Description
July 7, 1936. F. M. STADER SHOULDER STRAP HOLDER Filed May 25, 1954 INVENTOR M van (1e, 556 day ATTO RN EYS Patented July 7, 1936 ATENT Pics SHOULDER STRAP HOLDER Florence M. Stader. Plymouth, Mich.
Application May 23, 1934, Serial No. 727,176 8 Claims. (01. 24-73) 3 The invention relates to garment holding devices and refers more particularly to devices'for holding in place-the shoulder straps of inner garments relative to outer garments.
r; One of the objects of the invention is to provide an improved holding device which is so constructed that a shoulder strap will readily and automatically engage the device. Another object is to so formthe device that it ma be easily secured 1-0 to the outer'garment. A further object is to form the device of a continuous length of wire and in such a manner that the device may be economically manufactured. 1'
These and other objects of the'invention will 15 become apparent from the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which Figure l is a perspective view with a portion of the outer garment v broken away illustrating a in holding device embodying my invention in place;
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the holding device;
Figure 3 is a cross section on the line 3-3 of Figure 2;
. Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 2 illustrating another embodiment of my invention.
The holding device, as illustrated, is adapted to receive and hold in place the shoulder strap I of the inner garment 2 relative to the outer gar- 39 ment 3. This device is a clasp formed of a continuous length of wire and having the upper portion 4 for securement to the shoulder portion of the outer garment and the lower portion 5 for receiving the shoulder strap.
35 The lower portion comprises the upper bar 6 and the lower bar I, both of which extend in the same general direction and together form a generally U-shaped portion opening toward the neck of. the wearer of the garments. The bars 6 and 40 I are connected preferably by the eye 8 and the bar I is return-bent at its free end to form the eye 9. This eye is circular and extends toward the bar 6 and is spaced therefrom. The eye 9 has its end I0 extending into close proximity to 45 the bar 1 and also has the portion I I which is spaced from the bar I and is located inwardly beyond its end I0, this portion being adapted to extend over the shoulder strap when the latter .engages the bar I to thereby retain the shoulder 50 strap from accidental disengagement.
The upper portion 4 is in the nature of a loop which is elongated in a direction approximately parallel with the upper bar 6. This loop is formed at the free end of the upper bar 6 and. has the 55 upper bar I2 and the lower bar I3 which are ap- "Figure 1 1.
proximately parallel' The lower bar extends approximately parallel to the upper bar 6 and is slightly-spaced therefrom and preferably laterally offset. This bar I3 has the pointed end I4. The construction is such that the bar I3 may be passed through the shoulder portion of the outer garment and preferably the shoulder seam so that the upper bar I2 of. the loop engages the outer garment and carries the holding device. The holding device is secured to the outer garment so 10 that the U-shaped portion 5 opens toward the neck of the wearer, as shown particularly in It will also be noted that this lower portion extends closely adjacent the shoulder of the wearer so that the shoulder strap will automatically become engaged with the lower bar I or, if desired, may be readily inserted into place. The holding device illustrated in Figure 4 is a clasp formed of a continuous length of wire having the lower portion I5 formed in the same manner as the lower portion 5 of Figures 1, 2 and 3. Its upper portion I6 differs in that it is in the nature of the bar I I connecting into the free end of the upper bar I8 of the lower portion I5 and located in substantially the plane of this upper bar. The bar I I terminates at its free end in the eye I 9, the portion 20 of. the bar adjacent the eye being preferably inclined toward the upper bar I8. The device is secured to the shoulder portion of the outer garment by sewing the bar I! to the shoulder portion and the construction of the bar is such that it provides for effectively securing the same.
From the above description, it will be readily seen that I have provided a simple construction of holding device which is formed of a continuous length of wire and in such a manner that the holding device may be manufactured at relatively low cost. It will also be seen that the holding device may be readily secured to the outer garment and that the shoulder strap of the inner garment may be readily secured to the holding device and effectively retained in place. It will be further seen that the holding device will effectively retain from relative displacement both the outer garment and the shoulder strap.
What I claim as my invention is:
1. A device for holding a shoulder strap of an inner garment relative to an outer garment, comprising a clasp having a portion for securement 0 to the outer garment, a bar connected to said portion, and a second bar connected to said first mentioned bar and forming therewith a generally U-shaped portion opening toward the neck of the wearer of the garments and adapted to autobar terminating in'an eye extending toward said first mentioned bar and spaced therefrom, said eye having a portion spaced from said second bar and adapted to extend partially over the shoulder strap to retain the same.
2. A device for holding a shoulder strap of an inner garment relative to an outer garment, comprising a clasp having a portion for securement to the outer garment, a bar connected to said portion, and a second bar connected to said first mentioned bar and forming therewith a generally U-shaped portion opening toward the neck of the wearer of the garments and adapted to automatically receive the shoulder strap; said second bar being return-bent at its free end to form an eye extending toward said, first mentioned bar, said eye being spaced from said first mentioned bar and having its end extending into close proximity to said second bar and a portion spaced from said second bar locate-din- ..wardly beyond its end to retain the shoulder .s app 3,: A device for holding the shoulder strap of aninner garment relative to an outer garment, comprising a clasp having a lower portion for holding the shoulder strap and an upper loop provided with a lower pointed bar, said loop being adapted to bedetachably pinned to the outer garment by passing said lower pointed bar ,through the outer garment. I I 1' 4. A device for holding the shoulder strap of 3 an inner garment relative to an outer garment,
comprising a clasp having a lower bar for en- ;gaging and holding the shoulder strap, a second bar above said lower bar and connected to and fextending in the same general direction as said first mentioned bar, and an upper loop connected to said second bar and provided with a-lower pointed portion extending adjacent to said sec' 6. A fastener, comprising a portion for attach-' ment to an article, a bar connected to said portion, and a loop extending from said bar andelongated in the same general direction as said bar, said loop being provided with a bar extending approximately parallel to said first mena tioned bar and having a pointed end.
I 7 A garment holding device formed of 'a continuous length of wire bent upon itself to provide a pair of bars extending in the same general direction and spaced from each other, one of said bars terminating in a transverse portion extending toward the other of said bars, and a loop upon the other of said bars elongated in the same general direction as the said other of said bars and provided with a bar extending approximately parallel to the said other of said bars and havinga pointed end.
r 8. A fastener, formed of a continuous length of wire having a generally U- shaped portion for attachment to an article and an integral'loop (.4
provided with portions overlying each other and extending in the same general direction, one of said portions terminating in a pointed end.
