The bandage comprises upper and longitudinally curved straps .1, 2 having their ends converging and united, as at 3,

and their inner intermediate portions-sepa-- rated to pjrovidean, opening i. By con structing t longer and ower strap 2 will engage the bottom of the chin and the shorter and upperstrap 1 the tront of the chin, while thev or point of the chinwill be disposed in the opening 4:.- 'lhe lower strap 2 is comparatively broad and its front edge is ex-,..

tended at its center to provide a-v-shaped projecting portion 5; so that the fleshy art of the chin will be effectively supporte b the bandage. The upper stra l is of sue width that it i 'll support the esh upon the front of the chin and at the sides-of thev mouth and thus prevent the formation of mouth lines, and at the center of its bottom edge is formed a ii-shaped notch d'which receives the lowerend or point of the chin' and permits the upper strap to more'efi'ectively accomplish its intended purpose. The

ends 3 of'thebandage are formed with ill-- wardly extending \l; sh aped notches 7- to receive the ears and to provide projecting arms or end portions 8 which pro ect-above and below the ears and have attachedto sea inceeiea or was Patent. Applloatibzi filed- 121110111907- seen it; 376,800;
