APPLiOATION FILED MAY 16, 1968.

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

vINoENT PRICE, or NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR To CHRISTINA J. HIGLEY, or

HOSE -SU.'PPORTER.

Patented Nov. 24, 1908.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, VINCENT PRIoE, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hose-Supporters, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to improvements in hose supporters and the like. i

The object of the invention is to provide a simple and effective bow attachment, and to give to the article a handsome and attractive appearance, the construction being such that substantial economies are attained. It is very desirable in articles of this type made in fancy form, to decorate the buckle portion with a bow, and in the great quantities in which these articles are made very much ribbon is consumed'in the forming of the bow.

- The object of this invention is to. provide a construction which will save substantially in the length of ribbon required, and at the same time make it possible to apply the bow to the ordinary form of buckle w1th but very slight change and at a minimum cost.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a front elevation of a portion of a hose supporter, with my invention applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a similar view 0 the buckle and bow portion, the lever of the buckle being open and turned up to expose the rear side of the'bow. Fig. 3 is a detail of the buckle, detached. Fig. 4 is an end view of another detail.

111 represent the webbing ortions of the hose supporter. A part of this webbing runs through a frame 2 of the buckle.

3 is a swinging lever carried by the buckle frame 2, by which the webbing is locked in an adjusted position, the buckle being capable of traveling thereon when the lever is in its inoperative position.

4.4 are perforations in the face of the lever.

5 is a secondary face plate arranged to be detachably connected with the face plate of the lever 3. One convenientmeans for attaching the secondary faceplate 5 to the member 3 comprises tangs 6-6, which, in the preferred form, are pointed so as to pass easily through the perforations IT-4c, whereto attaching the secondary face plate.

upon they may be bent down at the rear, as

shown in Fig. 2.

7 is a bow or imitation thereof. Whereas the ordinary bow includes a knotted center portion, this bow is formed merely by foldingthe ribbon upon itself, as best seen in Fig. 1, and pinching it together, as shown in said view, so as to come within the embrace of the prongs 66 to the rear of the secondary face plate 5. This is done prlipr 'y now attaching said face plate to the lever 3, the imitation bow 7 is securely held in place. The secondary plate is preferably formed by punching in such manner that any bur raised by said punching process will be formed at the rear side. This bur, however slight is availed of to frictionally engage the fabric of the imitation bow and prevent its-being displaced longitudinally. At the same time, this process of forming the secondary face plate 5 gives a rounded or finished appearance to the obverse side.

The secondary face plate may be made of any suitable design, but preferably is of substantial area from side to side, such as would be furnished by a circular plate, as shown, thereby taking the place of the ordinary knot found in the usual bow construction. Obviously it is immaterial how the imitation bow is formed, whether of doubled ribbon or of a single length, the same being effectively held equally well.

What I claim is:

In a garment supporter, a buckle including a main face plate, a secondary face plate of smaller dimensions than the main face plate, two rearwardly projecting fastening devices on said secondary face plate arranged to bedetachably engaged with said main face plate, said projections being arranged one above the other, a transversely arranged bow of material of greater width thanthe space between said projections, an intermediate portion of said bow being pinched or contracted and arranged and held in saidpinched and contracted position by said rearwardly extending projections.
