BUCKLE-SLIDE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented A11 24, 1915.
Application filed February 5, 1915. Serial No. 6,223.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it: known that I, CLARK S. CoMsrocK, Sn, a citizen of the United States, residing in East Orange, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Buckle- Slides, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a buckle slide, which articles are largely used with the suspenders of mens overalls and for other similar purposes, and has for its object to provide thesaid slide with means whereby the same may be held in place upon the suspender when in use, at all times, whether thesuspender is under strain or not. Serious objections have existed to the use of articlesof this character which have heretofore been employed,due to the fact that such slides would not remain in position. Customarily, these slides are provided with three bars, and the web is passed in and out around these bars, and its end, after being passed through a button loop, is brought back and attached to the middle bar. The slide, when it is under strain, as when the wearer of the overalls is standing upright, will remain in position. When, however, the wearer bends forward, the strain is removed from the suspender and from the slide, and unless means are provided to hold the slide in place, it will drop a little, .and it is-a common experience for wearers of such devices to have to adjust their slides every few minutes. Particularly is this so after the overalls have been washed a fewtimes and the starch and filling are no longer present in the web, so that the same is quite limber. Buckles have been produced wherein the ends of the wire of which the frame was made were bent inwardly and downwardly into prongs to engage the web. The construction of such articles from wire and the fact that the sharp, necessitates the construction of rather long teeth to obtain the necessary ported, except from the side bars of the buckle.
of considerable width, over two inches, in
fact, and in such a buckle when strain is ap plied to the teeth the frame is very apt to be web so teeth are required to be ecessarily unsup Frequently these buckles are made,
bent, and it frequently happens that the teeth will tear the material of which the web is formed. Efiorts have been made to.
produce a buckle stamped out of sheet metal, having prongs formed integral with an end bar, but the production of such buckle slide from the heavy material necessary in the case of a buckle of considerable width, in order that it shall, possess the necessary strength, makes it socostly, by reason ofthe large amount of waste, that, it is impractical.
My invention relates, therefore, to the production of a slide which will engage the that the slide will be retained in position at all times, will not tear the web, and
which may be produced without any objectionable increase in cost of production. In the production of such means I use the ferrule with which wire buckle slides are usually ends of the wire where the same come together in an end bar of the buckle. These ferrules are necessary, for without them the end bars would fly apart and would, fur thermore, possess insufficient rigidity.
A desirable form in which my inventionmay be embodied is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein,
Figure 1 illustrates a view of a buckle slide having my invention applied thereto in position upon aweb. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section through one of the web engaging teeth, on an enlarged scale. Fig. 3 is a perspective view ofa slide having my invention applied thereto, removed, from the web. Fig. 4; is a side view of the construction illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a similar view partly in section, illustrating-the position of the parts when the wearer stoops forward. Figs. 6 and 7 are detail views partly insection, illustrating one manner of securing the ferrule in place upon the end bar. Fig. 8 illustrates another manner. Figs. 9 and 10 are similar views illustrating a. still further manner.
According to my invention, 1 provide a ferrule which clasps. the ends of the wire firmly together, so that the same possesses the necessary rigidity. At. some portion of this ferrule 1 form the same into projections provided and which surrounds the,
direction of the web, so that they will engage in the material of which the web is composed, sufficiently torhold the slide in position upon the web when the strain is W that the web "engaging means'may at all I I is formed of a single piece of wire bent into gaging means, 7 take the shape the cross bar D, then times be in proper position, I secure the ferrule in'position upon the wire frame so that.
its teeth will bealways ready to perform their function.
. The form in which I prefer to make iny invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings where, in Fig. 8, I have illustrated my invention as applied to a' buckle slide of desirable'form. This buckle slide which as a'whole IdesignateA, has a frame which side barsl B and end bars G, O. A cross bar D is looped around the two side bars and holds them together. The construction of the slide justdescribedis the usual con- 'struction. p
According to my invention I place upon 1 the end bar G which is the end bar containin'g'the ends of the wire, a ferrule E which is preferably formed of a thin sheet metal having stiffness, sheet steel is well adapted. Upon a suitand for this purpose able part ofthe ferrule E, I form web enand these means preferably which any suitable number may be employed, and which are desirably formed upon an edge of the ferrule E. These teeth are quite short and sharp. It is not intended that they shall pass entirely through the material of which the web is composed. As illustrated in the drawing, this material is attached as follows: The webGr passes over the shoulder of the wearer and behind the end bar C then outwardly and in front of downwardly and behind the end bar C. a'loop which receives any convenient form of button loop, such as illustrated at H, and
I the web is then passedup and around the cross bar Dan d attachedto itself. It will therefore be seenthat the direction of the prongs illustrated in Fig. 2 causes them to pass substantially across the direction of the web, and the teeth are sharp enough to enter into the material of the web so as to hold the slide in place against falling, without passing. entirely through the said material to any substantial extent, which would be apt to damage the clothing ofthe wearer.
The device requires that some means shall be provided to hold the ferrule in substan tially the positionillustrated so that its web engaging means may always be inoperative position; I have shown several desirable ways in which such holding may-be accomplished, and others may suggest themselves to a skilled mechanic.

It is then formed into It is preferable that ferrule and the wire beneath it with a tool, T sothat'the materialof the ferrule will be pressed into the indentations of the wire and prevent relative movement of the ferrule. Longitudinal indentations or depressions are shown for the same purpose in Fig. 8. In Figs 9 and 10the ferrule is fiattened and rests snugly against a flattened part of the end bar. 7 V
I have, in the accompanying drawings, illustrated the best mannerof carrying my invention into effect,'now known to me. I do not, however, conceive that it is the only way in which the invention could be employed, as equivalents will possibly suggest themselvesto the skilled mechanic; 1 But such equivalents within the limits of the appended claims are within the'scope ofmy invention. 7
