as to co-operat-e with the rigid forwardly-turned end of the loop or frame, and grip or engage the stocking as above described.
  • a suspender fastener fitting for stockings and the like comprising a loop frame, a transverse and forwardly-directed rigid bridge at the lower end thereof, a depending tab attached. to the loop frame and carrying a stud thereon, the said stud at the lower end and on the outer face thereof being in continuous line contact with the entire width of the said rigid bridge when in an operative position thereby clamping the material of the stocking against the latter in a close wedging gri 2.
  • a suspender fastener fitting for stockings and the like comprising a loop frame, a transverse forwardly-directed rigid bridge at the lower end thereof, a depending tab attached to the loop frame and carrying a stud, the said stud having a pointed lower end, the said lower end being in continuous line contact with the said rigid bridge and being encircled thereby when in an operative position so as to clamp the material of the stocking against the bridge along a line extending substantially the entire length of the latter, the stocking material being firmly gripped thereby.
  • a suspender fitting for stockings and the like comprising a loop frame, a transverse forwardly-directed rigid arch at the lowerend thereof, a depending tab attached to the loop frame and carrying a stud, the said stud at its lower end being shaped to be in continuous line contact with the said arch and lying there beneath when in operative position, the material of the stocking thereby being clamped between the lower end of the stud and the arch along a line which extends substantially the entire length of the arch, the said arch being of rounded wire to cooperate with the stud and provide a close wedging grip.
  • a suspender fastener fitting for stockings and the like comprising a loop frame, having at its lower end a transverse and forwardly-directed rigid bridge, a depending tab attached to the loop frame and carrying a stud, the said stud having a pointed end with an edge shaped to be in line contact with the contour of the bridge for the entire width of the latter when in an operative position such that the edge of the stud cooperates with the bridge to provide a close wedging grip.
  • a suspender fastener fitting for stockings and the like comprising a loop frame having a transverse forwardly-directed rigid arch of rounded wire at its lower end, a depending tab attached to the loop frame and carrying a stud, the said stud having a pointed lower end with a curved arch portion adapted when in operativeposition to fit beneath and be in line contact with the contour of the arch, the rigidity of the arch causing the stocking material to be firmly held between the arch and the stud in a close wedging grip.
