SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 418,615, dated December 3, 188 9.
Application filed March 28, 1B89. Serial No. 305093. (In Ipecin enm) i .To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that LJonx'llonnns, of Boston, county of Sutlolk, and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Knitted Supporters, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like letters on the drawings representing like parts.
This invention has for its object. the production of an improved supporter for bicycleriders, base-ball players, and athletes.
Prior to my invention supporters have been made from cloth cut into different shapes, and elasticity has been given to such supporters by means of elast ie eording, straps, &c.
In my etlforts to provide a sung-fitting supporter having elasticity, so as fit the person snugly, I have produced a supporter composed of knitted fabric tln-oughout, the said supporter having oneend open to lit the body at the waist, and having below it tapering sections and two openings for the passage of the legs."
My invention therefore consists in a supporter composed of'aknitted fabrie,the supporter having a tubular body portion to embrace the hips, back, and abdomen, and having connected tapering selvagc-edge tabs, which joined together are extended between the legs to form a supporter. t
supporterembodying my invention; Fig. 2, a right-hand edge view of the supporter shownin Fig. 1. Fig. 3,ona smaller scale, shows the supporter applied; and Fig. -i, on a reduced scale, shows the knitted web laid out at or not joined at the sides of the hips, the part to extend between the legs being without seam.
M y improved supporter is composed, as herein shown, of the front and back pieces a b, of knitted fabric. The pieces a b, shaped somewhat like a triangle, have, as shown,
sch-age edges, which for a part of their length are united by seams, as at c, and the narrow ends of the webs to extend between the legs 1 lguro l, in elevation,represents a knitted 'lhesc, like pieces of knit-ted goods sowedto gethcr, form a supporter having a tubular portion between the lines 5and 3 to fit the. hips snugly and extend across the back and abdomen.
'lhe supporter from the line 2 to the line '5 :l i is narrowed to embrace the upper part ofthe? hips.
In case it were desired to do away with the seam (I, the fabric constituting one-half of the supporter might be started, say, at: the end 5, on a flat-bed knitting-machine and be, widened to the line 2, then knit of substan? tially the same width from 2,10 3, and them after narrowed to the point-t, the narrowest coulse, and then gradually widen the fabric Y to the line'3, then knit; of substantially. the same width to the line 2, and then narrow are in Figs. 1 and 2 shown as seamed at d.
From the line 3 to the line 4 the fabric is of decreasing width, t-hus forminga from 2 to 5, making aseaniless blank 0! the 7o shape shown in l ig. 4, which, when seamed together from 3 to 5, forms a supporter likethatshown in Fig. 3. 1'
'lhe knitted fabric is of the class known as ribbed.
.- I claim- 'lhc hereilnlescribed'supporter, consisting of a ribbed knitted body portion fashioned and united to fit the hips, back, and nbdomen, and tab portions narrowed from the hips 8o dnvnwardly to form a port ion to pass between the legs and having selvage edges, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I- have signed my name to this specification in the presence of 85.
two subscribing witnesses.
