CUFF LINK.
APPLICATION FILED SEPT. 11. 1919.

IIVl/E/VTOR F. A. GILL,
WITNESSES ATTORNEYS ROBERT ANTHONY GILL, OF BERLIN, NEW HAMPSHIRE.
CUFF-LINK.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 9, 1920.
Application filed September 11, 1919. Seria1.No.323,069.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ROBERT A. GILL, a citizen of the Dominion of Canada, and a resident of Berlin, in the'county of Coos and State of New Hampshire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cufi-Links, of which the following is a specification.
My invention is an improvement in cuff links, and has for its object to provide a link of the character specified especially adapted for connecting link cuffs with the ends inclining toward each other instead of lapped in such a manner that they will be held in such inclined position without bending of the cuff or danger of the breaking of the same when stiff cufis are used.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a horizontal section through a cufl' at the link;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of one of the links.
The present embodiment of the invention is shown in connection with a cuff 1 having buttonholes 2 at its ends for receivingthe link. The link, in the present instance, is
stamped or cut from sheet metal of suitable character and weight.
The improved link is a substantially U-shaped member, comprising a body 1 and arms 2 extending at an obtuse angle with respect to the body, that is, the arms diverge from each other. The link thus has a concave side and a convex side, and the convex side is notched at the center, as indicated at 3, the notch having two branches 4: which extend substantially parallel with the curved edge of the link at the opposite sides of the center. Thus two heads 5.are formed, rigidly I connected, integral in the present instance,
whose planes are inclinedto meet at something less than a right angle, and these heads are passed through the buttonholes as shown in Fig. 1, being of greater length than the, length of the buttonholes.
The notches 34 in the present instance have ornamental outline, and it will be obvious that the outer faces of the heads might be suitably ornamented if desired.
vA link of the character specified may be cut or stamped from sheet metal, each link requiring but a single operation, and the links may be of any suitable material as, for instance, gold, silver, aluminum, or the links may be plated or filled with gold. The links are easily inserted or removed, and because of the peculiar relation of the heads they hold the ends of the out]? in perfect shape without bending or danger of breakin I claim: V
A cufi' link comprising a body formed of sheet material stamped or cut to shape and comprising heads converging toward one end of the body, a shank connecting the heads, a tongue extending from the side of the shank toward the converging ends of the heads and arranged with its edges in spaced relation to the adjacent edges of the heads whereby to define branch slots leading into a common opening between the converging ends of the heads, the edges of said tongue and the adjacent edges of the heads being serpentine whereby to form portions extending toward each other in very close relation. for clamping engagement with the edges of a cuif within the button holes of which the device is engaged.
