GARMENT-SUPPORTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 756,237, dated April 5, 1904.

Application filed December 28,

T0 all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. HUNKINs, a citizen of the United States, residing at'Merriam Park, county of Ramsey, State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment-Supporters, of which waist may be worn in the usual nway to cover the upper portion of said garment-supporter, which waist will be properly held in place by the coaction of certain tion hereinafter described.

In the drawings, FigureV l is a perspective View of my invention. Fig. 2 is an elevation of a detail.

Fig. 4 1s partly an elevation and partly a section of a detail of construction. Fig. 5 is a side elevation of amodilied detail of construction.

In the drawings, lA A are Suspenders or straps adapted togo over the shoulders of the wearer.

B is a band to which tached, if desired, by means of buttons D, secured to the inside-of said band. The buttons D may be provided with studs E on the-oppositeside of said band, said studs being de signed to receive a buttonhole-loop F, carried by the nether garment G.

The garment-supporter when adjusted in place assumes the position approximately shown in Fig." l. rIhe nether garment G is secured to the band B by securing the buttonhole-loop F to the proper stud E. Before the nether garment is attached, however, the shirt-waist or shirt portion of the shirt-waist adjacent to the stud may be grasped by the buttonhole'F, so that it will be held between it and said stud, the loop F-performing the double function of securing the 'nether -garment G to the band B and also securing the lower portion of the shirt-waist in place. The shirt-waist is not hole-loop may be made of metal, as shown in Fig. 2, and, if desirable, the upper parts of the construc- Fig. 3 is a cross-section of fragmentary portions.

shown in the drawings for obvious reasons and because the method of application is clear from 'the foregoing description. The shirtwaist renders the supporter invisible.

When it is desired, the Suspenders may be secured to the band B-for example, as shown in Fig. 3, in which Aone end of thev strap A is shown as riveted to the band B. The buttonsubstantially end of said loop may be extended into the form of a hook, as shown in Fig. 5, in which F -is the bill of the hook, the same being adapted to hold a belt H in What I claim is l.
