SUSPENDEHS FOR WEARING-APPAREL.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented March 5, 1907.

Application filed January 3,1905. Serial No. 239,475.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, ALFRED WEINTRAUD, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at 1, 2, and 3 Cripplegate Buildings, Wood street, London, England, have invented cer tain new and useful Improvements in Suspenders for Wearing-Apparel, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide suspenders, braces, and the like with means or attachments for connecting and supporting drawers or other articles of wearing-apparel in correct position on the person, these connecting and supporting means being in addition to the usual tabs and button holes by Which the trousers or other garments are ordinarily supported, so that by the use of my invention trousers and drawers may both be supported in their correct positions, re spectively, by the same suspenders or braces and independently of each other.

The annexed drawings show three examples of carrying my invention into effect.

Figures 1, 2, and 3 are front, side, and back views, respectively, of a portion of a tab of wearing-apparel suspenders with the attachments for connecting and supporting the drawers in the form of a metal plate and clamped to the tab. Figs. 4:, 5, and 6 are front, side, and back views, respectively, of a portion of a tab of wearing-apparel suspenders formed from leather, the attachment for connecting and supporting the drawers being formed from a metal plate riveted to the tab. Fig. 7 is a view of one end of a suspender with the tabs thereof connected to the trousers, also showing the connecting and supporting means in accordance with this invention secured to the tabs and suspending the garment. Fig. 8 is a view similar to Fig. 7 with the trousers removed.

The connecting and supporting means for garments in accordance with this invention and as shown in Figs. 1 to 3 consists of a metal plate having a body portion A, which is clamped to the outer face of a suspenderstab B by a pair of ears A, forming a part of said connecting and supporting means and which are clamped around the said tab B. The body portion A of the connecting and supporting means at its top is inturned so as to form at the upper end of the inner face of said means a bead A which constitutes an abutment or stop to prevent the accidental dislodgment of the tapes D of the garment. The top edge of the arms A of the said connecting and supporting means A constitutes supports for the tapes D, while the top A and body portion A forms a connecting means for the tapes D.

In Figs. 4, 5, and 6 of the drawings a modified form of connecting and supporting means is shown and which consists of a metal plate having its lower portion A secured to the outer face of the tab B by a rivet A. The upper portion of the plate is offset, as at A and the top of the offset portion A is inturned so as to form a bead A constituting the stop or abutment for the tab B.

The connecting and supporting means are connected or attached some distance above the ordinary but-tonhole portion E of the tabs B, preferably at about mid-length of the tabs B, so that when the usual tapes D are inserted between the tabs and the connecting and supporting means the top edge of the garment C is kept well up above the trousers F and give protection where most needed, the garment C lying close to the body without forming any creases, thus imparting a feeling of comfort to the wearer.

What I claim is 1. A suspenders-tab having a connecting and supporting device arranged against the outer face thereof and between the buttonhole at the outer end and the point of suspension of the tab, and a rivet extending through the lower portion of said means for fixedly securing the said means to the tab.

2. A suspenders-tab having a connecting and supporting means arranged against the outer face thereof, said means embodying a body portion having an inturned upper end forming a bead which constitutes a stop, and mians for securing the body portion to the ta 3. A suspenders-tab having a connecting and supporting means arranged against the outer face thereof, said means embodying a body portion having an inturned upper end forming a bead which constitutes a stop, and a rivet extending through the lower portion of said means for fixedly securing it to the tab.

4. A suspenders-tab having a combined connecting and supporting means arranged at the outer face thereof, said means consisti my hand in presence of two subscribing Witlng of a plate embodying a lower portlon and nesses.

for securing the said means to the tab. FRED. C. SMITH,
