Application iled October 12, 1926. Serial No. 141,086.
This invention relates broadly to a new brassire construction.
One of the objects of this invention 1s the provision of a brassire which is adapted to support the bust in a natural osition, contrary to the old idea of brassi res made to flatten down the bust.
A further object of this invention is the provision of a brassire formed withpoclrets 0 attached to the back bands without shirring. A further object of this invention is the provision of a novel brassire construction which includes an elastic insert serving two purposes, first, the joining of the two pockets together so as to make it mold-between the breasts and mark the division, and second to lessen the strain of the brassire, which is tight fitted.
A still further object of this inventioii is the construction of a brassire having pockets therein, 'constructed of irregular shaped pieces to provide an 'arrangement without shirring.
A still further object of this invention 1s 25 the arrangement of seams placed in such a position as to eliminate any strain or pressure on the breast, and a still further purpose is to have the elastic insert covered with silk or net shirring for beautifying purposes, which is very essential in womens wearing apparel.
A further object of this invention 1s the provision of a brassire formed with pockets attached to a band extended below and 1nside above the lower parts of the pockets to revent the bust from slipping out.
hese and many other objects are secured by the brassire construction disclosed herein.
This invention resides substantially 1n the combination, construction, arrangement and relative location of parts, all as will appear more fully hereinafter.
Referring to the drawings, in which the same reference numerals will be used throughout thefseveral views to indicate the same or similar parts,
Figure 1 represents a lperspective view of a brassire employing t e novel principles 5o of my construction.
Figure 2 re resents a cross-sectional view taken on the ine 2-2 of Figure 1, looking in the direction of the arrows.
Figure 3 represents a cross-sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 5 looking 1n the direction of the arrows.
Figure 4 represents an enlarged crosssectional View taken on the same line as Figure 3.
Figure 5 is an enlaro'ed detailed side elevational view of the elastic insert.
Figures 6 and 9 represent a portion of the elements which form the back band.`
Figures 7 and 10 represent a portion of the piece which forms the upper portion of the pockets and Fivures 8 and 11 represent the portion which forms the bottom portion of the pockets.
Figure 12 shows a rear elevational view of a modified form with a band forming with the pockets a receptacle for the breasts.
Figure 13 is an enlarged front elevational View of one of the pockets.
Figure 14 is a vertical cross-seetional view taken on line 14-14 of Fig. 12, looldng in the direction of the arrows.
It has been found in actual experience with former constructions of brassires that there is a tendency for the brassire to cause irritation of the wearers skin due to certain features of construction.
For instance, it has been found that the seams used 1n uniting the several elements of the brassire, being raised, cause this trouble, as well as the shirring used in joining the several arts together. Especially is this true of t e shirring formed where the pockets are united to the elastic insert. The improved construction disclosed hereineliminates these diiiiculties.
Referring to the drawings, I have shown at 1, the two pieces 1, which form together the back band for supporting the ocket section on the body of the wearer. he pocket comprises the two pieces 2 and 3. The shape of the pieces 1, 2 and 3 are clearly shown in Fi res 6 to 11. The two pieces 2 are provi ed with a V-shaped notch indicated by the reference numeral A an'd the two edges of the notch are drawn together and united to form the substantially vertical seam shown in Figure 1, and form the upper portion of the pockets. Since the drawing together of these edges will cause the element-2 to bulge and become convex it is evident that this construction is readily adapted to form a pocket. The lace or net lining 4 is shown, which in the completed article will form a complete cover for the inside of the brassire. An elastic insert 6 is shown secured to the inner ends of the pockets and pieces of ta e 7 are used to cover these seams as is clear y shown in Figure 3. A net covering 5 is also rovided for the elastic insert 6. The back and pieces 1 are attached to the pockets by means of seams and tape covering 7'; and this connection, as well as the connection of the pockets to the elastic insert is formed without any shirring. The free ends of the back band are covered with the tapepieces 8 and applied with the usual hook and eye construction 9. Suitable straps 10 are provided to support the brassire on the shoulders of the wearer. As is shown in Figure 2 the edges of the pieces 3 and 4 are bent bac on themselves as shown at l1 and 12 and joined together to form a strong resistant bound edge. As is clearly shown in Figure 1, the portion 3 lits into the ilat V-shaped portion ormed by the elements 2, when they are shaped as above described, and is joined to these ed es to form thc seams 13. It is at once Aevi ent that by this construction a neat pocket arrangement is formed.
It may be pointed out then that by this construction a brassire is formed with re1al tively few seams which are all covered by a lace or net lining and pieces of tape, so t at the seams are not allowed direct contact with the skin. It will be evident that by this construction the resulting product is neat, and comprises relatively ew parts. I consider the particular pattern shapes devised by me to form the pocket construction one of the essential features of this invention, since I provide a method of constructing pockets an'd attaching them to the back band piece of the elastic insert without shirring. i The lace covering can be omitted if desired.
In the form of brassire shown in Figures 12, 13 and 14, the back pieces 1 and the fastening means 8 are used. An elastic insert 30 is also shown in the back bands. The kets formed of the pieces 2 and 3 are own attached to the upper portions ofthe back band, which are wide 1n this construction, and are joined by the elastic insert 6 at 40. ik band comprising the parts 31, 32 and 33 50 1s umted together and to the back bands by taped seams 34. The bottom edges of the kets are united with the composite band y the seams 35, and a lace band 41 decorates and strengthens the uer free edge. All the l5 edges are strengthens y being bent back on themselves at 35, and tacked down. A receptacle for the breasts is formed between the ocket formin portions and the portions of t e com osite an'd between the seams 34 o0 and 35. houlder stra 36 are rovided with a series of button oles 37 a pted to form with the buttons 38 adjustable supports for the brassire.
I am, of course, aware that many ch in the detail of construction and relative arrangement of parts will readily suggest themselves to those skilled in the art and I do not, therefore, desire to be limited to the exact details 'disclosed by the way of illustration, but rather to the spirit and scope of ny invention as I define it in the appended c aim.
What I seek to secure by United States Letters Patent is: l
In a brassire construction as described the combination of two` sets of two irregular shaped members secured together along three seams emanating from a single point to form breast receiving pockets, having an elastic connection between them, a back band secured to each pocket and having means on the free ends o said back bands for detachably securing the brassire around the bod of the wearer, and a flexible and distortab e lining for the brassire for protecting the wearers body from said seams.
In testimon whereof I have hereunto set llryshand on t is 6th day of October, A. D.,
WILLIAM ROSENTHAL.
