DAVID BASOH, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

GARME T-RETAINING DEVICE.

In all whom it may concern:

' zentof the United States of America, and a residentuof New York city, county, and State, .-have invented certain'new and useful improvements in a Garment-Retaining Device, "offwhicli the following is a specificatiomrefqeren'ce being bad to the accompanying draw- Rings, forming a part thereof.

nMy invention relates'to .im rovements in a garment retaining device, an particularly'to an improved waist band designed-for the .prhpose'ofkeeping a dress waist in position. it l\' y invention comprises a friction member anged to be disposed at the back'of the person wearingthe article, an elastic member, connected thereto and forming a continuation thereof, for com )letely encircling the waist, said friction and elastic members together acting to cling to the lower portion of the dress waist so to hold the same from riding up, and a non-elastic member arranged to be secured firmly around the waist of the person, said non-elastic member being designed for the purpose of holding the clastic and friction members in place upon the wearer.

My invention also consists in certain novel features of construction, particularly in con nection with the friction member, and to certain novel combinations of parts as will hereinafter be fully set forth, and, in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, bodiment thereof, having reference to the ac companying drawings illustrating the same, andwill then point out the novel features in 'claims- In the drawings: Figure 1 is a, View in perspective of a waist band embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is'a viewshowing the same H cient of friction, or it citrtogether when the band is 'The member 16 is preferab y in the form of a will now proceed to describean em-.

may be of hard rubber, metal, celluloid, or indeed anydesired 'material. In Fig. 4 is shown the preferred construction wheret-he material of which the said member is composed is metal, celluloid or the like. Where soft subber is eminforced with meta lic end pieces 12, such metallic end pieces being suitably secured to-- the rubber as by eyelets 13, orotherwise, and

the said metallic end pieces may furtberbe connected together by means of a band 14 constructed integrally therewith, as is shown in F ig. 3. The said metallic end pieces are provided with slots "23 for .t-he reception of elastic straps 15,'and alsofor th'ereception of the non-elastic member '16. The bands 15 are preferably loo ed throu h the said slots 23, being provide well understood. At their extremities the said bands are provided with suitable fastening or attaching devices, such as books 18 and eyes 19, by which they may be connected placed in position.

sim le tape which is threaded through the sair slots 23, thecentral portion of the tape passing to the rear of the friction member, all as will be quite clear by reference to Fig. 1 of the drawings. .The inner walls of the slot 13 may conveniently be toothed, as shown at 20, in order to prevent the tape or band 16 from slip ing.

In employing the device, the friction member 10 is first secured in position at the back of the wearer by means of the ta e 16 which is broughtround to the front 0 the'wearer and tied tightly. The elastic straps 15 are then adjusted to the proper length in accordance with the size of the wearers waist, and are then fastened together in front by means of the securing devices, the said straps being caused to be under a certain amount of tension. The friction member 10 will hold the dress waist firmly from movement either up or-down or sidewise,'while the elastic mem ber comprising the straps 15, clingin as it r with bucliles 17 by which theirjlengths may be adjusted, as will be will close to the body, will have the ed'ect of i comprising a friction member, an elastic'belt straps secured to opposite ends of the friction members cling to the garment, while the nonelastic member holds-the other members securely in position.

7 It will of course be understood that the construction, form and shape of the friction member may be considerably varied. The fragmentary view Fig. 5 shows a form in which the \member as a whole is of flexible rubber, a slot 21 being provided in the rubber itself, such slot corresponding to the slots 23; of the other figures, an eyelet reinforcement 22 being provided to prevent the goods from tearing away under strain. I

What I claim is:

1. A device of the character described forming a continuation thereof, and a nonelasticv band for securing said friction member and belt firmly in position upon the wearer. l r

- 2. A device of the character described comprising a friction member having a number of inwardly facing projections, elastic...

member 'and having devices by which they may be secured together at their ends, and a non-elastic belt also connected with said friction member.

3. A device of v the" character described comprising a friction member provided "at its30 said slots, the central portion of said belt 7 being arranged totherear of said friction member. t I 4. A device ;ot' the. character described comprising a friction memberhaving a plu-' rahty of nwardly facmg pro ect1ons, and

provided at --its opposite ends with transverse slots, adjustable elastic straps loo .ed through the said slots, and provided at t 'el ir outer ends with devices by which they may be secured together, and a non elastic ta e threaded through the said slot-s, the mid 1e portion of the tape passing to the rear of said friction member, and the ends being left free, substantially as set forth. r
