Description
UNITED STATES EEICE.
PATENT ELLEN F. PUTNAM, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
Specicaton forming part of Letters Patent No. 38,639, dated May 19, 1863.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ELLEN F. PUTNAM, of the city and State of New York, have invented, made, and applied to use a certa-in new and useful Improved Stocking-Support er; and I do hereby declare the following to be a` full, clear7 and exact description of my said invention, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making` part ot this specification, wherein I have represented a perspective view of my said stockingsupporter.
Ladies stockings are usually retained by an elastic or garter surrounding the limb. This prevents a free circulation of the blood in the parts and sometimes causes the muscles to swell, rendering such garter very disagreeably tight and uncomfortable.
The nature of my said invention consists in an elastic stocking-supporter formed by a waist-belt with pendent tapes passing down on each side near the hips and limiting with elastic straps that extend to loops or buttons on each stocking, and keep the same drawn up to place, so that nearly the same tension isimaintained to keep the stocking up whether the person is sitting or standing.
In the drawings, a is a waist band or belt made to buckle or button around the person. I prefer the strap 1, fitted to button at one end and adjustable to the required size by the buckle 2, applied at the other end of said strap. This device allows for a permanent adjustment of size, and at the saine time for unbuttoning the waistband for its removal. From each side of the said waistband a tapes or straps?) b hang down and are united at their lower end and provided with a buckle,3, taking the elastic strap or band c, the lower end of which is attached to the upper end ot' the stocking, (represented at d.) This elastic band can be shortened or lengthened as re quired by the length of stocking or the size of the person by moving the same through the buckle 3. The said elastic strap may be attached by a button and button-hole, or by a loop or by a hook, to the top of the stocking. The elastic bands c c, while keeping the stockings up to place, allow the motion of the body to be free and unobstructed. My article is thus very useful, and is a novel article of manufacture.
What I claim, and desire to secure by Let: ters Patent, is-
The stocking-supporter composed of the waist-belt a, tapes or straps l) b, and elastic straps c c, extending down the sides of the person and taking the tops of the stockings, as and for the purposes specified.
1n witness whereof I have hereunto set my signature this 30th day of March, 1863.
ELLEN F. PUTNAM.
