LEOPOLD CHAMBERS CLAMPETT Warehouseman with the firm of
Messieurs Charles Macintosh and Company Limited of Cambridge Street
Manchester in the County of Lancaster India Rubber Manufacturers do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates principally to means for suspending coats, cloaks capes and
other similar garments made froin waterproof fabrics, but it is also applicable to
suspenders for coats or garments made from other materials.
first take a piece of ordinary metal chain about four inches in length (more or
less) and unite the two ends together so as to form an endless loop. I then bore a
small hole through the lining of the collar and selecting one link of the chain loop
I pass it through this hole so that it projects through the back of the lining and
through this link I then pass two narrow strips of metal, and opening the strips out
into a cruciform shape I cement the lining and the collar of the garment together
whereby the strips are held firmly in the position shown and at the same time
concealed from sight, and the chain loop is thus securely fixed in the collar of the
garment.
By thus attaching the chain loop to the inside of the collar of the garment by
one point of attachment only the form or set of the collar is not injuriously affected
even though the coat or garment may remain suspended for a long time.
In cases where it is desired to attach this chain loop or suspender to a coat or
garment not made of waterproof material the collar and lining may be stitched
together over or around the two strips, instead of or as well as, being cemented so
as to hold them firmly in place.
It is obvious that the same kind of suspender may also be attached to other
parts of a garment instead of to the collar if preferred.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Suspender for Coats and other Garments.
I LEOPOLD CHAMBERS CLAMPETT Warehouseman with the firm of
Messieurs Charles Macintosh and Company Limited of Cambridge Street
Manchester in the County of Lancaster India Rubber Manufacturers 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 :-
This invention relates principally to means for suspending coats, cloaks, capes
and other similar garments made from waterproof fabrics, but it is also applicable to
suspenders for coats or garments made from other materials.
The nature of my invention will be readily understood on reference to the
sheet of drawings hereunto annexed and the following explanation thereof.
I first take a piece of ordinary oval linked metal chain of about four inches in
length (more or less) and 1 unite the ends together so as to form an endless
loop as shown at Fig. 1 on the drawings, or take a piece of this chain or of a
curb or other suitable chain and 1 unite the ends together by a ring as shown
at a Fig. 2.

page_text: I then bore a small hole through the lining of the collar (Fig. 3) and selecting
one link of the chain loop (or the ring a) I pass it through the hole so that it
projects through the back of the lining (as shown at Fig. 3); and through the
link or the ring a.
I then pass two narrow strips of metal c and opening the strips out into a
cruciform shape (as shown at Fig. 4) I cement the lining and the collar of the
garment together, whereby the strips are held firmly in the position shown and at
the same time concealed from sight, and the chain loop is thus securely fixed in the
collar of the garment as seen at Fig. 5.
In some cases instead of the metal stripe employ wire fasteners in the form
shown at Fig. 6 and after passing the ends together through the link or ring a I
open them out as shown at Fig. 7: and for very heavy garments I also propose
to use a metal plate in addition to this fastener.
By thus attaching the chain loop to the inside of the collar of the garment by
one point, of attachment only the form or set of the collar is not injuriously affected
even though the coat or garment may remain suspended for a long time.
In cases where it is desired to attach this chain loop or suspender to a coat or
garment not made of waterproof material, the collar and lining may be stitched
together over or around the two strips or other fasteners employed instead of,
or as well as, being cemented, so as to hold them firmly in place.
It is obvious that the same kind of suspender may also be attached to other parts
of a garment instead of to the collar if preferred.
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 :-
The improved suspender for coats or other garments consisting of an endless chain
loop fixed to the garment by one point of attachment only substantially in the
manner hereinbefore described and illustrated by the drawings annexed.
