l My invention relates to undergarments and more specically to a maternity belt that incorporates many new and novel structural features.
My principal objective was to design a maternity belt that would provide improved abdominal support means and which at the same time would assure the wearer absolute comfort.
A further objective was to provide a garment of this type that would be suitable for the younger woman with a slim gure who does not require the conventional bulky and cumbersome maternity undergarment.
Another advantage of my invention is to incorporate novel adjusting and expansion features that enable the wearer to quickly adjust the belt to assure an accurate fitting.
Further advantages and unique features of my device will be apparent as I proceed with the description.
With reference to the drawings.
Figure 1 shows a face view of my maternity belt,
Figure 2 shows a fragmental view of the lacing, and
Figure 3 shows a sectional View online 3--3 of Figure 1.
Shown in Fig. 1 is my improved type of maternity belt I0, whose principal component parts consist of two rear panels or sections II and I2, which are joined by lacing I3,andafrontpanel I4. The adjacent edges of the rear panels II and I2 are each equipped with reinforcing strips or tabs I5, in which are mounted a pair of vertical stifening inserts or bones I6. Positioned between each pair of inserts I6 are a plurality of eyelets I'I for the lacing I3. The front panel I4 has one edge connected to the adjacent edge of the rear panel I2 by a suitable reinforcing tape and stitches as indicated at I8. The other edge of the front panel I4 is likewise equipped with a reinforcing strip I9 to which are secured a plurality of spaced hooks 20. Similarly one edge of the rear panel I I is provided with a reinforcing strip 2| in which, in positions corresponding to the space positions of the hooks 2D, there is secured a double row of spaced eyelets 22, each of which is adapted to be engaged by one of the hooks 2li for the purpose of providing greater exibility of adjustment in the garment I0. The panels or sections II, I2 and I4 in their preferred form will be made from an elastic material, such as, satin elastic or a similar type of product.
Positioned on the inside of the belt I to the rear of the lacing I3 and having its opposite ends 23 secured to the rear panels II and I2 is an intermediate section 24 made of non-elastic material. The section 24 has its edges secured to the reinforcing sections or tapes I5, and is adapted to close the gap between the ends of the rear panels II and I2. The section 24 is of suiilcient length to close the gap between the rear panels I I and I2 when the lacing I3 has been fully eX- tended and, furthermore, it is adapted to -overlap the edges of the panels II and I2 as illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3, when the adjacent edges of the panels are together or in close proximity to each other. Additional features of my belt show the upper and lower edges equipped with an elastic binding 25. The belt is also provided with a plurality of conventional hose supporting means 26.
It will be seen, therefore, that the garment according to the invention provides a maternity belt of little bulk that is specially adapted for the junior gure. Also, that perfect alignment and a good t are assured due to the lacing which may be adjusted to increase or decrease the circumferential size of the belt. Furthermore, additional adjustment is provided through the double rows of eyelets which provide for minor adjustment and to open and close the belt for donning and removing purposes. In view of the fact, that, the panels are made of an elastic material, the garment also possesses form fitting qualities. It is a garment that will provide sufficient abdominal support to the wearer and at the same time will not present a bulky or cumbersome appearance.
I claim:
1. A maternity belt which comprises two rear sections and a front section, said sections being horizontally elastic and vertically relatively inelastic, adjacent edges of the rear sections being boned, and adjustable connections between said adjacent edges, and a vertically and horizontally non-elastic intermediate section disposed on the inside of the rear sections with opposite edges of said intermediate section secured to the adjacent edges of the respective rear sections in overlapping relation to cover the gap between the edges of the rear sections as they may be separated as the garment is allowed to expand.
2. A maternity belt which comprises two rear sections and a front section, said sections, being horizontally elastic and vertically relatively inelastic, adjacent edges of the rear sections being boned, and adjustable connections between said adjacent edges, said connections comprising laces and eyelets, said front section having one edge secured to an adjacent edge of a rear section, and
adjustable means connecting the other edge of the front section and the adjacent edge of the other rear section, and a vertically and horizontally non-elastic intermediate section disposed on the inside of the rear sections with opposite edges of said intermediate section secured to the adjacent edges of the respective rear sections in overlapping relation to cover the gap between said edges as they may be separated as the garment is allowed to expand.
3. A maternity belt which comprises two rear sections and a front section, said sections being horizontally elastic and vertically relatively inelastic, adjacent edges of the rear sections being boned, and adjustable connections between said adjacent edges, said connections comprising laces and eyelets, said front section having one edge secured to an adjacent edge of a rear section, adjustable hook-and-eye means connecting the other edge of the front section and the adjacent edge of the other rear section, and a, vertically7 and horizontally non-elastic intermediate section disposed on the inside of the rear sections with opposite edges of said intermediate section secured to the adjacent edges of the respective rear sections in overlapping relation to cover the gap Abetween said edges as they may be separated as the garment is allowed to expand.
4. A maternity belt which comprises two rear sections and a front section, said sections being horizontally elastic and vertically relatively inelastic, adjacent edges of the rear sections being boned, and adjustable lace and eyelet connections between said adjacent edges, said front section having one edge secured to an adjacent edge of a rear section, a, row of hooks along the other edge of the front section, and a plurality of rows of eyes along the adjacent edge of the other rear section, a vertically and horizontally non-elastic intermediate section disposed on the inside of the rear sections with opposite edges of said intermediate section secured to the adjacent edges of the respective rear sections in overlapping relation to cover the gap between said edges as they may be separated as the garment is allowed to expand.
