Application filez llseptember s, 1920, Serial Nd. 407,836.1 Renewed September 22; 1921. Serial no. 502,510.
To all-whom it may] concern i Be it known that L'THoMAs A. J HEN- mun, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fulton, lVheeling, in the county of Ohio and State of West Virginia, have invented certain new and usefulllnprovements in Buttons, of which the following is a speciiication.
This invention relates to improvementsin fastening devices and more particularly to buttons especially. adapted for application to garments though not necessarily restricted to such use. l i i i e an important object of this, invention is to provide a button which may be readily and conveniently applied to a garment orthe like without employing a needle and thread asis customary. f e.
rt" iurther object of the invention is to provide a button which when'appliedto a garment orthe like will not pull loose as the resulto'i continued strain. i
1 further object of the invention is to provide a garment button having novel means whereby the body of the'same is spaced from. the portion of thegarment to which it isattached so that the button may I be readily engaged with the portion of the garment, having the buttonhole.
A further object of the inventionis toproride a button of the class described which is simple, neat in appearance, andqcheap to manufacture. l
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent during thecourse of the following description.
In the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this application, and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same:
Figure 1 is a button,
Figure 2 is a central vertical sectional view through the improved button applied,
Figure 3 is a perspective of an attaching member embodied in the invention,
Figure 4- is a similar view of an attaching shank embodied in the invention.
In the drawing. wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodiment of the invention, the numeral 5 generally designates the improved button which consists of a disk-like body 6 adapted to be passed through the buttonhole of a garment. As illustrated in Figure 2, the body 6 is formed adjacent its center with an offset plan view of the improved annular'portioni' which surrounds the centrally arran'gedopening 8 formed in, the
body. 'It will be noted, however, that the annular portion 7 issp'aced outwardly irom the opening so as to form an annular flange 9 about the opening 8, which flangeis fiatly engagedby the "annular laterally projecting fian'ge' l0 of an attachingshank 11. When the atta'chin shank '11 isiextended through the opening 8, the fiangelO is disposed'beneaththesurjt'ace ofthebodyfi by reason v ofthe oifsetportion7 which' forms'a centrally arrangedrecess in the body. The cylindrical body ofthe shank 11 has its forw-ardend'beveled as'indicated at 14 so as to readily "pass throughthe opening 8 and so as to spread the inwardly extending prongs or gripping members 16 of the upstanding annularside wall 17 ofthe body plate '18.
'The upstanding annular side wall 17 of the plate 18 surrounds" a centrally arranged opening 20 which is adapted for the reception otthe cylindrical bodyof the shank 11; By reason of thefact that the upstanding side wall Not the attaching'plate isprovided with aplurality of transverseincisions22 the cylindrical body of the shank 11 may spread the wall 17 so that the inwardly extending prongs or gripping members 16 may round the body of the shank 11 and securely engage the same upon the entrance of the body of the shank into the opening 20.
In applying the improved button, the attaching plate or body 18 is arranged on the inner side of a portion of the garment or other material and the upstanding side wall 17 is passed through an opening formed in the material. The body 6 of the button may now be arranged on the outer side of garment with the opening 8 of the same alined with the opening 20 in the'attaching body so that the cylindrical body of the shank 11 may be passed through the opening 8 and into the opening 20. The movement of the shank into the opening 20 causes the arcuate gripping members of the upstanding side wall to be spread slightly and subsequently enter the annular groove 24, whereupon the shank will be securely connected to the attaching body or plate. It will be observed. that the material ofthe garment is v confined between the flange 9 and the attaching plate .18 and a ,space remains between the major portion of the body 6 and the material of the garment. This'prevents crowding of the material having thebuttonhole and allows the button'to be readily connected to the material. It is, therefore,
I apparent'that the offset portion 7 in additionfto forming a recessin the outer portion of the body serves as .amean's for'spacing the major portion or the button tr'om the material to which it is attached whereby the button may be readily connected to a piece of material.
It is to be understood that the form of f the invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the sameland that such minor changes inarrangement and construction of parts may be made as will remain within the spirit of the invention and the scope of what is claimed.
Having thus described the invention, what 7 is claimedas-new is:
1. A button comprising a .body' havingan opening and anoflset portion surrounding saidopening and forming va recess and a flangaan attaching shank extending through said opening and having a fiangearranged 3. A button comprising a body having an opening and an offset portion surrounding said opening and forming a recess and a .flange, said flange being adapted to flatly abut the material to which the button is connected, a shank extending through said opening, and an attaching bodyconnected with said shank; said offset portion of said-body spacing the major portion of the body from the material to which the button is connected. y p i V A button comprising a body having an opjeningpa' shank extending through said opening and engaging said body,' and an attaching plate'having an upstanding annular side wall provided with a plurality of inwardly extending grippingelements engaging said shank.
with ashank, and an attaching plate provided with an upstanding side wall formed of a plurality of arcuate sections having means engaging said shank, the forward portion of said shankbeing beveled.
6. A button comprising a body having a shank, and an attaching body'having a centrally arranged opening and an upstanding annular side wall surrounding said opening and provided with lnwardly extending gripping members, said shank being provided with an annular groove adapted to receive Said gripping members.
. 7. A button comprising a body provided with av shank having its forward portion beveledya body provided with a plurality ofv arcuate sections having inwardly extending terminal portions beveled at their ends, said shank being provided with a groove adapted to receive the terminal portions of said arouate sections, said groove having inclined sidewalls. V
In testimony whereofI affix my signature.
