KATRINE KRUDOZP, OF MANHATTAN, KANSAS.

' vEIL-oLAsP.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, KATRINE KRUDOP, citizen of the United States, and resident of Manhattan, in the county of Riley and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inVeil-Clasps, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to veil clasps and is designed practically to afford an improved means for securing the veil about the head of the wearer.

The usual method here-to-fore used has been either to tie the ends of the veil together or to fasten it by means of pins. Either of these methods is obviously of more or less inconvenience. By providing a clasp or snap socket for the veil as will be herein after more fully pointed out, I provide means whereby the veil may be easily and quickly applied or taken ofi.

The foregoing and other Qb ects of the invention will hereinafter be more fully described and claimed and illustrated in the drawings forming part of this specification in Which like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views, and in which Figure 1 is a side view of the clasp 1n an open position showing the veil clasping means; Fig. 2 is a sectional view of Fig. 1 line 89; Fig. 3 shows the clasp in a folded position with the veil inserted; Fig. 4 shows the manner of applying two clasps together in order to effectively tighten the veil to the head of the wearer; and Fig. 5 shows the clasp and veil applied to the head of the wearer.

Several parts of this device may be made of any suitable materials, and the relative sizes and proportions, as well as the general design of the mechanism, may be varied through a considerable extent without departing from the spirit of the invention hereinafter more fully described and specifically claimed.

My invention in its preferred form comprises a flat sheet metal stamping 10 shown in a triangular form, one side of the triangle having teeth or notches 7 formed thereon, the teeth 7 being bent upwardly as shown. Two of these trlangular stampmgs are required and hinged together at 11 so that they may be folded upon one another in perfect alinement. The toothed edge of the stamping 10 is preferably slightly concave allow- Specification of Letters Patent. 'p 't te s t 9 Application filed April 30, 1915. Serial No. 24,962.. p 1

i ing opening 6 for the insertion of the veil.

A clasp 12 is designed to fit over the button 13 thus holding the clasp firmly together after the veil is inserted, the teeth 7 being designed to firmly hold the veiling when the clasp is closed. A chain or cord 14: is attached to one of the stampings in any convenlent manner.

The method of operation is as follows: The clasp is first placed in an open position as shown in Fig. 1. One corner of the veil is then inserted in the opening 6 from the opposite side as shown in the drawing. The stampings 10 are then folded and clasped together securely holding the veil. The opposite corner of the veil is then inserted in the clamp member of smaller diameter, more practically shown in Fig. 4. The chain members 14 may then be very conveniently attached together in any convenient manner by means of a chain clasp 15 so that the veil will have the desired tension as also illustrated by Fig. 5. When the members 10 are folded together, the teeth 7 grip the corner of the veil positively and firmly, and the button 13 and socket 12 co-act to positively secure the members 10 in operative position. Due to the fact that the two clasp members are secured at their inner ends, any tension which is exerted by the veil will tend to force the teeth 7 outwardly so that they will grip the veil more firmly as this tension increases. This effectually eliminates any possibility of accidental opening of the clasp.

When closed, this clasp presents no sharp projections at any point, which is essential in a clasp used for this purpose. Also, it is very light and thin so as to occupy a minimum of space, and, on opening, the arcuate inner edges of the members 10 and the arrangement of teeth 7 at right angles to these members permit easy insertion of the corner of the veil.

A hair pin 16 may be conveniently used instead of a chain clasp if so desired.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim:

1. In a veil clasp, the combination of two flat members hingedly connected at their in nor ends and each provided with a plurality of teeth at its inner end, and means for positively securing the said members together at their outer ends.

2. In a veil clasp, the combination of two flat continuous members each havi ner end of a-rcuate shape and prov a plurality of teeth, said members being,

hingedly connected at their inner 5 means for positively securing the clasp.
