Application filed November 13, 1911. Serial No. 659,983.

T0 all whom t may concern: y

Be it known that I, ALFREn/CoUizvorsinii, Jr., a citizen of the United States of Amer ica, and a resident of Chicago, county of Cook, State of illinois, have invented cer- Vtain new and ruseful improvements in Brooch-Pins, of which the following 1s a' specification.

The main objects oi' this invention are t0 provide an improved device for supporting a brooch pin inan outstanding position, so

'as to prevent the 'hanging dt'wn or drooping of the ornamental part ofthe pinrand to provide an improved joint betweentlie main '.pin and the body of the brooch.

` An illustrative embodiment of this invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective View of a brooch vpin 'constructed according to this invention and attached to a dress collar in theposition in which the brooch is intended to be supported, the body ot the brooch being shown in dotted lines in an open position. Fig. 2 'is an 'enlarged perspective view of the brooch pin in the closed position. Fig. 3

is a side view, partly sectional and partly y broken away, of the hinge between the main pin and the body of thebroocli.

-The main pin 1 is supported by the plate 2 which is pivot-ed between the ears 3 and 4 ina manner common to brooch pins, and is also provided with the usual projection 5, which, by bearing against'the body 6 of the brocoli, causes the pin 1 to normally spring away from the back of the body, and thus hold the same in the retaining member or clasp 7 in a manner which is usual to brooch pins. The pivot 8 supports" the plate 2 between the ears-3 and 4 in the usual manner.

in brooch pins, is pivoted to the Lpivotpin 9,

' which projects from and is rigid on the plate 2, the pin 1 having its rear end bent around the pivot pin 9 and being held thereon by means of the head 10 on said pivot pin'. The pin l thus is swiveled to the body 11 of the brooch, having 'a pivotal movement' from and toward the back of the body as is usual in brooch pins, and having also a swinging The -pin1, however, instead of being rigidly fastened to the plate 2, as is common movement in a general direction crossing the body from sideto side. The body 1l of the brooch is provided with a rigid pin 12, which extends upwardly from said body, and by insertion under the material of the dress to which it is attached, as in'Fig. 1, prevents the brooch body from dropping ldownward or sagging. v

To attach the brooch pin to a dress in the position shown in Fig. 1, .the pin 1 is first inserted through the material of the dress in the usual manner. The body 11 is then moved down slightly toward the position shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 1, and the short pin 12 is then inserted into the cloth at about the level of the pin l, and is then pushed upwardly under the cloth, the body l1 being moved up into suitable position to have its retaining member or elasp 7 engage the pin 1 near its point 13. The pin 12 will be supported by the cloth of the dress 15 so as to hold the body 11 with its ornamental member 11 in an outstanding position and prevent its drooping or hanging down, as is usual with brooch pins of ordinary construction. v

Although but one specific embodiment of this inrention is herein shown and described,

. it will be understood.. that numerous details of the construction shown may be altered or omitted without ,departing from the spirit of this invention, as dened by theffollowing claim.
