I Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 11, 1916.
Application filedMay 16, 1914. Serial No. 838,959.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN YETTON, residing at 42 Endsleigh Gardens, Ilford, in the county of Essex, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Belt-Fasteners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The invention relates to belt-fasteners which consist of a plate formed with a centrally disposed opening and of a bar dividing the centrally disposed opening thereof into two slots for the ends of the belt.
According to the present invention the bar which divides the centrally disposed openingo-f the plate of a belt-fastener of the above described type into two slots for the ends of the belt is hingeably connected to said plate at one only of its ends and the connection of the bar to the plate is of such nature that said bar is capable, of a certain amount of movement in the direction of its width so as to allow it to accommodate itself to the belt in case the two ends of the belt, as is frequently the case, are of unequal thickness.
The invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 1s a plan of the improved beltfastener. Fig. 2 is a section thereof taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrow 2. Fig. 3 is a section of the improved belt-fastener taken on the line 3-3 and looking in the direction of the arrow 3. p
a is a metal plate which is formed with a centrally disposed opening I) and at 1ts ends with two downwardly projectmg flanges or ribs 0.
d is a flat bar which is hingeably connected at one only of its ends to the plate a, the connection being of such nature that the bar (Z can move in the direction of its width and thus accommodate itself to belt ends of formed on the sides of the hinged bar 03,
the function of these pointed projections, e
' and being to afiord affirm grip on the belt ends. v
The above described connection of the bar d to the plate a is preferably effected in the manner illustrated by the drawings and shown most clearly in Figs. 2 and 3.
The plate a is provided at one of the ends of its centrally disposed opening?) with a horizontally disposed slot which is formed in one of the downwardly projecting flanges or ribs 0 of said plate and in an upward extension. of said flange or rib. The metal forming the upper wall of said slot 9 is made of circular shape in crosssection so as to constitute a pintle it. One of the ends of the bar dis formed with a fork 2' of such size as to pass over the pintle It, and the extremities of the limbs of said fork z are bent so as to somewhat loosely embrace'the pintle 71.. The free end of the bar (Z is made of such shape that it will when depressed bear against the end wall of the centrally disposed opening?) of the plate a which is opposite to the pintle h.
The improved belt-fastener is used in the following manner :-The hinged bar at is first turned into the position shown in broken lines in Fig. 3, and the two ends of the belt to be fastened are passed through the centrally disposed opening 6 of the plate a. The hinged bar a? is then depressed so as to come between the ends of the belt, as shown in Fig. 2, in which the belt, indicated by j, is drawn in broken lines.
Having now describedmy invention what I have invented and desire to" secure by Let- {zers Patent in the United States is as fol- 1. A belt-fastener consisting of a flat metal plate formed with a centrally disposed opening and on the side walls of said opening with pointed projections, and of a metal bar which is hingedly connected to said plate at one end of the centrally disposed opening in the direction of its; width thereof in such manner that said bar is free to move at its point of connection, for the purpose described. 7
2. A belt-fastener consisting of a metal plate a and a flat bar d hingedly connected to said plate, said metal plate a being provided with a central opening 6, with pointed brace said pintle h, for the purpose described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JOHN YETTON.
