Improvements in Brace Ends.
I, FREDERICK FELDMANN, of 9, Foster Lane, in the City of London,
Manufacturers' Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a com-
munication to me by Wolf Rothschild, of Barmen, in the Empire of Germany,
Manufacturer,) and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention has for its object improvements in brace ends.
I make brace ends from braided cords of india-rubber and this I do by plaiting
the cords together in the following manner :-I first make a short length of narrow
plait and by doubling this upon itself I form the end or tail through which the
button passes; the button hole being closed at the top by plaiting all the ends of
the cords together into a broad plait of double the width of the original plait,
I continue this broad plait until the brace end is of a sufficient length and I then
secure the extremities of all the cords in a metal clip or by stitching or in some
other convenient way.
The top of the button hole may also be strengthened by a metal clip or by
stitching.
The accompanying drawing represents a brace end made according to this
invention.
a, a are the button holes of the brace end, each part of which is in this example
made from three elastic cords b, b, b. The cords are flat and each consist of two
threads of india-rubber braided together. These three cords are first plaited at
about the middle of their length sufficiently to form the button hole a and the six
remaining ends are then plaited together to form the broad part. The loose ends
of the cords are then sewn in a piece of fabric c to which the brace-buckle dis
attached; e, e are the metal clips which I may employ for strengthening the tops
of the button holes a.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner. the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
'
1. A brace end made by plaiting a number of cords at about the middle part of
their length and then plaiting all the ends together and securing them, substantially
as hereinbefore described.
2. A. brace end made substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated in
the accompanying drawing.
