Improvements in Drawers or Pants.
I, IGNACZ FRISCH, of Kerepesi-út 50 Budapest, in the Empire of Austria-
Hungary, Merchant do hereby declare the naturo of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to drawers or pants with an adjustable front closing
device.
These improved drawers are similar in shape to usual drawers and only differ
from the latter by the arrangement of their upper edge, in as far as the buttoning
and adjustment of the closing device is effected independently of each other.
For this purpose the drawers are provided with the usual buttons and button
holes or with fastening devices, by the aid of which they are buttoned or fastened
respectively. Moreover the top seam is turned down on both sides so as to form
a bow, from the front orifice or opening of which a tongue projects. The bow
may be either opened or closed at the back so that accordingly the tongue is either
fastened behind the bow and drawn through the rear opening or orifice or the said
tongue is fixed in the interior of the bow.
The bow may also be replaced by loops provided at certain intervals across the
top of the tongue. In front of the orifice several buttons are arranged, by means
of which the tongue is, according to the closing space, buttoned toward the front
or toward the back. These buttons may be replaced by other fastening devices
and it does not in any way alter the essential feature of the invention, if the front
extremities of the tongues are not buttoned or fastened on to the drawers but on
to each other.

I, IGNÁCZ FRISCH, of Kerepesi-út 50, Budapest, in the Empire of Austria-.
Hungary, Merchant, 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 to drawers or pants with an adjustable front closing
device, which is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device made according to this invention and
Figure 2 is a front view of the same.
These improved drawers or pants are similar in shape to usual drawers, and
solely differ from the latter by the arrangement of their closing tie or band,

page_text: innsmu as the operations of buttoning and adjusting the closing device are
effected independently of each other.
The closing tie or band of drawers of this kind is provided with the ordinary
kind of buttons and button holes or other fastening devices, by the aid of which
they are buttoned or otherwise fastened as the case may be. In addition to tliese
buttoning or fastening devices the closing tic or band is provided at each side with
a bow or loop; into each of these bows a tonguo c is inserted, one extremity of
which projects from its opening b. The bow may bo oither open or closed at the
back, and the tongue e may accordingly be either fastened behind the bow and
drawn in through the rear opening or orifice a, or the said tongue is suitably
fastened to the interior of the bow.
The how may also be replaced by loops arranged at certain intervals across
the tongue. In front of the orifice (b) several buttons d d are arranged, by means
of which the tongue (c) is buttoned according to the closing space. These buttous
may also be replaced by other fastening devices and it does not in any way alter
the feature of this invention, whether the front extremities of the tongues care
buttoned or fastened respectively to the drawers or onto each other.
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 :-
An improved adjustable closing device for drawers or pants having the
characteristic feature, that upon each front side of the drawer a bow () is
arranged through which a tongue (c), fixed to the rear opening a of each bow,
is drawn, so as to enable the said tongues to be buttoned or otherwise fastened
either to the drawer or onto each other.
