Attorney Patented Apr. 28, 1953 OFFICE BODY SUPPORTED PERSPIRATION ABSORBING DEVICE George R. Hoffman, (in, Eau Claire, Wis.
Application August 14, 1950, Serial No. 179,249
l This invention relates to a novel construction of perspirationabsorbingdevice including a pad adapted to'be detachably supported in the arm- 'pit for absorbing perspiration and which is readily detachable from its supporting means to enable the pad to be disposed of and replaced with a fresh pad after it has become saturated.
More particularly, it is an aim of the present invention to provide a device of this character of extremely simple construction capable of being readily adjusted to diiferent body sizes and wherein a'pad may be quickly and easily appliedto or removed from its supporting means. Still a further object of the invention is to provide a pad which maybe very economically manufactured and sold and which is adapted to be impregnated with a deodorant.
Still a further object of the invention is to provide a perspiration absorbing device including supporting means of extremely simple construction capable of being comfortably and conveniently worn beneath outer garments.
Various'other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter-become more fully apparent from the following description of the drawing, illustrating a presently preferred embodiment thereof, and wherein:
Figure l is a front elevational view of a portion of the human body showing two of the perspiration absorbing devices in applied positions;
Figure 2 is an enlarged perspective view of one of the devices shown removed from the body;
4 Figures 3 and 4 are enlarged longitudinal sectional views taken substantially along planes as indicated by the lines 3--3' and 4-4, respectively, of Figure 2;
Figure is an enlarged perspective view of 7 one end of the supporting means or suspender,
and
Figure 6 is an enlarged plan View of the absorbing pad.
Referring more specifically to the drawing, the perspiration absorbing device in its entirety is designated generally 1 and includes an absorbent pad 8 and a suspender, designated generally s.
1 Claim. (01. 2-55) I4 and I5.
thereof and which flattened portions are suitably reinforced, as by being compressed or by any other suitable means, so that an opening l3 which is formed in each flattened portion I 2 and which is spaced a considerable distance from the adjacent end of the pad 8 will not readily tear out.
The suspender- 9 includes two straps I 4 and I5 each 'composedof two plies and each of which is preferably formed by a long length of strap which is folded upon itself intermediate of its ends to form the two plies which are stitched together as seen at I 6 except at their terminals to provide free terminal portions I! and H3 at complementary ends of each of the straps The terminal portion ll of each strap is provided with a female snap fastener section l9 and the terminal portion [8 of each strap is providedwith a male snap fastener section 20. The snap fastener sections I9 and 20 are secured in a-conventional manner and open or project from the inner sides of said terminal portions l1 and I8. One set of terminal portions l1 and I8 is adapted to straddle each restricted. pad portion l2 and is secured thereto by engaging the snap fastener sections [9 and 20 thereof through the opening I3 of said recessed portion I2, as illustrated in Figure 3, for detachably fastening the pad between the complementary ends ll, l8 of the straps l4 and IS. The straps I4 and I5 may be formed of any suitable relatively lightweight flexible material and may be relatively thin, due to their two ply construction and since they are only required to support the pad 8 which is of little weight. The opposite, folded ends of the straps l4 and 15 are detachably and adjustably connected in overlapping relationship by a slide loop 2| including endbars 22 under which the straps l4 and 15 extend and an intermediate cross bar 23 over which said straps extend, as best illustrated in Figure 4, and by which the strap ends are frictionally gripped and held in any adjusted position.
The straps l4 and I5, properly adjusted by the loops 2!, form the Suspender 9 which is disposed over the shoulder of the user and supports the pad 8 between the ends l1, l8 thereof, as previously described, and with the pad disposed under the arm, as clearly illustrated in Figure 1, for absorbing perspiration. The pad 8 may be completely assembled with the suspender 9 and the arm then inserted through. the opening formed by the suspender and pad and the suspender moved up the arm and onto the 3 shoulder for positioning the pad beneath the armpit or one end of the pad may be attached to the suspender and after it is positioned over the shoulder, the strap end IT, I B of the strap l5 may be attached to the opposite end of the pad, as previously described. The strap I5 is preferably disposed at the front of the body and is shorter than the strap [4 so that the retaining loop or fastener 2| will be disposed conveniently in front of the body where adjust ments can be made in the length of the suspender. One longitudinal edge of the pad, con stituting an upper edge thereof when in an applied position, is disposed against the armpit whereby the substantially flat sides of the pad are disposed between and against the body and arm, as seen in Figure 1. The strap ends which engage the pad ends are twisted relatively to the intermediate portion of the suspender whereby said strap ends extend upwardly and inwardly from the pad to resist outward sliding movement of the suspender relatively to the shoulder of the wearer.
' The pad 0 is adapted to be impregnated with a deodorant and it will be readily apparent that the pad can. be very economically manufactured and sold so that it provides a disposable .pad which can be thrown away after becoming saturated with perspiration. It will also be apparent that one of the devices I will be supported on each shoulder and withv the pads thereof disposed beneath each armpit.
Various modifications and changes are con templated and may obviously be resorted to, without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter defined by the appended claim.
I claim as my invention:
A perspiration. absorbing device consisting of a. shoulder engaging suspender adapted to be disposed over the shoulder and having a pair of separated ply portions at each end thereof, a pad adapted to be disposed in the armpit and extending from front to back of the body, said pad being substantially .flat and having a. lonseparated ply" portions of the ends of theizsusponder, and the mating snap fastener sections of said suspender ends being detachably connected together through the apertures of said'i fiattened pad ends whereby the pad is detachably connected to the suspender and supportedrsolely thereby in the armpit when the device is"='in a wearing position, said suspender ends bein twisted relatively to the intermediate portio'nof the suspender and extending upwardly inwardly of the body of the wearer from thepad to prevent the suspender from sliding, outwardly of the shoulder of the wearer on which thesespender is supported.
