, 1,924,132 LINGERIE- STRAP HOLDER Esther L. Santsaver, North Attleboro, MassQ Application January 16, 1933. Serial No. 651,957 2 Claims. (oi. 24, 451) This invention relates to a device for holding in place the shoulder straps of a woman's lingerie and has for one of its objects the provision of a simple construction which may be positioned upon the shoulder straps of lingerie to hold the straps together and prevent the straps from slipping over the shoulder.
I Another object of the invention is the provision of a construction which will maintain itself upon the shoulder straps in a desired position of adv justmcnt therealong and will not slip laterally from the shoulder straps in the ordinary conditlbns of usage.
Another ob'ect of the inventionis the provision vlb of, a construction which will be ornamental as well as serve the purpose of retaining the shoulder straps in desired position.
.,Another object of the invention is the provision of means whereby the strap holders may be attached to a chain for securing them together and prevent the sliding of the shoulder straps pve'rthe shoulder.
A furtherobject of the'invention. is the provision of 'a holding device, which maybe-easily handledby the user.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, as will be more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawing:
Fig. l is a perspective view illustrating the shoulder strap holder as in position upon the wearer.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the strap holder detached from the chain and from the strap which it receives.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged plan view showing the strap holder as positioned on a short section of strap, and a fragmental portion of chain attached thereto.
Fig. 4 is a section on line 44 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is a plan view illustrating the sliding relation of the pendant on the chain.
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the modified form of strap holder.
In the wearing of lingerie frequently where a plurality of straps extend over the shoulder. these straps become separated and frequentlyone or more of them slip off the shoulder to the annoyance of the wearer and in order to prevent these undesirable occurrences I provide a simple strap holder which will retain the several shoulder straps in assembled relation and which by a connection between two of these holders may retain the straps against sliding from the shoulder, and
the following is a detailed description of the present embodiment of this invention illustrating the preferred means, by which these advantageous results may be accomplished.
With reference to the drawing, 10 designates agarment from which straps -'11 extend over the shoulders 12 of the wearer, while straps of othergarments may lie beneath the straps l1, l3designates generally the strap holders which are connected together by a chain 14 which slidably supports a pendant 15 by reason of an eye 16 secured thereto. This pendant is ornamental in itself and the. arrangement is such that it will be supported in view as a necklace about the neck of the wearer. This pendant 15 is slidably sup ported so that as movement of the body occurs it may slide along the'chain 14 from one position to another, it being of sufficient weight" so that during this movement,- even though one shoulder may 'be lowered'and the other'shoulder raised, the weight of this pendant will be surficient'to prevent, a sliding of the shoulder straps 11. from the shoulders '12.
' The shoulder strap holder 13 itself is: illustrated in Fig. 2 as bent from a lengthof wire into generally 8 shape. The wire may be of any suitable cross section but is preferably of angular cross section such as square as I have shown. This 8 shape provides a so-called straddle bar 1'7 with arms 18 and 19 folded from this bar as at 20 and 21 and leaving from the folds 20 and 21 a space 22 and 23 sufficient to freely receive one or more of the straps 11 which extend over the shoulder and prevent their separation.- The portions 24 and 25 of these arms so closely appreach the folds 20 and 21 as to substantially contact therewith, or leave between the arms and the bar a space less than the thickness of the material to be received in the openings 22 and 23. The stock, however, being sufliciently resilient to permit the arms to be sprung outwardly for the admission of the material such as the strap 11 to be placed therein. Although the spaces 22 and 23 between the bars and the arms are of a width greater than the material to be received, the material such as the strap 11 being woven in and out under the arms and over the bar or viceversa provide such sharp bends in the material that any tendency to pull or move the device along the strap will be prevented by reason of the friction thus afforded. This action is also prevented by reason of the gripping of the edges of the strap between the arms and the bar, where the straps inserted are of sufficient width, which also condition.
Some suitable attaching means such as a ring 26 is positioned in one of the folds such as 21 enabling a chain to be secured thereto for connecting the holders 13 together. This chain may be readily removed by sliding the ring over the end of the arm 19 to replace it with another chain should this be desirable.
The ends of each of the arms 18 and 19 are rolled outwardly as at 27 to prevent there being a sharp end to engage the body of the wearer and cause discomfort and also to provide a handle portion by which the device, which is very small, may be more readily handled or manipulated in sliding the strap into the space between the bar and one of the arms, and as this end portion on which the roll is formed extends outwardly as at 28 it provides a guide which, together with the roll or curved portion of the fold, affords easy entrance of the strap into a desired position between the bar and arms.
In the modified structure illustrated in Figs. 4 and 6 I provide a strap holder from a plate 30 which is slotted inwardly as at 31 and 32 from opposite sides. The slots being broader in their central portion to allow free movement of the strap therealong but being confined as at 33 so that a strap cannot be easily removed therefrom.
At 33 the arms will contact or be sufiiciently close so that a space less than the thickness of the strap received will be afforded at these ends and will thus require a movement of the arms which may be had at right angles to the plane of the plate due to its resilience to spread the arms 34 from the bar 35 to provide a sufiicient space at the ends 33 of the arms for the insertion or removal of a strap therefrom.
This plate is also provided with an opening 36 for the attachment of the chain or the like and provides sufficient surface for an enamel or other suitable ornamental finish which may be provided that the device may be made highly attractive.
serves to maintain the strap in spread out flat In the use of lingerie holders of this character it is necessary that there be a restricted opening at the entrance to the space between the bar and the arms or else the opening be restricted throughout its length as the fabric is of thin material and light texture and a wide opening at these ends will not be as satisfactory.
The foregoing description is directed solely towards the construction illustrated, but I desire it to be understood that I reserve the privilege of resorting to all the mechanical changes to which the device is susceptible, the invention being defined and limited only by the terms of the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A garment shoulder strap holder comprising a body shaped to provide a straddle bar and resilient arms disposed on opposite sides of said bar and connected to opposite ends thereof and extending along substantially the full length of the bar, said arms at their free ends approaching said bar to such an extent that the distance between the bar and arms is less than the thickness of the parts to be received between the bar and arms, said bar and arms having a dimension at right angles to the plane of said bar and arms no greater than their dimension in the plane of said bar and arms whereby a strap may be threaded between said bar and arms and lie on one side of said bar and on the opposite side of saidarms.
2. A garment shoulder strap holder comprising a body shaped to provide a straddle bar with arms connected at its opposite ends and disposed on I opposite sides of said bar and each of an extent longer than said center bar, said bar and arms having a dimension at right angles to the plane of said bar and arms no greater than their dimension in the plane of said bar and arms whereby a strap may be threaded between said bar and arms and lie on one side of said bar and on the opposite side of said arms, and means for attaching said holder to a chain or another part.
