Definitions

  • Known garters generally comprise four parts, namely a stretchable support strap, a tongue with the stud of a clip mounted on it, a buckle for co-operating with the stud, and a cover strip covering both sides of the clip, i.e. the stud and buckle. Attachment to the stocking is achieved in that the stud, with the welt of the stocking placed over it, is pushed into the buckle.
  • the clip is covered by a soft textile cover stn'p, generally a strip of taifeta, which masks both the top and bottom of the clip.
  • a soft textile cover stn'p generally a strip of taifeta, which masks both the top and bottom of the clip.
  • One end of the cover strip passes through a fixing web or cross-member of the buckle, so that the arms of the cover strip which is folded in V-formation grip the clip between them.
  • the cover strip is secured by a few stitches in the region of the fixing web of the buckle.
  • the invention aims to provide a simplified garter, the manufacture of which calls for fewer components and assembly operations.
  • the stud s carried by the cover strip itself.
  • the tongue which hitherto served for attachment of the stud becomes superfluous.
  • the shape of the buckle can' therefore also be simplified. Apart from the opening for engaging the stud, only one other opening is required through which the support strap is passed and secured and through which it is expedient also to pass the cover strip.
  • cover strip a soft strip of textile material which, when folded into V-Shape
  • FIG. l shows the lower part of a garter, in longitudinal cross-section taken on the line I-I of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of the garter of FIG. l.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 are longitudinal cross-sections of modications.
  • the garter shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises an elastic support strap 3, a buckle or buckle member 4 and a cover strip 5.
  • the cover strip 5 is doubled over in V-formation, its two layers 6 and 7 enclosing the buckle 4.
  • the stud 8 is attached to the inside of one layer 7 of the strip.
  • the cover strip 5 is a textile product -made from polyamide.
  • the stud 8 is attached in that its base plate 9 is welded to the layer 7 as indicated at 10 in FIG. l by chain-dotted lines and in FIG. 2 by the cross-hatching 10.
  • the cover strip 5 is passed through an aperture 12 in the mounting portion 11 of the buckle 4 and welded to the buckle 4 at 13.
  • the position of this weld 13 is indicated in FIG. 1 by a chain-dotted line and in FIG. 2 by cross-hatching.
  • the aperture 12 in the buckle 4 also serves for attachment of the support strap 3 which, in the present case, is formed as a two-layer band which passes through the aperture 12 and of which the layers 14, 15 are spread V-wise.
  • the two ends (not shown in the drawing) of the layers 14, 15 of the support strap are attached to a garment such as a corset, garter belt or girdle.
  • the same elastic textile material is used for making both the cover strip 5 and the support strap 3.
  • the garter is of similar construction and the same reference numerals are used but with reference indices.
  • the support strap 3 is a two-layer band, the layers 14', 15 of which are directly superposed.
  • the support strap 3 passes through an aperture 12 in the part 11' of the buckle 4'.
  • the strap is welded on bothsides to the buckle, as indicated at 17 by a chain-dotted line.
  • the end 16 of the buckle remote from the stud 8, the str-ap 3 is bifurcated.
  • Two separate layers 14", 15 of support strap 3" are introduced into the bifurcation 18". They can be exactly superposed or may be spread in V-formation.
  • the ends of the two layers 14", 15" which are introduced into the bifurcation 18" lare at that place welded to the buckle 4".
  • the position of this weld 17 is indicated by a chain-dotted line in FIG. 4.
  • the support strap can be of a single layer. In this case, it could likewise be welded to the buckle.
  • a garter particularly for stockings and the like, comprising a buckle member having a section formed with an opening including a wider portion and an adjoining narrower portion; a supporting strap secured to ⁇ said buckle member and adapted to be attached to a garment; and a single elongated cover strip member doubled back upon itself as to provide two strip portions overlying one another and having juxtaposed inner faces, at least one of said buckle and cover strip members consisting of weldable material and said buckle member being received between said strip portions of said cover strip member and welded to said cover strip member and one of said strip portions carrying on the inner face thereof a stud receivable in said wider portion of said opening and adapted to be wedged into said narrower portion of the same.
  • said buckle member is elongated and comprises spaced end portions, said buckle member being provided in one of said end portions with a slot extending transversely of the elongation of the buckle member and said opening extending in the direction of elongation of the buckle member fro-m said one towards the other end portion; and wherein said strip portions overlie said buckle member on opposite sides of the latter.
  • Vsaid ⁇ cover strip member consists of an elastic material.
  • each of said strip portions has an exposed surface facing outwardly away from said buckle member; and further comprising padding means provided on said exposed surface of at least one of said strip portions.
