plied to a folded end portion of the strip a
short distance from the bight. A catch-pin 12
is fulcrumed between its ends in the roll 13,
and its points 14 are adapted to engage with
5 the shoulders 11 to retain the garment in en-
gagement therewith and between the parallel
parts of the clip. The end 15 of the catch-
pin forms a grip for turning the pin in the
roll 13 and folds close against the outer por-
io tion of the clip, so as to be out of the way
when the latter is applied to the garment.
The roll 13 is notched or cut away midway of
its ends to provide clearance for the looped
end 15 of the catch-pin, whereby the latter is
15 enabled to turn freely in the roll.
The plate or stay 1 may be straight or
slightly curved, the latter being preferred,
as it will conform more readily to the waist
of the wearer without causing the least pres-
20 sure at any point and may be applied to
pants by the manufacturer or by the cus-
tomer, and when applied to stock clothing the
end portions of the plate or stay may be con-
cealed by being introduced between the lay-
25 ers or plies comprising the waistband of the
trousers, as will be readily understood. In-
asmuch as clencher - buttons are commonly
applied to stock garments the plate or stay
may be simultaneously secured to the trou-
30 sers when applying the buttons thereto at one
and the same operation, thereby avoiding the
cost, which would add materially to the ap-
plication of the invention if extra securing
means were required to be provided.
35 having thus described the invention, what
is claimed as new is-1. The combination with a button applied
to the waistband of a nether garment, of a
plate placed against the inner side of the
waistband of the trousers and having at an 40
intermediate point an approximately T-
shaped slot with a raised point opposite the
opening, and suspender-buttons securing the
plate at its ends to the waistband of the trou-
sers, substantially as described. 45
2. Ina clasp for garment-supporters, a strip
of metal folded upon itself forming parallel
members, one of which has a button applied
thereto and formed at its edges with shoul-
ders, and a catch-pin fulcrumed intermediate 5o
of its ends to the terminal portion of the
other member and having its points adapted
to engage over the aforesaid shoulders, sub-
stantially as described.
3. In a clasp for garment-supporters, a strip 55
of metal doubled upon itself forming mem-
bers, and having shoulders at the free end of
one member and a roll at the outer terminal
of the other member, a button or headed stud
applied to one of the members, and a catch- 6o
pin journaled in the said roll and having
points to engage over the aforedescribed
shoulders, and provided with an extension
forming a grip, substantially as and for the
purpose set forth. 65
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as
my own I have hereto affixed my signature in
the presence of two witnesses.
