BUCKLE.
Application led July 21, 1923.
To all Iwhom t may concern:
Be it known that we, DE VER II. WARNER and LOUIS B. LovEJoY, both citizens of the United States, residing at Bridgeport, in the county of Fairfield, State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Buckles, of which the following is a description. j
Our invention relates to buckles such as are used for hose supporters, Suspenders and the like. It has for its object the provision of a buckle of this character which shall bel economical to manufacture, which shall have means for securing it effectively to the webbing with which it is to be used, with a minimum of labor and without waste of webbing, and which shall be capable of ready manipulation and adjustment.
Our improved buckle is of the general type sometimes known as a clinch buckle, by which is meant a buckle which is secured to the webbing by clinching it thereto and without the use of stitching. We provide the clinching means by bending up from the bottom, teeth which have at their ends sharp prongs. The back plate is provided with openings adapted to register with these prongs, and at the bottom between adjacent teeth, with one or more downward projections adapted to assist in the manipulation and adjustment of the buckle, as hereinafter explained.
- The buckle is adapted to be strung rustless.
In the accompanying drawing, Fig. 1 is a front view of one form of our improved buckle showing the manner of securing the end of the webbing thereto. Fig. 2 is a section taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, and Figs. 3, 4 and 5 are views similar to Fig. 1, showing modifications.
Our buckle comprises a back plate A pro vided with the usual ears B on which is mounted the pivotal clamping lever C. The bottom of the plate A is cut to form the teeth D which are bent up into a position substantially parallel to the back plate. These teeth are preferably pointed, and bent over at their ends to form prongs E.
To secure the end of the webbing W to the buckle, it is placed between the teeth and the back plate, and the teeth. are then swaged down against the webbing. The
Serial No. 652,884.
y ably formed one or more projections between teeth, which projections remain in their original downwardly 'extending position, and serve as a means for steadying the back plate when the clamping lever C is manipulated. In the form of buckle shown in Fig. 1, there is` only one of these downwardly extending projections Gr. In Fig. 3 we have shown two of these projections G G, similar in form to the projection vG of Fig. 1,
'and in Fig. 4 there are two projections G2 G2, of somewhat different shape. In the buckle of Fig. 5, the downwardly extending projection G3 is in the form of a bail. EX- cept for the number and shape of the projections, the buckles of Figs. 3, 4 and 5 are substantially the same as Figs. 1 and 2, and therefore do not require further description.
In applying our improved buckle to the webbing, the end of the webbing which is to be secured to the buckle is inserted between the back plate and the bent-up, pronged teeth. The teeth are then swaged down toward the webbing and back plate, so that the prongs penetrate the webbing, being free to do so by reason of the registering openings in the back plate. The running length of the webbing then passes up between the back plate and clamping lever, over the top edge of the back plate and downwardly, covering the back plate and forming a loop, and thence passes upwardly between the clamping lever and the portion of the webbing which lies in front of the back plate.
As vwill appear to those skilled in the art, the means which we have provided for securingfthe end of the webbing to the buckle lare unusually efficient, and also are very economical of metal and webbing, as well as of labor. Furthermore, we provide, also without waste of metal, the downwardly extending projection or projections, to which we have referred. These projections lie within the webbing loop, when the buckle is in use, and extend down below the endr of' the clamping lever C when closed; The result is that when the clamping lever is either opened or closed, the thumb or finger of the.
operator naturally supports these projections, and therefore the buckle back, against the natural tendency to move with the clamping lever. of the thumb and linger the web loop itself, embracingthese projections as it does, has az decided steadying eifect upon the buckle, and materially assists manipulation of the clamping lever 'for adjustment purposes. @if course these projections may be of any desired Jform, the forms shown in the drawingbeing merely illustrative. i
The terms and expressions which we have employed are used as terms of description andnot of limitation, and we have no intention,l in the use of such terms and expressions of excluding any equivalent ofthe features shown and described, or portions thereof, but recognize that various modications are possible within the scope of' the invention claimed.
What we claim is:
1. A buckle comprising a back plate provided with upstanding ears in which y a clamping leveris pivota-lly mounted, the lower edge of said back plate being cut into teeth which are bent up andy adapted for securing the end of a piece of webbingl to And even in the absencek said buckle, said teeth being provided at their ends with prongs adapted to penetrate said webbing, and saidback plate being provided with openings which register with and are adapted to receive said prongs, the running length ofy the webbingA passing up between the back plate and lever, thence across the upper edge of said back plate and down, to form a loop, and thence up between said clamping lever and the secured end ofthev webbing.
2. A buckle comprising a back plate provided1 with upstanding ears in which a clamping lever is. pivotally mounted, the lower edge of said back plate being cut into teeth which are bent up and adapted for securing the end of a piece of webbing to said buckle, said teeth being provided at their ends with prongs adapted'to penetrate said webbing, and .said back plate being provided" with openings which register with and are adapted to receive said prongs, and being provided also, at itslo'wer edge,with
vone or more, downwardly extending projections formed by the cutting out of said teeth, the running length of the webbing passing up between the back plate and lever, thence across the upper .edge of said back plate and down, to form a loop, and thence up between sa-id'l clampinglever and the secured end of the-webbing.;
