ATTUHNE'I" WILLIAM M. NORCROSS, OF TAUNTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
FURNITURE-NAIL.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 9, 1916.
Application filed November 15, 1915. Serial No. 61,548.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM M. Non- CROSS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Taunton, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in FurnitureNails, of which the following is a specification.
My invention has reference to an improvement in furniture nails and more particularly to an improvement in the construction and method of securing fibrous button shaped heads to the metal fastening members of furniture nails. In the construction of such furniture nails as heretofore usually constructed, the fibrous heads are easily turned or bent on or broken away from the metal fastening member, thereby destroying their utility when in use.
The object of my invention is to improve the construction of a furniture nail having a fibrous button shaped head and a metal nail shaped fastening member, whereby the fibrous head is more firmly and rigidly secured to the metal fastening member than has heretofore been done.
My invention consists in the peculiar and novel construction of a furniture nail having a fibrous button shaped head and a metal nail shaped fastening member, said furniture nail having details of construction, as will be more fully set forth hereinafter and claimed.
Figure 1 is a side view of the metal fastening member looking at the sides of the neck fins. Fig. 2 is a side View of the fastening member similar to Fig. 1 turned one quarter of a revolution to show an edge View of one of the neck fins. Fig. 3 1s a top view of the metal fastening member. Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view through the fastening member, taken on line 4:. 4 of Fig. 1. Fi 5 is an underside view of the fibrous hea blank from which the fibrous button shaped head of the nail is formed.
Fig. 6 is a transverse sectional View through the head blank, taken on line 6. 6 of Fig. 5. Fig. 7 is a transverse sectional view of the head blank and showing the metal fastening member in position for securing and forming the fibrous head on the same, and Fig. 8 1s a sectional view through the head of the completed nail and showing the head end of the fastening member bent over or distorted and firmly secured or anchored in the fibrous head of the nail.
All of the figures are enlarged to more clearly show the construction.
In the drawings 9 indicates a fibrous head and 10 a metal fastening member of a furniture nail. The fibrous head 9 is formed of paper, leather or other fibrous material, first 1n the form of a flat round blan'k of the required size and thickness and having a round central cavity 11 extending in from the underside of the blank, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6.
The metal fastening member 10 is constructed to have a. nail shaped shank 12 terminating into a pointed end 13, a collar 14 at the head end, a reduced and weakened neck portion 15 above the collar and having two oppositely disposed thin side fins 16. 16 and a round head 17 on the neck, the size of which is approximately half the size of the collar 14, and somewhat larger than the shank 12. The small and weakened neck 15 is approximately half the size of the shank 12 and the fins 16. 16 extend outward from the neck on approximately a line with the edge of the head 17. The fastening member 10 is formed in dies so constructed that in forming the neck 15 the surplus metal is formed into the side fins 16. 16. The head. end of the fastening member 10 is now inserted into the cavity 11 in the head blank and both laced in dies which firmly hold the fastening member 10 and are constructed to form the head blank into a button shaped head on the fastening member. As the dies are forced together, the fibrous head blank is compressed into a button, shaped head on to the head end of the fastening member, with the fibrous head resting on the collar 14, and by the pressure of the dies the head 17 is simultaneously collapsed through the Weakness of the neck 15 which is bent or distorted and which throws the head 17 out of its normal position into an angular position, as shown in Fig, 8, thereby firmly securing or anchoring the head end of the fastening member into the fibrous head of the nail.
By the use of my improved construction and method of securing the parts together, the fins 16. 16 prevent turning of the fibrous head 9 on the fastening member 10, the comparatively large collar 14 bearing against the underside of the fibrous head prevents bending or rocking of the head on the shank 12, and by compressing the head around the neck 15 and simultaneously bending or distorting of the neck and collapsing of the head end of the fastening member, the fibrous head is more firmly and rigidly se- -cured to the fastening member, than has heretofore been done. The furniture nail can now be driven, by a hammer straight into wood or other resisting material without liability of bending the head on the shank or breaking the head away from the shank.
I do not wish to confine myself to the construction shown as the same could be va ried within the Scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention I claim as new:
1. A furniture nail comprising a fibrous.
neck1 and head end embedded in the fibrous hea 3. A furniture nail comprising a fibrous button shaped head and a metal fastening member having a straight shank, a head end and a laterally extending fin on the head end and embedded in the fibrous head.
4. A furniture nail comprising a fibrous button shaped head and a metal fastening member having a straight shank with a pointed end, a collar and a lateral fin on the head end of the shank and embedded in the fibrous head.
5. A furniture nail comprising a fibrous button shaped head and a metal fastening member having a straight shank with a pointed end, a collar, a reduced neck and a lateral fin on the head end of'the shank and embedded in the fibrous head.
In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification.
