UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
MARY L. CUMMINGS, OF SOMERVILLE, MASSACHUSETTS.
SKI RT-PROTECTO R.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 308,879, dated December 9, 1884.
Application filed April 21, 1884.
(No model.)
ber, rubber cloth, orother suitable materials enable any person skilled in the art or science to which said invention appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is an isometrical perspective view representing my improved skirt-protector in use, and Fig. 2 an enlarged sectional view illustrating its construction.
Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different figures of the drawings.
My invention relates to that class of skirtprotectors which are designed to entirely in close the lower portion of the skirt to be protected; and it consists in a novel construction and arrangement of the parts, as hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed, by which a cheaper and more effective device of this character is produced than is now in ordinary use.
The nature and operation of the improvement will be readily understood by all conversant with such matters from the following explanation, its extreme simplicity rendering an elaborate description unnecessary. In the drawings, A represents the body or outer skirt; B, the inner skirt; 0, the sack or supporter connecting the skirts; D, the extension-flap to the inner skirt, and E the extension-flap to the outer skirt.
The outer skirt, A, is composed of silk or any other suitable material, and is connected to the sack or supporter O by the seam h,
.which is covered with the frill j. r
5 at d. The flap D is likewise preferably composed of the same materials as the inner skirt,
B, and is connected thereto by a seam at :v.
The sack or supporter (3 is composed of rubadapted to keep the water from penetrating to the inclosed skirts.
From the foregoing it will be obvious that the protector consists, essentially, of two fulllength skirts connected at their lower ends by an intermediate sack of rubber cloth, each skirt being provided at its upper end with a flap by which it is rendered extensible.
In the use of my improvement the skirts to be protected are inserted between the skirts A B, their lower ends resting in the sack O, the skirt A being secured around the waist of the wearer by the button Z, and the skirt B by the button m. .It is sometimes found to be desirable to entirely conceal the rubber portion or sack O, and to do this the inner skirt is drawn up and secured around the waist by the puckering-stringG,the fiap D being turned down either inside or outside of the inner skirt, as most convenient. The outer skirt is then lowered until the frillj touches or; nearly touches the ground, and the flap E pulled up and buttoned around the waist by the but ton t.
Instead of the puckering-string G, a band and hooks and eyes or buttons may be used, if preferred; and instead of the buttons Z or any other suitable means for fastening the skirts maybe employed.
The flaps D E may be made detachable from the skirts, if desired.
Having thus explained my invention,what I claim is 1. In a skirt-protector,an inner and an outer skirt connected at the bottom by a water-proof sack or supporter, said skirts being both provided with means for securing the same around the waist of the wearer, and each extensible, the one upon the other, in alternate opposite directions, substantially as specified.
2. The improved skirt-protector herein described, the same consisting of tlie'skirt A, provided with the flap E and buttons d t, the skirt B, provided with the flap D, button m, and string G, and the sack G, constructed, combined, and arranged to operate substantially as set forth.
