UNITE STATES PATENT OFFICE.

GABRIEL KURTZ, OF MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN, ASSIGNOR TO JOSEPH H. RICE AND IGNATUS FRIEDMANN, OF SAME PLACE.

OVERALLS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 244,756, dated July 26, 1881.

Application filed January 22, 1881. (ModeL) T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GABRIEL KURTZ, a citizen of the United States,-residin g at the city and county of Milwaukee, State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Overalls, Pantaloons, and Drawers, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact de 'scription, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

Figurel is aview of the overalls, pantaloons, or drawers, with the front open and turned back on one'side, so as to show the inner side of one part of the front and the outside or. face ofthe other. part, and having the overalls, pantaloons, or drawers ripped and spread out so as to show the position of the strip B and the parts 0 C before the same are completed. ,Fig. 2 is a view of the ordinary strip or fly D which contains the button-holes. Fig. 3 is a view of the overalls, pantaloons, or drawers havin g the parts 0 0 turned or folded in their proper position, so as to cover and overlap the strip B. Fig. 4 is a sectional view of the overalls through the line X, as shown in Fig. 3,'

torn from the waistband, and to prevent the scam in the crotch at the bottom of the opening in front from being torn or ripped apart.

B is a continuous strip of cloth placed on the inner side of the overalls, pantaloons, or drawers, and is firmly sewed to the waistband, and extends down each side of the opening in front and across the seam at the bottom of the openin g in front. The strip 13 is about one-half of an inch shorter than twice the length of the opening in front, and, each end being sewed to the band-E, it does not quite reach the scam in the crotch at thebottom of the openingin front,

and is sewed or attached to the band alone. After the strip B is secured, as described, the parts 0 C are turned or folded in and sewed to the overalls, pantaloons, or drawers, so as to completely cover and overlap the strip B, as

.vent it from getting entangled with anything while the overalls, pantaloons, or drawers are being used or taken off or put on. The strip B being sewed to the waistband E alone, all the strain that the strip B sustains falls upon the waistband E, and thus prevents any such strain from tearing the overalls, pantaloons, 0r drawers 'from the waistband E; and the stripB being a little short, and not quite reachin g the scam in the crotch at the bottom of the opening in front, it will receive and take up all the strain and pull that is apt to occur in putting on or taking off the overalls, pantaloons, or drawers before such strain or pull can reach the seam at that point where the scam in the crotch meets the bottom of the opening in front.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

As a new article of manufacture, overalls, pantaloons, or drawers having a strip, B, each end of which is securely sewed to the waist band E, and attached to the overalls, panta- 8o locus, or drawers at no other point, said strip extending from the band E down each side of the opening in front, so as to nearly reach the scam in the crotch at the bottom of the opening in front, and being covered and kept in place by the overlapping of the parts 0 G,the same being constructed substantially as herein shown and described.
