page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Belt adapted for Cyclists, Gymnasts, and the like.
I, CHARLES TERRONT of Bayonne in the Department of the Basses Pyrenees,
France, Cycle Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to an improved belt which is particularly adapted for the .
use of cyclists when climbing hills, travelling against the wind, or wherever an
extra amount of force has to be exerted, though it is also adapted for gymnasts,
Alpine climbers, and athletes generally.
My improved belt consists of an inside belt or support of leather, webbing or
other suitable material upon which, and preferably parallel therewith is fixed a
smaller supplemental belt or belts. This additional belt preferably consists of two
short straps, one end of each of which is affixed to the main belt, preferably about
six to eight inches on either side of the spine, the other or loose ends buckling in
front. The second belt may be provided with a running link hook or the like
which may be attached to a swivel hook on some convenient part of the machine
when the belt is being used by a cyclist so as to obtain a purchase on same.
The construction of the belt enables a suitable support to be given to the
stomach without any injurious pressure, while it also affords great support to the
loins.
Dated this 15th day of November 1892.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Belt adapted for Cyclists, Gymnasts, and the like.
I, CHARLES TERRONT of Bayonne in the Department of the Basses Pyrenees,
France, Cycle Agent, 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 :-
My invention relates to an improved belt which is particularly adapted for the use
of cyclists when climbing hills, travelling against the wind, or wherever an extra
amount of force has to be exerted, though it is also adapted for gymnasts, Alpine
climbers, and athletes generally, as also for animal girths.
To clearly explain my invention reference is made the accompanying drawing
which represents a belt for cyclists constructed according to my invention. The
belt therein shown consists of an inside belt or support A of leather, webbing or
other suitable material, upon which, and preferably parallel therewith, is fixed a
smaller supplemental belt or belts B. B. This additional belt preferably consists of
two short straps, one end of each of which is affixed to the main belt at the
points B', B', which are preferably about six to eight inches on either side of the
ГР.

the back as shown at A', to afford a better support to same.
The second belt may
be provided with a running link, hook or the like C, which may be attached to a
swivel hook on some convenient part of the machine when the belt is being used by
a cyclist so as to obtain a purchase on same.
The construction of the belt enables a suitable support to be given to the
stomach without any injurious pressure, while it also affords great support to the
loins.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A belt or the like consisting of an inner belt or strap on which is secured a
second belt or belts, strap or straps, substantially as and for the purpose
described.
