SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 53,74?. dated .ruly 17, 1966. Application tiled December 8, 1899. Serial No. 739,632. (No model.)
T0 all whom, it may concer-rt:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH D. LEWIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Paul, in the county of Ramsey and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment Supporters, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in garment-supporters, and has for its object to provide a flat supporter which can be easily adjusted to the garment and which will hld it securely without tearing the fabric of which it is composed. I accomplish this object by constructing the supporter with two jaws pivotally connected together and provided with a spring connection, whereby they are interlocked when closed to bite orgrip the garment.
In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figures l and 2 are perspective and plan views, respectively,of my preferred construction. Fig. 3 is a plan view of a modified form. Fig. 4 is a section on line .fr a: of Fig. 3 on an enlarged scale. Fig. 5 is a plan View ofa second modification, and Fig. 6 is a section on lineyy of Fig. 5 on an enlarged scale. t
As shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings, the supporter or grip consists of a skeleton frame 2, within which is pivoted at 3 a solid flat bar-lever 4. The lower end of the bar 4 is formed with a jaw 5, which works in coperation with the enlarged end 6 of the skeleton frame to constitute gripping-jaws. The bar is formed upon its sides with projections 7, which fit into recesses 8 upon the inner sides of the skeleton frame to lock the bar in alinement with the frame, as shown in Fig. 2, the upper end of the bar constituting a linger-piece to allow the bar to be easily turned into and out of the locked position. (Shown in Fig. 2.) The upper end of the skeleton frame is formed with an eye 9 for attachment to the garter or garment l0 with which it may be desired to use the grip.
In the construction shown in Figs. 3 and 4 the bar extends upwardly beyond the skeleton frame and is formed at its upper end with an eye ll to receive the supporting garter or garment. In this form the sides of the skeleton frame are connected at the top by an outwardly-curved cross-piece or yoke 12 and are formed with projections 13, adapted to t into In the modifican@ 110mm Fig-a 5f mide the u pwardlyprojecting sides ofthe skeleton frame are unconnected and are formed eacli with an eye l7to receive the garter-bands.' The upper part of the bar-lever is formed with laterally-extending arms 16, having inl' wardly-turned ends adapted to bear against the sides of the frame and be held in locking engagement therewith by the resiliency of either frame or arms, or both. In order to increase the locking effect, the sides of the frame are preferably concaved and the arms 16 convexed to fit therein, as shown in Fig. 6.
It will be evident that the principle of construction in all the forms shown is the same. Each comprises a skeleton frame and a flat pivotally-supported bar. One end of the bar is formed with a jaw cooperating with the frame to constitute male and female grippingjaws, and the jaws are held in gripping position by the interlocking of the bar and skeleton frame. The device is designed for use in connection with garters and garments to support stockings and for similar purposes.
It is obvious that other modifcationsthan those shown may he constructed within the scope of my invention. I
I claiml. In a garment-supporter of the class described, the combination of a skeleton frame, and a flat bar-lever pivotallysupported therein, one end of said bar cooperating with the frame to serve. as a gripping-jaw, said bar automatically interlocking with the frame to hold the jaw in gripping position, the bar, when in locking position, lying in the plane of the frame.
2. A garment-supporter of the class described, comprising a skeleton frame, and a fiat bar pivotally supported therein, one end of said bar cooperating with the frame to constitute gripping-jaws, said bar engaging the frame with spring-pressure to hold the jaws in locking position, the bar, when in locking position, lying in the plane of the frame.
3. A garment-supporter of the class described, comprising a skeleton frame and a bar-lever pivotally supported therein, one
ICO
end of the bar coperating with the frame to constitute a gripping-jaw, said bar automatically interlocking with the frame to hold the jaw in gripping position, and being adapted to be turned upon its pivot to throw the jaw outward in either direction.
4. A garment supporter of the class described, comprising a skeleton frame and a bar-lever pivotally supported therein, the bar at one end coperating with the frame to constitute a gripping-jaw and at the other end automatically interlocking` the frame to hold the jaw in gripping position, and being adapted to be turned on its pivot to throw the jaw outward in either direction.
5. A garment-supporter of the class described, comprising a skeleton frame and a iiat bar pivotally supported therein said bar being provided at one end with a jaw coperating with the frame to serve as a grip the other end of said bar being adapted to engage the sides of the frame and be held in locking connection therewith.
` 6. A garment-supporter of the class described, consisting of a skeleton frame and a 7. A garment-supporter, consisting of jaws formed by a lever pivoted in a frame, said frame being adapted by means of recesses therein to interlock with the lever, and by means of an eye to be suspended from a band.
8. A garment-supporter consisting of a bar lever pivoted in a frame, said members forming jaws adapted to engage the garment, and an interlocking device formed bya concavity in one member and a convexity in the other, operated by the resiliency of one ofthe members.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presenceof two witnesses.
JOSEPH D. LEWIS.
