upper and lower pockets or casings into and from which the ends of the busks and
steels or bones are inserted or withdrawn as required through openings left
between such upper and lower pockets. The busks are held in position by suitable
binders or tapes or their equivalents stitched or otherwise fastened to the fronts of

the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
According to this invention a corset is provided on the inside with an upper and
lower series of pockets or casings into and from which the ends of the busks
and steels or bones are inserted or withdrawn as required through openings left
between such upper and lower pockets or casings. The busks are held in position
by suitable binders or tapes or their equivalents stitched or otherwise fastened to

the upper and a' are the lower series of pockets or casings. bare the busks
and the steels or bones. care the binders which serve to hold the busks in
position.
I would here observe that I am aware that corsets have already been manu-
factured wherein the steels or bones were made removable although in a manner
different to that hereinbefore specified. I therefore make no claim broadly to
making corsets with removable steels or bones save in the manuer herein before
described and shewn and when used in conjunction with removable busks as
hereinbefore specified.
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. In a corset an upper and lower series of pockets or casings wherein the steels
or bones and also the busks can be inserted, and from whence they can be removed
all substantially as hereinbefore described and shewn.
2. Securing the busks of a corset in position when made removable by means of

page_text: suitable binders or tapes or their equivalents all substantially as hereinbefore
described and shewn.
3. As a new article of manufacture a corset wherein the busks together with the
steels or bones are made removable all substantially as hereinbefore described and
shewn.
