SHOULDER-CLASP.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 23, 1914.
Application filed October 2 5, 1911. Serial No. 656,625.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Rosn F. HOLLAND, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hinsdale, in the county of Cheshire and State of New Hampshire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shoulder-Clasps, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in shoulder clasps, and more particularly for fastening the shoulder straps of underwaists, and the object is to provide a simple device consisting of few parts which are not liable to get out of order, and which will be useful as well as ornamental.
The invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts which will be hereinafter described and pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view in perspective of my improved clasp; Fig. 2 is a view in side elevation; Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view; and Fig. 4 is a plan view of the tongue.
A, represents the body of the clasp, which is made'of any suitable metal and made in any design desirable. The body of the clasp is preferably curved, and the ends turned inward, forming a hinge socket 1,
at one end, and a keeper 2 at the other end. The tongue 3 is preferably made from a single piece of wire, and the ends are bent inwardly forming pintles 4 which are received in the hinge socket 1 for pivotally connecting the tongue to the body of the clasp. The wire tongue is bent at the center, forming a cross or transverse bar 5, preferably having a slight curvature throughout its length, and the wire is bent at the ends of the cross bar slightly outward, forming projections 6,,which engage and laterally embrace the ends of thekeeper 2 for preventing any lateral movement of the tongue, the cross bar being sprung behind the keeper or rolled edge 2 for locking the tongue in engagement with the body for fastening the articles together. After the wire is bent for forming the projections 6, the ends of the wire are bent inwardly toward each other and then extend approximately parallel practically the entire length of the body A to form the body of the tongue.
From the foregoing it will be seen that I have provided a very simple clasp which consists of two parts, the wire tongue being bent into shape for forming a connection with the body of the clasp, so that when the clasp is in engagement with the keeper of the body, it will be held in place and prevented from moving laterally and becoming disengaged from the keeper.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A clasp comprising a body and a tongue hinged thereto, which tongue is longitudinally and transversely resilient, said tongue having a cross or transverse curved bar at the free end and terminating at either end thereof in projections, and the body having a keeper at the free end adapted to be engaged by the projections at the ends of said cross or transverse bar whereby the free end of the tongue is held by said keeper against lateral movement due to the resiliency of the tongue and the embrasure of the ends of the keeper by the projections at the ends of the cross or transverse bar.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
ROSE F. HOLLAND.
