COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Suspenders for Coats, Vests, and Trowsers.
I, JOHANNES KRETH of Holbergsgade 15, Copenhagen, in the Kingdom of
Denmark, 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 improvements in suspenders for coats, vests and trowsers.
In order that it and the best means for carrying it into effect may be thoroughly
understood, I will describe it in detail referring in so doing to the accompanying
figures which are to be taken as part of this Specification and read therewith.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation.
Fig. 2 is a plan omitting the hook by which the suspender is hung.
Fig. 3 is an end elevation illustrating the double button holder.
The suspender is made preferably of iron or steel wire, but my invention does not
confine me to the use of any particular material.
a, a are wires or rods together constituting the coat holder and 6 is the hook by
which the suspender is hung up. Both these parts are of the same construction as
heretofore or they may be of any convenient type.
d is one of the novel features of the present invention. It is adapted for con-
nection to the part a, a by means of an eye c at one end and a hook e at the other
and constitutes the trowser-suspender. h, are vertical indentations at one end of
the bar d, producing between them recesses adapted to receive the strap on the back
of the trowsers, as indicated by the dotted lines of Fig. 1.
fis the button holder. It is hung from the eye c by a link or ring g and receives
the front buttons after the manner indicated in Fig. 3.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
--
1. A combined holder for coats, vests and trowsers, either, or all, or any of them,
consisting of a part a for hanging the coat upon having at one of its ends both a
smaller piece, for the reception of the trowsers buttons, and a rod d, the free end
of which, can be hooked into the opposite end of the coat-holder a, this rod being
provided with indentations h, h, between which the loop or strap of the trowsers
may be introduced.
2. In a combined holder for coats, vests and trowsers, either, or all, or any of
them, as claimed in the preceding claim, the employment of hooks instead of the
rod d, which hooks are attached to the ends of the coat-holder a, at the end opposite
to that at which the button holder is attached, the loop or strap of the trowsers
being inserted into them.
3. The manufacture of the combined holder for coats, vests and trowsers, either
or all or any of them, claimed in the first claim, embodying the combination of the
coat-suspender a and the rod or trowser suspender d, the devices cand e by which
the said suspenders are converted and the button holder f, as set forth.
