UNITED STATES PATENT OF ICE.
MORRIS P. BRAY, OF NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT.
CORSET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 279,323 dated June 12, 1883.
Application filed January 29, 1883. (No model.) i
To all whom, it may concern:
Figure 1, a front view of the front part of a corset; Fig 2, a transverse section enlarged.
This invention relates to an improvement in corsets, with special reference to the front or clasp sections.
In the usual construction, dependence is V placed upon the hook and eye to prevent the accidental disengagement of the .two clasps. Again, various auxiliary stays have been ap plied to aid in sustaining the busks which form the clasps. Such auxiliary stays have been placed upon the inside of the parts, in some cases coextensive with the busk which forms the clasps, or in other cases a broad husk-like steel attached at one side, and so as to extend across and support both busks or clasps; or,
in other cases, auxiliary stays have been introduced into the same pocket with the busk,
either independent of or attached directly to the steel.
The object of my invention is, first, to form a locking device which will .prevent the disengagement of the hook and eye when once clasped, and also by the same device to sustain or give an auxiliary support to the principal busk, and the invention consists in the construction as hereinafter described, and more particularly recited in the claims.
In carrying out my invention I make the front section from one piece of material, doubling it at the edge, as at a, and bring the doubled or two thicknesses together, as at b,
- where they are stitched by a line of stitches,
bring the material of the outer thickness as close up to the line of stitches b as possible, and there run another parallel line of stitches, h. This auxiliary stay f lies forward over the busk, but is of about half the width, or so as to lie in rear of the stud i on one part, or of the rear end pf the eye Z on the other part, as seen in Fig. 2, but so as to be free or inde pendent of the principal busk or spring, to be turned away from it, as upon a hinge, as indicated in broken lines, Fig. 2. The studs and eyes i Z are of the usual construction, and se cured to their respective busks in the usual manner and as shown.
To clasp the corset upon the wearer, she turns the auxiliary flap backward, as indicated in broken lines, Fig. 2, and places the eyes over the studs, then returns the flap or auxiliary stay, which falls upon the end of the eyes and near the studs, as shown in Fig. 2. The curvature given to the springs or stays on the person serves to retain the stay which overlaps the eyes in firm position on the eyes, so as to prevent a possible accidental disengagement. These auxiliary stays or flaps serve to protect the garments from wear of the studs and eyes, because the outer surface of the,stay is outside the studs, and the garment is by means of the auxiliary stays held away from wearing contact with the studs and eyes.
I claim- In a corset, the combination of the two busks in the front edge of the two front parts of the corset, the one carrying the eyes and the other hooks for clas'ping the two parts together, with a pocket carrying an auxiliary stay, f, secured to the body of the corset at the rear edge of the pocket which contains the busk with the hooks, the said auxiliary stay overlying the rear edge of that busk, and extending over the ends of the eyes when engaged with the hooks on said busk, and whereby said eyes are held in engagement with the hooks, substantially as described.
