Inventor Witnesses Attorneys ROSCOE BRATTON, 0F LEBANON, INDIANA.
SHOE-BUTTON FASTENER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 2, 1916.
Application filed April 8, 1915. Serial No. 19,999.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Roscoe BRATTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lebanon, in the county of Boone and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Shoe-Button Fastener, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to button fasteners especially designed for use in holding shoe buttons in position, one of the objects of the invention being to provide a fastener which constitutes a yieldable support whereby the shoe to which the button is attached can adjust itself to the ankle without necessitating the resetting of the fastener, and the formation of objectionable openings such as have heretofore been produced where it has been necessary to shift the positions of the buttons.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, can be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention has been shown.
In said drawings :Figure 1 is an elevation of a portion ,of a shoe and showing the present improvements combined therewith. Fig. 2 is an enlarged section on line AB Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of a button and one of its fasteners.
Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 designates an elongated loop made of stiff spring wire, one end portion of the loop being contracted as at 2, to form an eye 3 adapted to engage the eye a of a button 5. The sides of the loop merge into arms 6 and 7 respectively, these arms being substantially parallel with each other and with the loop 1 and the arm 7 being preferably shorter than the arm 6. Arm 6 has a prong 8 at its free end, while extending from the arm 7 is a prong 9 the inner portion of which is'adapted to be extended substantially parallel with the arm 7.
In applying the fastener, the arms 6 and 7 are placed upon the surface of the shoe or other garment S to which the button 5 is to be connected and prongs 8 and 9 are insertedas shown particularly in Fig. 2. The prong 9 is bent back against the inner surface of the shoe, as at 10 and is then bent forwardly along said inner surface as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 3. The prong 8 is bent back against the inner surface of the shoe as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 3. The parts are thus pressed tightly upon the shoe, and the fastener will be held fixedly, constituting a yieldable support for the button 5. Consequently when the button is inserted into a buttonhole, the loop 1 will be free to yield laterally so as thus to allow the shoe to adapt itself to the ankle without necessitating moving the fastener in order to render the shoe more comfortable.
WVhat is claimed is 1. A button fastener including a resilient loop bent to form ahook, there being an-eye at the free end of the hook for engagement with the eye of a button, and bendable prongs extending from the other end of the hook and adapted to bind and fasten the hook upon a shoe or the like.
2. A button fastener including a loop bent to form an eye at the free end thereof for engagement with the eye of a button and said loop including arms of different lengths adapted to rest upon a shoe or the like, there being bendable prongs extending from the arms and insertible through a shoe for binding the arms of the loop upon the shoe and securing them thereto, said hook being formed of resilient material.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
ROSCOE BRATTON.
