PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvement in Braces or Brace Fittings.
JOHN HENRY BRIERLEY 51 Aldermanbury London E.C. Agent do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
I take two plates of brass metal about ths wide and about two inches long.
I form in one plate a few eylets (or raised portions resembling eylets in shape)
and in the other plate I form eylets only of such size as they can be passed into
the eylets previously formed in the other plate. I make use of the two outer
eylets in each plate as follows. I cut a hole in the end of two army straps and
into each hole I place eylets taking care that they are of such size as I can place
the eylet over the larger eylet on the metal plate. I then place these straps one
upon each outside cylet and taking the he plate pass it into the she plate and by
means of an eyleting press secure the two metal plates together thus having one
strap at each end secured betwixt the two plates-these eylets thus act as pivots
upon which the straps work. The centre eylet I use by passing a pin through it
and also through the leather strap which has been previously secured to the buckle
so as to attach the entire to the brace. These straps I may X as provided for in a
recent patent of mine.
Dated this 21st day of November 1890.

1 JOHN HENRY BRIERLEY Agent and Manufacturer of 51 Aldermanbury City
of London 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 :-
I take two brass metal plates about three cights of an inch wide and about two
inches long. I form in one plate a few eylets or mixed portions resembling eyelets
in shape. In the other plate I form a few eylets or raised portions only of such
size as that they can be passed into the cylets previously formed in the other plate.
Two of these cylets I make use of in the following manner. I cut a hole in the end
of two army straps and into each hole I place ordinary eylets, taking care they
are of such size as I can place the cylet over the larger or she eylet on the metal
plate. I then place the eyleted straps upon the she eylets and taking the he
eyleted plate pass it into the she plate and by means of an eyleting press secure
the two metal plates together-thus having one strap at each end secured betwixt
the two plates these eylets thus act as pivots upon which the straps work. The
center eylets I use by passing a pin through it and also through a leather strap
which has been previously secured to the buckle so as to attach the entire to the
bracc or I form a hole in a portion of the buckle pass he and the she center
eylet through it at the same as I place the leather straps on the outer eylets-secure
the whole to the buckle by eyleting the he and she plates together.
It will thus be seen that I make use of the two outside combined he and she
eylets as pivots upon which the straps rest and the centre he and she eylet as a
fulcrum upon which the trousers are suspended allowing free motion to each
movement of the body.
In order more fully to make known the nature of my said invention

page_text: Drawings BB show section and transverse section of she plate.
Drawings C C C C show buckle he and she plates and fittings secured together
by the eyleting press as before described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is
1st I claim The forming of he & she cylets in metal plates and securing the two
together as already described and applying the same to braces so as to give greater
durability and ease to the wearer.
