FASTENING DEVICES FOR BBOOCHES AND OTHER ARTICLES.
Application filed February a, 1921.
T 0 all whomv'f may concern: 1
Be it known that I, Josnr PE'JOHAR, a citizen of the United States, and resident of the borough of Brooklyn, county of Kings. city and State of New York, have invented cer tain new and useful Improvements in Fastening Devices for Brooches and Other Articles, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to fastening devices for brooches and other articles, and its object is to provide a device of this character which is very simple in construction, yet very effective in operation.
According to a preferred embodiment of my invention shown in the accompanying drawings, I provide means whereby the brooch or other article may be securely fastened in the position in which it is to be used or worn and locked in such position, without danger of the securing device opening accidentally, and there is therefore no danger of the brooch or other article being lost or stolen.
In these drawings I have shown my invention as applied to a brooch or bar pin of well-known character, but it will be obvious that it is applicable to other articles, such as buttons, badges, etc, in fact to any article which it is desired to secure to a garment or other piece of fabric in such a manner that it can be easily removed therefrom.
Fig. 1 shows in side elevation a brooch or bar pin provided with my improved securing and locking device; Fig. 2 is a top view of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is an enlarged end view of the brooch, looking in the direction of the arrow 3 in Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is a view showing on an enlarged scale a portion near the right-hand end of Fig. 1; Figs. 5 and 6 are enlarged sections on lines 5-5 and 6-6 respectively of Fig. 2; Fig. 7 is an enlarged section on line 77 of Fig. 1, but showing the parts in a different position so as to illustrate the manner of effecting the locking of the device; and Fig. 8 is a view similar to Fig. 6 but showing still another step in the locking operation.
The brooch or bar pin comprises a base or body member A provided at one end with a hinge member formed of a plurality of spaced hinge eyes B adapted to receive between them the hinge eyes C of the securing pin which inthe particular embodiment shown consists of two spaced prongs C, C.
Serial No. 443,507.
A hinge pin or pintle B completes the hinge. The prongs C, C are preferably connected rigidly, adjacent to the hinge, by a short bar or bridging member D which may for instance be soldered to the prongs, so that the two prongs will be compelled to move 1n unison.
At or near its other end the body member A carries, rigidly secured thereto, aholding member or keeper E adapted to hold at times the free ends of the prongs C, C, which ends may be pointed in the usual manner, as shown. The keeper E consists of a central member E forming a loop in which is held rigidly a short pin F, and of two side members E, E forming hooks for holding the prongs C, C when the brooch or bar pin is in the closed position. The keeper E is further provided with a transversely-extending slot E of a height greater than the diameter or thickness of the pin F, and in this slot is adapted to slide a locking member G which. is preferably rectangular and, has a similarly-shaped opening through which extends the pin F. It will be seen that the locking member or slide G can be moved in the slot E (in which it is guided) in a direction transverse to the brooch, that.
is, transverse to the prongs C, C, and that this movement is limited in either direction by one of the side edges of the opening G coming in contact with the pin F (see Figs. 7 and 8). The slide G is of such a length that in its middle position (Fig. 6) it covers the openings of both holding members or hooks E, E
The operation and advantages of my device will be apparent: When it is desired to attach the brooch or other article to a garment or other piece of fabric, the prongs, which preferably move in unison, as described, are swung to their open position, whereupon they may be inserted into the fabric. The slide G is then moved to one side (Fig. 7), thus uncovering the opening adj acent to one of the hooks, E. The corresponding prong, C, can then be swung into engage ment with the hook E, this slight independent movement of one prong with respect to the other being possible, in spite of their rigid connection, owing to the elasticity of the prongs. Thereupon the slide G is moved to its other extreme position (Fig. 8), thus uncovering the entrance opening adjacent to the other hook, E and the prong C is then sprung into engagement With its hook or holding member. Fig. 8 shows in dotand-dash lines the original position of the prong C, and in full lines the prong in the act of sliding into the hook opening. After the prong has snapped into the hook E the slide G is moved to its middle position, F ig. 6, in which it closes the entrance openings of both holding members and thus prevents both prongs from again leaving their holding members. I thus eflectively prevent accidental opening of the brooch or other article. and the wearer is thus insured against loss or theft of the article.
It will be noted that even if one of the prongs should snap out of its holding mem her, say by the locking member G accidentally sliding to one side, the other prong will still hold the brooch or other article in position, since the slide still closes the openhaving a central member and two holding hooks at opposite sides thereof, with an entrance adjacent to the "free end of each hook for the passage 01 the respective prongs, and a locking slide movable transversely adjacent to said hook ends to free or close said entrances alternately.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification.
