1 Claim.

This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in corselettes, brassieres and girdles especially adapted for use by women, the present invention being an improvement on Patent No. 1,882,252J issued October ll, 1932 to Patrick J Moran.

The principal object of the present invention over the above stated patent is to provide a corselette which will be lighter in weight, yet just as eiective in use, due to special construction and arrangement of features.

Another important object of the invention is to provide a corselette wherein the inner belt'is constructed in such a manner as to lessen the cost of manufacture besides offering a better support and embracement to the diaphragm of the wearer.

Still another important object of the invention over the patent above referred to is to improve the back of the garment in such a manner as to result in a greater embracement of the wearer at the point where the most support is required.

These and various other important objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader of the following specification.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 represents a front elevational view.

Figure 2 is a rear elevational view.

Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view looking at the inside of the front section.

Figure 4 is a sectional view on the line 4-4 of Figure 2.

Figure 5 is a sectional view on the line 5-'5 of Figure 4.

Referring to the drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen that the garment is made up of the back section 5 and the front section 6. The front section 6 is made up of the upwardly flaring piece of material 1 having the downwardly diverged leg portions 8 8 between which is the elastic gore 9. The front section 6 is further constructed of the panels I0 and II which have portions of their edge portions cut away from the points a to the points b so as to leave a space between the panels and the central material piece or panel 'I which is spanned by the elastic inserts I2. These inserts extending from the points a to the points b obviously give a pull around the body and against the diaphragm ywhich is effective in bracing the diaphragm as well as the abdomen.

At the inside of the front section 6 is the specially constructed belt generally referred to by numeral I3 and this consists of the central panel diverged stay containers I5 containing the short stays I6 in the upper portions thereof. Panel members I'I each has one longitudinal edge portion' secured to a side portion of the front section 6 and these panels II are connected by the vertically extending elastic panels I8 to the central section I4, the section I4 being secured at its upper edge portion as at I9 to the upper edge portion of the front section 6. The lower portion of the section I4 is provided with depending tabs 20 from which the hose supporters 2I depend. If desired the upper edge as at I9 may be disconnected in relation to the outside or front section 6, or otherwise associated with the front section 6.

Hook and eye or slide type multiple fasteners 22 are provided between one side edge of the front section 6 and one side edge of the rear section 5, these hook and eye or slide type multiple fasteners extending from the point c to the upper edges of the garment section as at d, the lower portions of the garment section at this side being sewed together as at e. The remaining side edges of the garment sections 5 and 6 are connected by the elastic insert 23.

Numeral 24 represents the breast covering or brassiere structure from which extend the shoulder straps 25 to connect to the lace band 26 of the rear section 5.

The lace band 2'6 extends across the upper portion of the back section 5, the same having its ends secured to the vertical side edges of the section 5 and being connected at its lower edge to the section 5 by elastic straps 21 and 28.A As shown in Figure 4 the rear portion of the garment is formed of inner and outer portions which have their side edges connected to side portions of the rear part of the garment.

While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specific terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size and materials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.

Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

A form supporting garment comprising a front section and a back section, said front section including a front panel and side panels, portions of the side edges of the side panels being connected with portions of the side edges of thev front panel with the remaining portions of said side edges spaced apart, elastic inserts connecting said spaced edges together, a belt forming portion having its side edges fastened to the side cluding a long lower portion and a short upper portion, a centrally arranged elastic strap member connecting the central portions of the upper and lower parts of said back section together and securing members connecting said upper and lower portions of the back section together.

IRVING ROSNER.
