MOSES H. EISEMAN, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

HOSE-SUPPORTER.

SEEGIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 715,566, dated December 9, 1902.

Application filed August 15, 1901. $erial No. 72.141., (No model.)

To aZZ 'whom, zit may concern:

Be it known that I, Mosns H. EISEMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ohicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hose-Supporters, of which the following, when taken in connection with the drawings accompanying and forming a part hereof, is a full and complete description snfficient to enable those skilled in the art to which it pertains to understand, make, and use the same.

This invention relates to hose-supporters designed to depend from a pad or belt and to be detachably secured to the hose.

The object of this invention is to obtain a hose-supporter which may be easily and quickly attached to the hose, and in which the strain on the parts attached to the hose shall be uniform and equal, and to obtain a hose-supporter of the kind named which will be pleasing in appearance and economical in construction.

In the drawings referred to Figure 1 is a front elevation of a hose-supporter embodying my invention, and Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof.

A reference-letter applied to designate a given part is used to indicate such part throughout both figures of the drawings wherever the same appears.

E is a strap or elastic which is passed over bar f of the compound-bar piece F. Strap E is attached at its upper end to any suitable article worn by the person using the hosesupporter.

F is a compound-bar piece comprising the loops f f and f connected together by clamps f f The bar-piece may be made of a single piece of metal, if preferred.

J J are metal loops attached to the ends of elastics H II, respectively, and L L are additional straps of non-elastic material attached to itraps H H, respectively, as by stitching at I I are buttons which are respectively attached to straps L L. p

The metal loops not being elastic the straps L L are made of non-elastic material to correspond therewith, such straps L L forming a continuation of the elastic straps H H, say

from point Z tothe point where the button I is attached thereto.

Strap H passes over thelower bar of the loop f and strapH passes over the lower bar of loop f in the same direction as that in which strap H passes over the bar of loop 1, and the end of strap H is attached to the strap H, as by stitching. The end of the strap H is attached, asby stitching, to the strap H.

When attached as described, buttons I I and loops J J on the ends of straps H H may be raised and lowered relative to each other, such straps H H drawing over or sliding upon the bars of loops and f respectively, of the compound-bar piece F.

To use the hose-supporter, the buttons I I and loops J J are attached to the hose of the wearer in the ordinary manner of attaching such buttons and loops, (the same forming an element in my invention; but the construction of such buttons and loops, as well as the construction of the compound bar, forming no part of the invention,) and the strap E is attached to a belt or pad by any preferred means.

Having thus described my invention and the construction of a device embodying the same, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a hose-supporter, the combination of a compound-bar piece, buttons, metal loops corresponding to the buttons, elastic straps, nonelastic straps connecting the buttons to the elastic straps, such elastic straps extending beyond the junction thereof with the nonelastic straps to the metal loops, to obtain a short section of the fabric of the elastic strap between the metal loop and the load-bearing portion of such elastic strap, a connection between the metal loops and the ends of the elastic straps, such elastic straps arranged'to connect the buttons and the loops to'the compound-bar piece and to each other in a manner to equalize the load attached to the buttons and carried by the elastic strap; substantially as described.
