  • each is preferably ,attached at a point intersected by a line passing obliquely between the breast pockets from the point to which the other end of the same shoulder strap is attached, and when they are not crossed at the back the free end of each is preferably attached at a point intersected by a line passing obliquely between the breast pockets from the point to which the other end of the other shoulder strap is attached.
  • the ring or rings through which the shoulder straps pass is or are preferably in such a position as to be nearer to the neck than the end of the shoulder.
  • the extremities of the base of the breast pockets may be attached to a lower garment by means of the lateral extensions.
  • the shoulder strap from the right-hand pocket passes over the right shoulder, thence through a ring at the centre of the wearers back which is secured to the lateral extension or other part, whereaafter it is led around 5 the wearers left side to the front and attached to the lower edge of the pockets at a point intersected by an oblique line passing between the Wearers breasts from the top of the right-hand pocket.
  • the other shoulder strap 19 would pass over the left shoulder, through the ring and afterwards around the wearers right side to the front where it would be attached to the lower edge of the pockets at a point intersected by an oblique line passing between the wearer's breasts from the top of the left-hand pocket.
  • each shoulder strap may, after passing through the ring at the back, be led around the same side to the front and be at- 25 tached to the lower edge of the pockets at a point intersected by an oblique line passing between the wearers breasts from the top of the pocket on the other side, whence any slackness due to the lowering of the shoulder on one side 30 would be taken up by the rising of the other shoulder whose shoulder strap will raise the upper edge of the pocket on that side.
  • the shoulder straps may be wholly or in part composed of elastic material in which case their greater length will preserve a greater uniformity of tension under variations of stress.
  • two or more rings which may be triangular or of other suitable shape may be attached directly or indirectly to the aforesaid lateral extension or to other parts at the back of the support, through which rings the shoulder straps may pass in succession, for the purpose of guiding them in the desired direction in the manner hereinbefore indicated.

  • the rings ma are contained in open-ended pockets formed in the extensions c as shown, in which case the-extensionsmay be formed double and their upper edges-connected with lines of stitching 0 to limit the lateral movement of the shoulder straps.
  • the rings mn may conveniently beattached to the extensions 0 by short tapes 3: as shown at the broken-away portion at the right of Figure 3.
  • the shoulder straps fg of a bust support similar to that shown in Figure 1 are crossed before passing through the ring secured to the extension 0 and afterwards led round the wearers body on the opposite side to the shoulder over which they passed and are secured in front at points which are preferably in such positions that the line between the points of attachment of the opposite ends of each shoulder strap passes obliquely between the wearers breasts.
  • the ring 7; ⁇ which may be of any desired shape is shown as a rhombus having its sides tu so inclined that they are normal to a line that bisects the angle between the two parts of the respective shoulder straps fg.
