Definitions

  • GIRDLE OR FOUNDATION GARMENT Filed Feb. l2, 1945 Patented Jan. 29, 1946 GIRDLE OR FOUNDATION GARMENT Conrad Bollinger, Downers Grove, Ill., assignor to A. Stein and Company, Chicago, Ill., a corporation of Illinois Application February 12, 1945, Serial No. 577,4 16
  • This invention relates to improvements in womens under garments, such as typified by socalled girdles and foundation garments which are usually designed to supply support to the wearers abdomen.
  • the main objects of the present invention are to provide garments of the character indicated with an abdominal supporting panel which will be highly effective to supply the desired support; to provide such garments with an eiective supporting panel which is wholly free from rigid or semi-rigid stays or harsh reinforcing seams or other devices designed to supply the functionliiof stays; to provide in garments of the character indicated, supporting panels which not only provide effective support but which may be so shaped or styled as to provide the garment with an attractive appearance which is of great importance in respect of the selling of the garments:
  • garment panel structures as aforesaid, which may be produced and embodied in garments at low cost both in respect of the material in the panel itself and in respect of the cutting of the panel to its required shape, and the joining of the panel to the other portions of the garment.
  • Fig. 1 is a front perspective view of a pantie girdle type of garment
  • Fig. 2 is a cross section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 3 is a front perspective of a foundation garment
  • Fig. 4 is a section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3.
  • the side, rear and leg portions constituting the main body I of the garment may he formed of any suitable material such as a knitted or woven material which is elastic in the horizontal direction.
  • the crotch part of the garment may be formed of a suitable knitted or woven inelasticv insert 2 which may extend continuously from one leg into the other.
  • the central .front portion of the garment is formed of a panel 3 which is, in this instance, of laminated construction.
  • the panel 3 comprises an outer fabric member 4 of silk, rayon or other material which will provide the desired appearance, an inner ply or layer 5 of material such as cotton or shaker annel which has a nap on the side which is inside of the garment and which contacts the body.
  • the two layers or plies 4 and 5 are united in face to face relation over their entire areas by means of an intervening ply or coating 6 of rubber or rubber-like material, such as some of the now known vinyl resin compositions which have some of the properties of rubber and are, in effect, forms of synthetic rubber.
  • the uniting coating 6 is preferably a moisture proof, water'insoluble coating which will not be dissolved or so affected by laundering in water or by perspiration that the bond between the outer and inner fabrics 4 and 5 would be materially impaired.
  • Fabric ofthe character described has the characteristic of astrong resistance to sharp folding and permanent creasing ⁇ while at the same time remaining soft and iiexible enough to be capableV of hugging the body of the wearer of the garment.
  • the outer and inner fabrics 4 and 5 are preferably of non-stretchable material, especially in the horizontal direction of the garment, and preferably in all directions so that the panel will provide the required abdominal support.
  • Fabric such as employed in the panel 3 may be formed by applying a coating of the laminating material 6 on either the outer or inner fabric member and then applying the other fabric member, and passing the laminated fabric through suitable squeeze or pressing rolls to insure effective and all-over bonding between the plies of the fabric.
  • .A sheet of laminated fabric of the character described may be cut to any fanciful shape without regard to the direction of the Wales or threads of the fabric since the threads of the two fabrics are effectively anchored by the bonding ply 6 whereby there is no tendency for the fabric to unravel at its edge.
  • the panel 3 with its fanciful downwardly pointed shaping and its concavely curved side edges may be cut from a piece of the fabric and united directly to the body I of the garment without taping, hemming or otherwise finishing the edges of the panel.
  • Fig. 2 where the raw cut edges of the panel are indicated at 'I and stitching uniting the panel to the body I of the garment is indicated at 8.
  • This stitching may be of any suitable form and may of itself be such as to more or less ornament the garment, as indicated in Fig. l.
  • an elastic tape I may be secured to the inside of the garment and the upper edges of the body I and the upper edge of the panel 3 may be turned inwardly and downwardly so as to be covered by the band I 0.
  • an abdominal supporting panel II may be provided in the front portion of the garment I2.
  • the panel I I may be of the same kind of material as that described above in respect of the panel 3 and in this instance the panel II is illustrated as being located between inner and outer plies I3 and I4 respectively of net-like material forming a front panel I5 in the garment.
  • the sides I6 of the garment may be of any desired material, for example, material which is stretchable both vertically and horizontally of the garment.
  • a central back panel may be formed of net material, such as the material in the front panel I5.
  • the panel II is secured in place between the inner and outer plies I3 and I4 of the front panel I5 by stitching I6 which may follow the fanciful contour of the panel II.
  • the panel II like the panel 3, may be cut from a suitable sheet of the material and because of its laminated construction may be embodied in the garment without binding or otherwise treating its raw edges I1.
  • the panel II is illustrated as a single thickness of material which is in keeping with the manner of handling the material during the fabrication of the garment. It will, of course, -be understood that the panel II consists of at least one ply of fabric and a ply of moisture-proof, water insoluble material having the characteristics of rubber in respect of its resistance to sharp folding and permanent creasing. Because of the presence in the arrangement shown in Figs. 3 and 4, of an inner ply of fabric independent of the panel I I, it is not essential that the panel I I have its own inner fabric ply such as the fabric ply 5 of the panel 3.
  • the described panel structure is particularly advantageous in that it eliminates the need for any form of semi-rigid stays.
  • the panel 3 is free to fold downwardly, especially near its upper edge as is usually required when the wearer of a girdle changes from a standing position to a setting position. There are no relatively stiff stays to resist such folding movement and to retain a more or less upright position to the severe discomfort of the wearer. Nevertheless the capacity of the material to return to its normal shape is such that when the wearer of the garment resumes a standing position the upper portion of the panel will also return to its normal, smooth, body-hugging condition without objectionable wrinkles or folds.
  • Another advantage of the described construction is that it avoids the usually necessary hems or other binding at the cut edges of the abdominal supporting panel, whereby the formation of thick, uncomfortable seam-like ridges is avoided along the panel edges where it is joined to the body of the garment.
  • a garment of the class described having a horizontally stretchable body portion and an abdominal supporting panel, said panel being of laminated construction embodying an inextensible textile fabric ply and a ply of flexible, water insoluble material united over its entire area in face-to-face relationship to said textile ply, said water insoluble ply being of material which has a live rubber-like resistance to permanent folding and creasing and thereby tends to restore the panel from any folded or wrinkled condition to a normally smooth condition, said panel serving, when the garment is distended and stretched horizontally while being worn, to permit the abdominal covering area of the garment to freely bend and wrinkle when the wearer bends as when changing from a standing to a sitting position, and to restore said abdominal covering area of the garment to smooth, body hugging condition when the wearer resumes a standing or from any folded or wrinkled condition to a nor@ mally smooth condition, said panel serving when the garment is distended and stretched horizontally while being worn to permit the abdominal covering area of the garment to freely bend and wrinkle when the wearer bend
