M N 0. 901 ,426. Specifioation of Letters latent. Patented Dnt'HO, 1908. Application filed December 26, 1907. Serial No. 408,163.

To all whom it may concern- Be it known that I, JOHN R zen of the'United States, residing at Girarcl, in the county of Erie and Stateof Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Im-v provements in Stays for Garments and the ike of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to stays for garments and the like, and consists in certain improvements in the construction thereof as will be hereinafter fully described and rial 8, preferably rubber, completely fills thev interstices formed b the wire, and also completely covers the wire, so as to form the surface of the stay. It is also preferably prongs 10 extending rom it. These pron s are arranged over a wire of the frame wori, and passed through a plate 11 and clenched In this as in the fastening, device shown in Fi 1 the fastening of the device is prefer- 1y completely covered by'the plastic materia other especially at the edges. This bein so weak for the urpose. Among these uses in dhsirable that the stay should have edgewise strength is that in which the ith such a use, if the stay does not have edgewise strength, the garment between the fastenin devices is apt to open.

By filing the wire frame work forming the spring wire stay with a plastic material preferably elastic, the stay is given edg 'each figure and overlap in" at the opposite side. By lbcking the coils a? theleft against left, the s ay may be stiffened by locking one 0 ft may be accomplished in Various ways. It will be noted that the plastic material accomplishes the locking of the coils at the left as well as at other parts of the stay.

at I claim as new is:

a similar stay wit companion fastening devices secured thereto. Fig. 3 a section on the line 3-3 in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 a section on, the line 4-4 in Fig. 2.

The parts marked 1 and 3 shows the wire frame work covered and filled with a plastic material.

The part marked 2 shows the spring wire of the frame work with the plastic material removed. 7

One fastening device is formed of the plate 4 in which is arranged a key hole slot 5, the key hole slot 5 being at one side of the stay. The plate 4: is secured to the stay V means of the split rivets/I, these rivets extending through the plate 4, and'having their ends clenched on the wires forming the body of the frame work.
