ERNEST OLDENBUSOH, OF HOBOKEN, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR TO KRON- HEIMER & OLDENBUSOH COMPANY, A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK.

LADYS BELT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 697,873, dated April 15, 1902.

Application filed January 15, 1902. Serial 3 4 (N0 model-3 To all whom, it may concern:

Beit known that I, ERNEST OLDENBUSCH, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Hoboken, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ladies Belts, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in ladies belts; and the object of my invention is to provide a device of neat and attractive appearance which when worn by ladies will give the long-waist effect now much desired and keep the dress in position. I attain this object by the device shown in the accom pan ying drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of my improved belt complete. Fig. 2 is a side view of the back plate with the belt removed. i

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

Upon the reverse side of a flat back bar a I form two eyelets l) 0 near the upper end a, and on the face of the back bar a, near the lower end a I form an eyelet h. A belt f of any desired material is passed through the eyelet h, and secondary belts e e are passed through and attached to the eyelets b 0 near the upper end ct of the bar a. The bar a is then placed at the back of the wearer with the belt fat the waist-line. The beltfand secondary belt dare passed around the wearer to the front, where the free ends of the belt f and secondary belt 6 e are brought together and held by the clasp (Z. The bar a, designed to be worn at the back, is preferably bent to conform to the back of the body at the waist, as shown in Fig. 2. I find it preferable to form the eyelets b c, as shown, on the reverse side of the bar a, as they are thus concealed from View; but their position may be changed without departing from the spirit of my invention. The bar a may be ornamented as desired.

I have shown the bar a of an ornamental design; but this bar may be of any design or pattern. It should conform vertically to the shape of the body, as shown in Fig. 2.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is v V 1. In a device of the character described, a back bar provided with an eyelet near the lower end thereof, a belt threaded through such eyelet, an eyelet near the upper end of the back bar, and having a belt therein, and means for connecting the free ends of the belts, substantially as shown and described.

2. In a device of the character described, a back bar provided with three eyelets, one of such eyelets being placed near the lower end of such back bar and two of such eyelets being placed near the upper end of such back bar, a belt in the lower eyelet and another belt in the upper eyelet and. means for holding together the free ends of the said belts, substantially as shown and described.

3. In a device of the character described, a back bar a provided with an eyelet h, a belt f therein, a secondary belt 6 above the belt f, means for holding the belts e and fapart at the back of the wearer,and means for connecting the ends of the belts, substantially as shown and described.

Signed at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, this 13th day of January, A. D. 1902.

ERNEST OLDENBUSOH.
