WILLIAM T. JONES, OF ROSWELL, TERRITORY OF NEW MEXICO.
APRON.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 711,976, dated October 28, 1902,
Application filed October 25, 1901. Serial No. 79,979. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM T. JONES, a cititen of the United States, residing at .Roswell, in the county of Chaves and Territory of New Mexico, have invented a new and use ful Apron, of which the following is a specification. v
This invention relates to an improved apron for carpenters and other workmen or mechanics; and it consists in the construction and arrangement of devices hereinafter described and claimed.
One object of the invention is to provide an apron which is adapted to be readily adjusted to any position desired on the body of the wearer, which is adapted to fit persons of different sizes, and which will readily adj ustitself to any position assumed by the wearer while at work, thereby rendering it comfortable at all times.
A further object is to provide an apron of the class described with a pocket so arranged as to form a loop at the upper corner thereof to receive a tool or other object not in use for a few minutes, said loop being so disposed with relation to the strap connection to the body of the apron that the weight of the article placed in said loop will be supported by .the tension of the straps.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings represents a perspective view of an apron constructed in accordance with this invention, showing it secured on the body of a wearer. Fig. 2 represents a perspective View of the apron, taken from the rear thereof. Fig. 3 represents a detail elevation of a portion of the apron, showing the loop formed at'the upper corner of the pocket between it and the apron.
The same reference characters represent the same parts in all the figures.
The apron is preferably of the form here shown and may be made from any suitable material. This apron 1 has a bib 2, preferably formed integral therewith, at the upper end-thereof by cutting away the upper corners of the apron on rentrant curves, said cut-away portions providing spaces for fitting under the arms of the wearer and the bib 2 being adapted to extend up between the arms over the chest. The sides 3 of the apron are extended sufficiently to partially pass around the body of the wearer and areprovided near throughout their entire lengths, including the said extensions 6.
In the use of this apron the straps 5 are passed over the shoulders of the wearer, crossed on his back, and their extensions 6 passed through the eyelets 4, which form sliding connections between the rear upper corners of the apron and said straps, the straps being drawn as tightly as may be desired to secure the apron in the desired position on the body, and, the endsof the strapsbeing then secured together between the sides of the apron on theback of the wearer, as at 7.
Owing to the fact that the straps are adapted to slip freely through the engaging eyes 4.-, the apron will readily adjust itself to any position assumed by the wearer. Moreover, since the straps also connect the sides of the apron together they serve to draw the extended sidesof the apron about the body of the wearer under his arms and adapt it to fit persons of different sizes.
Pockets 8 and 9, which are preferably formed from the same piece of material, are secured on the-front of the apron and extend partially across the lower side thereof. At the upper outer corner of each of said pockets, between it and the apron and in a line approximately under the eyes 4, is formed a loop 1Q, the same being preferably formed by omitting the stitching at that point when securing the pocket on the apron. 'The' said loops are adapted to receive the handles. or projecting portions of tools-such as hammers, pliers, or other articles-which are passed through the loops and suspended from the upper corners of the pockets,'and the loops being disposed directly under the sliding connection of the straps with the apron the weight of the tool is borne by the tension of the straps, and thereby prevents sagging of the apron at this point. This is an important feature of the invention, as it relieves the apron from the strain of supporting the tool and causes it to be supported by the straps.
In the drawings an additional pocket 11 on the front side of the apron is shown disposed above the pocket 8 and secured in an inclined position.
I claim as my invention-- 1. An apron having sides to extend under the arms of a wearer, straps secured at one end to the upper end of the apron and adapted to be passed over the shoulders and be crossed on the back of the wearer, said sides having slidable connections at their upper corners with the straps, said straps being adapted to be connected together between said sides, and pockets on said apron having loops formed thereon under the slidable connections with the straps whereby the weight of the article placed in said loops is sustainedby the tension of the straps. 2. An apron having a bib and extende sides to pass under the arms of the wearer, straps secured each at one end to one corner of said bib and adapted to be passed over the shoulders and crossed on the back of the wearer, said extended sides having slidable connections at their upper corners with the straps, the latter being adapted to be connected between said sides, and tool-supporting devices on the extended sides under their slidable connections with the straps for the purpose set forth.
3. An apron having a bib and extended sides to pass under the arms of the wearer, straps secured each at one end to one corner of the bib and adapted to be passed over the shoulders of the wearer and crossed on the back, said extended sides having slidable connections at their upper corners with the straps, said straps being adapted to be connected together between said sides, and pockets on the front of said apron, open at their upper sides and having loops at their upper outer corners between them and the apron, the said corners of the pockets being disposed directly below the slidable connections with the straps, whereby the outer sides of the pockets are sustained by the tension of the straps.
4. An apron of the class described having pockets formed of the same piece of material and on the front side of the apron, said pockets being open at their upper sides and having loops formed at their upper, outer corners between them and the apron for the pn rpose set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
WILLIAM T. JONES.
