Description
Patented Sept. 22, 1936 Y UITED* STATES PA'rENr OFFICE Application July 26, 1935, Serial No. 33,378
2 Claims.
This invention relates to corsets and particularly to that type of corset known as a front laced corset, an object being to provide an improved construction wherein the proper tension may be secured on the corset body, and, at the same time, all the parts held smooth and comparatively taut.
Another object of the invention is to provide in a iront laced corset a clasp and hook stay with lacing-receiving hooks in proper spaced relation and with a covering flap for the hooks having means for maintaining the same in a smooth taut condition when in use.Y
Another object of the invention is to provide in a front laced corset a claspI and hook stay with hooks spaced apart to provide a proper support across the abdomen and lesser support adjacent the waistline.
In the accompanying drawing- Figure 1 is a front view of a corset disclosing an embodiment of the invention, certain parts being folded back to better illustrate the construction;
Fig. 2 is an edge view on an enlarged scale o one edge of the corset body as illustrated in Fig. 1, the lower parts being broken away and shown partly in section;
Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2 but showing a flap in functioning position;
Fig. 4 is a plan view of one of the front edges of the corset shown in Fig. l with the flap in functioning position;
Fig. 5 is a detail fragmentary sectional view similar to the lower part of Fig. 2 but showing a slightly modified construction wherein the eyelets extend through only part of the corset body. Y
Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, I indicates the body of the corset as a whole, which is provided with a pair of front edge portions 2 and 3 and with a vest structure having sections 4 and 5.. The vest structure sections are secured together by suitable disengageable fastening means 6. This fastening means consists of the usual stays and coacting clasps now in common use. In front of the vest structure 1 sections 4 and 5, which vest structure is of a wellextend through the covering pocket I I along one edge thereof. The lacing I2 is stitched at I3 and I4, said lacing being adapted to be interlocked with the various hooks when the corset is in use. Also this lacing at and adjacent the stitching I3 and I4 forms an abutment for the stay 6 so that it cannot move downwardly near this point. The socket I5 of the snap fastener is connected to the pocket I I immediately above the stay B', said socket coacting with the stud I6 which is adapted to snap therein as shown in Fig. 3, when the parts are in proper functioning position. The stud I6 is secured to the protecting ap I1 and, as illustrated in Fig. 2, is positioned slightly below the socket I5 so that the flap I'I must Ybe pulled upwardly slightly in order to snap the fastener together as illustrated in Fig. 3. The flap I'I extends over the hooks I to III, inclusive, and thereby presents a smooth coveringV therefor. By reason of the position of the parts the flap is maintained taut so that it will always present a smooth, pleasing appearance. In addition it will be observed that there is a group or zone of hooks I, 8, and 9 approximately at the abdomen of the person wearing the garment so that greater tension may be brought at this point to secure a better constricting action and distribution of the protruding portion of the body which is usually raised somewhat. The hook I0 is spaced upwardly a desired distance so as to give a less tension to the body and less uplifting effect as the same is not necessary at this point although it provides a proper anchorage for the lacing so as to secure the desired iit of the garment.
As shown in Figs. 1 to 4, inclusive, immediately below the portion carrying the stay 6' are arranged a number of eyelets I8 which are adapted to receive a second set of lacing for drawing the lower part of the edges 2 and 3 together. These eyelets extend entirely through both the flap I'I and the pocket II.
In Fig. 5 a slightly modied structure is presented wherein the eyelets I9 extend through only the pocket li and thus leave the flap I'I free and also as a covering member for the eyelets in a similar way that it is a covering member f or the hooks. It will cover not only the hooks and eyelets but cover the end portions of the lacingso that there will be a uniform pleasing and smooth formation at the front of the corset.
I claim:
1. A corset provided with a pair of front edge portions, each edge portion having a stay extending from near the upper end downwardly and a plurality of hooks on each stay, means for anchoring the stays, a flap adapted to cover said hooks, and means coacting with said flap for maintaining the same taut, said means including a snap fastener having the socket portion carried maintained under tension when the snap fas-v tener is functioning. Y
2. In a corset of the character described, a`
corset body having a pair of front edge portions', said edge portions being identical in structure Y and each edge portion having a stay pocket, a
plurality of eyelets carried by said stay pocket near the lower end, a stay carried by said stay pocket at the upper end, means acting as an abutment for said stay for preventing longitudinal movement thereof in said pocket, a plurality of hooks carried by said stay and extending through said pocket, a flap positioned to normally overlap said pocket and also all of said hooks, and means for maintaining said flap taut, said means having a pair of disengageable members, one
-member being secured to said pocket and the other member to the flap, the member connected to the pocket being offset upwardly whereby it will'be necessary to slightly stretch said flap to bring said members into functioning engagement.
