Application October 23, 1950, Serial No. 191,688
1 Claim. 1
This invention relates to saddles for brassiere straps, and the primary object of the same is to provide a new and improved means of attaching the saddle to the brassiere strap.
This application is an improvement over our allowed United States Patent Number 2,505,272.
With our new and improved means of securing the saddle to the brassiere strap, no clips or fasteners need be sewed to the strap.
Our improvement consists of providing folding flaps forming part of the saddle and adapted to receive the brassiere strap, the said flaps holding the saddle to the strap preventing the saddle from slipping on the strap when the saddle is shaped over the shoulder of the wearer.
These and other incidental objects will be apparent in the drawings, specification and claim.
Referring to the drawings:
Figure 1 is a plan view of our new and improved saddle for brassiere straps.
Figure 2 is an end sectional view, taken on line 22 of Figure 1, illustrating the normal position of the holding flaps.
Figure 3 a perspective view of the saddle illustrates the flaps having been raised for permitting the entry of the brassiere strap thereunder, said strap being indicated by broken lines.
Figure 4 is a sectional end view, taken on line 4-4 of Figure 3.
Figure 5 illustrates the flaps holding the brassiere strap in place, the said flaps being held down thereagainst by the curvature of the saddle.
Figure 6 is a sectional end view of the saddle, taken on line 66 of Figure 5.
Figure 7 is a detail fragmentary sectional view of one of the flaps, illustrating the method of securing the same to the saddle for reenforcing the same.
Figure 8 illustrates our new and improved saddle being worn by the wearer.
Referring more specifically to the drawings:
Our new and improved brassiere strap saddle comprises a thin pliable pad I, shaped as illustrated, having a wide bridge-like portion 2 for resting on the shoulder of the wearer. The pad I preferably has a soft pliable material 3 on its underside adapted to contact the shoulder of the wearer.
This invention consists of securing the flaps 4 to the upper surface of the pad I by sewing 5, or other suitable means of applying the flaps to the pad. In the event the pad I is made from plastic and also the flaps from plastic, the usual plastic methods of joining two plastics together may be employed.
The flaps 4 are preferably reenforced by a relatively stiff sheet of material 6, referring to Figure '7, throughout their lengths. The means of securing the flaps 4 to the body I has a tendency to hold the flaps 4 down against the brassiere strap 1, holding the saddle to the strap, but when the saddle is on the shoulder of the wearer and curved over the same, the relatively stifi flaps are forced fiat against the pad, to securely grip the brassire strap preventing slippage.
We will now describe how the saddle is applied to the brassiere strap. The flaps 4 are opened as illustrated in Figures 3 and 4, the brassiere strap indicated by the broken line 'IA is placed as illustrated, after which the flaps 4 are permitted to close down on the strap as indicated in Figure 6. When the saddle is placed on the shoulder of the wearer, as stated above, the flaps due to their being secured to the pad, grip the brassire strap between the said flaps and the pad I, caused by the curvature of the saddle over the shoulder.
What we claim is: 1
A shoulder strap saddle of the type described, comprising a thin pliable pad for resting on a wearers shoulder under a shoulder strap, said pad being of a length to curve over a wearers shoulder to relieve it of the tension of a shoulder strap, and a pair of thin flaps mounted on said pad in opposed relation with their adJacent edges closely juxtapositioned and their opposite edge portions secured longitudinally of said pad to permit swinging apart to receive a shoulder strap therebetween, said flaps being of relatively stiff material and being elongated longitudinally of said pad to be forced flat against said pad and over a, shoulder strap when the pad is curved over a shoulder whereby to lock a shoulder strap between said pad and said flaps.
