Application led May 20,

To all-inkom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, MATHEW GEsrRIcH, a4

' subject of Austria-Hungary, residing at the city of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have invented new and use-ful Improvements in Collar-Buttons, ofwhich the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to improvements in collar buttons, and is especially directed to the type of buttons (as commonly employed to unite the ends of the neck band of an apparel shirt and to secure the back of a collar to the neck band) having hinged heads for the facilitation of their insertion 'through the button holes of the collar and neck band.

My object is to provide a hinged head collar button of simple and inexpensive construction, whose various parts are capable of production at a minimum of expense and which are held assembled by a single crimp- .ing of one of the parts. s

Myimprovements consist in the novel construction, arrangement and combination of parts as hereinafter fully, clearly and con-l cisely set forth, definitely pointed out in my claims and illustrated by the accompanyingdrawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a rear face view of abutton embodying my improvements.

Fig. 2 is a side or edge view of the button.

Fig. 3-`is an enlarged vertical sectional elevation as taken onthe line indicated r11-m of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4L shows the various elements in edge or side elevations relatively segregated.

Fig. 5 is a face view of the spring disk. Fig. 6 is a face view of the bearing disk. Fig. 7 is a face view of the hinged head,

. and

Fig. 8 is an inverted sectional plan view taken on the line fz/-g/ of Fig. 7.

Referring to the drawing, by numerals, 9 designates the back of the button which is constructed oi sheet material and preferably formed into concavo-conveX shape and provided with a continuous marginal flange 10. l

The numeral 11 designates a spring-disk constructed of resilient material such as sheet steel which as best shown in Fig. 3 is ci lesser diameter than the back 9 whereby Specification of Letters Patent.

spurs. 12, arranged to project axially therefrom and which function to 4hold the button `properly positioned by their engagement withthe'neck band.

- rlhe numeral 13 designates the bearingdisk, whose diameter is vsuch as to permit it to be itted closely within the flange 10 of the back piece 9 and which is provided with the cut out 1/1 the pressed bearings 15 and the pair of perforations 16.

The hinged head comprises avsubstantially disk-shaped vbody 17, a shank 18, bent at an angle relative to the body, a foot flange 19 and a pair of pintles 20.

All of the parts just recited are `preferably, by reason of economy, made of sheet material and by cutting` and forming dies.

The assemblage consists in the placement oi the spring disk lliwithin the back 9, with the spurs extended outwardly away from the back, the hinged head is then related to the bearingdisk 13 byinserting its shank 18 through the cut out 14 and resting its pintles 20 in the pressed bearings 15 with the foot flange 19 projecting opposite the disk shaped body 17. 4

The bearing disk, with the hinged head is then placed within the flange 10` of the back with the vfoot flange 19 bearing against the spring-disk 11 and its pair of perforations 16 placed over the spurs 12 and then permanentlyk secured by a crimping oi the flange 10, as shown in Fig. 3.

It will be observed that the spring-disk` is normally plane when the head is in functioning position and that the spring-disk is bearing against the foot :flange to hold the hinged headk against movement. -By manually exerting pressure on the head to swing it to open position, the foot lange as swung it may reside therewithin, and struck frompjigijhead, a spring-disk bearing against the footthe body of the disk 11 there is a pair oifflange of the head, and a single element arranged to form a button back and a uniting means for the head, pivotal support and spring-disk.

2. In a collar button, a bearing-disk, a head having an angular shank for extension through the bearing-disk pintles for journaling in the hearing-disk, and a foot-flange, a Spring-disk arranged to hear upon the foot-flange of the head,` and a back having a marginal flange servingas a means to hold all the parts assembled.

3. In a collar button of they class deseribed, a head having an angular shank, and

a foot flange, a pivotal support for the head,

a spring-disk bearing against the shank of the head, a single element of conoavoeonvex section arranged to form a button back and a uniting means for thehead, pivotal support and spring-disk, and a spur extending fromthe spring disk, Jfor the purpose stated.

4., In a collar button,- substantially a bearing disk, a head having an angular shank ing as a means to hold all the parts in con-Ul cavo-convex assemblage, and a spur extend- Ving from ythe spring disk, forthe` purpose stated. V Y

In "testimony` whereof I hereuntoy my signature.
