EDWIN E. LEE', 0E NEW vonk', N. Y.
LettersPatent No. 109,134, dated November 8, 1870.
IMPROVEMENT IN BUTTON-FASTENINGS.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWIN F. LEE, of the city, county and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Button-Fastenings, of which the following -is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of-this specification, and in which- Figure I represents a side view of my improved button-fastening, before the saine is closed iu its attachment of the button; and
Figure 2, a plan or rear view thereof under like conditions Figure 3 is a like view to g. 2, after the tongue of the fastening has been projected through one or more thicknesses of material and been closed in its attachment of a button; and
Figure 4, a partly-sectional side view of the fasten# ing under the conditions described in iig. 3.
Similar letters ot' reference indicate'correspondingI parts. l
My invention consists ina button-fasteningwhich maybe formed `or struck and drawn out of a single piece of metal, and which comprises a disk and tongue, the latter projecting from the one side of the disk within its edge, and being formed with a swell or locking projection on its outer end, and bent to occupy an angular position relatively to the face of the disk, for projection through the material to which the button is to be attached, and, after being passed through the looped shank of the button, for return through the material and .lock with the disk by its fit through a slot in the opposite side or edge ofthe diskand compression of its outer end into a recess formed at the inner end of said slot.
This is at once a`cheap aud efficient fastening, which may be readily applied without the aid ofv special tools other than an ordinary awl'and pliers, and, while applicable as a button-fastening generally, will be found particularly serviceable for fastening buttons on bootsand shoes.
Referring to the accompanying drawing- A represents a head or disk, made of metal or other suitable material combining the requisite stiffness and exibility;
Said disk is formed with oppositely-arranged transverse slots, a b, in it, running from its edge toward the center of the disk. The metal struckout of the disk in making the slot a is left attached to the disk at the inner end of said slot,- and is drawn or formed into a tongue, B, of -the requisite length to complete the fastening, as hereinafter described, and with a spread orA iiatteued-ont portion, c, at its outer end. Said tongue is then bent to incline or .project from the face ot' the disk, as represented in fig. 1.
At the inner extremity of the slot b in the opposite Y side of the disk, a recess, d, is formed in the back of the disk, corresponding iu shape, or thereabout, tothe swell c on the end of the tongue.
To apply the fastening to a button C, for the puri poseV of h olding the lat-ter to one 0r more thicknessesl of material, D, the tongue Bis projected through the lnaterial from its back or inner side, and, after being passed through the looped shank S of the button, is then returned through the material and passed through and along the slot b, and its swelled end c afterward pressed down to look or lie within the recess d, as represented in figs. 3 and 4 of the drawing.
,This effects a close fit ot' the disk against the material, and a secure hold of the button, with freedom of play for the latter, to facilitate buttoning'.
An ordinary awl may be used to form the punotures in the material for the tongue to pass through, when l p the material is of a nature that does not admit of the tongue being self-penetrating; and the bending of the tongue, to effect its return passage. through the material and lock with the disk, be accomplished by an ordinary pair' of pliers, or otherwise.
The tongue B-uiigut be 'made of a separate piece from the disk, and be welded or soldered to the latter but this is not as desirable as making it out of the same piece with the disk.
What is here claimed, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is-
The button-fastening, constructed substantially as described, of a disk or head, A, having a slot, b, in it', and recess d, in combination with a tongue, B, formed with a swell or locking projection to tit within the recess of the disk, essentially as specified.
