Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““My invention rehíles to improvement in skirts; and the object, of the same is to produce an underskirt which will lit neatly over the hips without wrinkling and be secured snugly about the wa 1st. To accomplish this object I eon struct my skirt of three parts, each of a different kind of material. The first part or lower skirt portion is of nonelastic material, the second or hip portion is of material with a medium modulus of elasticity, and the third portion or waist-band is of material having a large modulus of elasticity. * * * “The numeral 1 designates the skirt portion of my garment, which is made of nonflexible material and uniformly tapered from the bottom up, as is usual. This skirt is secured to a hip portion, 2, made of elastic material, such as jersey or other kind of goods of moderate elasticity. This portion is wider at the bottom than at the top, and is designed to fit smoothly and snugly the hips. With this end in view the sides, 3, may be slightly rounded; but in general the elasticity of the material is sufficient to insure a perfect fit. * * * “The third portion of my skirt is the waist-band, 5, which is constructed of some material having a large modulus of elasticity, such as silk elastic ribbon. This band is cut to correspond with the opening in the hip member, 2, the ends being united by a clasp or fastener, 6, of any suitable kind; but it may be made integral, as in the modified form shown in Fig. 2. This band fits tightly the waist.””
