Appncauon ned March 2e, i922. Aserial No. 54:5;323.l
To @ZZ wko/m, t may concern Be it known that I, FRANKLIN lVHITn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Waterbury.l in the county of New 5 Haven and State of Connecticut, have made and invented certain new and useful Improvements in Buttons', of which the follow-- ing is a specification. y
My invention relates to an improvement in buttons and more particularly to that type or kind which is used with astaple having two prongs which. are adapted to pierce their way through the bottom of the button and bend or upset against a die contained within the button; the object of the present invention being to provide an article of this character which will comprehend aminimum number of parts, so that it shall be cheap to manufacture and assemble and wherein the prongs of the staple are turned and upset directly upon the base of the button and thus do away'with the usual holding anvil.
further object is to accomplish the aforementioned ends in a simple and expeditious manner and so construct the upsetting die which is contained within the buttoni'as to cause it to always remain fixed centrally within the button and thus be in proper position to receive the prongs of the staple thereagainst and outwardly bend the ends thereof and upset them against the impertorate base, all of which go to make up a novel, as wellv as efficient and practical, button.
With the foregoing and other objects in view. my invention consists inthe improved button illustrated in the accompanyina drawing and hereinafter ldescribed and claimed` and in such variations and modifications thereof als will be obvious to those skilled in the art to which my invention rclates. it being understood that changes may be made within the scope of what is' claimed without departing from the spirit thereof.
The preferred embodiment of my inven` tion is disclosed in the accompanying drawings. wherein:
Figure 1 is a sectional viewv of a button embodyingthe characteristic features of my invention and showingthe parts as they are about to be secured to a garment or other material;
Figure 2 is a similar view showing the button attached;
Figure `3`s a view in perspective 'of -the novel form of upsetting die;.
Referring to the drawings, the body A of` i the button is provided with a downwardly extending hollow hub B and with an imperforate ybase C, the latter being provided with a circular groove D adapted to receive the prongsl of the staplefastener F and guide them in their yspaced relation through the metal of which the base C is formed.
Located within the body of the hub is the 'upsetting die G, the same being composed of a head H and a base K, the head and base being Asubstantially circular in outline and with the base somewhat larger in diameter and lyingdirectly above the head, the two parts being preferably composed of one piece of metal. The lower surface of the head H is provided with an annular groove L, causing the formation of a central conical member M. The base K of the ups'ettnagv die is held in place by the button cap or top N and the adjoining portions of the bodv of the button. while thefhead of the upsettingl die extends down within the hollowdiub, whereby the upsetting die is'always held in proper position within the button and vis also prevented from rattling.
The lower extremity of the upsetting die' is accordingly located in close proximityrto the base of the button and with the annular groove of the die lying directly-'above the circular `groove .of the imperforate base of the button. l/Vith the parts as thuis arranged, as the staple F is forced through,` the cloth or material O, the prongs E will contact with the bottom of thecircular groove D. pierce the metal, and upon passing therethrough will contact with the-face of the upsetting' die and the ends ofthe prongs will accordingly be bent outwardly and upset, as shown in Figure 2, causing the prongs to -bend downwardly upon andclinch against the upper surface of the base of the button and thus'tightly securethe button to the cloth or material O. The button being thus tormed of but fewparts, is accordingly simple in construction, will not rattle in service` and the active face of the upsetting die will always be in proper posiL tion with relation to the base of the button so as to always cause tlie prongs' of the fastener to be spread7 upset and clinched against the inner surface of the base and thus insure the correct and secure attach-- ment of the button;
Having Ythus described and explained my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent:
A button of the character described com; prising` a body portion, ar hollow hub and a, base, a die comprising an enlarged base rest-- ing against the top of said button1 and n relatively smaller concentric head projectifieeeee ing down Within the hollow hub and lying; directly above the base of the button, the lower surface of the die head and the buse of tbe button provided with registering 2innulai' grooves.
Signed at lWaterbury, in Itlie county of New Haven and Starte of `Connecticut`r this L third day of March A. D. 1922.
