Description

Feb. 15, 1944. H. M. HERBENER COMBINED BUST SUPPORTER AND FILLER Filed June 24, 1942 Patented Feb. 15, 1944 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE COMBINED BUST SUPPORTER AND FILLER Henry M. Herbener, Thomasville, Ga.
Application June 24, 1942, Serial No. 448,289
1 Claim.
My invention relates to women's apparel and has particular reference to a combined bust supporter and filler. 1
An important object of the invention is to provid a device of the above-mentioned character which will impart to the bust an increased naturally appearing fullness. 1
A further object of the invention is to provide a device of the above-mentioned character which will support a drooping bust and restore its youthful shape.
A further object of the invention is to provide a device of the above-mentioned character which may be worn without liability of ready detection and which will be comfortable in use.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent during the course of the follow-- ing description.
In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this application and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a device embodying my invention,
Figure 2 is a vertical section taken on line 22 of Figure 1,
Figure 3 is a similar view showing the device applied to the user,
Figure 4 is a horizontal section through the pad taken on line 4-6 of Figure 1,
Figure 5 is a vertical section through the pad, upon an enlarged. scale, parts broken away, and,
Figure 6 is a front elevation of the pad.
In the drawing, wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 5- designates the body portion of the bust supporter having bust receiving pockets 6, which bulge outwardly, as shown. The pockets taper outwardly and are shaped to correspond to the contour of a, youthful bust. The body portion 5 has a lower band I and shoulder straps 8. The pockets 6 are provided in their lower portions with inner webs 9, suitably secured tothe pockets, and these webs form with said pockets, sub-pockets In, to receive pads ll. These pads are formed of a soft compressible resilient material such as sponge rubber. The subpockets may be completely closed or they may have openings formed therein to permit of the insertion and removal of the pads, or portions of the webs 9 may be detachably secured to the pockets for affording suitable openings.
The specific shape and construction of the pad is important. Each pad I is tapered in opposite directions in vertical section, Figures 2 and 3.
Each pad tapers in opposite directions in horizontal section, Figure 4. The outer face of the pad is convex and spherically curved to simulate the natural curve of the lower portion of the bust. The inner face of the pad is generally concave in horizontal section and somewhat convex in vertical section, although the curvature of the inner face is not important as it will be compressed by the bust and follow the curvature of the individual bust. Each pad has an upper marginal zone H and a lower marginal zone l2, which converge to the opposite ends of the pad and meet. The upper marginal zone H is tensioned to move inwardly when not in use, as-
shown in Figures 2 and 5,- while the lower marginal zone I2 is tensioned to move inwardly when not in use, as shown in Figure 4. The marginal zones II and i2 are wide and extend from points A to B. It is thus apparent that the pad is provided with marginal zones II and I! which are tensioned to move inwardly when not in use, to assume inner inclined angular positions with relation to the pad, when not in use. Each marginal zone Ii and i2 is relatively wide and thin, Figure 5, and tapers to a sharp point. The marginal zones H and i2 are therefore highly flexible and while tensioned to move inwardly, will be readily bent outwardly by pressure from the bust and will closely hug the face of the bust, when applied to the'wearer. This will produce a substantially unbroken surface which will be diflicult to detect.
In use, the pads Ii are held within the subpockets l0 and are arranged beneath the bust. Each pad supports the bust and raises the lower face of the bust, which in turn raises the upper face of the same, restoring the youthful convex shape at the top. 'The pad ll lmerges into the shape of the bust, the combined bust and pad appearing as a larger bust having upper and lower convex faces. Since the marginal zones II' and I 2 are tensioned to assume inner inclined angular positions, when the device is not in use, such marginal zones will move outwardly from the inner inclined angular positions when the device is applied to th wearer, and the marginal zones are under tension whereby they will closely hug the bust.
R is to be understood that the form of my invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same and .scope of the subjoined claim.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:
A combined bust supporter and tiller, comprising a. body portion having bust receiving pockets, and a pad held within the lower portion of each pocket beneath the bust, said pad being formed of spongy elastic material and longitudinally tapered, said pad having an outer generally spherical face to correspond generally to the curvature of the upper portion of the raised bust, the pad tapering in opposite directions in longitudinal and transverse cross sections, said pad being provided with a relatively thin resilient wide marginal zone, said marginal zone being arranged at an inner inclined angular position when the pad is not in use and to be moved from the inner inclined angular position to an outer less angular position when the pad is applied to the bust so that the marginal zone is then under tension and will closely hug the bust.
