Definitions

  • This invention relates to corsets, girdles and the like, and its principal object resides in the provision of an improved garment of this character including portions capable of stretching both up and down and across the oft wearer and other portions capable of stretching up and down but not across, for purposes hereinafter indicated. Another feature resides in novel provisions for bones in such garments.
  • Figure 1 is a front elevation of one form of arment in accordance with the invention.
  • igure 2 is a rear elevation of the garment shown in Figure 1.
  • Figures 3 and 4 are enlarged sections taken on the lines -3-3 and 4-4 of Figures 1 and 2 respectively.
  • Figure 5 is a front elevation of a modified type of garment also in accordance with the invention.
  • Figure 6 is an elevation similar to Figure 5 but showing the front portion of the corset partly broken away.
  • Figure 7 is a rear view of the form shown in Figures 5 and 6.
  • Figure 8 is an enlarged section taken on the lines 88 of Figure 6.
  • Figure 9 is a front view of still another embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 10 is a view similar to Figure 9 but showin the front portion of the garment partly roken away. i
  • Figure 11 is a rear elevation of the garment shown in Figures 9 and 10.
  • Figure 12 is a view similar to Figure 11 but showing the rear portion of the garment partly broken away and,
  • Figures 13 and 14 are enlarged section taken on the line 13-13 and I i-14 of Figures 10 and 12, respectively.
  • a garment including a plurality of panels 1 of material capable of stretchlng not only across the body of the wearer but also up and down.
  • This material is preferably composed of elastic yarn in comblnation with non-elastic yarn or stop threads adapted to limit the stretch in at least one direction, advantageously across the body, or this material may be made substantially entirely of elastic yarn, that is, without such sto threads.
  • terial may advantageous y be of woven character, that is to say, of material having both elastic warp and elastic weft strands, or being flat knit, though for some purposes the material may be of knitted character.
  • Each of these panels preferably extends from top to bottom of the garment, and the up and down extent of the garment is advantageously such that the lower edge 2 thereof lies below the hips'and adjacent posterior portions of the wearer.
  • a plurality of panels of the character mentioned may be employed for lying at either side of the wearer, one panel at each side extending.
  • panels at either side might be replaced by a single panel.
  • These panels may extend at the front and back of the garment, when folded flat, as shown, so that they constitute some portion of the a material from one hip bone to the other at both the front and back of the wearer, or if desired only at the back.
  • the garment there is employed in the form shown in F igures 1-4 one or more panels 3 of material ineluding elastic yarn so arranged that the material is capable of stretching in an up and down or generally vertical direction but not in a cross-wise or generally horizontal direction.
  • This material is also preferably of woven character.
  • the adjacent edges of the several panels may abut and be joined by stitching 4: as best shown in Figure 3, the stitching desirably being of zig-zag character to permit the required stretching along the seams.
  • lap joints and other types of stitching might be substituted.
  • the seams may be covered by elastic stripping 5 sewed to the panel as at 6. Between the stripping 5 and the panel 3 there are preferably provided at the upper, frontportlon of the garment The main their respective pockets.
  • the bones preferably lie lengthwise 1n the direction in which the material stretches. Where two bones are side by side and covered by single piece of stripping 5, the middle of the latter is preferably stitched to one or more panels as at 8.
  • One or more additional bones may be secured between the edges of panel 3 by stripping 5 where desired. While bones as shown terminate considerably above the lower edge 2 of the garment, they may extend further down where desired.
  • the pockets may be completed at their lower ends by stitching 91and at their upper ends by stitching 10 which secures elastic bindingill to the upper edges of the garment.
  • the lower edge of the garment may be similarly finished with an elastic binding 12, and garter attachments 13 secured thereto.
  • a panel 1% may be interposed between panels 1 and secured thereto similarly to the manner already de scribed.
  • the panel 14 is preferably of material like that of which panel 3 is composed, that is to say, of material which stretches up and down but not across, and advantageously extends from top to bottom of the garment.
