Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 6, 1921.
Application filed March 25, 1921. Serial No. 455,523.
To aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, HERMAN KAPo'rKrN, a citizen of the United States and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Soft-Collar Clasps, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has for its main object to produce an artistically attractive, effective and practical device of securing the adjacent ends of soft collars in proper relation and incidentally to act as a support for the tie used in connection with the collar.
A further purpose is to provide a. fastener made of a single piece of metal so folded and bent as to aiford a pair of spring clips easy to apply or remove, that unfailingly holds the parts as adjusted and which does not tend to deface or wear the collar by long continued use.
These and other like objects are attained by the novel construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and shown in the accompanying drawings, forming a material part of this disclosure, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the application of the clasp.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the clasp in detail looking at the outer side.
Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the same looking on line 33 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the clasp looking from the under side.
Fig. 5 is an enlarged transverse sectional view taken on line 5-5 of Fig. 2.
Referring in detail to the drawings, a blank, substantially H shaped is stamped from any suitable material, as celluloid, tortoise shell, gold, silver or the baser metals, the edges being smoothly finished as befits an article of the type.
At the center of the longe element is a fiat essentially rectangular plate portion 10 adapted to receive an impression or be engraved in any desired manner.
Extending from the narrower ends of the plate 10 are opposed arms 11, tapering slightly toward their ends 12 and curved to a radius corresponding with that of the collar to which the clasp is applied, the extreme ends being bent outwardly, opposite to the main curve for purposes further on apparent.
Formed with one of the longer sides of the plate 10, by a blending curve of short radius, is a connecting element 14: joining the shorter, under clamp element 15, which is curved similarly but to a lesser degree than the outer elements 11.
The under elements 15 are offset or bent upward at 15 and merge into pads 17 disposed in normal intimate contact with the bottom surface of the elements 11, and which, like them, are slightly tapered and terminate in out-turned ends 18 extending outward a lesser distance than the corresponding ends 12 which overlie them.
This construction afi'ords spaces 19 for the reception of the thickened binding or edge 20 of the collar 21, the main solid portions of which are firmly clamped between the elements 11 and 17 and held under spring pressure in proper adjustment.
In operation, the oppositely disposed prongs 12 and 1 8 are forced apart b insert ing the collar structure and the c asp adjusted upon the adjacent ends of the collar at any preferred height and below the tie (not shown) as may be desired.
Due to the resiliency of the material used, the collar is maintained in correct adjustment and a neat, attractive form of clasp is provided.
It is to be noted that no rivets, solder or other fastening means are required and that no pins are used to injure and deface the collar, the smooth edges of the clasp being incapable of disfiguring or damaging the shirt or collar in any manner.
Having thus described the invention and set forth the manner of its construction, application and use, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A clasp for soft collars comprising a unitary structure formed from a plate of uniform thickness bent upon itself and presenting opposed pairs of spring clamp arms tapering from the center outward and having spaces between their points of contact, the outer of said arms being longer than the inner, said inner arms having distinctly defined gripping pads and outwardly bent terminals on all of said arms permitting access to the mentioned spaces.
2. A clasp for soft collars comprising a plate, oppositely extending spring arms formed therewith, said arms being tapered toward their ends, and curved in accordance with the collar, outwardly bent terminals at the ends of said arms, a second pair of arms disposed below the first named arms, offset pads formed with said second arms in contact with the first named arms, outwardly bent terminals on said second arms, said second arms being shorter than the first,
and a connection between said plate and said second arms, all of said elements being of integral construction.
3. A collar holder composed of a blank slit on each side of its center to leave a web,
name to this specification.
