W'ILLIAM S. TEEJ, OF WASHINGTON, DISTRICT COLUMBIA.

COMBINED SASH AND BELT.,

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 435357, date& August 26, 1890.

Application filed June 13,

To all whom it may concem:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. TEL, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Washington, in the District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sash-Belts, of which the following is a specification.

It is the object of my invention to provide a sash-belt or combined sash and belt which will not only present the usual ornamental dress appearance, but will also serve the useful purpose of supporting the trousers.

My object is also to provide such a combination of sash and belt as will permit the independent adjustment of the sash under all circumstances, such adj ustment being especially desirable when the belt is tightened to support the trousers, so that the sash will neither be drawn upon and caused to assume a rolled or stringy appearance nor be'caused to bulge.

A further object is to permit the easy detachment and replacementof the sash andbelt.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a rear elevation of the sash-belt. Fig. 2 is an edge sectional View Fig. 3, a detail of the clasp at the end of the belt, Fig. 4: illustrates the method of forming the sash-belt by threadin g the end of the sash through the clasp. Fig. 5 is a detail view of amodified mannerof attaching the belt to its clasp.

In the drawings, A is the belt having the hooks and eyes l 2, and adjustable in the ordinary manner at 3. The two parts of the clasp -are shown at B O, the former having a hook and the latter a slot adapted to receive the same. The ends of the belt have the parts of the clasp thereon, said ends being passed through elongated slots in the grips b c, which are pivoted in ears 4 of the clasp-plates. The tension on the belt pulls upon the pivoted grips and keeps them in the position shown' in Figs. 1 and 2, with their gripping-edges against or near the inner surface of the clasp vplates. The sash-belt is completed by passing the ends of the sash between the pivoted grips and the clasp-plates, and, as shown in Fig. 2, the said sash will be held by the grips engaging therewith. It will be seen that the entire middle portions of the sash and belt between the clasps are completely free from each other, and when the belt is adjusted the 1890. Soria1Nt.355,286 (Nomodeh) effected to sustain the trousers without draw- I ing the sash into a string or making it bulge. In combining the sash with the belt difficulty has been experienced in inserting the sash ends through the parts of the clasp by reason of the softness and width of the material and the fringe upon' the end thereof, and in order to overcome this difficulty I fold the end of the sash to make a substantially pointed end, and this is then sheathed by a threading sheath D, having a pointed end and being of suflicient width to pass easily through the clasp between the grip and the plate. The sheath is made, preferably, of flexible material and is threaded partially through the clasp first. Then the rear part of the sheath is opened by separating the folds 5 6, and the folded end of the sash is placed within the same, and the folds 5 and 6 returned to completely inclose the sash ends. The clasp is then simply slid along the sheath onto the sash end and the sheath drawn off. By this means the sash can be readily placed, and it will be obvious that the sash may be removed by simply drawing it through the clasp. Instead of attaching the belt to the clasp by passing its ends through slots in the grips, the

said grips may be formed with loops, as in 4 Fig. 5, to which the belt ends are attached.

It will be noticed that the belt is made in two parts A' A connected by the hooks and eyes l 2, and by reason of this the usefulness of the invention is increased, for should it be desired to use the sash-belt upon trousers provided with belt loops, as with tennis-pants, it can be readily done by separating the parts at the hook and slipping them through the loops without detaching the sash from the belt, the parts A' and A being hooked together again and properly adjusted after passing through the loops.

I claim l. A combined sash and belt consisting of a belt, a two part clasp, each part having a grip, the ends of the belt being Secured to the grips of the clasp, and a sash having its free ends held adj ustably by the grips, substan= tially as described.
