Specification of Letters Patent.
Paeentednec. 15, 1908.
Application filed November 29, 1907. Serial No. 404,408.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, J onN F. PETERSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cambridge, Boston Station, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Belt, of which the following is a speciication.
This invention relates to a waist belt; and has for its object to provide a simple, strong and useful article of this kind made of a plurality of at spring sections in the same plane, with their adjacent edges connected y a non resilient lacing. To further strengthen the belt and prevent its being stretched to such an extent as to weaken or destroy thesprings, lacings are loosely threaded in the outer margins of the belt and at intermediate points.
To more fully understand the invention, attention is directed to the following detailed description and appended claim; reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a face view of a portion of the improved belt; Fig. 2 is an edge view; Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view on the line 3 3; and Fig. 4 is a similar view on the line 4-4.
Similar reference numerals are used for the same parts in all the figures.
In the drawing the belt is represented as made of two flat peculiarly formed springs 1 and 2 lying in the same plane and close together, their adjacent edges being connected together by a lacing 5 of any suitable non-elastic material, such, for instance, as cord, ribbon, tape or the like.
Each spring is preferably as long as the` belt, but it may consist of a section inserted at the middle or at each end of the belt if so desired. lThe spring is made of a single strand of any suitable elastic Wire extending back and forth transversely from edge to edge of the spring and having small coils 3 of two or more turns formed in the wire at each of said edges. The transverse connecting parts 4 are, from choice, straight and cross one another at points near the coils as shown, said coils being parallel to one another and angularly disposed to the plane of the spring.
For the purpose of uniting the springs to form a belt of suitable width, the spring sections are placed flatwise with their edges close together in such position that the adjacent coils of each two sections are in staggered relation to one another, after which a suitable non-elastic lacing 5 is threaded alternately through the adjacent coils, see Fig. 3, su'Hiciently loose to permit the coils to separate a little when the belt is placed under tension. A non-elastic lacing 6 is also threaded through the marginal coils of the upper and lower s ring sections, each lacing passing through t e coils in succession from opposite sides of the belt, as represented in Figs. 1 and 2, to limit the elongation of the upper and lower edges of the belt.
etween the intersections of the straight connecting parts of the wire which are near the op oslte coils is intertwined another inelastic imiting lacing 7 for the purpose of reinforcing the lacings 5 and 6 and serving as a substitute for them should either or both be broken, they being subject to wear due to the movement of the coils by expansion and contraction of the belt. The intermediate lacing 7 is wound around each connectin part 4, as shown in Figs. 1 and 4, and eX ose to little friction and is, therefore, less iable to wear.
A belt, constructed as above described, forms a strong elastic belt which, among other uses, is to be worn about the waist to support the trousers. It can be made quite ornamental by using brass, bronze, or plated wire combined with lacings of various widths and colors. The resilient portion of the belt being made of metal springs limited in their degree of extension by non-elastic material, the belt always retains its full elasticity the yielding quality of which depends on the material com osing the wire and its gage. If a wider be t is desired additional s ring sections may be added or the sections t 1emselves increased in width.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters-Patent is A belt comprising a lurality of substantially flat springs, each) spring made of a single strand of elastic wire bent back and forth to form marginal coils and straight connecting parts intersecting near said marginal coils, each of said springs having one of its marginal series of coils in close proximity to a marginal series of coils of another spring, said proximate marginal coils being in staggered relation f elastic imiting lacing threaded alternately one another, a non- 2 scesa? throu h the adjacent coils of the two springs, In testimony that I claim the foregoing as a simllar lacing threaded through the marmy own, I'have hereto aiiixed my signature ginal coils ofthe belt in succession from op-l in the presence of two witnesses. posite sides, and a limiting lacing inter- JOHN F.
