Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 1421914.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Tiioariis W. PORTER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Tuxedo Park, in the county of Orange and State of New York, have made and invented certain new and useful Improvements in Double-Loop Buckles, of which the fol lowing is a specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in double loop buckles, designed more particularly for use on suspender or shoulder straps of overalls, the object of the same being to provide an article of this kind or character which shall be simple in construction, cheap to manufacture, and which will be effective in preventing any accidental disengagement of the buttons therefrom when in use.
lVith these and other ends in View, my invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view in elevation of my improved double loop buckle. Fig. 2 is a sectional view thereof taken on the line 22 ofFig. 1. Fig. 8 shows a modified form of the article and Fig. at a sectional view taken on the line 4cl of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a view in elevation of a modified form of the loop buckle.
Referring to the drawings, A represents the suspender shoulder strap or other portion of a garment, to which the loop buckle is applied, and B another portion of the garment to which are secured buttons for engagement with the loop buckle. This buckle consists of the vertical arms C, D, formed into the loops E, F, the latter being connected by the cross bar G. The upper ends of the vertical arms C, D, are bent into the horizontal supporting arms H, I, and then downwardly into the somewhat resilient locking arms K, L, the extreme ends of which latter are pointed and extend to within a short distance of the cross bar G. These arms K, L, serve tWo functions, namely, that of retaining the buckle to the fabric A, and secondly, locking the buttons within the loops E, F, when assembled therewith.
In practice, the end of the suspcndcr or strap A is passed between the cross bar G and free ends of the depending locking arms K, L, the latter being caused to pierce said strap in order to fasten the article thereon,
the loop buckle being sustained in position on the strap by the horizontal arms H, I.-
VVhen it is desired to engage the buttons with the loop buckle, the portion of the flange M of one button is passed into the loop E, the remainder of the flange being passed between the locking arm K and the cross bar G. The other button is passed into the loop I in the same way. the buttons being pulled downwardly until they rest in the bottom of the loops E, F. lVhen in this position, the free pointed ends of the lockmg arms K, L, will project to or slightly under the flanges of the buttons, and thereby protect said pointed ends from accidentally catching in the clothing of the wearer. Furthermore, these arms elfectu ally lock the buttons in the loops and prevent any accidental disengagement thereof, for while the buttons may ride freely within the loops, and in the one instance between the arms C and K, and in the other instance between the arms L and D, yet in order to detach them therefrom, it is essential that they be tilted and directed back of the extreme pointed ends of the arms K, L, and back of the cross bar G, said bar G being curved or bent backwardly, as illustrated, in order to facilitate the engagement and disengagement of the buttons from the loops, and the attachment of the loop to the strap A.
It will be understood from the foregoing that the invention is exceedingly simple,
and constructed as it is of a single piece of wire, can be manufactured at a small cost. If desired, however, my improved double loop buckle may be constructed of two pieces of wire, as illustrated in Figs. 3 and 1-. In this instance the vertical sides C, l), have their upper ends bent into loops (Z, (Z, through which pass the horizontal arms 0, f, formed on the top or cross bar N, the extreme ends of this bar being bent downwardly into the vertical locking arms K, L, the extreme pointed ends of which extend within a short distance of the cross bar G.
To assemble the buttons with this form of loop buckle, it is simply necessary to slightly tilt or rock the bar N, the effect of which is to raise or separate the locking arms K, L from the cross bar G. When the parts are in these positions, the buttons may be passed into the loops E, F, whereupon the bar N and locking arms K, L may be returned to their normal positions, the strain of the strap or suspender upon the bar N serving to keep the several parts in one Vertical plane, that is, to keep the arms K, L, in a vertical line with the loops E, F, rendering it impossible for the buttons to be accidentally disengaged therefrom. hen, however, it is desired to release the buttons from the loops, it is simply necessary to tilt the arms K, L, upwardly or separate them a suflicient distance from the cross bar G, whereupon the buttons may be easily removed from the buckle, the tilting or rocking of sald arms K, L, and the bar N, being permitted by the turnmg of the horizontal arms 6, f, in the loops 0, (Z.
In Fig. 5, I have illustrated a modified form of the loop buckle wherein the horizontal arms 0, P, are sufiiciently lengthened to cross each other, and subsequently bent down into the resilient locking arms Q, R, this construction and arrangement adding somewhat to the strength of the finished article.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A loop buckle of the character described comp-rising two loops for receiving buttons, the inner or adjacent sides of said loops being connected by a cross bar, and
the remote or outer sides thereof being vertical and extendlng above said cross bar; and two horlzontal supporting arms for supporting the buckle from a strap or web,
said arms extending from the outer sides of said loops inward and across the same, and the ends of which supporting arms are bent downward and are pointed, and terminate ad acent the inner sides of said loops to thereby form locking arms for retaining the buttons within said loops.
2. A loop buckle of the character described and formed from a single piece of wire, the same being bent to provide two loops for receiving buttons and a cross bar extending between the inner or adjacent sides of said loops, the outer or remote sides of said loops being bent inward to provide two horizontal supporting arms extending across said loops, and bent downward to provide locking arms, said locking arms being pointed and terminating adjacent the inner sides of said loops.
Signed at New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county of New York, and State of New York, this 3rd day of October,
