UNTTED PATENT @EFFTQE.
WILLIAM 1 T. BUTTON, T5 BRISTOL, RHODE ISLAND, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO TERRENCE BIoCAR-TY, OF BRISTOL, R-HODE ISLAND.
SHOE-BUCKLE.
roeaeee.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that T, WILLIAM N. BUTTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bristol, in the county of Bristol and State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Tmprovement in Shoe-Buckles, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in shoe buckles, and pertains more particularly to the clasp-structnre.
The primary object of the invention is to provide means for preventing accidental unlocking movement of the clasp, when the latter is in operative or closed position, and further to provide a novel form of clasp and means for movably supporting same.
Still further, the invention aims to provide a novel, improved and simplified form of clasp.
In the drawings Figure 1 is a front elevation of the invention. Fig. 2 is an edge elevation. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the clasp in open position. Fig. i is a view similar to Fig. 3, showing the clasp in locked or closed position, and Fig. 5 is an enlarged rear plan view of the clasp showing the same in locked position.
The eye member 1 is formed with the usual number of openings to receive the clasp member, and is of curved form. The clasp member consists of a base portion that is formed of a section of sheet metal which is doubled upon itself to provide sockets 2, each of the doubled portions being formed with a slot 3, which slots register to provide an opening to enable the base to be fastened to one side of a shoe upper. The doubled part is cut away at its central portion at l so as to leave a space for a purpose now to be set forth.
The clasp member proper is formed of wire which is bent to have a bill 5, which bill is formed by doubling over the wire, the ends of the wire being extended outwardly at 6 and received in the sockets 2, the extremities of the saidends being curved and turned inwardly and flattened at 7 to form fingers which are adapted to snap over the base member, for which purpose the bill Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 767,750.
is formed of metal that is possessed of spring properties. When the bill is in locked position the fingers 7 extend on the rear or inner face of the base, while the bill extends on the outer or front face of the base. The free ends of the base member are preferably separated at 8 so as to allow the base to engage on opposite faces of one side of the shoe upper. The space 4 allows the projecting ends 6 of the clasp to be received in the sockets 2 and moved relative to the latter.
In operation the clasp member is first moved outwardly so as to cause the fingers 7 to occupy the position depicted in Fig. 3, whereupon the bill is engaged through one of the slots of eye member 1, after which the clasp is moved to the position shown in Fig. 1, in which movement the fingers 7, due to the s1 ring nature of the clasp, ride over the side edges of the base and are then snapped so as to engage on the rear face of the base in the position shown in Fig. 5, whereby it will be seen that the clasp is held against accidental movement.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. In a shoe buckle, a base member formed of sheet metal doubled over and centrally cut-away at its doubled edge to form a pair of spaced sockets, a clasp member formed of a piece of spring wire doubled over to form a bill the base of which is received in said cut-away part of the base member, the free end portions of the bill being extended outwardly and passed through said respective sockets to provide journals and extending beyond the outer side edges of said base member and then curved inwardly and flattened at their extremities and adapted to snap over said edges of the base member.
2. In a shoe buckle, a base member having a pair of sockets, a wire bill having its ends extended outwardly and passed through said respective sockets to provide journals and extending beyond the outer side edges of said base member and then returned inwardly and adapted to have their extremities snap over said side edges of the base member.
3. In a shoe buckle, a base having bearl In testimony whereof I have signed my ings, a wire bill having its ends provided name to this specification in the presence of with journals which extend through said two subscribing witnesses. bearings, and integral extensions on the WILLIAM N. BUTTON. 5 journals having their free extremities Witnesses: adapted to snap over edge portions of the ADA E. HAGERTY,
