CUFFrLINK.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 25, 1919.
Application led August 13, 1918. Serial No. 249,713.
To all LU/wm t may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE P. CRAGIN, a citizen of dhev United States, residing at Spokane, in the county of Spokane and State of Washington, have invented new and useful Improvements in Oud Links, of which theV following is a specification.
y present invention pertains to cuflinks, and it contemplates the provision of a device for attaching the Well-known stiff four button-hole cuff, or the eight buttonhole folded soft cuff, to tlhe Wristband of the shirt in such a manner that the cuff may be used as a link-culi, reversible after one portion thereofhas been soiled.
It is a Well-known fact, that with linktab cuffs, such as are at present in use, it is impossible to reverse the cuffs and thereby prolong their cleanly appearance. With the cuffs attached to the shirt, it is necessary to change the shirt after a short period of Wear, on account of the cuffs becoming soiled, and it is to overcome these objections that I provide my novel-link.
With the foregoing in mind, the invention will be fully understood from the following description and claims when the same is read in connection with the drawings accompanying and forming part of this specification, in whidhl:
Figure l, is a view illustrating a portion of a shirt sleeve, Wristband and a stiff cuff attached and the novel-link to attach said cuff to the Wristband of the shirt sleeve.
Fig. 2, is a section taken in the plane of the line 2 2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3, is a detail view of my preferred novel-link.
Figs. 4, and 5 cnovel-links.
Referring to said drawings, and particularly to Figs. 1 to 3 thereof:
1, is a shirt sleeve, having the usual wristband 2, and a button hole 5. 4, is the ordinary well-known four-button-hole stiff cuff, provided at either end with buttonholes for attaching on'wlristband of shirt sleeve 1, the soft cuff being attached in the same manner.
My preferred novel-link comprises a ring 6, having a shank 7 of Wire or other suitable material. The said shank 7, is constructed at eitlher end so as to form eyes or loops 8 and 9 respectively. The eye 8, securely retains the ring 6, while the eye 9 is for the reception of a button 10, which has a are views of modified ring 11 vat the back thereof. The said ring 11 is by preference integral with the button 10.
In the practical use of my device, he cuff is adjusted in the present well-known manner, after which the ring 6 of the link is passed over the sleeve-button O and held in place by buttoning the outer back-buttonhole of the cuff onto the said sleeve-button, While the corresponding button-#hole of the cuff is held in place by the button 10 of the novel-link. It will be seen that this will present a neat appearance, thoroughly practi-cal, the novel-link invisible, and furthermore the operation can be accomplished, either adjusting or removing, witlhout loss of time or patience.
It will be readily appreciated that when using my novel-link, commercially, it will be necessary for the manufacturer to make only the regular four-button-hole stiff cuffs, such as are usually carried by haberdashers in white, or the siX or eight-buttonhole folded soft cuff, and .by applying my novel-link, two to be furnished with eachV shirt, the cuffs are immediately changed to reversible, neat-fitting, practical link-cuffs which will have double the exposed wearing surface of tab-cuffs or Jdhose stili' or soft cuffs attached to the shirt.
It is also quite an advantage over the wellknown tab-cuff (one-way) as in the use of said tab-cuffs, the cuffs usually become soiled long before the shirt, and equally so those cuffs attached to the shirt itself, either the stiff or soft kind in any case requiring eXtra laundrying and wear and tear.
In the modified views of the drawings, I have shown first in Fig. 4, the shank 7, formed of bendable material, and the rings 6 and 10 as integral therewith.
In Fig. 5, the shank is shown with a spring hook or semi-ring 14, which springs over the top of the sleeve button, its flexibility holding it in place while the cuff is being buttoned on and serving the same purpose as the ring 6, Fig. 3.
It will be gathered from the foregoing, that my novel-link in its various designs is simple of construction, inexpensive to produce and contains no delicate parts liable to get out of order.
What I claim ters-Patent is:
l. As a new article of manufacture, a cufflink for attaching separate culi to Wristband and desire to secure by Letof shirt, the Combination of a metal shank, a loop formed at one end thereof and a button Secured to the opposite end thereof.
2. As a new article of manufacture, a cufflink for attaching separate cuff to Wristband of shirt, the combination of a metal shank, a
loop formed of same material and a button having an 'integral ring` at the back thereof, the said shank being provided With eyes 10 whereby the loop may be held at one end thereof and the button at the oppoSite end thereof.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of tWo subscribing Witnesses.
