EUGEN SANDOW, OF LONDON, ENGLAND.
CORSET OR THE LIKE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 5, i916.
Application filed May 4, 1916. Serial No. 95,503.
To all whom it may r-onccrn:
Be it known that l, EUGEN Sanoow, a subject of His Majesty the King of Great Britain, and a resident of London, England, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gorsets or the like, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to corsets having removable corset busks, it being applicable to stilfeners having the same functions as busks, in gaiters and the like.
The busks according to this invention in the case of corsets may be either those having the usual eyelet plates or their equivalent, or thosecarrying the usual studs or their equivalent, or both.
The object of the invention is to enable the busks or stiffeners to be quickly inserted and removed when it is desired to clean the material of the corset or the like including that portion covering the busk, and at the same time allow of an instantaneous opening of the corset or the like should it be required.
According to the invention a busk or stiffener is carried in a pocket into which it can be preferably inserted from one edge, or is otherwise protected by some material, and is held in the desired position in such pocket, or under protection of such material, by two series of loops one of which is attached to the corset or the like on one side of the pocket or the like and embraces the forward edge of the busk or stiffener and the other of which is attached to the other side of the pocket or the like, means being employed to connect the loops such as a re1novable strip of flexible material passed through such loops when they are brought into line so as to hold the busk in place.
In the description and claim hereinafter the expression corset is understood to include material forming parts of a wearable article such as previously indicated, and the expression busk to include a stiffener, neither of such words being employed in their limited sense.
The invention is illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawing as applied to a corset, in which Figure 1 is an inside view of a portion of a corset showing the edge carrying the eyeleted busk: Fig. 2 is a front View of a portion carrying the same busk; Fig. 3 is a front view of a portion carrying the stud busk: and Fig. f is a section on an enlarged scale on line w at, of Fig. 1.
In the form illustrated the edge a. of the corset is open for the required distance (for the busk Z2) to form a continuous pocket 0 in the material 71 of the corset into which such busk may be inserted edgewise. Attached to the inside of the wall of the pocket forming the front c of the corset material which is continuous or unbroken are a series of long loops 7 while intermediate of same and upon that wall of the pocket forming the inside of the corset (or material when in use are attached another series of short loops 9 open at each end but otherwise stitched or secured on their undersides to the material of the corset so that they may be kept closely thereto.
a l hen the husk b has been placed in position the long loops 7 are brought over its front edge to inclose the busk and folded down into line with the shorter loops 9 and a strip of material it such as whalebone or steel is then threaded through all the loops, the last one at one end of the corset, in this case a loop 7, being preferably closed at one end to provide a pocket for the end of the strip. The strip at the other end may have a loop 7' or a tassel, or the like, attached to it to afford a hold for the fingers. The eyelets 70 project between the loops 7 and the loops 9 are in line behind such eyelets. In this closed position the busk is prevented from being drawn forwardly when it is fastened to the other busk. To release it the strip h is drawn out of the loops of the corset by the loop or tassel it carries, when the bush can be removed or if under tension will come instantly away.
In the case of the stud busk, j, seen in Fig. 3, the edge of that part of the pocket which is outside or forms the front 6' when in use, has slits d formed in it to allow the studs to pass into, so that the busk may be covered by that part of the pocket.
The long loops at the back are indicated by the letter f and the short loops also at the back by the letter g. The strip of whalebone or the like is indicated by the letter it.
Where the corset or the like is not to be arranged for cleaning purposes, it is evident that one husk only need be arranged to be removable as described, and as shown for eX- ample 1n Fig. 1, as the release can be efiected from one side only.
the pocket and embrace the front edge of the busk to inclose it therein, a second series of loops attached to the material of the upper side of the pocket and directly superposed on same and located to lie in line with the first series of loops when the latter are folded to inclose the busk and a strip of flexible material adapted to be threaded through the two series of loops and to be superposed upon the bush so that the strip and husk are face to face and at the free or meeting edge of the corset.
