WALTER FRANCIS GAUNT, 0F BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND.
BUTTON-HOLDING DEVICE.
Application filed September =6, 1911-. Serial No. 647,942.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, lVAL'rnR FRANCIS GAUNT, a subject of His Majesty the King of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at \Varstone Parade, in the city of Birmingham, in the county of lVarwick, England, manufacturer, have invented new and useful Improvements in Button-Holding Devices, of which the following is a specification.
This invention consists of the herein described improved button fixer for fixing military and like buttons to brooches, hat pins, waist belt clasps, and the like.
At the present time military buttons and other similar buttons are largely used for the heads of ladies hat pins and as brooches and they are also used on belt clasps.
My invention provides a cheap and comparatively inexpensive means by which a military or like button having aloop or other shank of the usual kind can be instantly and firmly fixed on to a metal mount forming the head of a ladys hat pin or other pin or forming the body of a brooch or a waist belt clasp or solitaire or the like, or the top or otherpart of a swagger cane mount.
My invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings on which Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of one form of my improved button fixer, fixing a military or like button to a. brooch; Fig. 2 shows the said ordinary military button separately; Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation of the mount part of the button fixer; Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation and Fig. 5 is a plan of the gripping plate part of the button fixer; Fig. 6 is a sectional elevation of the back plate of the brooch with its brooch pin and catch; Fig. 7 is a sectional elevation and Fig. 8 is a plan of the same button fixer and brooch complete for attachment to the button; Fig. 9 is a sectional elevation of my improved button fiXer applied to a ladys hat pin for the fixing of a military or like button to the head thereof; Fig. 10 is a sectional elevation and Fig. 11 is a plan of the mount part of the button fixer Fig. 9 separately.
The said button fixer comprises a gripping plate furnished with tongues adapted to act as a toggle jaw grip and grip the loop of the button shank when the latter is pressed between t em, said button fixer Specification of; Letters Patent.
. Patented Nov.11,1913.
'1 L11 e wi in or orm'n' art of beligaragd th f 1gp a mount which may form part of a brooch; or the head of a ladys hatpin, or the like,
the mount being so constructed that the underside of the button when the latter is fix-ed in position takes a seating upon a recessed portion of the mount.
I will first refer more particularly to Figs. 1 to 8 both inclusive and describe my button fixer 1 as applied to a brooch for the purpose of fixing to the latter a military or like button 2 which me an ordinary shank 3 made in the form of a loop or eye. The brooch mount 4 which is by preference made as a metal stamping (or the mount may be otherwise formed and of any other suitable substance) has at the front of it a ,circular recess 5 in which the body of the button 2 will fit. This mount 4L .is pierced with a large hole 6 through which the looped shank 3 of the button passes. The mount 4 is secured to a back plate 7 to 'which the brooch pin or other attachment is fixed. This back plate 7 is fixed to the mount 4; by any suitable means as by the periphery 8 of the mount being spun or closed over the periphery 9 of the back plate 7. Between the mount 1 and the back plate ;7 there is fixed the button fixer 1 made as fa gripping plate, and which is by preference made of thin sheet steel, which is fixed at the back of the mount 1 and is inclosed by the back plate 7 the latter being domed slightly as shown or otherwise shaped so as j to leave a certain space between the back of the gripping plate 1 and the back plate 1. In the center of this gripping plate there is a cross slit 10 and there are two slits 11 and 12 at right angles to the cross slit and at the ends of the same so that the metal between these slits forms two metal tongues 13, 14 the ends of which, forming the sides of the slit 10, touch or almost touch one another and are or may be sharpened. These tongues 13, 14-, are bent backwardly slightly from the front face of the gripping plate 1.
To affix the military or other shank buttons 2 in position in the recess 5 on the mount 4, it is only necessary to press the button 2 into the said recess 5 so that the button shank 3 passes between the meeting or almost meeting ends of the two tongues 13, 14, which latter are thereby pressed outwardly to some extent farther away from "is used with the back plate and gripping the plate by the button shank 3 as the latter 7 passes between them, and when the button 2 has been pressed'firmly home in the recess 5 in the mount 4; as in Fig. 1, the two tongues 18, 1%, will, by the button shank 8, have been bent into a slightly inclined position as in Fig. 1 toward the back plate 7 and their ends will as in Fig. 1 grip the button shank H 2 '3 between them, It will now be impossible to remove the button 2 from the recess 5 as the two tongues 18, 14, form two struts and 1 act like toggle grips on the button shank, as
p y owing to the thickness of the button shank betweenthe almost meeting ends of the two '15 tongues 13, 14, they efliectually resist any strain which is put upon the button to pull it out of the recess 5 and thus the button is perfectly secure.
' Mybutton fixer is applied to other of the said articles similarly as above described v with reference to a brooch, for the fixing of a button to the mount of the hat pin, waist belt clasp, the mount being similarly made with a recessto receive the button the gripping plate such as ,1 being arranged within the mount andformed with toggle gripping tongues 13, 14:, adapted to grip the button shank and secure the button in the recess in the manner above described.
-' Itvis not imperative that the mount which 'f'plate should be permanently fixed thereto, as the said mount may, if desired, be made 7 manently fixed to the'head end of the hat pin shank 22 and in this case is permanently fixed to the gripping plate 1 by the 13, 14;, until the button periphery of the back plate 7 being closed overthe periphery of the gripping plate 1. It will be understood that when the mount 4 has been placed in position on the combined gripping plate 1 and the back plate 7 so that they enter the recess 15 in the back of the mount as in Fig. 9 that these parts are permanently secured when the button shank 3 has been pushed between the tongues properly rests in the recess 5 as in Fig. 9.
What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a button holding device, in combination, a recessed mount having a centrally disposed opening therein said mount being secured to a back plate, said mount or plate having a fastening thereon for securing the complete device to an article of apparel, a fiat gripping plate between said mount and back plate, said gripping plate slit in H formation, forming two tongues adapted to receive and grip between them the loop shank of a button and prevent said button turning in the recess of the mount.
2. In a button holding device, in combination, a recessed mount having a centrally disposed opening therein a back plate adapted to be received by said mount, said back plate having a fastening thereon for securing it to an article of apparel, a flat gripping plate secured to said back plate slit in H formation, said slits forming two tongues adapted to receive and grip between them the shank of a button mounted in the recess of the said mount, said gripping means forming the means of connection between the mount and the back plate.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
