STAYFOR GARNI ENTS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 287,916, dated November 6, 1883.
` f i Application filed June 23,18%. (No model.)
.To @ZZ whom lt may concern.:
Beit known that I, THOMAS B. EARRING- 'roN, of Minneapolis, in the county of Henne pin and State ofMinnesotm have invented certain new and uscil Improvements in Stays for Garments, Shoes, and other Articles; and I hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, Yreference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to stays for the corners of pockets, iiies, and other bifurcations of garments, and it may be applied to shoes and similar purposes generally. l
It consists in a rep-enforce passed through incisions in the superficial layers of the parts to be stayed, at or near their junction, and secured beneath such layers, as will be herein after more fully set forth, and indicated' in `the claim. a
Infthe drawings, Figure l represents a pants or overalls liy spread open to reveal the stay applied in accordance with my invention.
, Fig. 2 is a section of Fig. l revealing-the stay,
which is indicated by white lines between the folds of the garment. Fig. 3 is a top view of a pants-pocket externally applied to the body,
spread to showthe stay at the corners; and Fig. 4 is a central vertical section of Fig. 3, showing the stay in a horizontal -view thereof.
A in Figs. l and 2 represents the body of a pair of pants, and B the iiy. C is a stay- `piece of vlinen tape or other suitably strong material, which passes through incisions c and b, made through the proximate superficial layers a. and b of A and B, respectively, at or near their juncture, said stay being extended beneath the folds a and b, and secured by stitching to the contiguous parts. Similarly,

pocket, as of an overcoat, the strainis often In the application of this invention to 'cloth' or knit garments I usually apply an eyelet of meta-l to each of the incisions a and b, to pre-u vent their tearing under strain upon the stay, vand to prevent the stay frombreaking by frequent flex ures thereof. Instead of a metal eyelet, however, the apertures may be worked7 with thread, or otherwise finished and strengthened, Vand such working is regarded as the equivalent of a metal eyelet in my annexed claim.
I am aware that stay-pieces have been superficially applied in the angle of pockets and ilies; but' when so applied but little advantage is. obtained therefrom, since the lspreading-l strain upon the parts falls mainly on the staystitches nearest the crotch, which are no stronger than those that join the-parts themselves. In my construction, on the other hand, the strain is lengthwise upon the secured ends of the stay, and in the direction of the eyelet or passage, and as a consequence falls nearly equally upon all the stitches by which said stay is held. By this means greatly increased strength is obtained. A further important advantage is foundV in my mode of applying the stay in the concealment of the latter, since I may thereby use material for the stay unlike and much stronger than that of which the garment is made, without, as in the case of a superficial stay, giving an unsightly appearance to the garment. Furthermore, such'preferred material for the sta-ybeing usually much lighter in substance than that of the garment itself', the pressure ofthe stay does not add materially tothe bulk, and in a pocket offers no obstruction to the hand. Adding nothing appreciable to the bulk or rigidity of the garment at the juncture of the stayed parts, there is,
moreover, in 'my Aconstruction no increased tendency on the partof the garment to break out in the neighborhood of the juncture from strain inbending.
As another valuable incident to my main invention, 4I may in the case of `pockets con- IDO them by the tailor.
tinue the stay-piece of practically or relatively non-extensible material, like a linen tape, beneaththe superficial folds, entirely across the part B, or entirely around the opening of the pocket, preferably joining the ends within the body to form a continuous band. This will prevent the parts from stretching and preserve the smoothness and evenness orginally given The dotted lines in Fig. 3 may be taken to indicate such continuous stay. i
Y Instead of making an incision to admit the stay beneath or between the layers of the pocket-rim, the outer fold of the pocket may in some cases be folded inwardly over the tape or stay. p
In the application of my invention to pants-K lies especially I prefer to make the incisions somewhat above the .point of juncture of the flies, vso as to take the entire spreading-strain so frequently applied to the crotch of this garment.
To apply the stay superficially to one of two V faces and pass it beneath the other will be Within the intent of the annexed claim, which denes my invention'.
I am aware that elastic strips have been l passed througheyelets in overallsilies to take the place of buttons, as a means of drawing and holding the garment about the person.
This is not my invention, which contemplates inelastic material, vas above set forth, and the location of such stay at or near the crotch to be strengthened.
Having thus described l,my invention, I
