DEVICE FOR PRODUCING LONG-WAIST EFFECT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 792,797, dated June 20, 1905.
Application filed November l7 1904. Serial No. 233,096.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, DAVID A. SELIGMAN, a resident of the city of Providence,in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Producing Long-Waist Effect; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to retaining devices for womens wear designed to be connected to the underclothing and then engage the dressskirt binding and waist-belt to hold. them in the required position to give the desired long- Waist effect, which is the fashion at the present time.
The invention is fully set forth in this specification and more particularly pointed out in the appended claim.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents the device in position on the form, giving the desired shape and effect to the waistline. Fig. 2 represents the device as attached to the back side of the ornamental plate or buckle, representing the attaching-pin in dotted lines as turned down at right angles and in the position relative to the buckle mostconvenient to be inserted into the clothing. Fig. 3 is a central longitudinal section of the buckle and hook portion, showing the pin-tongue in position. Fig. 4 is a detail in perspective of the hook portion which is attached to the back of the ornamental buckle-plate. Fig. 5 rep resents the back side of the pin-tongue plate, showing the tongue by which it is connected to the back lip of said hook portion.
Referring to the drawings, at 1 is the ornamental front plate or buckle, that is usually made of sheet stock stamped up with various ornamental designs and may be made in any desired shape, but is preferably made to take the'curvature of the body of the wearer, so as to lie close thereto and also to conform somewhat to the curve of the belt-line to carry out the long-waist effect.
At 2 is the hook portion, which is preferably made of sheet metal bent into an inverted-U shape to form two spring-lips 3 and 4: for gripping and holding the belt, the front lip 3 being secured by soldering or otherwise to the back of this buckle-plate 1, which plate serves to cover the hook portion and its fastening and also serves to lengthen said front lip to which it is attached. This hook portion is preferably made very broad to extend longitudinally across the buckle-plate, so as to present a long bearing-surface to the dress-bindingand belt, and is also, like the buckle or front plate, curved to conform to the contour of the body of the wearer. The top edge of the hook portion 2 is concaved, so to preserve the curve of the belt-line and carry out the long-waist effect, the lip 3 being Wider than the lip 4.
At 5 is a downwardly-extending narrow plate that may be secured to the back lip of the hook in any convenient manner. It is found in practice, however, that, the best results are obtained by loosely connecting this plate to the hook portion, so as to allow the buckle and hook to work freely and move with the movements of the body of the wearer, so as not to tear the device from its fastenings and also to prevent the tearing of the fabric to which the device is attached. To accomplish this, a tongue 6 has been formed on the upper end of the plate, which tongue is passed through the eye 7 in the back lip of the hook and turned back upon the plate, shown in Fig. 5, forming a loose connection to the buckle, allowing a free movement of the same.
The attaching-pin 8 is of the type shown and described in my patent for pin-tongues, No. 763,805, in which the lower end of the pintongue is bent in the form of acoil and con nected to the lower end of the plate by being threaded through two eyes formed by strips raised from the body of said plate. ()no advantage of this type of pin-tongue is that it may be turned down at right angles into the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2 of the drawings, thus greatly facilitating the inserting of said pin into the clothing, as the whole buckle then serves as a handle by which to press the pin into position. The buckle is then turned back into the upright position, and no other hook, clasp, or fastening is required to hold ICO it in place, as would be required if the ordinary safety-pin were used in securing the device.
The application and operation of the device may be further described as follows:
The buckle or ornamental front plate serves as an ornament to the .dress, as well as to cover the hook portion and fastening device behind it.
To apply the device, the pin 8 is turned at right angles to the plate 5 into a position where it is entirely free to be inserted into the fabric. The buckle portion is then carried to the right, leaving the pin standing straight up. The pin is then insertedinto the lower point of the corset, the buckle portion itself forming a convenient handle by which to insert the pin. After said pin has been inserted the buckle is carried back to the upright position, as shown in Fig. 1, and the dress-skirt binding is carried beneath the front plate to engage the hook portion, which fits it snugly. The upward tension of the dress-binding naturally holds the pin up firmly in position. The particular manner of attaching pin 8 to plate 5 also permits lateral play of the buckle. whereby the strain on the is desired to further secure or conceal the ends of the belt they may be tucked under the waist-binding. i.
The device is practical in its construction, may be readily applied, and needs no clasps or other fastenings to hold it in position. By its construction it is free to move with the body without liability of tearing the fabric to which it is attached, conforming readily to the backward and forward, as well as the lateraL'movement of both the body and the garment, the effect being an approximately universal'joint between the garment and the beltretainer. It is also very readily disconnected or detached and serves its purpose in a most satisfactory manner of producing the longwaist effect.
Having thus described-my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination with a U-shaped plate having resilient lips, said plate being curved throughout its length to conform to the contour of the body and having its top edge concaved, of a depending plate having one end. provided with a hook extending through a slot in one of said lips, said book being turned back upon said plate, whereby an eye is' formed, and a laterally-movable pin mountec in the lower end of said plate.
In testimony w hereofl have hereunto set my hand this 15th day of November, A. D. 1904;.
DAVID A. SELIGMAN.
In presence of HOWARD E. BARLOW, E. I. OGDEN.
