SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters I'atent No. 289,894, dated December 11, 1883.

Application filed June 15, 1883. (No model.)

T0 all whom it may cancer-n:

Be it known that I, IsAAo R. CURTIs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in tlie county of Essex and State of New J ersey, have invented certain new and useful Iinprovements in Elasties for Pants, &c.; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The obj ect of this invention is to prevent the trouble and inconvenience occasioned by the separation of buttons from childrenls pants, caused by excessive strain thereon when stooping, &o., and to allow a certain amount of elastic'it-y to the garments under said action.

The invention consists in the arrangement and combination of parts, substantially as will be hereinafter set forth, and finallyV embodied in the claims.

Referring to the accoinpanying` drawings, in which similar letters of reference indicate like parts in each of the several fignres, Figure 1 represents the waist portion of a pair of children7s pants to which my improvements have been attached; and Fig'. 2 is a detail View, illustrating a portion of an adjustable strap.

In carrying` out my invention, Iform a strap, Z), having` loops c and e arranged thereon, the former of said loops being at the ends of said strap, and adapted to be buttoned or secured near the side slits usually found in child1'en7s pants, where the front waist portion of said pants engages with the back waist portion. The loops e are adapted to receive the bnttons Said loops are arranged at appro- 40 the said strap to slide laterally therethrough.

When unusual strain is brought to bear on the loops e, the elastcity of the strap allows a certain amount of give, so that the buttons to which said loops are secured will be relieved of said strain, and will not be pulled from the waist. The Strap is made fiexible and elastic by weaving over a spiral spring, a, a fibrous covering, as shown in Fig. 2.

The strap having the loops c 8 may be applied to other garments than children7s pants.

Having` thus described my invention, what I claim is- 1. The combination, with the garment A, of a fiexible strap, b, having the loops c and the stays (Z, all said parts being arranged and operating substantially as and for the purposes set forth and shown.

2. The strap b, composed of a spring, a, covered with a fibrons covering, and provided with loops e and end loops, c, substantially as set forth.

3. In combination, the fleXible strap b, provided with loops e and end loops, c, as a new article of maniifa'cture.

. p In testimony that I claiin the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 29th day of May, 1883.
