Application February 15, 1950, Serial No. 144,217
7 Claims. l
My invention relates to girdles or like garments.
An important object of the invention is to provide resilient means to oppose the downward rolling of the upper edge of the girdle, and to present a large surface for preventing such roll- 111g.
A further object of the invention is to provide a girdle of the above mentioned character which is comfortable and neat and attractive in appearance.
A further object of the invention is to provide a girdle of the above mentioned character which is of simplified construction and is cheap to manuiacture.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent during the course of the following description.
The present application is a continuation-inpart of my co-pending application for Girdles, filed January 5, 1948, Serial Number 506.
In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this application, and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,
Figure 1 is a perspective View of a girdle embodying my invention,
Figure la is an enlarged fragmentary front elevation of the body portion of the girdle, partly formed,
Figure 2`isa` vertical section taken on line 2 2 of Figure 1, Figure 3 is a horizontal section taken on line 3--3 of Figure l,
Figure 4 is a side elevation of one of the hoops removed,
Figure 5 is a plan view of the same,
Figure 6 is an enlarged fragmentary front elevation of the body portion, partly formed, showing a modified form of hoop unit,
Figure 7 is a vertical section taken on line 1 1 of Figure l,
Figure 8 is a fragmentary side elevation of the rear portion of the body portion, partly formed, showing a further modified form of hoop unit,
Figure 9 is a vertical section taken on line 9--9 of Figure l.
In the drawings, where for the purpose of illustration are shown preferred examples of my invention, the numeral I0 designates the body portion of an elastic girdle which is unitary and formed of latex or the like. The body portion is accordingly horizontally and vertically elastic. The body portion is formed by dipping a core into a latex solution, and when a suitable number of layers are built up a vertical group of resilient hoops II is applied to the body portion at the front thereof and held in place thereon by any suitable means. Each resilient hoop is preferably slightly under compression and its top and bottom are somewhat flattened and are connected by a flexible element or cord I2. The hoops II may be applied to the partly formed latex body portion before the same completely dries, so that the cords and hoops may adhere to such partly formed body portion and remain in place thereon. Any suitable means may be employed to hold the hoops in place upon the partly formed body portion. The hoops II are also formed horizontally curved to correspond to the curvature of the body, Figure 5. The hoops are arranged in a vertical group in overlapping relation, as shown, and the top hoop is adjacent to the top edge of the body portion I. After the group of hoops ll is thus applied to the front of the partly formed body portion, the dipping of the form is continued and additional layers are built up to provide the completed body portion, and the hoops become embedded Within the body portion and are integrally connected therewith.
Arranged upon opposite sides of the front group of hoops Il, upon or near the front of the body portion, are pairs of small hoops I3, adjacent to the upper edge of the body portion I0, Figures 1, 6 and 7. These hoops are preferably smaller than the hoops Il. The hoops I3 in each pair are spaced and substantially concentric, and are embedded in the body portion I0 in the same manner and by the same procedure as described in connection with the hoops II. The hoops I3 are shown without the ilexible cords I2, while the flexible cords l2 may be used with them, if desired.
Pairs of resilient hoops I4 are arranged adjacent to the top edge of the body portion Ill at or near the back of such body portion, Figures 1, 8 and 9. The hoops I4 in each pair are eccentric and their upper portions preferably contact and may be secured together by a sleeve I5, by Welding, or other suitable means. The pairs of hoops I4 are embedded in the body portion Ill in the same manner and by the same procedure as described in connection with the hoops II.
The hoops I I, I3 and I4 are resilient and are all preferably formed of piano wire.
This application is a continuation in part of my pending application for Girdles, Serial Number 506, iiled January 5, 1948.
It is to be understood that the forms; of my invention herewith shown and described are to 3 be taken as preferred embodiments of the same, and that various changes in the shape, size and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claims.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
