IMPROVEM ENT lN CORSETS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 222,908, dated December 23, 1879; application filed November 20. 1879.
prevented from being pressed inwardly from the inner surface of the corset.
Heretofore it has been customary to form the pocket which holds the inner busk sepa rately from the main portion of the corset,
and to attach it thereto upon the inner surface thereof in such a manner that it projects inwardly therefrom, and is covered, or partially covered, by a part of the corset proper, which holds the outer steel, as in the patent to J. B. Roby, No. 142,279, dated August 26, 1873. As this inner bus'k is made of metal, and is quite stiff and unyielding, it is pressed inwardly upon the clasping of the outer steels, and as it forms the only bearing part of the front portion of the corset on the body, it is a great source of annoyance, discomfort, and even of disease to the wearer.
An attempt to remedy this defect in construction has been made by constructing the inner busk Wider to increase the bearing on the body; but as the material of which the busk is made is steel, it has resulted only in overcoming one difficulty and in increasing another.
My invention provides such a construction that the inner bush is flush with the inner surface of the corset, and does not project inwardly therefrom when the outer steels are clasped, and it is obtained by making the other pocket, D, and its steel D are the same as in the ordinary doublebusk corset.
proper by the seam c, and is folded in the manner represented in the drawings to bring it in line with and parallel to the inner-husk pocket A. Any other desirable manner of fastening the said pocket 0 to theoutside of the corset may be employed.
I may use my improvement with any of the well known busks of the market.
Reference is made to the accompanying drawings in explaining the nature of the invention, in which Figure 1 is a front view of the corset, showing the pockets which hold the steel D D Fig. 2 is a view representing the steels unclasped and the busk B in its pocket A. Fig. 3.is a cross-section on the line as w of Fig. 1, illustrating the construction.
The advantages of this improvement are too obvious to need further comment.
Having thus fully described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States 1. In a double-husk corset, the combination of the pocket A, formed in the main body of i the corset and provided with the husk B, pocket 0, formed separately and united to the corset upon its outer surface, and provided with the steel D, and the pocket D and its steel D all substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. In a double-husk corset, the pocket A, formed in the main body of the corset and provided with the bush B, and the pocket G, toruiedseparately and united to the corset upon its outer surface, and provided with the steel D, all substantially as and for the purposes described.
