Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented April 17, 1906.
Application filed July 14, 1905- Serial No. 269,600.
To all 1071 0771, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, LORA BLANOHE LYoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, county of Wayne, State of Michigan, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Bust-Supporters and I 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 pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this s ecification,
This invention re ates to bust-supporters.
It has for its object an improved cincture provided with pockets which are adapted to fit closely over the breasts of the wearer with narrow binding-bands both above and below the pockets, which are extended at the sides of a narrow band that passes around the back.
In the drawings, Figure 1 shows the cincture in position. Fig. 2 shows one-half of the cincture on a larger scale than that in Fig. 1.
The entire structure consists of a narrow belt or band A, provided with shaped pockets which are formed into shape by darts 2, 3, 4, and 5. At each edge both above and below the pockets are bound with a firm edging 6 at the upper side and a firm edging 7 on the under side, and these edging-strips extend around the back and form the edgebinding for a back-band that is stiffened with material 9 10, stitched firmly to the band and extending from the binding 12, which is an extension of the binding 6 to the binding 13, which is an extension of the binding 7. This stiffening material is preferably of con vas stitched to the body of the belt, withlines of stitching that run across from one band to the other and which are nearly vertical with respect to the proper position of the belt on the wearer. The upper line of binding 12 along the back is longer than the lower line of binding 13, and when drawn around the wearer this upper line of binding is drawn closely against the under part of the shoulderblades or just under the shoulder-blades, and the lower line of binding draws closely against the person lower down on the taper of the body toward the waist-line and holds the garment from slipping either up or down.
Fastening means, preferably tape 15 and 16, are secured to the ends of the cincture at the front edge-binding 11 in position to draw along the edges of the binding 6 and 7 rather than over the pocket 8, and thus secures the belt to the person by drawing above and below the fullness of the breasts rather than across them, leaving the part of the garment which covers the fullness of the breasts loose, while each of the bands 6 and 7, because of the intervening material which forms the pocket 8, is held in position.
Of course buttons might be substituted for tapes; but the tapes are generally more satisfactory for this kind of garment than buttons.
When this garment is used by a person who is engaged in exercising, as when the person is engaged in outdoor sports or similar occupations which require considerable muscular action, some more positive method of holding the support in position may be necessary, and this may be done by shoulderstraps 20, as are indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 1.
What I claim is 1. A bust-supporting cincture, having in combinationbust-supporting pockets, a backband connecting the same, a continuous binding extending along the upper edge from end to end of the structure, a continuous binding extending along the lower edge from end to end thereof, independent fastening means whereby the top and bottom bindings may be independently strained, substantially as described,
2. A bust-supporting cincture, having in combinationbust-supporting pockets, a backband, stiffening material extending across the back-band from edge to edge thereof, a continuous binding extending along the upper edge of the entire cincture and a continuous binding extending along the lower edge of the entire cincture, and independent means whereby the upper and lower edges may be independently strained, substantially as described.
3. A bust-supporting cineture, having in binding at the lower edge, substantially as 10 combination, a back connecting-piece, stiffdescribed.
ening attachments transversethe said back- In testimony whereof I sign this specificapiece, bust-supporting pockets at the ends of tion in the presence of two witnesses. said back-piece and connected thereby, a LORA BLANOHE LYON binding at the upper edge of the cincture continuous from end to end thereof, a binding at Witnesses:
the lower edge of said cincture, the said bind- N ETTIE V. BELLEs, ing at the upper edge being longer than the MAY E, KoTT.
