BELT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 701,141, dated May 27, 1902.
Application filed September 5, 1901. Serial No. 74,453. (No model.)
To all whom 625 may concern.-
Be it known that I, FRANCIS W. BROWN, a citizen of the United States, residing at C0- hoes, in the county of Albany and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Belts; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention has for its object to construct a belt adapted to conform to the body of the wearer and remain securely in position. This I accomplish by the means illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a ladys belt embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of thesame.
As illustrated in the drawings, A represents a belt having one end provided with a buckle B and loop C and the opposite end provided with perforations a, adapted to engage with the tongue of said buckle. The belt is curved transversely, making it concavo-convex in cross-section. I prefer to reduce said transverse curvature toward the ends of the belt, making said ends substantially straight transversely. Those portions of the belt between the center and the ends which bear against the sides of the wearer extend downwardly and outwardly from the upper edge of the belt, so that the distance between the upper edge of such portions of the belt measured on the line 1 1 is shorter than the corresponding distance between the same portions of the lower edge of the belt measured on the line 2 2. The width of the belt may be made uniform throughout, or the upper edge of the belt may incline upward from the side portions to the central portion of the belt, making the belt wider at the back than at the side portions. I prefer to make the lower edge of the belt, however, so as to lie in ahorizontal plane. By means of such construction the belt fits closely yet comfortably to the waist of the wearer and remains securely in place, so as to cover the junction of the waist and skirt. This is accomplished by the side portions of the belt extending downward and outward from the upper edge of the belt. Any tendency of the belt to slide upward is prevented by the upper edge of the belt at such portions, which is inclined inward and presses firmly toward the body and prevents an upward movement of the belt, whereas if the belt was curved transversely equally above and below a central longitudinal line it Would have a tendency to slide upward out of place, so as to disclose the junction of the waist with the skirt.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A belt having a transverse curvature which at the portions between the center and ends of the belt extends downwardly and outwardly from the upper edge of said belt, substantially as shown and described.
2. A belt havingatransverse curvature torminating in straight ends, said curvature at the portions of the belt between the center and ends extending downward and outward from the upper edge of the belt, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
FRANCIS \V. BROWN.
