An Attachment for Retaining Shirt Fronts in Position.
We WILLIAM EDWARD SCHWIESO of 41 Westbourne Terrace Engineer and
SAVILLE HOWE THORPE of 117 Westbourne Grove, Hosier, both of Bayswater,
London, 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 supply a simple means of keeping the lower
part of shirt fronts in position when in use and to prevent the same from becoming
creased or bent into an uncomfortable position either by the movement of the body
or by contact with the top front part of the trousers.
For this purpose we make a belt or band of one or more pieces sufficiently long
and to fit almost or quite round the body. The length of the belt or band can
be varied by means of sliding clips or other arrangement.
This belt or band is attached preferably near its centre by means of a clip or if
preferred by a button, stud, loop or the like to the top or near the top back part
of the trousers.
The two ends of the belt are brought round to the front of the

page_text: body and each is secured in like manner to the edge of or the lower part of the
shirt front.
The belt or band can be attached in one or more places to the trousers and in
any convenient position on the same.
The ends of the belt or band may be joined and attached to the shirt front or
they may be attached to the same separately.
The belt or band can be made of any suitable material such as tape, web, elastic
and the like or a combination of the same and provided with tags or loops as
desired.
We will now describe the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings
in which,
Figs. 1 and 2 show the invention in use and Fig. 3 shows the invention
detached.
The belt or band consists of two pieces a which can be lengthened or shortened
as desired by means of the adjustable sliding clips b.
One end of each of these pieces a, passes through a ring c, and is then connected
to the clips b, referred to above. The other end of each is connected to a suitable
clip d, for holding the lower part of the shirt front in position. To the ring c,
there is connected preferably by means of a short loop a suitable clip d¹, for
attaching to the top part of the back of the trousers.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
:-
A belt or band fitted with clips or the like for attaching the front of a shirt to
the trousers to keep the front in position as herein described and set forth.
