DANIEL N'. BAKER AND JOSEPH PARISEAU, OF NOR-TH ATTLEBORQ, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNORS TO W. G. CLARK @a CO., INC., GF NORTH .ATTLEBOF-, MASSACHUSETTS,
A CORPORATION QF MASSACHUSETTS.
.l 1 CUFF Application led July 2,
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that we, Damm. N. BAKER and JOSEPH PAnisnnU, both citizens of the United States, residing at North Attleboro,
in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cuff Buttons, of which the following is a specification.
Our invention is an improved separable cuff button, or the like, my object being to produce such a device from stampings at a low cost and in a way to permit the use of low cost labor in assembling and making the same and withal to produce a separable button or link that will be easy to connect and also to disconnect and which when connected will be proof against accidental disconnection.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of one of the parts;
Figure 2 is a similar view of the other part;
Figure 3 is a medial sectional elevation of the part of Figure 1;
Figure 4 is a similar view of the part of Figure 2;
Figure 5 is a plan of the inner end of the part of Figure 1;
Figure 6 is a sectional plan view, on an enlarged scale, on line 6-6 of Figure 3, the parts being shown in locking position;
Figure 7 is a similar view to Fig. 6, the parts being shown in unlocked position' Figure 8 is a similar view of a modified form, dispensing with the socket frame.
Our separable cufl:` button or link, is designed to be used by inserting one part of each link in a button hole in one side 0f the 40 cuff and then connecting the two parts of the button to hold the two parts of the cufl` together.
As shown in Figure 1 of the drawings the lock member of the link is made up of a plate, 1, which upon its outer surface may be suitably ornamented. A standard or pin, 2, rises from plate 1 and carries at its end a box, 3, within which are contained the locking members of the device enclosed above by a cover plate, 31, having a central aperture 32. Within the box 3 is placed a socket frame 4, fitting closely within the side wall 33 of the box 3 and having socket recesses 41 to receive corresponding ends 55 of jaws BUTTON.
1923. Serial No. 648,966.
5. Opposite the socket recesses is an opening 42 in the frame corresponding to the aperture 67 in the wall 33. The other ends of jaws 5 are separated but opposed and between the ends a wedge member 6 is disposed, a finger piece 66 of which projects through an aperture 67 in wall 33 to the outside. A pair of springs 7 are disposed between the Wall 33 and the jaw members 5, pressing them constantly inward or towards one another.
The other member of the cu button is made up of a plate, a, which upon its outer surface may be suitably ornamented. A standard or pin, rises from plate, a, and carries a second plate a', and at its free end is formed with a wedging head b beneath which, and adacent to plate a is preferably a neck Z2". It will be observed that the socket frame 4 positions the jaws 5 and springs 7. It will also be observed that the socket frame is secured against rotation by the wedge member 6 passing through the wall 33 of the containing box and through the opening 42 in the socket frame 4.
Operation: the parts being assembled as shown in the drawings, the separated parts of the button are respectively inserted in the button holes of the two ends of the cuff by passing the box 3 from the outside to the inside of the cuff and the plate a similarly through the button hole on the other end of the culf, so that when the two parts are in place the box 3 and the plate a will be opposite each other, on the inside of the cuff and the plate, 1, and the plate, a, each ornamented as desired, will be on the outside of the cu. The pin b is now inserted in aperture 32 and pressed inward, entering the opening 5b, between the opposed faces of jaws 5 and spreading the jaws against the resistance of springs 7 until the head b passes between the jaws which immediately close behind the head, locking the parts together.
To unlock and separate the two parts it is necessary to press upon finger piece 66, thus forcing the wedge 6 between the ends of jaws 5 and spreading them apart to permit the head b to be withdrawn and the two parts of the button to be separated.
In Figure 8 we have shown a modified form of our device in which the socket frame 4 is dispensed with. In place ofthe frame two pivot pins la are employed, secured on the loor of the box, with corresponding pivot holes 5a in the aws 5. The operation of this device is similar to that in which the socket frame l is employed. It is however much more expensive to make and less strong in use.
We claim:
l. The separable button above described, comprising a lock member, made up of a plate; an upstanding standard carrying a box having a bolt opening in its cover; a socket member Fitting the interior ot the box; a pair of spring-pressed locking jaws having extensions to lit movably within the sockets of the socket member; a wedge member actuated through the wall of the box, its inner end adapted when pressed inward to spread the jaws; a cooperating bolt member made up of a plate and an upstanding standard having a wedging head.
2. The separable button above described, comprising a lock member, made up of a plate; an upstanding standard carrying a box having a bolt opening in its cover; a socket member fitting the interior of the box; a pair of spring pressed locking jaws having i/leaso? extensions to t movably within the sockets of the socket member; a wedge member actuated through the wall of the box, its inner end adapted when pressed inward to spread the jaws; a cooperating bolt member made up of a plate and an upstanding standard ,carrying a stop plate and having a wedging head.
3. The separable button above described, comprising a lock member, made up of a plate; an n ,pstanding standard carrying a box having a bolt opening in its cover; a socket member fitting the interior of the box; a pair of locking jaws having extensions to fit movably within the sockets of the socket member; a spring for each of the jaws; a wedge member passing through the Wall of the box and the socket member, its inner end adapted when actuated inward to spread the spring pressed jaws; a cooperating bolt member made up of a plate and an upstanding standard having a wedging head.
