UNITED STATES PATENT OFFIOE.
WILLIAM PADERNAGHT, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
SKIRT.
To all whom it 'may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM PADERNACHT, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Skirts, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
This invention relates to skirts and has for its object the improvement of that general type of skirt which is illustrated in my prior patent No. 853,993 dated May 21, 1907.
In the structure of the patent referred to, I provide a novel means whereby the skirt may be adjusted Within wide limits to impart to the waist-band practically any size desired.
The present improvements have particular reference to novel means whereby the length of the skirt may be adjusted to a substantial extent to render the same shorter or longer, as occasion may require or at the will of the user.
Among the characteristics of the present invention, are the formation of the body of the skirt whereby the front thereof may be shortened or extended without interfering with the back portion thereof, means for supporting the front portion of the skirt and for fastening the same in its adjusted positions, and means for concealing the fastening devices whereby the adjustability ofthe skirt may vnot mar the neat finished external appearance thereof.
The foregoing, and other features of the invention will be apparent from the detail description of the same hereinafter contained Whenread in connectionwith the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, and wherein a convenient embodiment of the invention is illustrated.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation looking from the back of the skirt toward the front thereof, Fig. 2 is a similar view from the front showing the front secured in one of its adjusted positions, Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view through a portion of the front of the skirt. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view through the same. Fig. 5 is an elevation of the front of the skirt in one of its adjusted positions and from which the finished and neat appearance of the skirt may be seen.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed January 28, 1909.
Patented .Tuly 27, 1909.
Serial No. 474,759.
Referring more specifically to the drawings, wherein like reference characters refer to corresponding parts in the several views, A represents the body of the skirt formed at the back in any convenient manner, preferably to secure a wide range of adjustment at the waist, the means illustrated herein (see B) being that disclosed in my former patent, to which I have above alluded.
The waist-band, represented at C, is stitched to the back of the skirt and extends to points approximating the sides of the skirt, indicated at D, whence the band is extended to form straps E, Ef, one of which is provided with a buckle e for a purpose as will hereafter more fully appear. At the points D, but arranged on the inside of the skirt, I secure a stay or band F, preferably covered steel, adapted to constitute a support for the front portion of the skirt and also as a carrier for certain members of the adjusting devices now to be pointed out. The front of the skirt represented at G is normally free at its upper edge and is extended to a substantial distance above the waist-band O to enable the same to be folded over the supporting stay or band F. At the opposite sides of the center of the front G, I provide two series of vertically disposed eyelets H, which are adapted to be engaged by hooks I on the supporting stay or band F, the two airs of hooks facing in opposite directions, t e better to insure against accidental unfastening of the skirt when once adjusted. To secure the front at any point desired, it is simply necessary to pass the tongues of the hooks through the proper row of eyelets, as clearly shown in Fig. 4, the insertion of the tongues of the hooks being facilitated by pivoting the same as at J to the steel band F, and the shanks of the tongues being provided with flat surfaces K engaged by spring fingers L struck out from the steel, the cooperation between the spring and tongue being such that the latter may be held in their open or closed position.
To cover the eyelets and hooks, I provide four plaits M arranged to overlie the hooks and eyes, as shown in Figs. 1 and 4, and when the front is folded back over the stay or band F the exposed portion of said front is held flat upon said band through the medium of the straps or extensions E E', buckled together as is obvious. When the skirt is attached to the user, it is, of course, preferable that the usual belt be used to surround the entire Waist and cover the straps etc.
While I have herein disclosed one s ecific embodiment of the invention, it is to e understood that changes and alterations in the special parts and details shown may be made Without in the least departing from the spirit of the invention.
