PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements relating to Combination Trouser and Pant Supports.
I, FREDERICK JAMES WOLLEN, of 43 Elmsdale Road, Walthamstow,
Warehouseman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
This invention has for object, certain improvements relating to combination
trouser and pant supports.
For the purpose of my invention, I employ a cord, or its equivalent with button
hole ends made by folding the cord, and fixing the folded parts by clips, or I may
affix loops to the cord.
The cord is folded with one end longer than the other, and the folded portion
can be made to serve as a loop for connection with the pants, or it may have a
hook affixed, or a metal piece can be attached, and be bent up to form a hook.
The cord is rove over small wheels or rollers held by a plate, or between two
plates of the buckle, or adjustable piece to be attached to the webbing, or leather
constituting the braces, or instead of rollers, curved tubes can be arranged for the
cord ends to slide in.
By this invention, the strain is relieved from the trousers by the loop of the
pants, and that on the pants by the pull of the trousers from the various motions of
the body while the article is in wear.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements relating to Combination Trouser and Pant Supports.
I, FREDERICK JAMES WOLLEN, of 43 Elmsdale Road, Walthamstow,
Warehouseman do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :-
This invention has for object, certain improvements relating to combination
trouser and pant supports.
For the purpose of my invention and as represented in the annexed drawings, I
employ a cord A elastic or not or its equivalent, with button hole ends B, C, made
by folding the cord A and fixing the folded parts by clips D, or I may affix loops
to the cords.
The cord A is folded with one end longer than the other, and the folded portion
can be made to serve as a loop E for connection with the pants, or it may have a
hook F affixed, see Figure 1, or a metal piece G can be attached and be bent up to
form a hook, see Figure 2.
The cords A are rove over small wheels H or rollers held by a plate, as in
Figure 1, or between two plates I, J, through pipes K of the buckle or adjustable
piece to be attached to the webbing or leather constituting the braces, as shown in
Figure 2; or instead of rollers, curved tubes can be arranged for the cord ends to
slide in.

page_text: Figure 3 represents a pair of trousers and pants support applied to the person,
the pant support being held in position ready for hooking on.
Figure 4 is an end view of the roller H and frame.
By this invention, the strain is relieved from the trousers by the loop of the
pants, and that on the pants by the pull of the trousers from the various motions of
the body while the article is in wear, and in the event of a trouser button breaking,
the cord will not leave the rollers or guides by reason of the folded portion between
them engaging a roller or guide. The pants are always held up efficiently by the
weight of the trousers causing a slight tension of the cord and: hook.
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 improvements relating to combination trouser and pants support; as-
described and substantially as shown on the annexed 'drawings.
