ANTHONY FUSCO, OF SARA TOGA SPRINGS, NEW YORK.

CUFF-LINK.

Specification of Iletters Patent.

Patented Apr. 2, 1918.

Application filed October 12, 1917. Serial No. 196,226.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, ANTHONY Fosco, a citizen of the United States, residing at Saratoga Springs, in the county of Saratoga and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cuff-Links, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in cuff buttons, and the principal object of the invention is to provide means whereby the button will automatically lengthen to permit the cuff to be pulled up over the arm.

Another object of the invention is to connectthe two parts of the button by a member provided with a double spring whereby the two parts may be separated so as to permit the cuff to be raised along the forearm and to be held in this raised position by the tension of thesprings, and saidsprings returning the buttons and the cuff to normal position when the cuff is lowered.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which is simple and durable in construction, reliable and efiicient in operation and one which can:

contact with the arm.

Fig. 3 is a view showing the button fully extended and in the position it assumes when the cuff is pulled up the arm.

In. these figures 1 and 2 indicate the parts adapted to engage the button holes of the cuff. These may be formed of any desired shape, though as shown, they are each provided with a ring '3 pivoted thereto by the strap 4 formed on the back of the part. 5 represents the spring member which is preferably formed of wire and provided with a coiled spring (5 at each end thereof. The free ends of the wire are located centrally of the member and are secured to the rings 3. These ends are so arranged that the part 1 is on one side of the member and the part 2 on the opposite side.

[hen the button is inserted in the cuff the coiled springs will hold the button with the edges of the cuif meeting each other. When the cutl is pulled up the arm the springs will permit the parts 1 and 2 to separate as shown in Fig. 2 so that the tension of thesprings will hold the cuff in lowered the springs will return the parts to normal position.

It. is thought from the foregoing descrip tion that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make slight changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope ofthe appended claim.

l/Vhat I claim is A cuff-button comprising a member made of wire and consisting of a straight part and a coil at each end thereof and the ends of said member after leaving the coils extending inwardly toward each'other and a button secured to each of said ends.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

ANTHONY FUSCO.
