ADJUSTABLE SHOE BUTTON.
APPLICATION mu) FEB. 6. 1915.

MORRIS A. MYER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
ADJUSTABLE SHOE-BUTTON.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 25, 1916.
Application filed February 6, 1915. Serial No. 6,516.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MORRIS A. MYER, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the coimty of New York and State a of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Adjustable Shoe- Buttons; 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.
This invention relates to adjustable shoe buttons, and one of the principal objects of the invention is to provide a shoe button which may be adjusted or set back whenever desired by an unskilled person and without the use of tools.
Another object of the invention is to provide a shoe button fastener of simple construction which can be easily attached to a shoe upper at any point desired by the wearer of the shoe without the use of tools.
The foregoing and other objects may be attained by .means of the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in
which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the ankle portion of a shoe showing buttons connected thereto and made in accordance with this invention, Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1, Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the button and fastener, and Fig. 4: is a bottom plan view of the button disconnected from the fastener.
Referring to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates a button head which may be of the ordinary or any suitable form and construction, and designed more particularly for use on shoes, but which may be of suitable form for other purposes. Connected to the button head 1 is a metal shank having a loop 2 embedded in the button head, and having horizontal oppositely extending members 3 outside the button head, and two spaced bearing members 4. The bearing members 4 are provided with perforations, and mounted in the perforations are the opposite ends of a cross bar 5, said cross bar having a central threaded opening 6. j
The fastener for securing the button in ad ustable position upon the shoe or other article consists of a round fiat head 7 having a threaded pin 8 projecting therefrom and extending through the leather or other material a, said threaded pin 8 having a sharpened end 9, so that it can be pushed into the material and the button readily connected to the fastener by turning the button on the threaded shank or pin in the threaded opening 6 of the cross bar 5.
From the foregoing it will be obvious that any person can readily remove the threaded pin 8 by turning the head 7, or by turning the button relatively to the threaded pin 8. lVhen it is desired to readjust the buttons or to set them back upon the shoe, the pointed end 9 can be pushed through the material at the desired point, and readily connected to the button in an obvious manner.
Various changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the claim.
lVhat is claimed is An adjustable shoe button comprising a button, a metal shank extending parallel to the rear face of said button and bent intermediate its length to form a substantially U- shaped loop embedded within said button, the ends of said shank being bent at right angles away fro-m said button to provide bearing members, a cross bar provided intermediate its end with an internally screwthreaded opening and having its ends j ournaled Within said bearing members, and a threaded pin adapted to be engaged by said opening to provide a fastener for the button.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
MORRIS A. MYER.
