PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Braces and Attachments thereof.
ROBERT SCHREMER of 29 Great Titchfield Street in the County of Middlesex
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
2
This invention relates to improvements in braces and has for its object to secure
a better and more regular adjustment of the trousers and also mainly to prevent
the shirt to shift or bag out of position.
The arrangement and shape of the braces described hereafter is also intended to
prevent any slipping of the braces from the shoulders thus presenting notable
improvements on any similar article.
To attain this object I form a pair of braces the ends of which, at the back or
upper part, are connected by means of a junction piece of suitable shape and
material and intended to keep the ends of the braces at a convenient distance from
each other, and in this fashion I avoid any crossing of the braces at the back whilst
firmly holding the two branches in position on the high part of the shoulders, the
junction piece being for that purpose placed in close proximity to the neck and
generally between the shoulder-plates. To this junction piece and at the lower
part of same are fixed two narrow strips or bands shaped and fastened in such a
way that when adjusted to the buttons of the trousers their lower ends are slightly
further apart than the upper ends which are sewn or otherwise firmly secured to
the junction plate.
Each of the free (front) ends of the braces is connected to a buckle which in its
turn is provided with three narrow bands similar to those used at the back, and
these three branches are of three different lengths and so arranged and adjusted
that the middle branch is the shortest and in a straight line with the brace, the
other two branches being in deviation from that line and in directions opposite to
each other. The outer branch of each of these two sets of three is slightly longer
than the inner one and is made to reach a button fixed on the trousers as nearly as
possible opposite the hip, whilst the inner branch is fastened by means of a button
placed inside the main brace and in somewhat closer proximity to the middle strip
than is the outer one. It results from the triangulations thus formed that the top
and bottom parts or ends of the braces are absolutely fast and in consequence
of this the braces hold the shirt front firmly in position at the same time pre-
venting the shirt from being pulled out of the garment as is the case with ordinary
braces.

ROBERT SCHREMER of 29 Great Titchfield Street in the City of London in
the County of Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-

page_text: described hereafter is also intended to prevent any slipping of the braces from the
shoulders thus presenting notable improvements on any similar article.
To attain this object I form a pair of braces the ends of which, at the back
or upper part, are connected by means of a junction piece of any suitable shape
and material (vide drawing marked letter A.) and intended to keep the ends of the
braces at a convenient distance from each other and in this fashion I avoid any
crossing of the braces at the back whilst firmly holding the two wider parts or
branches in position on the high part of the shoulders the junction piece being for
that purpose placed between the shoulder plates. To this junction piece and at the
lower part of same are fixed two narrow strips or bands shaped and fastened in
such a way that when adjusted to the buttons of the trowsers their lower ends are
further apart than the upper ends which are sewn or otherwise firmly secured to
the junction plate.
: Each of three front ends or branches of the brace is connected to a buckle, and
these three branches are of three different lengths and so arranged and adjusted
that the middle branch is the shortest and in a straight line with the brace, the
other two branches being in deviation from that line and in directions opposite to
each other. The inner branch of each of these two sets of three is slightly longer
than the outer one and is made to cross over to reach a button beyond the centre
button on the trowsers. The outer branch is slightly shorter than the inner branch
and is made to reach to a button fixed on the hip. The triangulations thus formed
results in the top and bottom parts or ends of the braces being balanced and the
braces hold the shirt front firmly in position at the same time preventing the shirt
from being pulled out of the garment as is the case with ordinary braces.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. The invention of the equilibrium in braces and the improvements in braces
in preventing the shirt to shift, move, or bag out of position and more especially
shirts worn for evening dress.
aud
2. The securing a better and more regular adjustment of the trowsers or
pants.
3. The preventing any slipping of the braces over the shoulders and altogether
the effecting of notable improvements on any similar article as shown in the design
sketch attached hereto.
