I, ALEXANDER MELVILLE CLARK, of the firm of A. M. and Wm. Clark, of
53, Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex, Fellow of the Institute of Patent
Agents, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "AN IMPROVED
ABDOMINAL OR. OTHER BELT OR BAND FOR WEAR," a communication to me from.
abroad by Moise Maintenay of Saint Fuscien près Amiens (Somme) France, Belt
manufacturer, to be as follows:-
My Invention relates to an improved abdominal or other belt or band for wear,.
and has for its object to enable the belt to be drawn more or less tightly without
causing folds or creases.
The Invention consists in an arrangement of tapes or laces and eyelets whereby
the ends of the belt may be caused to overlap more or less as required. Each of
the overlapping ends or parts of the belt has attached to its extremity one or more
(preferably two) laces or tapes which are led through corresponding eyelets in the
other or opposite part of the belt the sets of eyelets being situated at such a
distance from the respective extremities as to admit of the ends overlapping to the
extent required for the desired adjustment of the belt.
The laces of the inner most or under-lapping end or part pass outwards through
a single set of eyelets in the other part whilst the laces of the outermost or,
overlapping end or part pass inwards through a first set of eyelets and outwards
again through a second set of eyelets in the other part of the belt to admit of
the laces being secured by tyeing together after drawing the belt as tight as
required.

53, Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex, Fellow of the Institute of Patent
Agents, do hereby declare the nature of this Invention (a communication to me
from abroad by Moise Maintenay of Saint Fuscien près Amiens (Somme) France,
Belt manufacturer), 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 an improved abdominal or other belt or band for wear
and has for its object to enable the belt to be drawn more or less tightly without
causing folds or creases.
The Invention consists in an arrangement of tapes or laces and eyelets whereby
the ends of the belt may be caused to overlap more or less as required.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings figure 1 of which
represents a front view of the belt in the slackened or unfastened position.
Figure 2 is a corresponding edge view of the belt. Figure 3 is a similar view of
the belt tightened by the ends being drawn one over the other without creases or
folds. A is the belt or band made of any suitable material to the cuds a, b, of
which are attached one or more (preferably two) tapes or laces a¹, 61, which are led
through corresponding eyelets a³, 63, in the opposite ends of the belt the sets of
eyelets being situated at such a distance from the respective extremities as to admit
of the ends a, b, overlapping to the extent required for the desired adjustment of
the belt.
The laces 61, of the innermost or under-lapping end or part b, pass outwards
through a single set of eyelets a³, in the other part whilst the laces a¹, of the
outermost or overlapping end or part a, pass inwards through a first set of
eyelets, and outwards again through a second set of eyelets 6s, in the other
part b of the belt to admit of the laces being secured by tying together at back
after drawing the belt as tight as required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
An abdominal or other belt or band for wear provided with laces or tapes and
eyelets so arranged as to enable the ends of the belt or band to be drawn more or
less tightly one over the other without creases or folds as hereinbefore described
and represented in the drawings.
