1 Claim.
This invention relates to a close-fitting undergarment for womens wear of that type having a suspension, such as brassieres, one-piece garments, combination garments, other close-fitting undergarments, and bathing suits.
The object of the invention is to provide, in a manner ashereinaf-ter set forth, a construction of close-fitting;'undergarment for womens wear having an-unde-rarm and back control.
[0 A further object of theinvention is to provide,
in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a closefitting garment for womens wear with means to hold the flesh of the wearer at side parts of the bust, the underarm and back from riding over '5' the top edge of the garment. I
A further ob jectof the invention is to provide, in a manner as hereinafterset forth, a closefitting undergarment for womens wear with means for controlling the shoulder flesh and the part beyond the shoulder to the center of the back.
A further object of the invention is to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a closefitting undergarment for womens wear including means whereby thegarment may be worn three different positions one in extreme evening (decollete) wear, another in the regular manner and the other in bust supporting position.
. .Further objects of the invention are to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a
arrangement, strong, compact, durable, thor-.
oughly efi'icient for the purpose intended thereby and capable of beingv conveniently'placed in any one of its positions on the wearer.
With the foregoing andother objects which may hereinafter appear the invention consists V of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be more specifically referred to and are as illustrated in the accompanying drawings wherein is shown embodiments of the invention, but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modifications may be resorted to which fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.
In the drawings: Figures 1 and 2 are respectively perspective views looking towards the front and back of the wearer with the garment, in accordance with this invention mounted on the wearer,
Figures 3 and 4 are respectively perspective views looking towards the front and back of the wearer showing a modified form of garment, in
accordance with this invention mounted on the wearer,
Figures 5 and 6 are respectively perspective views looking towards the front and back of the wearer showing another modified form of garment, in accordance with this invention, mounted on the wearer,
Figure '7 is a fragmentary view of the body of the garment looking towards the front thereof, d 'I Figure 8 is a fragmentary view of the body of the garment looking towards the back thereof.
The garment in each of the forms shown in cludes a body I formed of a front 2, a pair of sides 3, 4 and a, back 5. The upper part of the front consists. of a portion ii for covering the bust of the wearer. The portion 5 has its upper portion formed of a pair of spaced tapered parts i, 8. Extending from the apex 9 of the-tapered part I, throughout the outer side edge of the, latter, throughout the top edge of side 4, throughout the outer side edge of the part 8 and to the apex 10 of 'the latter is a continuous resilient controllingmember of tape or strap-like form of, the desired length. That portion of the garment which borders the lower edge of the member is gathered, as at H. The resilient member has its lower edge connected to the garment by faggotting. It may be desirable at times to provide the garment with a slit or opening at the side or back which would be closed in a conventional manner by a slide fastener, snaps or hooks and eyes, to permit; the garment to be mole readily put. on or removed. The, slit would'pass through and divide the controlling member H3 or H! but would not destroy the continuity of the member so long as the same was fastened together at the place of division. Therefore, it is to be distinctly understood that a reference to the member l3 or 14 as'being continuous, as used throughout the specification and claim hereof is intended to include the member l3 or l4 being in one-piece or divided as explained.
In Figures 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8, the resilient member is indicated at 13 and in Figures 3 and 4 at [4. That portion of the resilient member [3 arranged at the top of the back 5 has secured to its inner face a pair of spaced loop forming members l5, [6. That portion of the resilient member l4 arranged at the top of the back 5 may or may not be provided with the members l5, [6. The member i4 is not shown as being provided with members I5, I6.
The controlling element or member extends from part 1 to part 8 and with its inner lengthwise edge disposed throughout the outer side edges of said parts I, 8, the upper edges of the sides 3, 4, and the top edge of the back 5. The inner lengthwise edge of the controlling element is secured to and throughout the outer side edges of said parts, the upper edges of the said sides and the top edge of the said back. The ends of said controlling element are substantially flush with the inner side edges of the said parts I, 8. The ends of the controlling member are in the form of attaching means.
Each controlling member has its end terminal portions bent upon themselves and secured to; gether to form loops l1, IS. The bends, i3 in said controlling members are flush with the apices 9, l and extend laterallytherefrom.
- With reference to Figures 1 and 2 the garment includes a suspension formed of a pair of re silient lengthwise adjustable straps i3, 23. The
strap i9 carries at its ends a pair of coupling members 2|, 22 of yoke-shaped form. The member 2! is capable of extending through and coacting with the top wall of loop. ll for detachably-connectingstrap19 with the part I. The
member 24 iscapable of extending through and coacting with the top wall of loop .16 for detachably connecting strap 20 with the back ii.v
The members 2|, 23 are oppositely disposed with respect to each other. The members 22, 2 are also 1 oppositely disposed with respect to each other. The straps I9, 20 are to extend over the shoulders of the wearer and when: in the positions as shown in Figures 1 and 2 provide for the garment being worn in the regular manner.
I With reference to Figures 3 and 4;, the garment includes a suspension formed of a. resilient lengthwise adjustable strap 25 having at its ends coupling members 26, 21 of yoke-shaped form.
The member 25 is capable of extending through' and wanting with the top wall ,of loop I! for includes a suspension formed of a pair of resilient lengthwise adjustable straps 29, which when in position, cross each other at the back of the wearer. pair of coupling members 3|, 32. The strap 30 carries at its ends a pair of coupling members 33, 34. The members 3!, 32, 33, 34 correspond in form to the coupling members 2!, 22, 23, 24 respectively. The member 3! coacts with the loop I! for detachably connecting strap 29 with the back 5. The member 33 coacts with the loop I8 for detachably connecting strap 30 with part .8. The member 34 coacts with loop I 5 for detachably connecting strap 30 to the back 5. When the straps 29, 30 are in the position shown in Figures 5, and 6, the garment is held in what may be termed bust supporting position.
The controlling members function to prevent the flesh of the wearer, when the garment is worn, from riding over the part of thegarment at theunderarrn and at the back of the wearer. The controlling members also provide for a'snu fit without binding during the bending or moving of the wearer.
A simulation of the wearer in Figures 1 to 6 is indicated at 35.
Each of the straps [9,20, 29, 30 includes a depending ;front stretch, a depending rear stretch and an intermediate stretch into the ends of which merge the upper ends of the said other stretches. The front stretches oppose the front of the wearer. The rear stretches oppose the back of the wearer. The intermediate stretches are mounted on the shoulders of the wearer. The rear stretches of the straps 29, 30 cross each other substantially centrally thereof.
What I claim is:
In'an undergarment, a body for encompassing the wearer, said body including a front, a back and a pair of sides, saidironthaving its upper terminal portion in the form of a pair of spaced tapered parts disposed on opposite sides of its vertical median, an elastic controlling element of strap like form having its end terminal portions bent upon and secured to its inner face, in proximity to the bends to form a pair of .attach-' ing loops for a suspension, said loops positioned at said front on opposite sides of said vertical median, the bends in said element aligning with and forming upward and outward continuations of the upper endsof the inner side edges of said parts, said element projecting throughout from the outer side edges of said parts, the top edge of each of said sides and the top edge of said back respectively, the inner lengthwise edge of said element, between the bends of the latter being anchored to the outer side edges of said parts, the upper edges of said sides and the top edge of said back, and a suspension for said body having means for detachably connecting it to said loops.
