COMBINED CORSET AND GARMENT-SUPPO RTER.
*FECIPICATION forming part of LettersiPatent No. 317,958, dated May 12, 1885.
Application filed August 21, 1884. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ABRAHAM L. ZORKOW- sKI, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Corsets and Garment- Supporters, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to garment-supporters, in combination with corsets, and is a modification of the device for which I have filed an application of even date herewith. In my other application I have shown and described depending flaps made continuously and integrally with the main back-body of the corset. My present invention contemplates the provision of independent attached flaps or tabs to be placed in proper position, provided with means to hold them folded or rolled up, as a garment-support; and another part of my invention consists in forming such flaps or tabs so that they can be removed at will, and by suitable means of connection can be attached to any form of corset, all as hereinafter described, and specifically pointed out in the claims.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, in which like letters of reference designate similar parts on each figure, Figure 1 represents a rear view of a pair of corsets provided with two depending tabs, one open, the otherv rolled up, as a garment-support, and showing devices for holding said tabs in their respective positions. Fig. 2 represents a rear view of a pair of corsets with a solid back, wherein one continuous adjustable tab is'employed. Fig. 3 represents a rear view of a pair of corsets provided with means for connecting thereto detachable tabs. Fig. 4 represents front and rear views of a detachable tab, parts of the covering fabric being broken away. Fig. 5 is a sectional detail view showing the operation of my invent-ion.
In the drawings, C represents the corsetback, which may be laced either in the center or at the sides. Said back is made without any break or cut-away portion from c to 0. Near the lower part thereof is one or more tabs, '1, which may be attached thereto with eyelets e, a line of stitching, s, or any other suitable means. The tabs T, when not em- :ployed as a garment-support, are intended to be open and lie flat, (see tab to the right, Fig. 1,) and may be held in such position by a loop and button, Z Z, or be passed under a strip of tape or webbing, w, if required. Said tabs are provided with interior stififeners, S, known in the trade as bones -such as cords,whalebone, layers of fabric, or any suitable material to impart rigidity thereto-said stitfene'rs being arranged in horizontal parallel lines,
as shown. Attached to the tabs Tare fasten- ;ing devices, the preferred form of which are gbuttons F, loops f, and eyeletholes f, 2.1- though I do not confine myself to these special elements as fasteners. I
When the tab T is rolled up, theloopsf are passed through the eyelet-holesf, and being thence returned under and around the body of the rolled-up tab, each of the loops f is slipped over a button, F, .thercby holding the respective tab rolled up,--as shown to the left, Fig. 1. In this position it constitutes a garment-support on which will rest the tape or waistband of any article of apparel necessary to be supported upwardly. In order to keep such articles of apparel from falling down, it has been the practice to draw the waist tape or band measurably tight, thus giving a. very objectionable pressure. Various devices have been provided to obviate this difficulty, among which may be named suspenders passing over the shoulders, vertical supports of webbing or the like supplied with buckle or clasp attachments, all more or less cumbersome, expensive, and inefficient. My invention overcomes all such objections by the provision of an easy resting-place for the skirt, bustle, or other garment, the tension being vertical, and although the direct local resting-place is upon the back of the rolled-up tab, yet the tension is distributed over the whole body of the corsets, and said tension will always present itself to support the on-lying garment, no matter what may be the position of the wearer. In other words, the strain will at all times be relative to the position of the wearer, whether sitting, standing, or walking, the rolled-up tab being the fulcrum, while the leverage strain and tension therefrom will be distributed over the whole structure of the corsets.
I will observe that by employment of my invention not only will the supported article of apparel be prevented from falling down, but it will not turn or twist round sidewise on the person and become awry,'as is frequently the case when bustles or the like are tied round the waist; and I will further observe that when such articles of apparel are simply tied round the waist, especially over corsets that have a smooth surface, the waist tape or band has a tendency to slip down if tied tightly, and if tied loosely the bow orknot often comes open. In such case my invention obviates any unpleasant results, as the waist tape or band is sunk down into the space at the rear of the rolled-up tab, (see detail, Fig. 5,) and being there confined supports the garment, even if the front knot or bow were to become untied and the ends thereof be entirely free.
The operations and functions of the hereindescribcd device are the same as my other application, this one simply being to describe and claim a modified form of construction.
In the drawings the tabs T are shown as extending below the lower edge, 0, of the corset; but the length of said tabs is not essen tial, and I do not confine myself to the extension thereof below the lower edge, 0, as they may reach down to or terminate above said lower edge and be entirely within the scope of my invention.
Having now fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
l. A corset having attached to its rear section one or more detachable depending tabs, T, having free unattached sides and lower edge, said tabs provided with horizontal stiffeners S, and means, substantially as set forth,
for fastening said tabs, rolled up as a garmento 2. A corset provided at its rear section with 4 one or more detachable depending tabs, T, provided with parallel rows of interior stiffeners, S, and having free unattached sides and lower edge, and provided with means, substantially as set forth, for holding and retaining said tabs fiatagainst the underlying portion of said section, as and for the purpose intended, substantially as described.
3. The combination of a corset with one or more rearwardly-attached depending tabs, T, provided with parallel rows'of interior stiffi eners, S, and having eyelet-holes f, buttons F, and loops f, for holding said tabs rolled up as a garment support, and further provided with loops and buttons Z Z, for retaining said tabs on the plane of the rear section of the corset, substantially as described.
4. A combined corset and garment-support consisting of the following elements: a rear portion, 0, one or more depending tabs, T, provided with interior horizontal stiffeners,S, eyelet-holes e, or the like, buttons F, loops f, and eyelet holes f, substantially as described.
5. The within-described garment-supporting tabs T, provided with interior horizontal stiffeners, S, and fastening devices F ff, and fastening devices 6 and Z Z, in combination with the rear section, 0, of a corset, arranged as set forth, as and for the purpose intended, substantially as described.
