Specic'ation of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 6, 1920.
Application led October 31, 1919. Serial No. 334,636.
T o all 'whom/t may concern:
u Be it known that I, WALTER O. LEE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, inthe county of Wayne and State of .Michigam have invented certain new and 'useful Improvements in Buttons, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a tie button and has for its object atie button which can be used to hold the two ends of a Ifour-inhand tie together or hold any tie to the shirt. It has for its object a button 'of simple construction but reliable operation. The base of the button is of special construction to hold the head and stem in as rigid relation with the base as is possible. These and y,other objects will ,appear when the detail Vconstruction is understood. l
In the drawings,-
Figure 1 is alongitudinal section of theV while an 'annular member j is adapted to becrimped under the lining f, over the peripheries of the disks and over the rings z' and the ring portion h of the stone, thereby assembling all the parts of the head together.
The stem c to make it possible to pierce any fabric very readily. Somewhat above the place where the taper for the point begins is an annular groove Z.
The base is formed with three parts that easily fit together. The circular plate m has a cylindrical neck drawn from its center as at n. The neck has a turned-in lip o adapted to engage closely againstthe stem to prevent the stem from moving laterally with respect to the base. Within this has a sharp point c calculated A drawn 'neck portion n is a specially constructed spring sleeve p which is almost the same shape as the neck portion, being a cylinder split part way down with in-turned prongs g which are adapted to engage in the annular groove l of the stem. The cylindrical interior of this sleeve is only slightly larger than the cylindrical portion of the stem c between the annular groove Z and the beginning of the taper that forms the "point c. Hence this intervening portionengaging with thev walls of the spring A sleeve and the stem engaging closely with the lip o of the neck serve as a two-point' bearing, the contacts being at somewhat spaced points to hold the stem as nearly erect with respect to the base as possible. This is quite fa marked improvement over the previous buttons of this'character. The opposite end ofthe sleeve p is flared out into a bell as at 1, this engaging under the circular plate at the point where it merges into the neck n. The lining disk s has its edges turned over the periphery of the circular plate m and this serves to tightly hold the flared end of the spring sleeve p in engagement with the circular plate and Aalso covers the opening into the neck portion.
The prong t is soldered on to the lining f and serves to embed itself in a fabric to pre- Y vent the turning of the head. .YVhat I claim is:
A neck-tie button, having in combination,
a head, a stem with a pointed end attached theretoand lhaving an annular groove near l its pointed end but with an intervening cylindrical portion, a base having a drawn-in perforated center through which the stem passes and adapted to 'engage around the portion of the stem between the annular groove and the head, and a sleeve secured -to the base within the drawn-in lcenter and fitting closely around the cylindrical portion of the stem intervening between the groove and pointed end, the end of the sleeve facing the head being split and turned in to be of less diameter than the stem to form spring prongs which can engage in the annular groove of the stem.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
WALTER O` LEE.
