PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Suspending Devices for Gowns and other
Garments.
I, HILDEGARD BURKHARD, of 63 Theresienbad, Vienna XII in the Empire of
Austria, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to he as follows:-
My invention relates to a suspending device for gowns or similar garments to
prevent the soiling of the same in bad weather.
The improved suspender consists of a waist-band to which a number of supporting
bands are fastened. This fastening may be effected either by hooks provided on
the upper ends of the supporting bands and engaging either into slits or eyes ou the
inner side of the waist-band or in any other suitable manner.
At their lower ends the said supporting bands are provided with clamps
which consist of two spring jaws having upper and lower parts in order to
prevent the crumpling of the parts of the gown or garment held by the said
clamps, the fabric being engaged by the lower part.
In order to prevent the accidental disengagement of the fabric from the clamp
it is advisable to provide the edges of these clamps with rounded teeth engaging
with each other.
