I, JULIUS WILHELM TEUFEL of Stuttgart German Empire but at present of
Royal Hotel Blackfriars in the City of London Manufacturer do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
According to this invention I form ladies breast improvers or pads of woven or
plated elastic open material such as thin split eane, or straw, or whalebone or horse
hair or wood or other fibre of the desired concave form and sometimes with a rim
inserted all round, I make these pads and other breast pads of a contour something
like that of an egg but more pointed at the narrow end, which latter inay ho turned
either upwards or to one side according to the deficiency of figure of the wearer.
Sometimes I make the pads with a lateral continuation as well as an upward con-
tinuation thus provided against the deficiency of figure in both directions. The cane
or other framework is lined with cotton flannel or other fabric inside and covered outside
with one or two layers of soft fabric to prevent the frame work from pressing through or
showing through and an outer cover of cotton silk or other suitable fabric. I provide
one or more eyelet holes in the middle or in other places for ventilation. These pads are
cool and pleasant for wear, preserve their shape, improve the figure better than those
heretofore made which often show an unsightly sunk part above or at the outer sides of the
breasts. As compared with the ordinary breast pads made of woven steel wire they
are absolutely safe and the dangerous accidents sometimes happening with the rusting
and consequent breaking of a steel wire and its entry in the Hesh are entirely
obviated.

page_text: I JULIUS WILHELM TEUFEL of Stuttgart, German Empire, but at present of
Royal Hotel, Blackfriars, in the City of London, 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:-
According to this invention I form ladies' breast improvers or pads of woven or
plaited elastic open material such as thin split cane or straw or whalebone or horse-
hair or wood or other fibro of the desired concave form and sometimes with a rim
inserted all round. I make these pads and other breast pads of a contour something
like that of an egg but more pointed at the narrow end, which latter may be turned
either upwards or to one side according to the deficiency of figure of the wearer.
Sometimes I make the pads with a lateral continuation as well as an upward con-
tinuation thus providing against the deficiency of figure in both directions. The cane
or other framework is lined with cotton, flannel or other fabric inside, and covered
outside with one or two layers of soft fabric to prevent the framework from pressing
through or showing through and an outer cover of cotton, silk or other suitable
fabric. I provide one or more eyelet holes in the middle or in other places for
ventilation. And inorder that my invention may be more easily understood I will
describe two forms of the same with reference to the accompanying drawings of
which Figure 1 is a front view of a breast improver or pad constructed according to
my invention with part of the outside fabric torn away and thus showing the woven
elastic open material and lining, and Figure 2 is a cross sectional elevation of same.
Figure 3 shows another form of pad in front elevation, Figure 4 being a side
elevation of same.
Referring to Figures 1 and 2 the breast improvers or pads are formed of open
woven or plaited elastic non-metallic material a such as thin split cane or straw or
whalebone or horsehair or wood or other fibrous or suitable elastic material of the
desired concave form. I make these pads of a contour something like that of an egg
but more pointed at the narrow end. The cane or other framework a is lined with
cotton, flannel or other fabric inside as shown with reference to Figure 2 and covered
outside with one or two layers of soft fabric to prevent the framework a from
pressing through or showing through and an outer cover d of cotton, silk or other
fabric. I provide one or more eyelet holes e in the middle as shown in Figures 1
and 2 and nearer the side as shown in Figures 3 and 4 or in other places for ventilation.
Figures 3 and 4 show another form of breast improver in which the highest part of
the same is somewhat to one side in the immediate vicinity of the eyelet 2. The

page_text: dotted lines show the position of the pad when worn so as to cover and improve the
unsightly sunk part of the bust at the outer side of the breast. These pads are cool and
pleasant for wear, preserve their shape, improve the figure better than those heretofore
made which often show an unsightly sunk part above or at the outer sides of the breasts.
As compared with the ordinary breast pads made of woven steel wire they are
absolutely safe and the dangerous accidents sometimes happening with the rusting and
consequent breaking of a steel wire and its entry in the flesh are entirely obviated.
Having now particularly described and described the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be described 1 declare that what I claim is
1. The application of a framework of non-metallic woven or plaited fibrous or
similar material to breast improvers or pads substantially as described.
2. A breast improver of the form shown.
