PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Corset Busk Protector.
I, RICHARD JAMES PAUL of 14 Addle Street, London E.C., Importer, (a
communication to me by Gustave Carcant, Rue Saint Martin, Paris, Bask
Manufacturer) do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
The object of my invention is to provide a protective device for the busks of
corsets of every description which shall serve to strengthen the ordinary busks and
form a preventative safeguard against their being broken or becoming deranged
whilst the corset is being worn or when being adapted to the person of the wearer.
The busk protector according to my invention also presents amongst other
additional advantages the one of avoiding the risk of any pinching which is likely
to occur, when, without my improvement the two edges of the corset busks are
brought too suddenly or violently together.
In carrying out my invention I make use of a detachable protective strip of any
suitable material, say, for instance, spring steel, attached by a convenient number
of clips or any other suitable device to one of the meeting sides of the two corset
busks, so as to allow of the ready removal and replacement of the busk protector
when required. Said busk protector may be covered with linen or any other
covering suitable to the style of corset to which my invention is applied. And,
also, as will be readily understood one of the busk protectors according to my
invention may be used for several corsets.
Dated this 31st day of December 1891.
