COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Means for Displaying Trousers.
I AUGUSTUS BYRON late of No. 48 London Street, Rose Hill, Derby now of
No. 47 Bevington Road, Aston Park Birmingham in the County of Warwickshire
Merchant Taylor 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 means of displaying trousers. The object of
the invention is to improve the appearance of trousers hanging in tailors' shops or
show rooms by setting out the bottoms of the legs to any required shape and to
insure the shape being retained.
For this purpose I provide the adjustable metal block illustrated by the accompanying
drawing.
The parts A and B may be moulded to any required form according to the shape
desired for the trousers bottom.
They are connected by the links C and D and are held apart at the base by means
of the rack E hinged at G to the part A and engaging with the crossbar H on the
part B.
When the rack E is disengaged from the crossbar H the two parts A and B may
be closed together, in this manner they may be introduced into the trousers-bottom
and adjusted to the required position in which they may be held securely by the
rack E retained by the crossbar H by the elastic force of the stretched trousers
bottom.
Such adjustable blocks may conveniently be made of tinned iron plate or similar
sheet metal but they may if desired be made of wire work.
I find the use of the rack E and crossbar H to be the simplest and most convenient
arrangement for separating and retaining the adjustable parts A and B in position
but it is obvious that for this purpose a screw or a spring may be substituted for the
rack.
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. Displaying trousers having the bottoms of the legs set to the required form by
means of inserted adingtable blocka

page_text: 2. The adjustable block for insertion in trousers bottoms for the purpose of
displaying and retaining any desired shape substantially as described and illustrated
by the accompanying drawing.
