SHIRT HOLDING DEVIQE Filed Sept. 17, 1927 l zivani'or 61.030215 oaTe Patented Aug. 19, 1930 GUYON LOCKE, OF QUINCY, MASSACHUSETTS SHIRT-HOLDING DEVICE Application filed September 17, 1927. Serial No. 220,145.
This invention relates to improvements in shirt holding devices. 'More particularly 1t relates to devices which are in'sertab'le -between shirt and trousers for holding the shirt 5 down For this purpose yieldability and flexibility; are needed, with a certain measure of stiffness, so that all varieties of body movements of the wearer may be executed freely,
without .restraint due tothe shirt fastening i0 and without danger of tearing the'shirt.
It is an object of the invention to improve upon prior devices intended for this use, both by making the engaging means effective and by. providing resilience sufficient to let the clothing yield and to cause return of the clothing to normal positionwhen'any bending of the wearerhas ceased. One feature is tomountthe shirt holders so that they can move in conjunction with the movements of 3 the wearers body, they being arranged over the hips and having small rotary motion about a single pivot. V An important feature is that the engagement with the shirt is dis tributedover a considerable area of the cloth V 7 thereof, so that the pull of the gripping means on the shirt is aided by a friction drag which minimizes the. danger of tearing the cloth. Another feature residesin having an elastic strut for carrying the main thrust, in holding down the shirt, and in avoiding too great stiffness thereof, which otherwise would be neces sary if the device were to do its work, by pro-.
viding an auxiliary elastic tie for resisting 1 deformation of the device as a whole and tending to return the device to normal shape after such deformation. It is, moreovenan importantfeatureto provide for producing compact and durabledevices at small and commercially pra'cticablecost.
These ends are gained by employing a com: bination wireand rubber elastic structure in which the wire is formed into a flexible frame of inverted Y shape, having a trunk. so short that the Y may almost be called an 4 inverted V, wherein the prongs of the Y are capable of being bent upward toward the trunk, thus yielding to vertical stresses when the wearer bendshis body; and an.
elastic band is connected between the prongs, acting directly to oppose their belng spread,
and indirectly to oppose elastically their said bending toward the trunk. This combination of prongs and rubber elastic makes a sort of elastlc triangle, one pointof which is at the base of the Y or V, each point of III;
which triangle carries a button engaging shirt or trousers. Each branch of the Y, terminating in one of said points, has a fork or U-crevice formed at its end, adapted to receive one of said buttons, which is especially arranged for engaging the shirt; and the point at the base of the Y has a fork or U-crevice formedto engage under and press upward against the usual suspender button at the hip of the wearers trousers, inside the waistband. When so engaged the bottom of this U bears upward against the threads which hold saidsuspender button in place, The buttons'for engaging the shirt are preferably rubber covered and adapted to act like hosesupporters, being covered by a portion of the shirt whichis to be engaged and then slipped into said U with the shirt held be tween thegbuttonand the limbs of the U in the customary manner. Further details I of construction and the operation of the device will be explainedhereinafter. The fastening being applied to that button of the trousers which is overthe hip of a wearer, thedevice as a whole will be maintained in position by itsown state of flexure with a gentle pressure upward against the trouser button, and downward against the shirt forward of the hip and downward against the shirt to the rear of the hip. Upon any bending movement of the wearer the device can rock about the single trousers button with which it'is associated, and'either prong of the Y can yieldupward elastically, or sidewise elastically, returning when the stress is passed. t i I It is intendedthat the patent shall cover by suitable expression in the appended claims, whatever features of patentable novelty exist in the invention disclosed.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 illustrates a device, embodying features of the invention, in use;
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the shirt I holder seen in Figure 1, seen as if a section the plane of superimposed loops 16,
formed as a triangle.
were made through the threads which fasten the suspender button 26 to the inner face of the trousers, and showing bights of the shirt gripped tight by the holder;
Figure 3 is an elevation of the holder per se;
Figure 4 is a side elevation thereof;
Figure 5 is a section on line 5-5 of Figure 2; and
. Figure 6 is an elevation of a modified form.
Referring to the drawings, the fiat frame is ofinverted Y-shape, reasonably-stiff, yet capable of yielding flexibly so that each branch 10 can bend outward and upward in the Y. The trunk 11 is formed with a Uend 12, and each branch 10 likewise is formed with a U 14 at its end, these Us being to receive the necks of the fastening buttons 26,24. Preferably, the frame is made trom a single piece of wire, bent into the shape illustrated, so that two portions of the Wire lying parallel, half an inch or so apart, constitute each branch 10. This wire is represented as having a loop 16 at each which loops come together at the trunk. The trunk is very short, so that the bottom of its U 12 is close to the vertex of the angle between the'bran'ches 10, so that it is in effect practically at or near the vertex of the inverted V formed by the branches of the Y. A band 18 of metal or other suitably stiff material, passesaround the trunk of the inverted Y at this vertex, and a rivet 20, or the like, passes, through the band and through the by the band, so that this single fastening holds all together in the specified shape.
