WATERPROOF ORNAMENT.

Application filed July 1, 1922. Serial No. 572,338.

T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, l/VILIJAM GLUOKIN, a citizen of the United States, and residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in 'Wa-terproof Ornaments, of which the following is a specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to ornaments designed particularly for use in connection with bathing wearing apparel such as bathing suits, caps, garters and the like and particularly a device of this class made up in ornamental form to represent flowers, emblems, animals and the like, and the object of the invention is to provide a device of the class and for the purpose specified, which is composed of rubber, or rubberized material, or a composition rubber, whereby the device will be rendered water-proof; a further object being to provide a device of the class specified, composed of one or more parts provided at a predetermined point with an eyelet or similar device, through which a. suitable attaching device or devices may be passed in securing the ornamental device in connection with a suitable .sup-

port; and with these and other objects in view the invention consists in a device of the class and for the purpose specified, which is simple in construction, efficient in use and which is constructed as hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of. which the accompanying drawing forms a part, in which the 1 separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in which Fig. 1 is a side view of a bathing cap, showing one of my improved devices mounted in connection therewith; I

Fig. 2 is a partial section on the line 22 of Fig. 1 and on an enlarged scale;

Fig. 3 is a diagrammatic view showing the separate parts of the devices shown in Figs. 1 and 2, prior totheir connection in forming a. unitary device;

Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 2 but omitting part of the construction; and

Fig. 5 is a modified form of my improved device mounted in connection with a suitable support.

or the purpose of illustrating one use of my improvement, I have shown in Figs. 1 to 4:.iI1ClUSiV6, one of my improved ornamental devices in the form of a flower 10, and in making up the device, I stamped from two sheets of rubber, rubberized fabric or composition rubber, the

separate parts

10, 10 and 10 of the flower. These parts are formed by suitable dies and are ofthe general form shown in Fig. 1 of the drawing and in the operation of cutting the separate parts 10*, 10 and 10 the separate sheets of rubber are automatically secured together at the 10 in Fig. termined amount of air is retained between theseparate sheets of said parts. The securing or Joining of the edges of the parts broadly speaking is old in periphery as indicated at 10 10 and 10 this art.

After the separate parts 10*, 10 and 10 have been formed and a ribbon-like strip 11 of the same material has been cut and folded in the mannershown in Fig. 1 of tl e drawing, said parts and said strip are joined by an eyelet 12 which is passed centrally through said parts and the folded end portion of the strip 11 and is flared orriveted to secure all of said parts together to form a unitary structure thereof as shown in Fig. 4 of the drawing. The eyelet 12 forms a center aperture 13 in the flower through which one member 14 of a suitable attaching device is adapted to pass into a button shaped member 15 which forms the other, part of said attaching device and the outer face of the button member 15 is provided with a covering 16, preferably composed of the same material as that employed in the flower 10, and this member forms the heart of the flower.

The part 14 of the attaching device is provided with a threaded pin member 17 and in the use of my improvement this pin member is piercedthrough the garment or 3 of the drawing and a. prede wearing apparel in connection with which the device is to be mounted, after which the device or flower 10 is mounted upon said pin by passing the same through the aperture 13, formed by the eyelet 12 and the button shaped member 15 is then forced into position and is held in such position by the threads on the pin 17. hen it is desired to remove the flower or other device 10, the button-shaped member 15 is threaded outwardly upon the pin 17.

In the above operation of securing the

separate parts

10, 10 and 10 together by the eyelet 12, the air in said parts will operate to expand the projecting portions thereof to give an inflated appearance, in other words, a cross-section through the petals, leaves or the like of the flower will be approximately elliptical in form in crosssection as illustrated in Figs. 2 and 1 of the drawing.

It will also be understood that by using an attaching device of the class described, a very small portion or: area of the garment or wearing apparel is pierced or defaced in applying the flower or other device thereto, and this will also prevent the tearing'of the garment, especially if the same is composed of rubber or rubberized material. It will also be apparent that the material around the pin 17 will be compressed and reinforced by the attaching device.

In Fig. 5 of the drawing I have shown for the purpose of illustrating other methods of carrying my invention into effect or producing the devices in other forms, the repre sentation of a fish 18, which is made in the same manner as either one of the parts 10 10 and 10 of the flower 10 and the part 15, an attaching device similar to that shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 of the drawing is passed through an eyelet and will form the eye of the fish.

It will also be understood that any kind or class of animals, object, shield and the like may be made up in this manner and while I have shown certain details of construction for carrying my invention into effeet and a specific form of attaching device as well as a specific method of making the separate parts of my improved ornamental device, that I am not necessarily limited in these respects and various changes in and modifications of the construction herein shown and described may be made within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of my invention or sacrificing its advantages.

It will also be apparent that my improved ornamental device or devices may be made up in fabrics of different or of variated colors to reproduce various kinds or species of plants, animals and the like or may be made to represent predetermined symbols or other objects and it will also be understood that the member 15 of the attaching device or the facing sheet 16 thereof will form a part of the device with the construction shown.

Having fully described my what I claim as new and desire to Letters Patent, is
