CUFF-BUTTON.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 24, 1914.
Application filed January 6, 1914. Serial No. 810,630.
To all whom itmay concern:
Be it known that I, WALTER InviNo Scotr'r, a citizen of `the United States, residing at New Orleans, in the parishof Orleans and State of Louisiana, have invented new and useful improvements in Cuff-Buttons, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to cuil' buttons; and it has for its primary object the provision of a loss preventing device therefor, which may be elfectually connected with the cuff after the button is in applied position.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a device of this character which will prevent `the loss of the button from the cuff should the small end of the button bccome accidentally deranged from the buttonhole in the adjacent part of the cuff.
A further object of the invention is the provision of securing means which may be operated in such manner that it may be con* veniently and expeditiously applied to or removed from the cuff, as the occasion may demand, and further, the construction of the securing means which will prevent any undue wear upon the cuil.`
A still further object of the invention is the provision of a loss preventing device for cuff buttons, which when in applied position upon the cuff, will be concealed from view thereby.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings z-Figure 1 is a section through a cuil", showing the application of the invention thereto; 2 is a perspective view of the device removed from the cufl; and Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section therethrough.
The button, excepting for the parts forming my loss preventing device, may be of any suitable well known construction and may be briefly described as consisting of a shank 1 having a small head 2 at one end and a large head 3 at its opposite end. The shank 1 is bifurcated in the usual manner, 'as at 4, and the branches 5 thereof are soldered or otherwise secured to the back of the head 3. The latter may be of any suitable configuration in plan but in the present instance is shown to be in the form of an oval, and of concavoconvex form.
l/Vith a View to providing a loss preventive device which will not detract from the appearance of the button and one which will not interfere with the application of the button through the button-holes of the cuff, .I employ a relatively narrow member G fixed or otherwise suitably mounted at 7 on the shank 1 at a point adjacent to the back of the head 2. This member is curved, as at 8, at its upper end, for a purpose to be hereinafter explained.
Adjacent to the end 8, said member is provided with a passage 9, through which extends a Irelatively pointed spur 10 formed upon the end 11 of a spring 12. This spring may be soldered or secured in any other obvious manner to the shankl at 13 and under the action of the spring the member l is adapted to be normally positioned so that the spur 10will enter the material of the cuii' and thereby hold the shank l against rotation in the button-hole. By curving the upper end of the member G as above referred to, the fingers of the hand may be freely guided thereovcr and properly brought behind the free terminal, so as to permit the latterto be released when desired.
In order to prevent accidental relative derangement 0f the two main members of the securing means I provide the member (3 with a loop 14, through which the free end of the spring 12 is extended. The head 3 is provided in its concavity with a plate 15, which is adapted to receive the point of the securing member G and thereby prevent the point of the member from being brought into direct contact with the back of the head.
In using the button, the head 2 is first applied to only one of the button holes and the shank 1 is adjusted so that the member 6 is arranged between the two folds of the cuff. The user, on manipulating the member G, releases the spur of the member from the cuff and then rotates the shank 1 in the button hole so that the head 2 extends at right angles to the direction of the adjacent button hole. The operator then releases the member 11 and under the action of the spring 12, the member is rocked in one direction and the point of the spur is made to slightly penetrate the material and thereby serve as means to positively hold the button against rotation. W'hile the device serves to prevent the small head 2 from accidentally working through the adjacent button hole, 1t
sol
fil!) also forms a positive lock to secure the button upon one of the folds of the cuff should the other fold become accidentally7 separated from the member 2. After the head 2 is inserted through one button-hole as described and the loss preventing device connected With the cuff7 the said head 2 is then inserted through the other hole inthe opposite fold or portion of the cuff.
F rom the foregoing description, taken in connection With the accompanying drawings, the construction and operation .of the invention Will be readily understood Without requiring a more extended explanation.
Various changes in the form, proportion and the minor details of construction may be resorted to Without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention as claimed.
2. A headed cuff button having securing means thereon for holding the button against loss from the button holes and comprising an apertured member, and a spring bearing against the member and having a spur eX- tending through the aperture therein and in the direction of the head of the button.
3. A headed cuff Vbutton having securing means thereon for holding the button against loss from the button holes and comprising an apertured member, a spring bearing against the member and having a spur eX- tending through the aperture therein and in Vthe direction of the head of the button7 and means for holding the spur againstentire withdrawal from the aperture.
4:. A. *headedl cuff button having securing means thereon for holding the button againstloss from the but-ton holes and comprising an apertured member, `a spring bearing against the member and having a spur eX- tending through the aperture therein and in the direotion'of the head of the button, and a loop portion formed on the member and receiving the spring and operating to hold the latter and the member against accidental separation.
5. A headed cuff bntton having securing means thereon for holding the button against loss from the button holes and comprising an apertn'red member, a spring bearing against the member and having a spur eX- tending through the aperture therein and in the direction of thehead of the button, the free end of the member being curved to provide a manipulating surface for engage ment of the linger, whereby pressure may be ,applied in a manner to move the spur to a released position.
ln testimony whereof l affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
