Description

GEORGE L. EASON, OF DES MOINES, IOVA.
IMPROVEMENT IN CORSETS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 146,127, dated January 6,1874; application filed December 8, 1873.
.simple means of connecting a Vcombined stay and clasp with a corset in such a manner that it can be attached and detached at pleasure without sewing and ripping. It consists in forming button-hole openings and eyelets in the cloth; and in fixing hooks or studs on the stays; and in a locking stay-leaffor holding -the different parts securely together; all as hereinafter fully set forth.
Figure 1 of my drawing is a perspective view of a front section of a corset, and illustrates the manner of forming the edge of the cloth to receive and inelose the stay.
A A represent the cloth or textile portion,
which may be cut and seamed together, or woven together in any suitable way, and of any material, size, and form desired. an represent button-hole openings, designed to allow the clasps projecting from the stay to pass through the cloth. They may be made in any suitable manner that will protect the raw edge of the cloth. b -b represent a double row of eyelets, ixed along the edge of the cloth in positions corresponding with the studs on the stay, designed to button into the eyelets. The eyelets may-be metal, or they may be worked with thread, or formed in any manner that will prevent the cloth from wearin g, and also be rigid enough to button and hold on the stud. B B is a corset-stay of common form, with clasps c c attached. 1t may bc made of any suitable iiexible material, and of any size desired. `The clasps c c may also vary in forni. The stay on the opposite side of the corset has hooks or studs designed to engage the clasps `c e, and thereby hold the corset together on the body of the wearer. d d represent a series` of studs, rigidly attached to the stay in any suitable way. They correspond in position and size with the series or double row of eyelets b b, and are designed to button into the eyelets. The edge of the corset is placed or heldin an inverted position, and the stay also placed thereon, in an inverted position, in such a manner that the clasps c will enter the button-hole openings a. The edge of the cloth is then turned over .the stay, and the iirst or outside row of eyelets b buttoned on the studs d in the manner shown at the lower It corresponds in length with the main stay B. l 2 3 4 is a series of graduated' slots, with en larged end openings designed to admit and hold the heads of the studs d, and thereby clasp the cloth A more securely to the stay B. The form of these slots may vary; but they must correspond with the form of the studs.
The length of the slots diminish from l to 4.
When No. l slot has taken hold of a stud, d, No. 2 slot will be in position to admit the head ot' the second stud. By then moving the leaf C longitudinally, the head of the second stud will be locked in the narrow part of the slot.
Graduating the length of the slots allows the studs to be fastened in succession, and prevents the secured ones from slipping out while the others are being fastened. The same result can be obtained by making the heads of the studs of irregular form, andralglowing them to enter an opening in the `leaf C and then turn.
j" is a slot, cut from the edge of the leaf C toward the center, and of such form that it will readily admit the last or end stud d when the end ofthe leaf is pressed aside of the stud. rlhe elasticity of the leaf allows lateral movement to admit the stud, and when it resumes its normal position the leaf C will be prevented y from moving longitudinally, by means of the side slot' f and the end stud d.
By lne-ans of the leaf C, a double stay' or donble-leafed stay is produced that will be stronger, and at the same time more flexible and elastic, than av single stay.
I claim as my inventionl. The method of securing a stay-husk to the edge of the corset by means of eyelets b b and studs d d, in the manner and for the purpose set forth.
2. The auxiliary leaf C, in Combination with 2L corset, A, and stay-bask B7Wl1en constructed and arranged to operate substantially as and for the purposes specified.
