DANIEL KOIPS, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
APPAREL-GORSET.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented J 11119 18, 1912. Application filed December 12, 1911'. Serial No. 665,305.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, DANIEL Kors, a citie zen of the United States, residing in the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Apparel-Corsets, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in apparel corsets, and particularly to the back of the corset, at the lower parts and lacing edges, with the object of stiffening the said edges to prevent the same buckling, and providing members extending into the corset halves having a firm bearing over and reducing function uponthe buttocks.
In carrying out my invention, the skirt-s at the back are more or less cut away from the lower edges upward, and from the lacing fabric strips toward the sides of the corset and one or more wide elastic fabric members are inserted. These elastic fabric members, along one end and at right angles to the line of tension, overlie and are sewed to the eyelet fabric parts, when placed, pass through both members. These fabric members, at their opposite ends, are secured to the skirts and in a seam or double part thereof and are preferably so arranged, that in their normal condition of disuse, the skirts and adjacent parts of the corset body are slightly loose or puckered, whereby when the elastic members are under tension in use, the fabric parts may draw t-aut.-
In the drawing, Figure 1 is an elevation of the under surface of the corset of my; invention, at the lower portion of the back and lacing edges, showing in each half a single piece of elastic webbing or fabric at the lower part. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the outer surface of the corset, at the back and lower portion of the lacing edges, in which I have shown ,two strips of elasticfabric at each side with the lower edge of the lower strip coming to the lower edge of the skirt of the corset.
In the drawings, similar letters and numerals of reference indicate the same parts.
and the eyelets,
'end of each elastic fabric member.
' a and-b are the fabric members of the corset at the back, and a b the skirts which extend from below the boning and to the lower edge of the corset.
a are the lacing fabric strips at the opposite edges; ol the boning; f the laces and 6 represents the eyelets.
2 represents the finished lower edge of the skirts.
Referring particularly to Fig. l, h and 71.1 represent the elastic fabric members, the lower edges of which come substantially on a line with the lower edges of the skirt portions a 6 Whether the device of my improvement is provided in each half of the corset with one or with two, or more, strips of elastic fabric or elastic fabric members, the lower edge 2 of each half of the corset, is cut upward from the lower edge of the skirts to almost the upper edge of the uppermost elastic fabric member at its union with the lacing fabric strips 0. These stiff fabric strips 0 extend the entire height of the corset and skirts at the back and where they project below the lower edge of the skirts, they are substantially free from sewed union with the fabric body of the corset and overlie and are sewed firmly to one end of each elastic fabric member. The distant and opposite end of each elastic fabric The distant and opposite end of each fabric member is sewed to the skirt, preferably in or to a seam or double part of the skirt, which preferably extends around the end of the elastic fabric member, so as to cover the same and is sewed down in place so as to make a neat finish. In Fig. 1, I have shown but one strip or member of elastic fabric in each half of the corset, for in the corset illustrated in this figure, there is not as great a depth of the skirt members as in the illustration Fig. 2. In all cases, however,
the elastic fabric members overlie, in part,
and co-act with, the skirts, only, of the corset, and I have shown in Fig. 1 parallel lines in series 8, 4, indicating that the corset skirts may be loose or puckered at these places, as
this construction is essential to provide for the stretch or elongation of the elastic fabric members in use.
