JOI-IN R. DEAN, OF NORTH GIRARD, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR, BY MESNE ASSIGN- MENTS, TO THE NU BONE CORSET COMPANY OF PENNSYLVANIA, OF COR-RY, PENN- SYLVANIA, A CORPORATION OF PENNSYLVANIA.
G'ARMENE-STAY.
Application filed December 23, 1913.
To all whom t may concern: i
'Be it known that I, JOHN'R. DEAN, VaV
fuily described `and pointed out inthe claim.
More specifically this stay belongs to that class formed of wire having loops formed therein on opposite sides of the stay so that the completed stay has loops at the edges with connecting transverse portions. With such a construction the transverse portions sustain the greater part of the fiexure by a torsional action of these transverse portions. It is desirable to makel these stays as fiat as possible and also to have them of considerable stiffness but capable of making sharp bends within their elastic limit. stiffness with equal flexibility or elasticity can be accomplished by using smaller wire and increasing the number of wires used. The difficulty with many of such structures is that the assembling of the several wires increases the thickness of the stay and one of the principal objects of this invention is to associate a plurality of wires in such a stay without materially increasing its thickness.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing as follows: The stay is Vformed of the wires l and 2. These have the transverse portions 3 and 4 which terminate in the loops 5 and 6 the wires being bent back on themselves to form' these loops and crossing themselves in the transverse portions 7 and 8 ,in continuation of the stay. The transverse portions'and Sterminate in the loops 9 andlO and these in the transverse portions 3 and 4 thus continuing the structure throughout the stay. It will be noted that the wire l succeeds or follows the Specification of Letters Patent.

wire 2 throughout the stay and that notwithstanding the doubling of the wire the stay is no thicker than with a single wire. There is no crossing of one wire by the other in the same portion of the configuration of any one wire by a similar portion of a vcompanion wire. In this way comparatively small wires may be used the greater number giving stiffness to the stay yet the assembling is suoli that the stay is even thinner than a single wire of larger diameter and the association of the wires prevents their disarrangement relatively to each other.
It will be noted that the association of one wire with the other is entirely due to the overlapping as distinguished from in terweaving. In this way the wires while associated sufliciently to keep them in proper relation are not put to local stresses as in interweaving and consequently the full elastic quality of the wire is utilized.
W' hat I claim as new is:-
A stay comprising two parallel wires bent back and forth across the stay with the wires oppositely bent back upon themselves at the opposite edges forming oppositely disposed loops in each wire with crossings at the inner edges of said loops, the loops of one wire crossing the loops of the other at the outer edges of the stay, the forward sides of the loops of one wire overlapping the rear sides of the loops of the other wire, both wires having the same configuration throughout the stay, one wire being slightly offset with relation to the other and crossing itself and its companion wire on the same side of each of said wires at the inner side of the loop, one wire being associated with the other entirely by overlapping.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.
JOHN R. DEAN.
