PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with Braces or Suspenders.
I, WOLF ROTHSCHILD, of Barmen, in the Empire of Germany, Manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to braces, the ends of which are cach made double and
adapted to run over separate rollers or bars arranged one above the other.
Heretofore each of such double ends has been composed of two separate bands or
strips of material united at their ends by the tabs or portions in which the button
holes are formed.
:
According to my invention each end has only a single band or strip which, at its
central portion is divided longitudinally and in practice I prefer to form such
division during the process of weaving one side of the divided portion of the band
being of slightly greater length than the other so that the two parts of the divided
portion may run over the rollers which are at different heights.
With this construction it is necessary to provide for introducing the upper roller
after the brace end is in position and this I advantageously accomplish by forming
upon the frame carrying the rollers two lugs or projections which after the roller is
placed in position may be bent or otherwise inserted into the ends of the roller
which is hollow to form bearings for the same.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with Braces or Suspenders.
I, WOLF ROTHSCHILD, of Barmen, in the Empire of Germany, Manufacturer,
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:
My invention relates to braces, the ends of which are adapted to run over rollers
or bars arranged one above the other. Heretofore each of such ends has been
composed of two separate bands or strips of material united at their ends by the
tabs or portions in which the button holes are formed.
According to my invention each end has only a single band or strip which, at its
central portion is divided longitudinally and in practice I prefer to form such
division during the process of weaving, one side of the divided portion of the band
being of slightly greater length than the other so that the two parts of the divided
portion may run over the rollers which are at different heights.
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawing, in which:-
11
Figure 1 is a view of a brace-end made in accordance with my invention; and,
Figure 2 is a view of the metallic frame carrying the rollers for the brace end.
a indicates the brace-end which at the central part is divided as at b so as to form
at this part the two bands c, d. e is the metallic frame to which the shoulder
straps of the braces are connected and which is provided with rollers fg over
which the parts c, d of the brace-end respectively pass.
As hereinbefore stated I preferably form the parts c, d during the process of
roller
weaving and in practice make the part d which passes over the upper 9,
of

page_text: slightly greater length than the part e to allow for the difference in the heights
of the rollers and g. The brace-end is passed through the lower part of the
frame e before the roller g is introduced, the said roller g being finally fixed in
position with the part d above it.
The upper roller y may be held in position by any desirable means; in practice,
however, I find it advantageous to form upon the frame e two lugs or projections h, h
which, after the roller g (which is hollow) is placed in position, may be bent or
otherwise inserted into the ends of the roller so as to form bearings for the same.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that
what I claim is :-
1. The improvements connected with braces or suspenders having single ends
divided longitudinally into two parts, each of which is adapted to run over a
separate roller, substantially as described.
2. In braces or suspenders having ends divided longitudinally as described, the
construction of the roller carrying frame substantially in the manner described
by reference to Figure 2 of the drawing, whereby the upper roller can be fixed in
position.
3. The manufacture and use of braces or suspenders having ends constructed
substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawing.