, This same fastening holds the two ends of a band 22 of elastic material which may be This is arranged back of frame 10, with the upper point ofthe triangle, which is made by junction of the ends of the elastic band, located between the wires and encased by the band 18, and secured by the rivet 20. The other two points of the elastic triangle are made by folds in the band 22, the band being there threaded through a perforated plate or slide which carries a button 24 adapted to be engaged by the U at the end of the Y-branch with which it is associated. \Vhen the triangle is stretched to bring the respective buttons 24: into position to be engaged by the U-ends of the branches of the Y, the elastic side limbs of the triangle hold thebuttons in the Us; and the lower side of the triangle, which extends from one button 24 to the other, holds the branches of the Y elastically against spreading.
In Figure 1 the device is seen as it may be arranged in operative position, placed over the hip, between shirt 28 and trousers, with the U 12 at the trunk of the inverted Y engaging under the usual suspender button 26 inside the waist band of the trousers, and with the branches of the Y ext-ending downward,
end,
which are encased one forward and one rearward. A bight 30 of shirt'28 may be drawn up around the lower portion of the elastic triangle, over a button 24:, and the triangle then may be stretched to bring the neck ofthe button, thus covered, into position to slide into the U end of its particular Y-branch. The U clamps the shirt around the button, somewhat as is customary with hose supporters; and the button is kept in the U byelasticity of the side band 22, which remains under slight tension, pulling endwise against the end of the wire branch of frame 10, which constitutes a strut that cannot yield endwise further than is permitted by the button 26 with which the base of the Y is engaged.
The other button being likewise covered by a bight of shirtand clamped by the U end of its associated Y branch, there will be a secure grip holding the shirt down at points forward and back of the hip of the wearer. The shirt will maintain the device as a whole in operative position, because its engagements with the buttons 24 can be made at such positions on the shirt that the engaging of the U 12 under trousers button 26 places thebranches 10 under slight fieXure. This flexure bends the lower ends of the Y upward, each branch of it becoming curved to whatever degree may happen to be occasioned by the particular place where the wearer happens to have made the engagement between button and shirt. As the stress. is applied upward while the particularbranch of Y to which it is engaged lies at an inclination to the vertical, the resisting effort of the Y is a combination of enclwise thrust and a lateral bending, the branch being elastic in its naturebecause the wires making the frame are elastic, and can bend in the plane of the Y. This bending involves a spreading of the two branches; and this spreading calls into play the elasticity of the bottom member of the elastic band triangle This action can occur at either branch, and simultaneously at both branches, of the Y, when the device is adjusted to position by the wearer; and the action can continue or vary to suit circumstances occasioned by any and all bending of the body or limbs of the wearer; and upon the relaxation of such a bending the elasticity of the wires tends to straighten them and the elasticity of the lower band 22 cooperates to draw them back from their spread position. By the device of introducing this horizontal band into the combination a degree of strength of elasticity for the return is obtained without making the wires as large and as stifl as would other- .WlSG be required to get the same power of return, thus avoiding a degree of stiffness which might be injurious to the cloth or un comfortable to the wearer, or heavy and expensive to manufacture. At all times the device as a whole is held against the suspender button 26 but can rock about the threads of this button as a single pivot, to cooperate with the body movements of the wearer. One of these devices being arranged at each side over the hips,-the shirt is effectively and comfortably held from creeping up out of the trousers, It is an important advantage of the invention that the holding devices may be worn without hampering free movement of the wearers body and without damage thereby to cloth. The compact structure together with the laterally yielding, flexible strut characteristics and elastic tie for restoring the curvedstrut to straightness make the device exceedingly practical. And the arrangement whereby it can be supported on one and only one of the customary suspender buttons of trousers, using that one which is located at the hip, letsit rock with the body and eliminates the discomfort which would result if both buttons were used or if the strut were not capable of bending easily toward front or back of the wearers body.
The device seen in Figure 6 is somewhat modified in form. In this case the U-end of each downward extending arm has itswire bent so as to form a loop 42, and an elastic band 44 is connected across the pair of loops to resist elastically the spreading of arms 40, and to return them to normalcy after any such spreading. The button-carrying elastic strips 46 hang freely without their ends'being connected together, and each button may 5; be covered by a fold of shirt and brought to position to slip into a U as heretofore has been described.
