An improved Coat Suspender.
I, ALBERT WILLIAM PYKE, of 22 Bishopsgate Street, Without, London, E.C.,
Tailor do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to provide an improved suspender for coats and
other garments which is durable, strong and easily fixed.
The ordinary method of suspending garments is by means of tapes, or bands
sewn to the garments. These tapes are liable to wear away in time and break
asunder when the garments are hung up, letting them fall to the ground, besides
which having no rigid base, the garment itself is pulled out of shape and often
torn away at the sewn joints of the tapes.
In order to carry out this my invention I provide a metal plate of suitable
any
metal. This plate is rectangular in shape and preferably with radial sides. At
each of the two upper angles or corners I provide a hole in the plate to receive
the ends of a chain or other convenient appliance for suspending the garment.
I fasten the plate to the coat or garment by means of tongues or projections
which are punched and bent from the metal plate at suitable positions till they are
at right angles to the surface of the plate, and which are formed preferably by the
same process which stamps or forms the plates.
These projections or tongues are pointed at the ends, and by comparatively
little pressure are forced through the material of the coat and the projecting ends
are then bent over, and into the surface of the material, and thus the plate is
securely fixed to the coat.

I, ALBERT WILLIAM PYKE, of 22 Bishopsgate Street Without, London, E.C.,
Tailor, 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:-
The object of this invention is to provide an improved suspender for coats and
other garments which is durable, strong and easily fixed.
The ordinary method of suspending garments is by means of tapes or bands sewn
to the garments. These tapes are liable to wear away in time and break asunder

In order to carry out this my invention I provide a plate made of suitable
metal. This plate is of an elongated rectangular shape, and preferably with radial
sides and is also by preference slightly bent in the case of those suspenders used
for hanging coats, so as to fit to the collar of the coat.
Along the upper edge of the plate at convenient distances apart I provide
two holes to receive the ends of a chain or other convenient appliance for
suspending the garment.

punched and bent from the plate at suitable positions till they are at right angles
to the surface of the plate, and which are formed preferably by the same process
which stamps or forms the plates.
These projections or tongues are pointed at the ends and by comparatively little
pressure are forced through the material of the coat or garment and the projecting
ends are then bent over and into the surface of the material and thus the plate is
securely fixed to the coat.
I do not however confine myself to this particular method of securing the
suspender to the garment as any convenient means of attachment may be adopted,
for instance the plate may be provided with holes at convenient positions so that
it may be sewn to the garment.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood I will describe the same
with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 represents a view of the coat suspender provided with tongues or
projections formed from the metal of the plate. A being the plate, B the suspending
chain, C the tongues or projections. Fig. 2 is a sectional plan of the same, shewing
the method of fastening the plate to the garment D by bending the tongues or
projections over and into the material of the garment as shewn at E E E.
Fig. 3 represents a view of the suspender shewing an alternative method herein
before mentioned, of fastening the plate to the garment by sewing or other means,
by the holes F. Fig. 4 is a plan of the same.
The surface of the metal plate may be utilised for the purpose of displaying
name of owner or maker, or for advertisement or other similar requirement.
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 provision of an improved suspender for coats and other garments
substantially as herein set forth and described and illustrated by the accompanying
drawings.
