GARTER CONSTRUCTION Rayna Karger, Highland Park, Ill. Application July 6, 1937, Serial No. 151,984
4 Claims. (01. 2412) My invention relates to a garter construction. More specifically, it relates to a garter construction especially adapted for use with a garter belt, girdle, corset, foundation garment, or the like. In such constructions, it has been found that the side pull on the elastic attached to the girdle is apt to stretch the girdle out of shape, causing it to creep or be displaced, and also exerts an undue strain on the connection between the elastic and girdle at a point adjacent the edge of the elastic.
One of the objects of my invention is to provide an improved garter construction which will lessen the strain on the hose, due to bending movement of the wearer, and will thus prevent tears and runs in the hose.
A further object of my invention is to provide an improved garter construction which will minimize or do away with the above disadvantages.
A further objection to the present garter constructions of the type pointed out above has been that they have a tendency to cause a twisting of the hose, getting the seam out of alignment. A further object of my invention is to provide an improved garter construction which will lessen the tendency to twist the seam of the hose out of alignment.
Further objects and advantages of. the invention will be apparent from the description and claims.
In the drawing, in which an embodiment of my invention is shown,
Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a girdle garter construction;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged plan view showing the connection between the elastic and girdle;
Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2; and v Fig. 4 is a section on the line 44 of Fig. 2.
Referring to the drawing in detail, the construction shown comprises a girdle l, to which are attached a number of elastic strips 2, having provisions at their lower ends for securing them to the upper edge of the stocking. The girdle I may be of any usual or suitable construction, that shown comprising a light fabric having provisions at 3 for securing the ends together to form a girdle. The elastic strips 2 may be of any usual or suitable construction comprising an elastic tape having a clasp 4 at its lower end for securing it to the upper edge of the stocking and having a slip buckle construction 5 for adjusting the length of the tape. For connecting the upper end of the elastic tape to the girdle, I provide a woven fabric tab 6 secured at its upper edge to the girdle and at its lower edge to the elastic tape. The upper edge of the tab, which is secured to the girdle I, is materially wider than the lower edge of the tab which is secured tothe tape 2. The tab 6 has extensible and contractible strands 1 extending between the girdle and tape, the edges of the tab between the girdle and tape being folded over and the raw edges being stitched to the body of the tab by zigzag, longitudinally-extensible stitching 8, whereby, when the elastic tape 2 is stretched in a somewhat lateral direction, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 1, one edge of the tab may be stretched more than the other to prevent undue distortion or displacement of the girdle. I have also found that less strain is exerted on the girdle and that the garter is more easily adjusted to the movements of, the wearer if the elastic strands l of the tab are made more elastic than is the elastic tape.
The upper edge of the connecting tab may be secured to the lower edge of the girdle by means of stitching 9, and the lower edge of theelastic tab may be secured to the upper edge of the elastic tape by stitching [0.
Further modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art and it is desired, therefore, that the invention be limited only by the prior art and the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In combination with a girdle or the like, means for supporting a stocking from the girdle comprising an elastic extensible and contractible tape, means at the lower end of the tape for securing a stocking thereto, and means for securing the upper end of. the tape to said girdle compris- 5 ing a woven fabric tab secured at its upper edgeto said girdle and at its lower edge to said tape, the upper edge of the tab which is secured to the girdle being materially wider than the width of the tape, said tab having extensible and contractible strands extending between said girdle and tape, the edges of the tab between the girdle and tape being folded over and the raw edges being stitched to the body of the tab by longitudinally extensible zigzag stitching whereby, in 45 stretching, one edge of the tab may be stretched more than the other to prevent undue distortion and displacement of the girdle, the elastic tab being more elastic and more easily stretched than the elastic tape. 50
2. In combination with a girdle or the like, means for supporting a stocking from the girdle comprising an elastic extensible and contractible tape, means at the lower end of the tape for securing a stocking thereto, and means for securing 55 "the girdle being mate'rially wider than the the upper end'of. thetape to said girdle comprisinga'woven fabric tab secured at its upper edge to said girdle and at its lower edge to said tape, the upperledge' of the tab which is secured to width of the tape, said tab having'extensible and contractible strands extending between said girdle girdle.
