A New or Improved Suspender for Ladies' Use.
, FREDA MOLONY of Ferndale Grosvenor Road, Rathgar, Dublin 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 :-
This invention relates to an improved suspendor for ladies' use, and has for its
object to provide a supple and convenient arrangement which can be regulated to
any required length, and which keeps the shirt from falling or dipping from under
the belt or bodice, and for keeping it from twisting round and getting out of
position.
In carrying out my invention I employ two bands of any suitable textile material,
connected together, a short distance from one end, by a small cross piece.
To each end of these bands peculiar kinds of safety pins are attached
These pins
are made of one piece of brass wire, pointed at both ends and having a brass plate
towards the centre, forming a fasten, the points at both ends of wire admit of being
slipped in and out of this fusten.
The bands to which these pins are attached are also provided in front with a buckle
or clip, by means of which the said bands can be regulated to any required length.
For muddy weather there is an extension, consisting of two cords, mohair or
otherwise, each cord provided at one end with a safety look, and at the other, with
a safety pin-the latter similar to those above mentioned.
