SUSPENDER ATTACHMENT.

SPECIFICATiON formingpart of Letters Patent No. 624,407, elated Maya, 1899.

Application filed May 1898. Serial No. 680,289. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE HALSEY TUT- HILL, of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and'Improved Suspender Attachment, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to an improvement in attachments for suspenders designed to hold the suspenders together and prevent them from sliding off the wearersshoulders and also to hold the necktie in place and to support the drawers.

The invention comprises the novel features of construction hereinafter described and claimed.

'Reference isto be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figures.

Figure lis a front view of the device, showing the same in use; and Fig. 2'is a front view of the device on a larger scale.

My device comprises three essential parts the cord F, the central plate A, and the clips G. These jclips areof any suitable construction and are provided with rollers g at the point where they embrace the cord, whereby the cord may move freely through the clips. The central plate A is provided with two eyes E and D upon one side edge thereof. Within the eye E is fixedly secured one end of the cord F, while through the other eyeD freely passes the opposite end of the cord. The length of the cord is adjusted by tying a knot in the free end or otherwise fixing it so that it will not pull through the eye. Upon one end edge of the plate A is a second eye 0, and upon the other side edge is another eye B. The cord passes freely through both of these eyes.

In using my device the two clips next to I the upper end of the plate are secured one upon each suspender and the lower clip to the upper portion of the drawers. The weight of the drawers serves'to pull the two upper clips a little toward the center, and thus to My device therefore contributes materially to the comfort of the wearer, holding the suspenders and the drawers in their proper position. j

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. An attachment for suspenders, comprising a cord or similar flexible member having a plurality of clips slidable thereon, and a edge, each of said latter eyes slidingly engaging the cord between the .clips, substantially as described.

3. An attachment for suspenders, comprising a cord or similar flexible member, three clips provided with rollers engaging said cord, and a central plate having two slidable connections with the central portion of the cord between the clips and fixedly connected with the ends of the cord.

4. An attachment for suspenders, comprising a cord or similar flexible member, a plate having two eyes slidably embracing the central portions of the cord, means for securing the ends of the cord to said plate, and three clips having sliding engagement with the cord and located one between each point of connection of the cord with the plate.

5. An attachment for suspenders, comprising a cord or similar flexible member, a'plate having two eyes slidingly embracing the central portion of the cord, a fixed connection for one end and an adjustable connection for the other end of the cord to the plate, and three clips having sliding engagement with the cord and located one between each point of connection of the cord with the plate.

GEORGE HALSEY TUTHILL.
