Definitions

  • an elastic garment predominantly of straight elastic fabric may be greatly improved by utilizing the muscular articulating influence to compensate for the indiscriminate contractive effect of a predominantly uniformly arranged elastic fabric such as found in simple girdles.
  • I accomplish this by disposing a maximally extending elastic band from a portion on the frontal thigh, upwardly along a line substantially in parallelism with the rectus femorus muscle and sartorius muscle, and then arcuately rearwardly and diagonally along proximally over the anterior spine portion of the illium and great trochanter, and then rearwardly to a point below the waistline.
  • an object of my invention to incorporate in an undergarment having a girdle section predominantly of straight cut elastic fabric particularly in the hip, side and thigh sections, in which the primary elasticity is effected by a two-way stretch elastic thread and yarn combination of weave or knit, a reinforcement of an elastic band which consists of a great diagonal hip band and still more, an elastic reinforcement of a great diagonal hip band in which the primary elasticity augments in substantial parallelism the primary elasticity of the threads of the laterally directed elastic threads of the hip and thigh sections of the girdle section which is straight out as a single panel to form such sections.
  • FIGURE 1 is a front elevation of my garment laid fiat, illustrating my invention
  • FIGURE 2 is a side elevation of the same from the left side
  • FIGURE 3 is a rear elevational view of the garment laid flat
  • FIGURE 4 is a fragmentary magnified section, taken on the line 44 of FIGURE 2;
  • FIGURE 5 is a plan view of the blank for supplying the front panel of a garment in accordance with my invention.
  • FIGURE 6 is a plan view of a blank for forming the rear panel
  • FIGURE 7 is a plan view of a blank for forming the left and right hip side and thigh sections of the garment with an outline of the reinforcement band thereon;
  • FIGURE 8 is a plan view of a blank for forming the left and right great diagonal hip band reinforcement band.
  • a front central covering panel 11 comprising preferably generally an inverted triangularly outlined blank shown in FIGURE 5 which is cut from one-way stretch woven elastic fabric having primary elasticity in the direction of the arrow 12 which serves to permit placement of the elastic threads therein to be aligned in parallelism with the vertical axis or center line of the garment.
  • a rear central covering panel 13 is generally an erect triangular or jug shaped blank (see FIGURE 6) likewise cut from one-way stretch elastic fabric having primary elasticity in the direction of the arrow 12 which likewise serves to permit placement of the elastic threads therein to be aligned in parallelism with the vertical axis or center line of the garment.
  • Left and right great-arc diagonal hip band reinforcements 17, 18, one each for the panels 14 and 15, are cut from the pattern blank 17, 18 (FIGURE 8). They are preferably cut so that the primary elasticity is as evidenced by the components of elasticity arrows 16. This direction of elasticity is retained when the band reinforcements are superimposed on side panels 14, 15, to lie substantially as an arcuate band diagonally from each side of the center bottom edges 19, 2t and to extend to each side of the center of the rear upper half of side edges 21, 22., and with the primary elasticity of each of the bands 17 and 18 so provided as to be substantially coincident with that of the panels 14- and 15.
  • Assembly is effected by first combining bands 17 and 18 with side panels 14 and 15, as described, and as diagrammatically shown in superimposed position in FIG- URE 7 so that each reinforcement band is afiixed to the respective side panels by elastically disposed zigzag stitches 23 which lap the bands to the rear surface of the side panels and preferably extend the bands 17, 13, so that the bottom edges 24, 25 of the left and right bands 17, 18 coincide with the bottom edges 19, 20, respectively, and the upper edges 26, 27 of the left and right bands coincide with the side edges 21, 22 of the panels 14 and 15, respectively, in the direction as above described.
  • the garment is sewn to assemble the same. This is done by loop stitching the front panel 11 by forming the left front seam 28 and right front seam 29, to unite the left and right side edges of the front panel if to the conforming side edge of the side panels 14, then the next operation is to stitch the vertical seams 3t 31, joining the side edges 21, 22 to the corresponding side edges of the rear panel 13 aiong the double thickness of the bands 17, 18 at those edges.
  • the garment is completed for making a girdle by hemming the top edge 32 along the waistline or upper edge and then hemming the lower edge 33 along the edges 19, 20, 24, 25, of the blanks described, and the bottom edges of the front panel 11 and rear panel 13, it being understood that along the center of the front of each thigh center of the side sections 14 and 15 the bands 17, 18 are affixed along the edges 24, to anchor these edges securely to the garment pro-per, as described.
  • the completed garment thus made covers the body portion at and from the waistline, downwardly over the hips and thighs, like a short girdle usually does, with the great diagonal hip bands extending from the frontal thighs upwardly, then along a line substantially in parallelism with the rectus femorus muscle and sartorius muscle, rearwardly and arcuately diagonally along the hips over the least yielding portion of the hips, beneath which lies the anterior spine portion of the illium and great trochanter, before being directed rearwardly to a portion of the waistline. At this portion the terminal edges are afiixed adjacent the side edges of the rear panel.
  • the band when the garment is worn, influences the greatest elastic articulation beneficial to contouring and results in a secure feeling of posture correction with each walking movement or straightening movement, as the thigh muscles are tensioned after each relaxing motion.
  • the girdle section of hip, thigh and side sections may be improved to provide some of the benefits of my invention, by the incorporation of the great diagonal elastic hip bands as described made of one-way stretch horizontally-extended elastic fabrics. Further, without intending to be confined thereto, I believe that best results are achieved by employing the great diagonal elastic hip bands as the sole elastic reinforcement means without confining its articulating function along its line of extension by other reinforcement such as lateral or crosswise bands.
  • An undergarment having a girdle section including distensible fabric portions extending from at least the waistline covering portion at its upper edge to at least the thigh covering portion at its lower edge and comprising left and right distensible side, hip, thigh covering panel sections, each of said composite panel sections extending from adjacent one side of the rear medial line of the back section forwardly to one side of the front medial line of the front section of the garment, and from the waistline portion at its upper edge to the thigh portion at its lower edge, the combination wherein said panel sections each have elastically affixed thereto an elastic reinforcing band extending along its length from a point adjacent the waistline portion to one side of the rear medial line of the back section diagonally outwardly to the left and right sides, respectively and then downwardly and forwardly over the peak width of the hip covering portion of the said panel sections, and then frontally downwardly to the thigh portion approximately to span the medial front center of the thigh covering section adjacent the lower front edge of the garment.
