ALL-WAY STRETCH FABRIC GIRDLE! WITH SIDE LATEX REINFORCEMENTS Filed Sept. 13,1961
INVENTOR. a, z z a; a m fRA/EST BRADD BY 2'2 /5 WM HTTORNEY United States Patent 3,133,542 ALL-WAY STRETCH FABRIC GIRDLE WITH SIDE LATEX REWFGRCEMENTS Ernest Bradd, Shawanese, Pa., assignor to William Glnckin dz Company, Inc, New York, N.Y., a corporation of New York Filed Sept. 13, 1961, Ser. No. 137,762 1 Claim. (Cl. 128555) This invention relates to fabric girdles formed of allway stretch materials, upon which latex reinforcements are applied in giving added support to that part of the girdle to which the reinforcement is applied. More particularly, the invention deals with a girdle of the character described having latex reinforcements of irregular contour at opposed sides of the girdle extending from the upper waistband end to the lower end of the girdle.
Still more particularly, the invention deals with a girdle structure of the character defined made in accordance with a method disclosed in a companion application filed of equal date herewith, namely Serial Number 137,761, filed September 13, 1961.
The novel features of the invention will be best understood from the following description, when taken together with the accompanying drawing, in which certain embodiments of the invention are disclosed and, in which, the separate parts are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views and, in which:
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic front view of a girdle made according to my invention, with part of the construction broken away and in section and showing the girdle with the front and back disposed one directly upon the other and with the fabric in inverted position.
FIG. 2 is a similar side view of the girdle as shown in FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is an enlarged section on the line 33 of FIG. 2, diagrammatically illustrating attachment of the latex reinforcement to the braid of the fabric.
In the drawing, diagrammatically represents a fabric girdle of all-way stretch fabric having an upper waistband portion 11 and a lower finished or hemmed edge 12. In the illustration of the girdle, the garment is shown in an inverted position, in other words, with the normal outer surface 13 of the garment, note the crosssectional view, on the inside; whereas, the inner surface 14 is arranged outermost in order to clearly illustrate the latex reinforcement.
In the construction shown, the reinforcement is in the form of two similar vulcanized sections 15 adhered to sides of the garment as disclosed in the above identified application. The sections extend from the waistband portion 11 to the lower edge 12 of the garment. The sections 15 each have, centrally thereof, concaved edges 16 forming a central reduced portionv 17, the terminal ends of the edges 16 extending to laterally projecting or forwardly and rearwardly projecting peaks 18, the latter being also partially formed by other rounded and contracted edges 19 which extend from the peaks 18 to the upper and lower edges of the garment, as will clearly appear from a consideration of FIG. 2 of the drawing. The portions of the reinforcing sections 15, in alinement with the peaks 18, comprise the wide portions 20 of the complete sections.
In the cross-sectional view, it will appear that the latex of the section 15 conforms with the loops of the fabric of the girdle or garment 10, as diagrammatically seen at 21 in FIG. 3 in establishing positive attachment of the reinforcement to the fabric. However, by controlling deposit of the latex on the fabric, this extension or penetration of the latex is limited to the inner surface 14 only of the garment and will not extend to or appear on the outer surface 13 of the garment.
In the sectional view, I have indicated at 22 the flocking on the exposed surface of the reinforcement 15 and this flocking is further illustrated by the stippling on the sections 15, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The flocking provides a soft and insulated surface of the reinforcing sections upon the body of the wearer in the use of the garment.
While it is preferred to arrange the reinforcement on the inner surface of the garment when in use, in some instances, the reinforcement can be disposed on the outer surface of the garment. By virtue of the fact that the reinforcement is made of latex, the reinforcement will extend or stretch in any direction with the all-way stretch fabric of the garment. However, the stretch of the fab ric will be checked to a degree where the reinforcement is applied thereto and, in this manner, the added support is provided in the garment but this support or reinforcement is yieldable and will conform to various changes in contour of the girdle in the use thereof and in different body movements.
It will be understood that the wide areas 20 of the sections 15 will extend well onto the front and rear of the girdle when in use, particularly at upper and lower portions of the girdle. Moreover, the upwardly contracted ends 19 of the side sections 15 will serve to maintain the waistband portion 11 of the garment in proper position on the body of the wearer.
In referring to fabric facings on the latex reinforcement, it will be understood that a stretchable fabric will be employed to enable the latex to be extended in the use of the garment.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
An all-way stretch tubular fabric girdle of the character described having a latex reinforcing section centrally of each side of the girdle, said sections having contracted end portions, one contracted end portion of each section extending to and forming part of an upper waistband portion of the girdle, the other contracted end portion of each section extending to and forming part of the lower edge portion of the girdle, the sides of each section including forwardly and downwardly extending contracted portions adjacent upper and lower ends of the girdle, said last named contracted portions providing greater circumferential reinforcement above and below the central portion of the girdle, the latex of each sec tion being vulcanized on and adhered to as well as conforming with the contour of the loops of the fabric at the surface only of the girdle to which the sections are adhered, while maintaining the stretch in the reinforced sections of the girdle, and a flock on the exposed surface of each of said reinforcing sections.
