Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an elastic tape, especially intended to ensure the maintenance in position on 'a part of the body of an article of clothing to which it is fixed, and having for that purpose the two-fold property of not slipping on the surface with which it is in contact, and of being adjustable in length according to the size of the user.
  • Elastic fabrics are known, in particular in the form of tapes, of 'which one face is provided with visible rubber threads. These elastic fabrics are employed, for example, for the upper part of socks in order to hold them on the leg, the rubber threads ensuring a better grip on the skin.
  • tapes provided on one of their faces with pockets, slides or other holding means, adapted to co-operate with an attachment of appropriate form, and permitting the useful length of the tape to be adjusted according to the size of the user. Tapes of this kind are utilized in particular for the straps of brassieres.
  • the invention has for its object an elastic tape, of which one face comprises anti-slipping means while the other face is provided with means for effecting the adjustment of the useful length of the tape, the co-operation of these means permitting-in particular in the case of theapplication of the tape to the fixing of ladies stockings-the manufacture of articles which, irrespective of the size of the wearer, retains the advantages normally provided by the existence of anti-slipping means.
  • the elastic tape is woven in such manner that one of its faces has at least one uncovered rubber warp, while the other face comprises a plurality of transverse pockets capable of receiving the pins of an attachment of suitable form permitting the joining together of two non-contiguous pockets, and in consequence the adjustment of the useful length of the tape.
  • non-slip face of the elastic tape according to the invention may be given this property by any other known means, for example by coating with an adherent material.
  • the means for adjusting the length of the tape may be constituted by weft threads, in which the hooks of the attachments can be engaged, by buttonholes or by any other known means.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a tape according to the invention, FIG. 1 being a front view with an appropriate at- 3,492,675 Patented Feb. 3, 1970 tachment shown in broken lines, FIG. 2 showing the reverse side.
  • FIG. 3 shows a front view of another tape in accordance with the invention.
  • FIG. 4 again shows a front view of a further tape according to the invention, with an appropriate attachment in broken lines.
  • FIG. 5 represents the tape with transverse pockets according to FIG. 3, fitted on the upper part of a stocking.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates another form of construction of the means for adjusting the length of the tape.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates the application of these adjustment means according to FIG. 6, to the upper part of a stocking.
  • FIG. 8 shows a further form of embodiment of the means for adjusting the length of the tape.
  • FIG. 9 shows the application of the adjusting means according to FIG. 8, to the upper portion of a stocking.
  • FIG. 10 shows a further form of construction of the means for adjusting the length of the tape.
  • FIG. 11 illustrates the application of the adjusting means according to FIG. 10 to the upper part of a stocking.
  • FIG. 1 shows one of the faces of the tape 1 provided with a plurality of pockets 2.
  • FIG. 2 shows the other face comprising one or more bare rubber warps 3. It is clear that these bare rubber warps 3 give the fabric special properties of adhesion on the utilization surface, the skin or an undergarment, while the pockets 2 enable, by their co-operation with an appropriate attachment 7, the tightening length of the tape to be adjusted according to the requirements or the preference of the user.
  • the tape according to the invention is capable of use either independently or securely fastened to an article of clothing. Said tape is particularly advantageous when it is employed for holding a stocking in position, as shown in FIG. 5.
  • the non-slip face of the tape prevents any slipping of the stocking, while the combination of the elasticity of the fabric and the adjustable nature of the tape provide a perfect adjustment of the stocking on the thigh, preventing at the same time any excess or any inadequacy of the tightness, defects which neither the one nor the other of these characteristics utilized separately can completely obviate.
  • the pockets 2 are closed on one side, for example by a stitch 4.
  • the pockets 2 on the side opposite to the opening open into a longitudinal tunnel 5 which facilitates the adjustment in position of the nose 6 of the clip or attachment 7, and provides an excellent fixing and a truly parallel position for this latter.
  • An important advantage of the tapes in accordance with FIG. 3 or FIG. 4 is to permit the weaving of this elastic tape by a weaving loom having a single shuttle, and therefore with an efficiency almost twice as great, as the efficiency attained when using the usual process while employing modern and widely-distributed equipment.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates a further form of embodiment of the invention, in which the pockets are replaced by two rows of weft threads 8 and 9, in which the hooks of the attachment 7 can be engaged.
  • weft threads 10 of each row are directed transversely and are adapted to co-operate with hooks 11, as shown in FIG. 9.
  • the tape is provided at regular intervals with buttonholes 12 adapted to co-operate with buttons 13, as shown in FIG. 11.
  • the other face of the tape is provided with bare rubber warps 3, which gives the tape the advantages referred to above.
  • a stocking and a garter for supporting a stocking from the upper edge thereof, said garter comprising an elastic tape having an inner face, an outer face and a lower edge, said elastic tape having a length substantially greater than the length of said upper edge and having a part only of said lower edge secured to a part of said upper edge, anti-slipping means fastened on said inner face, a number of separate retention elements spaced along and fastened on said outer face, and an attachment member adapted to engage and join together two noncontiguous retention elements whereby the gripping length of said tape may be adjusted.
  • said retention elements consist of transverse pockets and of a longitudinal tunnel connected to said transverse pockets at the lower end thereof and wherein said attachment member consists of a clip provided to be removably introduced into two of said transverse pockets, said clip having a nose engaging said tunnel.
