EsPECIPICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 313,584, dated March 10, 1885.

Application filed January 3t, 1983. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, GEORGE Faosr, of Newton, county of Middlesex, State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Shirt Sleeve Supporters, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like letters on the drawings representing like parts.

This invention has for its object the production of a simple and serviceable device for supporting shirt-sleeves.

My invention consists in a cord, one part of which is made into a loop and has a garment clasp attached thereto, another part of the cord constituting the other end of the supporter, having attached to it a hook adapted to engage the looped part of the cord with which the clasp is attached. Stocking-supporters as commonly made have a loop of cord and a connected elastic or indiarubber web, with which is attached the hook referred to; but such web is expensive as compared with cord, and soon becomes injured if not kept in use, and fails to remain elastic. For use in shirt-sleeves the elastic web is not as good or durable as the cord, and the latter makes a stronger and more serviceable supporter. I

Figure 1 represents in perspective a shirtsleeve supporter embodying my invention, and Fig. 2 a modification thereof.

The cord a in Fig. 1, supposed to be endless,

has its ends I) I) held together by a metal plate, (Z, connected with a hook, e. The cord at the other end of the supporter is made into a loop, 5 f, the size of which is limited by the position of the metal clip 9. On the loopf is placed the clasp h, of usual construction. The drawings show the supporter hooked together as it would appear if on the arm and in use.

In Fig. 2 I have shown the supporter as composed of one single strand of cord between the clip 9 and part 01 e, to hold the cord and engage theloop f. The cord-supporter, if laid aside for some months, will not become Worth- 5.

less, as in the case of supporters employing elastic web.

As an improved article of manufacture, a garment-supporter composed of a cord bent 50 on itself, a metal clasp to fasten one end of the cord to itself to form a loop, a hook connected with one end of the said cord and adapted to engage the said loop, and a garment-engaging clasp suspended by or con- 55 nected with the looped part of the said cord, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof/ I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

GEORGE FROST.
