PATENT ALBERT A. WVATTS, OF OSKALOOSA, IOWA.
SKlRT-SUPPORTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 579,505, dated March 23, 1897. Application filed April 10, 1896. Serial No. 587,007. (No mocleL) 10 aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALBERT A. WATTS, a
citizen of the United States, residing at Oskaloosa, in the county of Mahaska and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Skirt- Supporter, of which the following is a specification.
The purpose of this invention is to prevent the sagging and dragging of ladies and misses skirts in the rear, as'too frequently is the case, thereby giving an untidy appearance to the person and an ill-looking fit to the skirt.
This invention aims to obviate the objections resulting from sagging skirt-sand to provide a simple and effective supporter which can be detached and used in connection with different skirts.
For a full understanding of the merits and advantages of the invention reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings and the following description.
The improvement is susceptible of various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof, and to a full disclosure of theinventiou an adaptation thereof is shown in the accompanying drawings, in Which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the upper portion of a ladys skirt, showing the supporter applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a detail view of the supporter.
The supporter comprises, essentially, a waistband-strap 1, having buttons 2 at its ends, stay-straps 3, having buttonholes at their lower ends to receive the buttons 2, and hooks 4 at the upper ends of the stay-straps to engage with the corset or other convenient portion of the wearing-apparel, which will afford a firm attachment and means of support for the appliance. The straps 1 and 3 will be of webbing,such as generally employed in constructing suspenders, garment-supporters, and like articles, and may be elastic or nonelastic, as required. The waistband-strap 1 will be about three inches in length, and the buttons 2 will be riveted or otherwise secured thereto, and this strap is designed to be stitched or attached in any convenient way to the waistband of the skirt to which the supporter is to be applied.
The straps 3 will be about four inches long and cross between their ends and are engaged at the point of crossing by a loop or buckle 5,
through which the straps loosely pass. The
strap 3 passes and is secured by stitching or in any of the usual ways. These hooks are designed to'engage with eyelets of a corset, whereby a firm connection is had. By having the stay-straps detachably connected with the waistband-strap they can be used in connection with diiferent skirts without requiring stay-straps for each skirt, and the waistband of a skirt may have buttons applied to the rear portion to be engaged with the buttonholes 6 at the lower ends of the stay-straps, or a strap 1 may be provided and attached to each skirt, as shown. It is preferred to provide a strap, as 1, since the buttons 2 can be riveted or otherwise securely applied thereto at the factory and the strap can be stitched to the waistband with the assurance that the buttons will not be Wrenched from their fastenings when the device is in use.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is- The herein'described means for preventing ladies and misses skirts from sagging in the rear, consisting of a short strap secured to the rear portion of the waistband of the skirt and having buttons at its ends, stay-straps crossing between their ends and having buttonholes at their lower terminals to receive the buttons of the Waistband-strap, metal hooks at the upper ends of the stay-straps to engage with the corset or other convenient garment,
and tapering throughout their length and having a transverse slot at one end, and a loop at the point of crossing of the stay-straps, substantially as described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
ALBERT A. WATTS.
