ROBERT G. CLARK, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
FASTENING DEVICE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 15, 1917.
Application filed. March 6, 1916. Serial No. 82,320.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ROBERT G. CLARK, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York. county of Kings, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fastening Devices, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a fastening de vice, the object being to provide a simple and efiicient device of this nature which may be used for the usual purpose of snap buttons, hooks and eyes, etc.
In carrying out the invention I provide a number of complementary members which are each constructed from a single piece of resilient wire, or other suitable material, and formed to be received one upon the other and held together against lateral movement, but which may be separated in a transverse direction. These members may be sewed or otherwise secured to the edges or other portions of the material with which the same are used.
The above and otherobjects and features of the invention will be obvious from the following description of the invention as illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which the like parts in the several views have been given same reference numerals.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of one of the fastening members.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the other fastening member.
F 8 is a perspective view showing both members in position one upon the other.
The member shown in Fig. 1 which may be termed a socket member is formed by bending a single piece of resilient wire in a substantially flat form, with projecting ends 1 and 2 which form attaching loops whereby it may be secured to a garment or other part, and intermediate portions 3 and at. These portions 3 and a are disposed between the end portions 1 and 2 and the middle portion 5 of the wire, such middle portion 5 being also preferably bent to form an additional attaching loop. These various parts may be of any suitable form, preferably that shown in Fig. 1.
The intermediate portions 3 and 4 are preferably formed in semi-circular outline and together form an opening which may be enlarged by pressing the projecting ends 1 and 2 together, the purpose of which will be explained hereinafter.
The other fastening device which may be termed a stud. member is also formed from a single piece of resilient wire with the end portions, 6 and 7 and an opposite end portion 8 preferably in the form of attaching loops, these end portions being preferably formed in the same plane, as shown in Fig. 2. The intermediate portions 9 and 10 of this member are bent upwardly in inverted U-shaped portions extending in diverging directions from the end or base portions 6, 7 and 8 to form projecting portions preferably extending in diverging planes, as shown in .Fig. 2, and which are adapted to be received in the opening formed by the intermediate portions 3 and 4 of the first named member, when said parts are placed one upon the other as shown in Fig. 3. The two legs of each U- shaped portion are parallel to one another. This arrangement insures a snug fit of the stud in the socket in cases where one of the members is arranged at right angles to the position shown in Fig. 8.
When the members are to be engaged the end portions 1 and 2 are brought together, thus enlarging the opening formed by the intermediate portions 3 and 4, to enable the members to be more readily engaged or p0 sitioned together. As the end portions 1 and 2 are released the intermediate portions 3 and 4 are brought together, by reason of the resiliency of the wire, and engage the same upon either side of the projecting portions 9 and 10 of the other member. As these members 9 and 10 extend in an angular direction and as the same are resilient the tendency is to hold the two parts together against lateral movement.
When it is desired to separate the members the ends 1 and 2 are again brought to gether, thus enlarging the opening between 3 and t and permitting the member to be readily separated in a transverse direction.
It will be thus seen that when these mem bers are attached to two portions of the article to be fastened the same provides a very simple and convenient form of fastening device, which may be cheaply manufac tured and which is very efficient for the purpose and uses of devices of this nature.
It will be understood that while, for the purpose of providing a construction which may be made at a small cost, I prefer to make both members of wire, as shown, that it may be desirable in some cases to make one of these members of other material. For instance, the member shown in Fig. 1 may be a flat disk with an opening adapted to be received over the projecting portion of the member shown in Fig. 2, or the member shown in Fig. 2 may be made of other suitablematerial and provided with a projection adapted to be received in the opening in the member shown in Fig. 1. In either construction the resilient construction of the wire member enables the combined devices to be used in the manner hereinbefore set forth.
hat I claim is:
1. A stud member for a fastening device having a base portion provided with means whereby the fastener may be attached to a garment. and cooperating U-shaped members having their respective legs adjacent one another at said base portion and diverging away from one another and from said base port on.
2. A stud member for a fastening device having a base portion provided with means whereby the fastener maybe attached to a garment and cooperating Ushaped members having their respective legs adjacent 7 one another at sald base p ortlon and Cll verging away from one another and from said base portion each of sand U-shaped lel to one another.
1 members having its legs substantially par-ah 3. The stud member for a fastening "de vice comprising the attaching loops 6, 7 and Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents.
