Description

Patented May 27, 1924;.
T A T E S HUGH L. CAMPBELL, OF NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE.
TIP ron LACES.
Application filed July 19, 1922. Serial No. 576,051.
To alt whomv it may concern:
Be it known that I, HUGH L. CAMPBELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Nashville, in the county of Davidson and State of Tennessee, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tips for Laces, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has reference to tips for shoe laces and the like and particularly to a metal tip of improved construction.
An essential object of the invention is to provide a tip which will not pull off, or become loose, means being provided for hooking the tip securely to the lace.
A further object of the invention is to provide a metal tip of the above mentioned character that is simple in construction, strong and durable, and which it is believed may be manufactured at a reasonably low cost.
Various other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a perspective View of a laceend with the improved tip applied thereto.
:Figure 2 is an enlarged view, in longitudinal section, of the lace-end showing the manner in which the tip is secured thereto.
Figure 3 is a vertical cross section along line 33 of Figure 2, and
Figure 4- is a plan view of the blank from which the tip is formed.
Describing the invention in detail 10 disignatcs a blank of metal or other suitable material from which the tip is formed. This blank comprises aflat body portion of rectangular configuration from one end of which projects a narrow tongue 11 in line with the longitudinal axis of the blank. Tongue 11 is inserted thru a slot or opening l2 provided in lace l3 and is bent at point indicated respectively by dotted lines 14 and 15 to provide a hook for securing the tip to the lace as will be clearly understood from the consideration of Figure 2.
The sides'16 and 17 of body portion 10 i are bent up around the tip-end of the lace, as shown in Fi ure 3 to provide a ferrule for the lace w ich strengthens and reenforc'es the same at its end. The ferrule may be pressed round or flat as desired and the adjacent edges of the same over lie the end of tongue 11 which is thereby prevented from working loose. It will thus be seen that the tip is fastened to the lace in such a secure manner that it cannot workloose and pull ofi as is frequently the case with the type of tips now in common use. The provision of a locking tongue or pin enables the ferrule portion of the tip to obtain a firmer grip on the lace which is pinched therebetween. The tip is attachable to the lace by pressing the sides together in the usual manner and hence may be quickly and readily applied to the lace.
From the foregoing it is believed that the advantages and novel features of theinvention can be readily understood and that further detailed description thereof is not required.
That is claimed is: i A shoe lace tip including in combination with a shoe lace provided with a transverse slot adjacent its end, a normally fiat ferrule portion, a substantially blunt tongue integral with said ferrule portion and adapted to be inserted into said slotand bent to lie parallel with the lace, and said ferrule portion being adapted to be bent around the end portion of the laceand said tongue substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