It will be noticed from Fig. 2 that the skirt portions of the corset are very much longer than in Fig. 1. The parallel lines, in series, at 3, 4:, are represented the same as in the form of my invention shown in Fig. 1, as it is just as essential in the one form as in the other. Fig. 2 over and above Fig. 1 illustrates two other elastic fabric members 2' 2' which are above the elastic fabric members it 72, and double the depth of the elastic members for the performance of a reducing function. Like the elastic fabric members h h the elastic fabric members i 2' are similarly fastened and secured at the respective ends to the lacing fabric strips 0 at one end and the skirts of the corset at the other end, and while the upper edges of the elastic fabric members h if and the lower edges of the elastic fabric members i 2' come into a juxtaposed relation, they are not necessarily connected. However, to connect them will not depart from the nature or spirit of my invention. It will be noticed from Fig. 2 that the upwardly extending cut-away portions or edges 2 of the corset skirts are almost at right angles to the length of the members it h where they cross the same,
and that these skirt edges 2, with reference to the elastic fabric members z' i in Fig. 2 occupy substantially the same relation as they do with the elastic fabric members 72. 72, in Fig. 1. Therefore, the elastic fabric members it 7L in Fig. 2 are not overlaid, except at their extreme fastening ends, with any skirt part of the corset, while in Fig. 2 the elastic fabric members i 2' are in part, overlaid with the skirt portion provided with the looseness or puckers; thus the parallel elastic fabric members in Fig. 2 are entirely free to stretch or elongate under tension, and do this at places entirely below the more flexible body portion of the corset and below the boning. Furthermore, the attachment to the elastic fabric strips 0 of the elastic fabric members 72, hi or 7;. ]L1 with e i serve to so stiffen the lacing fabric strips that it is quite impossible for them to pucker in use, as is usually the casewhere said lacing fabric strips are unstifiened.
I have shown in Fig. 1 the elastic fabric members it h as composed throughout of elastic fabric of even character, and at theright hand of Fig. 2, I have shown the same condition of elastic fabric strips h and 2' but at the left hand of Fig. 2 I have shown the elastic fabric members it and i as if the same were formed with inelastic ends and with elastic parts between said ends. These inelastic parts being connected, or sewed to, the lacing fabric strip 0 at one end and to the skirt of the corset at the other end. These ends being additionally stifiened and strengthened because made inelastic.
From the foregoing description, it will be apparent that the device of Fig. l, or the form of my invention Fig. 2, both exhibit the same tensional function, but in modified degrees. Both forms possess the elastic quality under tension and the reducing function upon the buttocks under this tension. It is further quite apparent that this elastic function is mobile with the movements of the body, and because the corset of my improvement is long from the waist to the lower edge of the skirt, the same conforms to the figure, and fits snugly the curved contour of the figure and so tends the more effectually to reduce any over-development of thispart of the human figure. Furthermore, the presence of most corsets is visually apparent at the back by a line of demarcation, because the lower edge of the corset stands out, whereas wit-h the incurved lower edge of the corset of my improvement, no such visual condition is apparent and outer garments hang more gracefully.
I claim as my invention: a
- 1. In an apparel corset, the combination with the fabric body halves and the skirts, of lacing fabric members continued to the lower edge of theskirts, and the skirts at the back removed from the lower edge upward from each side of the lacing fabric members and forward toward the sides of the corset, and elastic fabric members inserted therein,
at one end connected to the lacing fabric members and at their other or opposite ends and at right angles to the line of tension connected to the skirts from their lower edges upward and at their upper edges appreciably overlying the skirts.
2. In an apparel corset, the combination wvith the fabric body halves and the skirts,
of lacing fabric members continued to the lower edges of the skirts, and the skirts at the back removed from the lower edge upward from each side of the lacing. fabric members and forward toward the sides of the corset, and elastic. fabric members inserted therein, at one end connected to the lacing fabric members and at the other or opposite ends secured to the skirts and the lower portions of the corset overlying and extending directly above the elastic fabric members formed loose so as to permit of the stretch or elongation of the elastic fabric members appreciably before the skirts are drawn taut.
3. In an apparel corset, the combination with the fabric body halves and the skirts, of lacing fabric members continued to the lower edge of the skirts, and the skirts at the back removed from the lower edge upward from each side of the lacing fabric members and forward toward the sides of the corset,
and elastic fabric members inserted therein, at one end connected to the lacing fabric members and at their other or opposite ends and at right angles to the line of tension connected to the skirts from their lower edges upward and at their upper edges appreciably overlying the skirts, and said elastic fabric members, where connected to the lacing fabric members, also overlying and DANIEL KOPS.
