UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.-
EDWIN B. STIMPSON, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
SUSPENDERS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 403,230, dated May 14, 1889.
Application filed February 16, 1889. Serial No. 300,138. (No model.) 7
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, EDWIN B. STIMPSON, of Brooklyn,in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Suspenders, of which the following is a specification.
I will describe in detail a suspender embodying my improvement, and then point out the novel features in claims.
I11 the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a rear view of portions of a pair of suspenders embodying my improvement. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken on the plane of the dotted line 00 cc, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1, but showing the parts in a different position from that in which they are shown in Fig. 1. V
Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures.
A A designate shoulder-straps, which may be of any suitable material. They have connected with them, as here shown, by stitching, strengthening-pieces B.
O O designate connecting-pieces, and D button-hole tab-pieces. The button-hole tabpieces are provided with strengthening-pieces D. One of the shoulder-straps and one of the button-hole tabs are connected to the connecting-piece O, and the other of the shoulder-straps and the other tab are connected to the connecting-piece O. The connecting-pieces O C may be made of leather or other suitable material. As shown in Fig. 2, they are made of pieces of leather folded upon themselves; but I do not deem it essential that they should be constructed in this manner, as obviously other modes of forming them might be adopted. When in position, the adjacent edges a of the connecting-pieces are somewhat separated from each other, and the connecting-pieces are connected together along said adjacent edges by two or more flexible connections. Ihave shown quite a number of such connections and a mode for forming them, consisting in weaving a cord, piece of leather, or similar material back and forth between the connecting-pieces. When the connecting-pieces are constructed as shown more clearly in Fig. 2, the adjacent edges thereof form loops, and by puncturing the edges of the loops and passing the cord or other flexible connection in and out through said punctures, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the
connecting-pieces will be securely'united together. The ends of the cord or other material b may be secured by paste or otherwise.
I prefer that the shoulder-straps and the tabs be all secured to the connecting-pieces C O with a swiveling connection; but this may be omitted as far as the tabs are concerned, and they may be secured with a rigid connection.
The object of having the shoulder-straps secured to the connecting-pieces by a swiveling connection is shown more clearly in Fig. 3. WVhen the straps are thrown off from the shoulders, they will turn upon the rivets d, which form the swiveling connection, and may thus easily be removed from the shoulders without any danger of disrupting the connection. In Fig. 3, also, I have shown that by the flexible connection between the connecting-pieces C G a longitudinal movement relatively to each other may occur between said connectingpieces, whereby the suspenders are enabled to accommodate themselves to the various movements of the body, thus obviating undue strain upon the shoulders.
It will be seen that by my improvement I provide a suspender which is very simple and durable, and yet one which, while accommodating itself to the movements of the body, will not readily become ruptured.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In suspenders, the combination, with shoulder-straps and back button-hole tabs, of connecting-pieces between the shoulderstraps and tabs with which the shoulder-pieces are pivotally united, said connecting-pieces being connected together along their adjacent edges by two or more flexible connections, substantially as specified.
2. In suspenders, the combination, with shoulder-straps and back button-hole tabs, of connecting-pieces with which both the shoulder-straps and the button-hole tabs are pivotally united, said connecting-pieces being connected together along their adjacent edges by flexible connections, substantially as specifie-d.
EDWIN B. STIMPSON.
