This invention relates to supporters es pecially adapted to encircle the waist and support a catanienial sack.

An object is to produce a resilient belt of 'this character that will combine with the resiliency of the sack in effecting the proper support for the same as Well as the comfort of the wearer.

A further object is to combine simplicity and durability n the structure without sac- .rificing any advantages of. the invention.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description, and

it will be understood that changes in the specific structuregshown and described may be made within the scope of the claims and that any suitable materials may be used without departing from the spirit of the invention. p

The "tab 19 is secured in position. by a second belt 21 which-is placed.

about the strips 11 and 12 and through the sleeve 14, which is provided with asleeve 22 through which the strip 11 is passed. These sleeves 14 and 22 serve to keep the belts in proper position while in o ration. The belt 21 15 secured by the above escribed fastening means.
