Description
Sept. 28, 1937. R. c; ISAAC GARMENT SUPP'ORTER Filed July 16, 1934 Patented Sept. 28, 1937 UNlTED STATES PATENT OFFICE 3 Claims.
My invention relates to improvements in garment supporters.
The conventional form of garter is well-known I as that form which consists of a loop fixed to a tongue which carries a button to be inserted beneath the stocking or hose, and then forced within the loop to hold the stocking in attached position. This form of garter necessarily makes a raised portion beneath the wearing apparel which is worn over the garter.
The primary object of my invention is to provide a garment supporter which will be very fiat after it has been secured, for example, to a stocking or hose to be held.
Another object of my invention is to provide a garment supporter for clamping a stocking or hose which will not pinch or injure the hosiery while it is being engaged by the supporter.
In the accompanying drawing:
Fig. 1 is a perspective View of the supporter with a stocking or hose secured thereto;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the supporter unattached;
Fig. 3 is a cross-section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 4 is a perspective of a modified form; and
Fig. 5 is a perspective View of another modified form.
The loop 2 is provided with a folded additional loop 4, through which an elastic 6 is threaded, the elastic to be secured to an undergarment or other means for holding the supporter in a fixed position.
At the side of the loop away from the elastic 6, I provide a smaller loop 8 which is secured to the loop 2 by the metal sheath Ill which is wrapped around the lower bar of the loop 2 and the upper bar of the loop 8, so that these loop-s will be rotatably secured together.
The loop 8 is formed in the same general configuration as the main portion of the loop 2, but is substantially smaller than the loop 2, so that it may pass through the loop 2 as it is rotated by means of its connecting-sheath Ill.
In securing the stocking or hose to the supporter, the top portion of the stocking or hose I2 is placed over the loop 8, away from the body of the wearer. When the hose or stocking is in this position, the loop 8 is turned through the loop 2, forcing the upper part of the stocking or hose through the loop 2. The loop 8 is then further rotated until it has made one complete revolution of 360 and assumes the position shown in Fig. 3. When in this positionthe stocking or hose I2 will be folded over the loop 8 and the sheath l0, so that there will be three layers of stocking or hose around the loop 8 extending outwardly from the wearers body M. The sheath I will take the entire strain of the stocking or hose after it has been secured to the garter.
In'the modified view shown in Fig. 4, the construction of the garter is substantially identical with that form shown in Figs. 1 to 3, with the exception of the omission of the additional loop 4 through which the elastic passes. 10
In the modified form shown in Fig. 5, I have disclosed a similar construction made of sheetmetal or other material such as, for example, celluloid or bakelite. It will be understood, of course, that if this form is made of celluloid or bakelite, the loop 9 will be made of metal so that it may be secured to the loop 3 by folding the upper part I l thereof over the part of the loop 3 remote from the elastic 6.
I have found that by using a garment supporter of this construction, I have been able to secure the stocking or hose to the supporter without injuring the stocking or hose in any manner by the clamping action which is required in the conventional form of garter, and also that I have been able to attach the stocking or hose very securely to the garment supporter without the necessity of causing a raised or bumpy appearance beneath the outer wearing apparel.
As long as my garment supporter stays in its position close to the wearers body, there is never any danger of its becoming loosened from the stocking 0r hose, since, in order to release the supporter from the stocking or hose, the supporter must be forced away from the wearers 5 body a distance equal to the width of the loop 8 measured from the sheath Ill to its opposite side.
I have found by the use of my improved form of garment supporter, which is more particularly I adapted for womens wear, that the ungainly and undesired bumps beneath the outer clothing are entirely eliminated, and that my form of supporter is much more comfortable to wear than the old-fashioned conventional form.
It will be obvious to one skilled in the art that the loops 2 and 8 may be made with a slight curvature to conform more perfectly with the outer contours of the wearers body, thus making the supporter fit closely to the wearers body to even further eliminate the objectionable bumpy appearance necessarily present when the old conventional form of garter is used.
It will be understood that minor changes in the exact form of the loops may be made from time to time without departing from the spirit of the invention and the scope of the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A garment supporting device including two loops, each loop having side bars and upper and lower bars, said loops being of different size, the larger loop adapted to be secured to a. supporting strap by the upper bar thereof, and the smaller loop rotatably secured by the upper bar thereof to the lower bar of the larger loop, whereby the smaller loop may swing freely through the said larger loop.
2. A garment supporting device including two approximately rectangular loops, each loop having upper and lower bars, said loops being of different size whereby the smaller loop may pass freely through the larger loop, the larger loop adapted to be secured by its upper bar to a supporting strap, the smaller loop secured by the upper bar thereof to the lower bar of the larger loop, the connection between the two loops forming a fabric supporting bar.
3. A garment supporting device including two loops of different size, each loop having top and bottom bars in parallel relation, the top bar of the smaller loop being revolvably secured to the bottom bar of the larger loop, and supporting means secured to the top bar of the larger loop, said larger loop being unobstructed whereby the smaller loop may pass therethrough.
