res
CARL J. HAZELTON, OF WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO AMERICAN NAB,-
ROW FABRIC COMPANY, OF MASSACHUSETTS.-
WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS, A CORPORATION OF METAL LOOP FOB GARMENT SUPPORTERS.
Application filed December 15, 1922. Serial No. 607,200.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CARL J. HAZELTON,
a citizen of the United States, residing at Worcester, in the county of Worcester and a State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Metal Loop for Garment Supporters, of which thefollowing is a specification.
This invention relates to a loop and but ton clasp employed for use in holding the top of the hose around the button on a garment supporter.
The principal object of the invention is to provide for simplifying and reducing the expense of manufacture of the metal parts of a device of this character and to avoid changes in the appearance to indicate that the expense has been decreased. The invention involves the combination of the attaching link and button loop so that they can be made of a single piece of wire and struck up in shape in a single series of operations and yet includes means for preventing the spreading of the wire under the strain to 2 which it is subjected in practice.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the lower end of a garment supporter with a preferred form of this invention applied thereto;
Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the metal piece by itself; and
Fig. 3 is ,a sectional view on the line 33 of Fig. 2.
I have shown the invention as applied to a garment supporter which at first appearance appears to be of the ordinary type and shape. The supporting strap 10, as usual, is provided with a loop at the bottom which supports in it an attaching link 11 of metal, shown in this case as of wire. This ordinarily is a separate piece hingedly connected with a metal button contacting loop 12 below. In this case I have shown them all in one piece as will appear. This loo 12 is made of any of the usual forms doubled on itself at the center to provide a loop proper at the bottom for receiving the shank of the button 13 and firmly holding the hose between the two. The top of this 100 is enlarged to admit the button as usua. Also in the usual way the top of this enlargement is provided with an ordinary lower bar or bridge 14 which is shown as consistlng of a piece of sheet metal bent around a pair of approaching bends inthe wire to bridge over this part and prevent spreading near the center of the whole structure.
From this point the wires on both sides extend upwardly, being spread outwardly at 15 to receive the button tab 16, as shown in Fig. 1. Now at this point in the ordinary construction the ends of the wire are brought together and a separate piece is provided for pivotally connecting the loop at this point to the separate attaching link 11. According to the present invention, this pivotal connection is avoided and the expense of making an additional piece is eliminated by bringing the ends of the wires upwardly at the upper part of the widened portion 15 and then spreading them outwardly in opposite directions to formarms constituting the ends of the link 11 and bringing the ends 17 of the wire together above this point and in alignment with each other to form a straight bar at the top of the attaching link for entering the loop in the bottom of the supporting strap 10.
In order to prevent spreading at this point, I provide a wire 18 across the narrowest part of the device just at the bottom of the attaching link and at the top of the loop. It is bent at its ends 19 around the wires of the loop to connect them firmly together so they will not yield and allow the ends 17 to spread apart. This also brings the extreme severed ends 19 around out of the way so that only smooth rounded surfaces are exposed.
A device of this character is connected up in the usual way, the button tab 16 being applied around the link 18 as shown in Fig. 1, and being located and employed in the usual Way. There is an advantage here because the two parts 11 and 12, having no pivotal motion on each other, do not wear the button tab at this point to any great extent. The wear due to the relative motion of the two parts when separate is eliminated.
The attachment of the whole button clasp, comprising the metallic parts and the button tab 16, to the supporting strap is very simple as the supporting strap 10 is passed through the space between the ends 17 and is doubled on itself and sewed afterwards The metal parts of this supporter constitute a one-piece rigid construction from the bottom of the loop 12 to the extreme top of the link 11, avoiding the separate manufacture of the attaching link 11 and especially avoiding the separate handling of it and the bringing of it into registration with the top of the loop 12 and the usual sheet metal connection therewith. I avoid the assemblage of these separate metal parts. The upper bar 18 does not involve additional expense as it can be considered as taking the place of the usual metal hingedpiece at the same point. It can be made of wire instead of sheet metal which is also an advantage and does not present any sharp edges to be smoothed ofl.
Although I have illustrated and described only one form of the invention, 1 am aware of the fact that modifications can be made therein by any person skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention as expressed in the claims.
Therefore I do not wish to be limited to all the details of construction herein shown and described but what I do claim 1s:
1. As an article of manufacture, a combined button loop and attaching link consisting of a piece of wire doubled on itself at the bottom to form a bottom engaging loop, extending upwardly on each side, widened to provide a space for receiving the button and having a bridge across the top of said space, the wire flaring outwardly near the top to form two opposite nearly horizontal arms and bent inwardly at the top to form two free ends in alignment and nearly in contact at their extremities, thus forming a straight upper bar for entering a loop in a supporting strap, said bar having a space through which the strap can be inserted, and a wire link extending across the device at the bottom of said arms and connected with the wires at that point to hold them together and prevent the spreading of the two ends of the device at the top.
2. As an article of manufacture, a combined button loop and attaching link of wire having an upper cross bar extending across the upper part of the loop to prevent spreading and constituting means for carrying the upper portion of a piece of tape for supporting a button to co-operate with the loop and provided with asheet metal bridge below said cross bar.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto at fixed my signature.
CARL J. HAZELTON.
