Improvements in the Manufacture of Braces or Trousers Suspenders.
I WILLIAM EDWARD CARRINGTON, of Stockport in the county of Chester, Hat
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the manufacture of braces from felt whereby the body part
of the braces is made from one piece, no sewing or stitching is required for attaching
the buckles or other fastenings to the brace ends and the edges of the button holes of
both body part and ends are formed in the manufacture without sewing or stitching.
In carrying out my invention I form the wool or other felting material (from which
the felt is to be made) into the form of the braces and brace ends with the slits or cuts
for the button holes and then felt the wool in the ordinary manner by which means I
obtain a natural felted or hard or tough edge to the braces and to the button holes.
The buckle or other fastening is felted into the brace end or otherwise made to adhere
without stitching.
By this improved mode of manufacture I am enabled to produce strong braces or
trousers suspenders at a low cost, my improved braces being otherwise as good as the
more expensive class of braces manufactured in the ordinary manner.
Dated the 7th day of June 188r.

I WILLIAM EDWARD CARRINGTON of Stockport in the county of Chester, Hat
Manufacturer 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 the manufacture of braces from felt whereby the body part
of the braces is made from one piece, no sewing or stitching is required for attaching
the buckles or other fastenings to the brace ends and the edges of the button holes of
both body part and ends are formed in the manufacture without sewing or stitching.
In carrying out my invention I form the wool or other felting material (from which
the felt is to be made) into the form of the braces and brace ends with the slits or cuts
for the button holes and then felt the wool in the ordinary manner by which means I
obtain a natural felted or hard or tough edge to the braces and to the button holes.
The buckle or other fastening is felted into the brace end or otherwise made to adhere
without stitching. Or I proceed in the same manner with partly felted material.
By this improved mode of manufacture I am enabled to produce strong braces or
trousers suspenders at a low cost, my improved braces being otherwise as good as the
more expensive class of braces manufactured in the ordinary manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
1. The improved braces or trousers suspenders manufactured from felted or partly
felted material in the manner substantially as hereinbefore described.
