Description
E. G. PAOLA June 3, 1952 GIRDLE Filed July 7, 1950 gvwem too ELIZABETH '6'. PAOLA Wow-a Patented June 3, 1952 UNITED STATES 2,598,720 PATENT OFFICE GIRDLE Elizabeth G. Paola, Washington, D. C. Application July 7, 1950, Serial No. 172,440
2 Claims.
This invention relates to girdles particularly adapted for wear by girls or women of slender build.
It is an object of this invention to provide a girdle which is substantially conventional in the rear, to retain the advantages of the standard girdle, but radically differs in side and front construction to eliminate the disadvantages of the so-called control garments in which the body is tightly confined Without regard to the needs of the user. With the present invention the body is not confined in front except for a band which extends over the upper abdomen principally to support garters, the band spanning the space between a pair of acutely tapering biased panels which adhere closely to the sides and hips of the wearer.
It is also within the contemplation of this invention to provide a simple, inexpensive, light weight garment which, although especially adapted for use by the slender, will also be found to be advantageous for use by persons of heavier build except in cases where substantial support of the lower abdomen or breasts is required.
Other objects of the invention will be apparent from the description of the present preferred form of the invention wherein:
Figure 1 is a front elevational view of a girdle constructed in accordance with the present invention illustrating its application;
Figure 2 is a rear elevational view of the same;
Figure 3 is a side elevational view of the girdle illustrating its application; and
Figure 4 is a front elevational view of the girdle per se.
For the purpose of illustrating the application of this invention I have, in dotted lines, shown the outline of a human figure designated 5, in which the legs are indicated at 6, the lower abdoen at 1 and the waist at 8.
The girdle of the present invention includes a back or rear panel 9, which is of a length, as advantageously illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 of the drawing, to extend from the waist to a point below the buttocks of the user. It will be noted, particularly upon reference to Figure 3 of the drawing, that the side margins of the back panel 9 extend on a line just slightly forward of the back of the wearer so that only a small area of the buttocks at each side will be confined although the rear will be completely covered as shown in Figure 2. Each of the side margins of the rear panel 9 is engaged by the aft edges of side panels l0, said side panels being made of elastic material and cut on the bias. Not only is the fabric of each side panel l bias with respect to the rest of the girdle but in addition the lower margin of each side panel extends at a sharp angle as shown in Figure 3. The front end of one of the side panels is fixedly secured, as indicated at H, to one end of a band or belt l2. The front end of the opposite side panel In is detachably engaged, as indicated at l3 to the opposite end of the band or belt l2. As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the band or belt (2 extends over the upper abdomen of the wearer.
The upper end of each side panel extends across the side of the wearer from a point at the side of the abdomen to a point in close proximity to the back of the wearer. The lower edge of each side panel It extends downwardly from a point adjacent the side of the abdomen to a point below the buttocks at the back of the legs as also shown to advantage in Figure 3.
Front garters are pendently carried by the lower end of the band or belt l2. Preferably each garter is secured to the band or belt at approximately the juncture of the latter with a side panel. Rear garters 15 are secured to the lower end of the rear panel 9 in close proximity to the side margins of the panel as shown in Figure 2. When the rear garters I5 are engaged with the stockings the back and sides of the girdle will dip downwardly as indicated at it and shown in Figure 3. This effects a desirable snugness and further lends symmetry to the parts of the body encased by the garment.
The rear panel 9 is made of inelastic material and the band or belt I2 is also preferably made of inelastic material. It is essential, however, to the construction and proper functioning of this garment, that the side panels be made of elastic material throughout and cut on a bias as above described.
Various changes may be made in the invention without departing from the scope of the appended claims.
What I claim is:
1. A girdle including a rear inelastic panel of a length to extend from the back of the wearers waist to a point below the buttocks, an inelastic band of a length shorter than said panel extending from the waist of the wearer over the upper part of the abdomen, and bias elastic side panels secured to and extending from the ends of said band to the sides of the rear panel and secured to the latter from top to bottom.
2. A girdle including a rear inelastic panel of a length to extend from the back of the wearers waist to a point below the buttocks, an inelastic band of a length shorter than said panel extending over the upper part of the abdomen of the wearer, and bias elastic side panels, one end of one side panel being fixedly secured to one end of the band, the other side panel being detachably engaged to the other end of the band, the opposite ends of the side panels being secured to the rear panel from the top to the bottom of the latter.
