Improvements in Trousers and Overalls.
.
I, MAX FRAENKEL, Manufacturer, of 44246 Decatur Street New Orleans, State
of Louisiana, United States of America, do hereby declare the nature of my inven-
tion for IMPROVEMENTS IN TROUSERS AND OVERALLS 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 trousers and the novelty will be fully understood from the
following description & claims when taken in connection with the accompanying
drawings in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a pair of overalls constructed
according to my invention.
Figure 2 is a plan view of the right front leg.
Figure 3 is a similar view of the left front leg or leg section.
Figure 4 is a plan view of one of the back leg sections.
Figure 5 is a similar view of the other back leg section, and,
Figure 6 is a detail vertical sectional view.
In carrying out my invention I take cloth of a sufficient size and cut there from
the back leg sections, which may be of the ordinary form and in outline of the con-
figuration substantially as shown in figures 4 and 5 then cut the front leg sections B,
and A, as shown in Figures 2 and 3 and slit the same at their adjacent edges a, in the
direction of their length from the point b, to c, so as to form strips D and D¹. The
strip D, of the right front leg is designed to be carried across the crotch on the inner
side of the strip of the left front leg and form the inner end of the button hole fly.
The inner upper edges of the left front leg section is folded on the dotted lines at d,
and turned inwardly upon the main body and properly stitched, the strip D¹ being
folded upon itself from the crotch, and thence carried upwardly to form the outer
wall of the button hole fly, the strip D, of the right front leg section being carried
parallel with the strip of the left front leg section and stitched together to form the
opposite or inner wall of the said button hole fly.
E, is a reenforcing strip which extends from the waist band of the right front
leg section down the inner side of the portion F, of the right front leg section and
from the crotch is carried up between the inner and outer walls of the button hole
fly on the opposite leg, the button holes being cut through it. This reenforcing
strip E, may extend from the waist band of the right leg section along its strip D,
the entire length so as to be carried up to the waist band of the left leg section, but
in some cases it is simply necessary to carry it beyond the third button hole in the
fly its object being to reinforce and strengthen the crotch and at the same time
increase the strength of the button holes.
The sections that is the back and front sections have seams, and are sewed together
in the usual manner the object being to provide strength & durability at the crotch and
the flies of the trousers.
Having described my invention, what I claim is-
In overalls, the combinations with the back leg sections, of the front leg sections,
each having a tongue or longitudinal strip on their adjacent inner sides, the strip
of the right front leg section extending across the crotch and up the inner side of
the left leg section folded at the crotch and carried upwardly with the strip of the
opposite leg to form the outer wall of the button hole fly and a reinforcing strip

page_text: extending across the notch and having one branch secured between the walls of the
button hole fly and the opposite branch secured to the inner wall of the button fly-
substantially as specified.
