This Invention, which relates to improvements in drawers for men, women and
children, has for its object to protect and keep warm the abdomen without the
additional employment of the bands or their equivalents hitherto frequently used
or wound round the body to protect that part of the frame
The Invention consists in forming on drawers at the front part or "fly," where
the ends of the band are buttoned or otherwise fastened together, two flaps or
lengthened pieces which, when the two ends of the band are brought together,
over-lap aud so form a double covering or layer of woolen or other stuff over
the whole surface of the abdomen by which that part of the body is thoroughly
protected and kept warm without the use of additional wraps bands or equivalent
coverings.
The double parts are fastened together so as to prevent them from wrinkling or
creasing by a series of buttons hooks or their equivalents.

The said Invention, which relates to improvements in drawers for men women
and children, has for its object to protect and keep warm the abdomen without the
additional employment of the bands or their equivalents hitherto frequently used
or wound round the body to protect that part of the frame.
As shewn by figures 1 and 2 on the Sheet of drawings annexed hereto the said
Invention consists in forming on drawers at the front part or "fly" where the
ends of the band are buttoned or otherwise fastened together two flaps or
lengthened pieces A, B, which when the two ends of the band are brought
together over-lap and so form a double covering or layer of woolen or other stuff
over the whole surface of the abdomen whereby that part of the body is thoroughly
protected and kept warın without the use of additional wraps bands or equivalent
coverings.
The double parts are fastened together so as to prevent them from wrinkling
or creasing by a series of buttons hooks or their equivalents as shewn on the
drawings. The letters A', B', indicate the points between which the stuff is
double but the length of the flaps A and B may be varied as indicated at figures
1 and 3.
Figure 4 represents a pair of drawers for females.
Having now described and particularly ascertained the nature of the said
Invention as communicated to me by my Correspondents what is considered to be
novel and original, and is therefore claimed as the Invention secured to me by the
hereinbefore in part recited Letters Patent is.
Drawers for men women and children having lengthened closing flaps A, B,
which when buttoned up or otherwise secured cover, with a double layer of woolen
or other stuff the whole abdomen substantially as and for the purpose described
with reference to the drawings annexed hereto.
In Witness Whereof I the said George Macaulay-Cruikshank have hereunto
set my hand and seal this fifth day of October in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and eighty three.
