Afro/mgr Unrrnn STATES PATENT OFFICE.
FRANKLIN a. WHITE, or WATERBURY,. connnorrcunnssxolvoa TO THE PLAT'I BROTHERS AND COMPANY, or WATERBURY, CONNECTICUT, A CORPORATION or CONNECTICUT.
To all whom z't mag concern:
Be it known that I, FRANKLIN R. WHITE,
a citizen of the United States, and a resident of'VVaterbury, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have made and invented certain new and useful Improvements in Buttons, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to buttons designed to be permanently attached to a garment by means of a staple, the prongs of which are bent or clenched about a bar in the act of securing the button to a garment, and the object thereof is to provide an improved button of thetype above specified which may be easily manufactured, which will be strong and effective for the purpose for which it is designed, and one which is so formed as to be readily used with certain types of button setting machines, which, however, form no part of the invention disclosed and claimed in this particular application.
With the. objects aboi e enumerated in ing staple. Fig.\5 is a view showing the button in plan and secured to a garment, as in Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is a view showing the but tonsin side elevation. Fig. 7 is a View showing af-cross-section upon a plane indicated by thdline 77, Fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a View showing a reinforcing member in perspective, and F ig is a perspective view showing a staple whereby my improved button is secured to a garment; In the drawing, 1 is the enlarged head of the button, and 2 is the hub or shank portion thereof through which the button is secured to the garment by means of a staple 3 The head andhub are commonly formed from'sheet metal by means of dies, and the bottom of the hub is, inpractice, formed integrally with the upper portion thereof and.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed December 16, 1910. Serial No.
in the act of securing the button to a view, my invention consists in the improved p the flattened sides,
relative positions of the said BUTTON.

out out in part by a suitable punch to form an inwardly extending ledge 4, and a bar 5 extending across the lower end of the hub. Within the hub is a reinforcing member (5 havinga transverse bar 7, said member being located within the hub with its bar overlying the bar 5 of the hub, and with its outer edge restingupon the inwardly extending ledge or flange 4, The reinforcing member is formed as a disk, portions thereof being out out to provide the transverse bar 7. The staple 3 has two prongs which,
garment, are bent and clenched about the transverse bars 5 and 7,as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the prongs being bent by means of a'suitable anvil of the mechanism (not shown) by which the button is secured to the goods, which anvil enters the hub through an opening 8 provided for that purpose in the button head.
a For the purpose of adapting my improved button for use in certain types of. button I feeding machines. having two 'parallel guides closer together than the maximumSO diameter of the shank portion 2, I provide two flat portions 9,9 upon the hub as shown in Fig. 7, these flat portions being shown as formed by forcing diametrically opposite portions of the wall of the hub inward; these flattened sides or portions of the wall perform the further function of retaining the reinforcing member 6 in place,
as the metal thus forced inward lies immedi- I ately over the periphery of the said ieinforcing member. These flattened portions or sides of the hub extending from the head of the button to within a short distance of the lower end of the hub, thereby form an outwardly extending flange 10 at the base of which insure the'holding' of the button in the groove and between the tracks forming a race-Way of the button setting inechanism, (not shown).
From the foregoing it will be understood that by formin a button with'a hub having two flattened sldes, the button may be to to the button-setting mechanism with its bail 5 extending cross-Wise of the chute through whichv the button is fed to the button-setting mechanism, thus insuring the proper bar and fastening staple, which would not be the case if the button were provided with a hub of cylindrical shape and pennitti g it to turn or 1113 button-setting mechanism.
rotate during the feeding of the same to the Furthermore, by forming the flanges 10 on the lower end of the hub, and which fit under tracks or guides in the slot of the button-setting ma-' creasing the diameter of the prongs of the staple from thepointed end toward the base instead of having them of uniform diamv eter, as heretofore, a fastener isproduced,
which will, with certainty, pierce its way through the bottom of the button and avoid the liability of bending or becoming dis- Vtorted.
Having thus described my invention 1 claim and desire to secure by- Letters Patent 1., A button having an enlarged head pro vided with a central opening, and a hub projecting frdm said head and through which the button is secured to a garment, said hub. having an inwardly extending flange at .its lower end and a bar extending across the lower end of the saidhub, and said flange and bar bemg mteg al with said hub, and a reinforcing memberadapted to rest upon said flange and having a diametrically extending bar adapted to register with said first mentioned bar, the wall 'of said hub being forced inward at two sides intermediate the ends thereof, to thereby form inwardly extending projections above said reinforcing member, and the lower end of said hub being of greater diameter than the minimum diameter of the hub at the flattened portion thereof.
2. A button having an enlarged head provided with a central opening; a hub projecting from said head and through which the button is secured to a garment, said hub being cylindriczn in form and having an in: wardly extending flange at its lower end and a bar formed integrally with said flange and extending across the lower end of said hub; said flange and bar being integral with said hub and a reinforcing member annular in form and adapted to rest upon said flange, and having a dian'ietrically extending bar adapted to register with said first mentioned bar, said hub having two flat sides intermediate the ends thereof to thereby form inwardly extending projections' above' said reinforcing member, and the lower end of said hub being of greater diam- FRANKLIN R. \VHITE.
