CORSET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 241,589, dated May 1'?, 1881i.
Application filed August 24, 1880. (Model.)
To all whom it may concern: i
Be it known that I, IMoGENE E. BANKER,
of Brooklyn, Kings county, New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Corsets, of which the following is a specification.
The object of this invention is to furnish corsets that will give proper shape and can be worn without discomfort; and, further, to dis-l pense with paddin gs and other devices used to give form to ill-shaped persons, which paddings absorb perspiration and become uncleanly. Y
By this construction I obtain a corset that is light and cleanly, with the necessary flexibility, and furnishing support where required. It is also durable in material and shape.
In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specication, Figure l is a perspective 2o view of my improved corset as applied to use,
y and Fig. 2 is a section of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
I use wire gauze, preferably of steel, and
2 5 plated with silver or other metal that will prevent rust.
The corset is made in two main portions, A A', as usual, litted with steels e at the edges, secured by folding the gauze upon them, and
3o provided with eyes at the back for laces and hooks and eyes at the front. These portions A A' may be each in a single piece, stamped or otherwise brought to shape, or in two or more pieces secured together. When putto- 3 5 gether these partitions should be of the shape it is desired to give the person, and to maintain that shape, and at the same time give support to the wearer, the corset is provided with bands et around the waist, having wide 4o front portions, cross bands cl 'beneath the breasts, and bands b extending from top to bottom at suitable distances apart.. There are also bandsf at the top and bottom edges of the corset. The bands a b d are preferably paddin gs.
made of spring-brass silver-plated, and are at- 4 5 tached to the wire-gauze on the inner or outer side by pins or rivets, by soldering, or in any 4 suitable manner.
By this construction I obtain a porsct stiff enough to retain the shape and to give sup 5o port, yet having the necessary flexibility.
To render the corset comfortable it should tit the body snugly, and as perfect forms are an exception, the faults of shape must be corrected. This has heretofore been done by pad- 5 5 dings to fill out the breast and obtain width at the hips, or by the still more objectionable mode of tight lacing, all of which is unclean, unhealthy, and uncomfortable. For this purposeI provide inner linings, C, of wire, formed 6o of the shape required and attached to the corset at the places required to be fitted to the person. In some cases-as, for instance, a very fleshy personthese linings are not required, the simple corset being all that lis necessa-ry to obtain shape, and such persons can wear this corset with comfort when the ordinary corset would be uncomfortable and become quickly soiled.
It will be seen that no cloth or other inate- 7o rial liable to become soiled is used. The corsets can be easily kept clean and are durable.
I am aware that wire-gauze has been used in corsets in connection with cloth and soft Such I do not claim.
I am aware that wire-gauze has been used in corsets, and that corsets have been. lined with other material; but
W'hat I claim as new is- In combination with awire-gauze corset, the 8o waist and hip sections held in shape by the elastic metallic bands a b, arranged as shown and described.
IMOGENE E. BANKER.
