Description
Aug. 5, 1958 s. N. BARUCH GARMENT SUPPORTERS Filed May 10, 1956 United States Patent GARMENT SUPPORTERS Sydney N. Baruch, New York, N. Y. Application May 10, 1956, Serial No. 584,008 2 Claims. (Cl. 24-246) This invention relates to garment supporters and more particularly to garment supporters to hold stockings and the like. It is an object of my invention to produce a garment supporter of the class described, which is substantially fiat, and which has no unsightly protuberances to mar the appearance of the clothing over it, and which particularly stays fastened when the stocking or object is relaxed. It is a further object of my invention to provide a garment supporter of the class described which may be easily and quickly attached and detached from the garment to be supported and which will, in attached position, hold the garment securely, preventing slipping, and which will, at the same time, distribute the supporting stress uniformly and in such a manner as to eliminate or reduce the tendency to cause runs, and to prevent the supporter becoming unfastened.
This invention is, furthermore, an improvement over my patent of October 29, 1953, No. 2,019,469.
With regard to this patent, it has been demonstrated that one of the fabric-gripping elements known as the toggle slips back when adjusted to the garment and the wearer is in a relaxed position. Therefore, my invention contemplates the provision of a bar or stop to prevent the toggle from passing all the way through an associated loop and releasing the garment.
Another object of my invention is to produce a new shape of toggle which will prevent the garment from slipping out of its supporter. By putting two indentations in the tongue of the toggle, close to an associated hinge, the garment will hook over the indentations of the tongue.
My invention itself will be best understood by referring to the following specification and attached drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a front view of my supporter and its improvements; Fig. 2 is a side view, in closed position; and Fig. 3 is the tongue of the toggle.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the supporter consists of an open flat loop designated generally by reference number 1.
The lower portion of loop 1 is preferably narrowed as at 2, and is provided with supporting strip 3 at its upper end, adapted to receive a loop of fabric by means of which the supporter may be attached to a strip 4, in wellknown manner.
Cooperating with loop 1 is a toggle formed by members 5 and 6, which are hinged together at 7. The upper member 5 hinges on the upper crossbar 7 of loop 1, and is prevented from going all the way through loop 1 by an additional crossbar 8, but allows the hinge 7 to drop slightly below the bottom of loop 1, as shown in Fig. 2. This prevents the toggle from releasing when the garment is fastened thereto.
Member 5 is preferably formed of sheet metal, bent to provide the loops or hinges 7 and 9 at the lower and upper ends respectively and may be slightly bowed above the loop member 8 so that the hinge 7 drops below the loop 1.
Fig. 3 is another form of tongue 10, which may be placed in hinge 7, which provides additional gripping means to hold the garment by reason of the indentations at 11, situated close to hinge 7, and which is especially useful when the garment is very thin such as, for example, in a light weight or gauze material.
Attention is invited to the fact that the lower memher-extending below the lower part of loop 1 is made substantially rounded at its lower extremely. This part may preferably be made of wire instead of being flat. The round point has the advantage of distributing the stress among the threads in the garment to be supported and tends to minimize tearing or the formation of runs.
While I have shown and described certain preferred embodiments of my invention, it will be understood that modifications and changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, as will be clear to those skilled in the art.
What I claim therefore is:
1. A garment supporter comprising, in combination, a unitary, flat, stamped metallic loop having an upper and an intermediate crossbar, and a second part, said loop being attached at its upper end to a flexible support and having a narrowed lower opening adapted to underlie the garment to be supported and to cooperate with said second part to form a quickly attachable and detachable support for the garment; said lower opening having an enlarged portion adjacent to the intermediate crossbar; said second part comprising a toggle consisting of a pair of substantially fiat upper and lower members, the upper member being substantially curved longitudinally and pivotally mounted at its upper end on the upper crossbar, and the lower member being pivoted at its upper extremity to the lower extremity of said upper member; said lower member having a conformation wherein its outside dimension is of a width which is narrower than the enlarged portion of said lower opening, thereby permitting it to be inserted over the garment through said lower opening into a position behind said loop to grip the garment and support it, said lower member being capable of passing through said lower opening, below the loop to a degree limited by the intermediate crossbar with the upper member above the intermediate crossbar.
2. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said lower member defines notches at its upper extremity.