  • Bones 1.5 may be retained in pockets formed by stripping 5 and may extend substantially the full length of the garment in unstretched condition. These bones also preferably float It may be noted that the garment thus constructed is capable of stretching up and down at all points in its girth, and of stretching across or horizontally at some points, as is particularly advantageous.
  • the bones give additional flattening action without producing folds or wrinkles.
  • the bones may be incorporated into the garment in simple fashion and require no fastening devices. When they are free to float in their pockets as described, or possibly secured at only one end,
  • the bones 7 have the desired effect over the diaphragm-without extending over the abdomen with likelihood of discomfort.
  • the front may be constructed as described while the rear is entirely of material such as is employed in panels 1 or vice versa, without sacrificing'the advantages at the other points in the garment.
  • the garment At the upper portion of the garment, at one side, provision is made as at 16 for permitting. the wearer to step into the same. For instance, hooks and eyes may 'ibeccmployed, as shown, or a lacing or slide fastener.
  • the lower portion of the girth of the garment is continuous, though the opening may be of any suitable length and even extend clear to the bottom of the garment.
  • FIG. 5-8 there is shown a construction which is-similar to that described, except that the rear portion 20 of the garment is formed of a unitary panel of two-way stretch material extending across the back of thewearerifrom one side of the hips to the other and-thus constitutingabout half the girth of the garment.
  • panel 21 of material capable of stretching up and 1 down but not across may be stitched along its edges to the panel 20.
  • the panel 21 extends from top .to bottomof the garment and is stitched as at 22 along the entire length at either edge, and also at either end to the 5 binding 11 and 12'. l Iow'ever, the stitching of the ends of the panel 21 is not essential for accomplishing the main purpose described'.
  • the capacity of panel 21 to stretch in the up and down direction should be at least as great as that of the panel 20, though the former may be made of relatively fine elastic-or otherwisearranged so that the which stretches the latteran equal amount.
  • the panel 21 should preferably be practically non-stretchable or nonelastic in a transverse or horizontal direction.
  • the rear portion of the 7 garment is shown constructed as: described 1n connection with Figures 5-8, and the front restraining-panel 31 formed of material capable of stretching-up and down but not across and terminating above the portion of panel 30 which overlies the abdomen.
  • the confiningaction at desired points maybe achieved, that is, at the) upper part of the front of the corset without the need for force required to stretch it is less than that double thickness of material at other points.
  • the panel. 31 preferably terminates about half way down the garment and is free at its lower edge, at which a binding 32 may be applied, and stitchedas at along both sides to panel 30;
  • the top of this panel 31 may be sewed to binding 11- and be provided with bones 7 in pockets formed by stripping 5 as described in-connection with Figures 1-4.
  • the stretching of the panel 30 is not interfered with in any way.
  • the lower edge of this panel might be secured to the charactermf panel 31.
  • any single panel might be replaced by a plurality of panels stitched together, or on the other hand, a single panel might be substituted for a plurality of panels shown.
  • the panels might be of larger or smaller size, the panels 1, for instance, extendin to a greater or less extent in a transverse irection or direction around the body.
  • panels of non-elastic material or in other words, panels which do not stretch in either direction, may be substituted for other material in the garment.
  • the whole front of the garment might be made of non-elastic material, while the rear portion might be constructed as described.
  • the material of the insert or lining, wherever located in the garment may extend the full length of the same or be of any suitable shorter length.
  • the arrangement and number of the bones may also be varied, or the bones may be ornitted where desired.
  • the stripping which 00- operates with the bones may be secured only at its ends or along portions of its sides, where desired, instead of securing the stripping along its entire length to the material.
  • a garment of the character described including a plurality of panels of material formed of elastic am and capable of stretching.both up and own and across, and a panel of material adapted to stretch up and down but not across secured at the front of said garment, said last-named panel being of less up and down extent than the length of the garment.
  • a garment of the character described including material formed of elastic yarn and adapted to stretch both up and down and across, and material capable of stretching up and down but not across superimposed upon the first-named material and secured thereto along its vertical edges.
