Oct. 5, 1948. F. R. SINOPOLI SHIRT HOLD-DOWN DEVICE Filed Nbv. 25, 1946 INVENTOR. FRANK R SINOPOL/ BY ATTORNEY Patented Oct. 5, 1948 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE i v H F .H L YWD Y c Frank- R. Sinopoli, San'Digm-Calif.
; Application-November 25, 1946, Serial 1510. 712379 S'Claims.
invention relates; to a shirt hold-down device, more particularly for ,usein inter-connected relation with a person's shirt and trousers and the objects of my invention are:
First, to provide a shirt hold-flown device of this;class which is entirely, hidden from view when in connected relation with a persons shirt d. trou I Second, toprovide a, shirt holdedown device of this .cla.ss' which very efficientlymaintains a persons shirt inneat straightvposition relatively tothe trousers in which the tail of the shirt s. po t d;
"Third to'provide a shirt hold-down device of this class which maybe used in; connection with conventional shirts and trousers withoutalteration of either the shirt or the trousers;
Fourth, to. provide a shirt hold-down device of this classwhich is very simple and easy to apply in. connected relationwith a shirt and trousers;
Fifth, to. provide a shirt, hold-down device of this class which maybe very quickly and easily released from its connected relation with av shirt and trousers;
Sixth to provide a shirthold-down deviceof this classwhich is, very thin and light, preventing undue strain in connection with a shirt and trousers;
iSeventh, to provide-a shirt hold-down device of this .class whichis entirely connected to the thread supporting buttons in connection with. a shirt and trousers; and
.Eighth, to, provide a shirt hold-down. device of this class which is very simple and economical in ,construction, eificient in operation. and which willnot readily deteriorate or get out of order.
Withthese and other objects in view, as will appear hereinafter; my invention consists of certain novel; features of construction, combination and-arrangement of parts and portions as will be hereinafter described' in detail and particularly set-forth in the appended claims, re ference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the characters ofreference thereon 7 forming a part of this application in which:
Fig. i is a frontvelevational view thereof show- 2 the clip Aconstitute the principal-parts and-portions of my shirt hold-down device.
The shirt hook I is arranged to engage the thread G connecting the button'E to the shirt. overlapping portion A. This shirt hook I is provided'with a u shaped portion la adapted to fit 'over the thread G integral with which is an angularly disposed guide portion l b adapted to facilitate the placement-of the U-shapedportion {a over thethread G all-as shown best .in
Fig. l-ofthe drawing. The opposite endpf this shirt hook I is provided with a strap supporting portion Ic disposed substantially in perpendicular relationship with the axis of the U-shaped portion la arranged to engage the loop' portion 3a of the strap 3 all as shown best in Fig.2 cf the drawing. The strap 3 is preferably of-elasticmaterial but may bemade of any other suitable mainQbydaShlihesthe connected relationship there- I with of a shirt and trousers; and Fig. 2 is anedge elevational view thereof showing by dash lines.
the connected relationship thereof witha shirt and trousers. v
similar; characters of reference refer to similar parts and-portions-throughout the drawing.
The-shirt-hook I,' trouserhook 2; strap 3', and i terial as desired. This strap 3isadjustably secured by means of the clip 4' whichis a conventional strap clip arrangedto provide longitudinal adjustment on the strap 3 as desired. The opposite end of the strap 3 is connected with a strap engaging loop portion 2a of the trouser hook 2. Thistrouser hook 2 is provided" with a substantially U-shaped offset portion 2b arranged to extendaround the overlapping portion 3 of the shirtas indicated by dash lines in .Fig. 1 of the drawing. This offset U-shaped portion 213 is normallypositioned below the upper edge J of the overlapping portions C and D of the trousers. This relationship is maintained by the position of the-button F secured to the trousers by *the thread H around which the hook portion 2c of the trouser hook 2 is engaged. This button F is the conventional button securing the upper over-lapping portions of the trouser fly. The hook portion 2a of the trouser hooks} is substantially U-shaped and provided with an angularly disposed end portion 2 d arranged to facilitate the placement of the hook portion 20 over the thread H in connection with the conventional button F which is secured to the frontal overlapping portion C of the trousers. It will. be here noted that the u sh-aped, offset portion 2b,
7 as shown in Fig. 2 of thedrawing, passes around theouter edge of the overlapping portion B. of the shirt and to the front side thereof, as shown.
best in Fig. 2 of the drawin and engages the.
thread H in connection with the button F for-, wardly of the overlapping portion B of the shirt below the. upp r edge of the trousers.
The operation of my shirt hold-down device is; substantially as. follows:
" In connecting my shirt hold-down device to a .below the upper edge J of the trousers.
shirt and trousers, the shirt hook I at its U- shaped portion la is first fitted over the thread connecting the button E to the rearmost overlapping portion A of the shirt, thus, the shirt hook I is entirely hidden between the overlapping portions A and B of the shirt and extends downwardly therebetween in connection with the strap 3 which suspends the trouser hook 2 at a position After the shirt hook I has been properly connected to the shirt as hereinbefore described, the trouser hook 2 at its offset U-shapecl portion 21) is placed around the outer edge B of the overlapping portion B of the shirt whereby the hook portion 20 of the trousers 2 is placed at the front side of the overlapping portion B of the shirt below the upper edge J of the trousers and engaged with the thread H connecting the button F to the front overlapping portion C of the trousers. The elastic character of the strap 3 maintains slight tension intermediate the buttons E and F of the shirt and trousers respectively, whereby the shirt is held in neat, straight, fiat position at the front side of the wearer and is prevented from billowing out over the upper edge J of the trousers. This shirt hold-down device is quickly disconnected from the trousers by simply shifting the hook portion 20 thereof laterally of the thread H connecting the button F to the front overlapping portion C of the trousers permitting the shirt or trousers to be removed individually as desired.
