tion, whereby the lower pin a' is also held in
firm engagement with the vest.
In Figs. 4 and 5 the device is shown con-
structed without attaching-pins or equivalents
5 and is inserted in a slit formed in the inner
side of the vest X'. It is to be understood
that the main bar A2 may be inserted in a
pocket duly constructed for reception of the
same, or the attachment may be effected very
I simply by slitting the vest X' at a point far
enough above the lower edge of the same to
allow the lower end of the main bar A2 to be
duly supported.
In either of the two forms of the invention
15 and two modes of application of the same
above described and illustrated in the draw-
ings it will be seen that the vest is drawn
downward, and thereby held smooth and
straight on the person of the wearer, and the
20 drawers are duly supported with a corre-
sponding tension. The adaptation of the arm
B with its attached clasp to swing free on the
bar A enables it to move either way independ-
ently of the main bar A, so that it is more
25 comfortable in use than the original device
having a rigid arm. The main bar being
made of elastic material it readily conforms
to the contour of the person, so as to be en-
tirely comfortable in use.
30 While my invention is shown applied for a
specific purpose, it is to be understood that I
do not restrict it thereto, but propose to em-
ploy it in any place where it may be done
with advantage.
35 What I claim is-
1. The improved device consisting of a bar
having a shorter arm pivoted to one end of
the same, the said arm being adapted to swing
free and lie flat on the bar and provided withmeans for attaching it to a garment, substan- 40
tially as shown and described.
2. The improved device for the purpose
specified, consisting of a main bar having a
slidable endwise extension, and a lateral arm
provided with a clasp, substantially as shown 45
and described.
3. The improved device for the purpose
specified comprising a bar having parallel
sides and a slidable endwise extension thereof
comprising an elongated slotted part con- 50
structed of elastic sheet metal and applied to
the main bar in the manner described, where-
by it is held in any required adjustment by
elastic pressure upon said bar, substantially
as shown and described. 55
4. The improved device for the purposes
specified, comprising a main bar having fixed
horizontal pins attached at its respective ends
and projecting in opposite directions, and a
lateral arm attached to the upper end of the 6o
bar and provided with means for securing it
to a garment, substantially as shown and de-
scribed.
5. The improved device for the purpose
specified,comprising the main bar having fixed 65
horizontal pins at its upper and lower ends,
the same projecting in opposite directions,
and a lateral arm which is attached to the up-
per end. of said bar and projecting on the side
of the latter toward which the upper pin pro- 70
jects, said bar being provided with means for
'attaching it to a garment, substantially as
