'I'his invention relates to wearing apparel and particularly to an improved drop'seat pajama, the object being to provide aconstruction-permitting the Vuse of a drop seat without utilizing elastic members, buttons, or other similar fastening means.

Another object of the invention is to provide a drop seat pajama wherein there is provided a special belt arrangement for permitting the drop seat to be moved downwardly and upwardly without dislocating the belt structure.

A further object, more specically, is to provide a pajama or similar garment with a drop seat and a belt formation with telescoping sections, the parts being so arranged that when the seat is lowered portions of one section will be pulled out of portions of the other section.

In the accompanying drawing:

Fig. 1 is a rear View of a pair of pajamas disclosing an embodiment of the invention;

Fig. 2 is a sectional view on an enlarged scale through Fig. 5 on the line 2 2;

Fig. 3 is a sectional view on an enlarged scale through Fig. 5 on the line 3 3;

Fig. 4 is a sectional view on an enlarged scale through Fig. 5 on the line 4 4;

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary elevation showing part of the seat and approximately one-half of the belt structure associated therewith;

Fig. 6 is a sectional view through Fig. 5 approximately on the line 6 6;

Fig. 7 is a View similar to Fig. 5 but shown slightly in perspective and illustrating a modied form of the invention;

Fig. 8 is a sectional view through Fig. '7 approximately on the line 8 8.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, I indicates the body of the garment which may be provided with sleeves 2, leg members 3 and a drop seat 4. The upper edge 5 of the drop seat 4 is provided with a binding or belt section 6 which has extensions 1 and 8 projecting beyond the side edges of the seat 4. Associated with the projecting portions 1 and 8 are auxiliary belt members or sections 9 and I0 which are tubular. The portions 'I and 8 telescopically fit into the respective members 9 and I as shown particularly in Fig. 5. 'Ihe full length of the extension 'I ts into member 9 and has the end Il secured by stitching I2 to the member 9 approximately midway of thelength of member 9. Extensions B and I0 are arranged in the same way.

It will be observed that the surface or portion I3 which contacts the body Ivis secured to the This is yshown particularly in Figs'. 5 and 6. It

will be noted from Fig. that the stitching I5 is arranged on opposite si'des-foifmember 9 andy therefore' leaves a full openingi fori extension-` 'I to slide in and out as may be desired.

When it is desired to drop the seat 4 downwardly it is merely pushed downwardly in any way and the sections 'I and 8 will slide out of the members 9 and I0 which will naturally pucker more or less at points I6 and I'I. The parts are of relatively proper length to permit the seat 4 to move down to a desired point. When it is desired to raise the seat 4 back to its normal upper position it is only necessary to pull on the outer ends of the members 9 and I0 and by reason of the threads I2 sections 'I and 8 will' be drawn into the members 9 and I0 and the seat raised. The auxiliary belt or members 9 and I0 may be then brought around to the front and tied or secured by buttons, snap fasteners, or other means so that there will be presented a belt formation for the pajamas as well as means for supporting the drop seat without the use of buttons. While the extensions 'I and 8 are preferably formed of non-elastic textile fabric, it is evident that these members could be made of elastic without departing from the invention.

In Figs. '7 and 8 a slightly modified form of the invention is shown wherein the member 9 is used which is a single strip of material secured at I5 to the pajama body I whereby there will be presented an opening I 8 through which the section 'I may extend. In this form of the invention the stitchings I2 are used in a similar manner to that shown in Fig. 5. The sliding or telescoping action is the same in this form of the invention, except that the section 1 is not vcompletely enclosed.

I claim:
