T 'OIIFICE WILLIAM J". KEITH, 0F CRANSTON, RHODE ISLAND.
ORNAMENTAL BUCKLE.
Specification of Letters latent.
Patented Oct. 28, 1919.
Application filed. January 25, 1919. Serial No. 273,003.
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, l/VILLIAM J. KEITH, citizen of the United States, residing at Cranston, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ornamental Buckles, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to that class of buckles intended primarily for use upon shoes and slippers and in which it is sought to avoid the use of a cross bar and filler piece, the disadvantages of which are well known in the art.
The essential. objects of my invention are to attain the ends commonly sought in this type of buckle; especially to avoid the use of threads as an attaching element; to facilitate the attachment and removal of the buckle to and from the shoe or other article sought to be engaged thereby; to insure against accidental disengagement; and to attain these ends in a structure capable of being stamped up, inclusively of the attaching means, from two thin pieces of sheet metal, and assembled and attached with speed and certainty.
To the above ends essentially my invention consists of such parts and combinations of parts as fall within the scope of the appended claim.
In the accompanying drawings which form a part of this specification- Figure 1 is a front elevation of a buckle embodying my invention,
Fig. 2, a longitudinal section of the same on line 2-2 of Fig. 1,
Fig. 8, a rear elevation of the same, and
Fig. 4, a transverse section on line 44lof Fig. 3.
Like reference characters indicate like parts throughout the views.
In detail my buckle comprises a face plate 6 cut and stamped from a thin sheet metal blank, preferably of oblong outline, and, in this instance, longitudinally and trans versely curved.
In this case also the plate is dished or concaved slightly producing a peripheral flanged portion 7. Integral with each end of the plate is an attaching ear 9.
A back plate 10 to which the frame is attached is also cut and bent by suitable tools from a blank of thin metal and conforms in outline to the plate 6 except that it extends beyond the latter affording an. exposed peripheral 0r marginal portion 11 when viewed from the front. This exposed portion is for the well known purpose of displaying the color of the plate 11 which usually is that of the article to which the buckle is to be attached. This color is usually applied by cnameling, japanning, or by covering with a fabric, in a manner well known in this art.
When the plate is formed the material is cut therefrom forming openings 13, and a portion of the material remaining after such cutting forms oppositely directed flat arms 14 provided with pointed extremities 15, which arms are rearwardly bent at right an gles to the plate to form attaching prongs.
The plate 10 has near its ends slots 17 through which pass the lugs 9 which are manually bent against the back of the plate 10 and retain the plate 6 in engagement therewith.
To attach the described buckle, the prongs 14 may be manually inserted into the material of the shoe and be clenched therein.
An important advantage of this structure consists in the possibility of first attaching the back plate to the shoe or other article, and thereafter attaching the face plate thereto, whereby not only is the attaching means of the back plate obscured, but a faciled method of attachment is attained.
I claim In a buckle of the character described the combination of a back plate comprising in a single piece a body portion and flat pointed prongs serving as the attaching means of the buckle, and provided with marginal slots, and a front plate resting against the back plate, and lugs on the front plate registering in the slots.
In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature.
WILLIAM J. KEITH.
