LOUIS A. LUPIEN, O'F BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO EDWIN B. STIMPSON COM- PANY, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
FASTENING DEVICE.
Application filed January 16, 1924. Serial NO. 686512.
TO all wlLom Z't may cmwem:
Be it known that I, LOUIS A. LUPIEN, a Citizen of the United States, residing at 305 Gates Avenue, Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in F astening Devices, of which the following is a Specification.
The objects of this invention are to provide simple, practical and inexpensive means for quickly adjusting the head bands of caps or other head coverings to different sizes and which will automatically look to retain the parts in adjusted relation.
The attainment of these objects is efected through the combination and use of certain novel features of construction and relation of parts, as will be clear from the following Specification.
The drawing accompanying and forming part of the Specification illustrates the invention embodied in a number of'different forms but it should be understood that the structure may be further modified without departure from the broad spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter defined and claimed.
Figure 1 is a front view of a cap having one form of the inventionembodied theren.
Figures 2 and 3 are enlarged broken sectional views on substantially the plane of line 2-3 of Figure 1, showing the adjusting Clasp in the open and closed relations respectively.
Figure 4: is a front view of the parts as they appear in Figure 3.
Figure 5 is a detached perspective view of the tongue or lever of the clasp.
Figure 6 is a perspective view of a double pointed form of tongue and Figure 7 is a view of the keeper with paired openings' to receive the same.
In the cap form of head covering shown in Figure l, the head band is made with free ends or tabs 20, 21, at the front of the Cap and one of these carries a keeper plate 22 while the other oarries a hook or lever 23 for engagement with seats provided in the keeper plate.
F igures 1 to 5 illustrate the seats in the keeper plate simply as a series of spaced holes 24 along the upper edge of the plate and the lever as having a single inwardly directed tongue 25 for selective engagement therein. The lever is shown as having pivot lugs 26 projecting from the opposite edges of the same substantially at the base of the angularly inturned tongue, engaged in bearings 27 at the ends of the yoke or stirrup 28, which is slidably engaged over the back of the plate. The forwardly projecting bearings 27, by engagement with the edges of the plate prevent twisting of the yoke and cause it to slide smoothly 'between the back of the plate and the face of the tab 20.
When the lever is turned outwardly, as in Figure 2, the angular tongue 25 at the end of the same is swung clear of the plate and the yoke may then be freely shifted along at the back of the plate until in position for the tongue to enter the desired hole. By simply turning the lever down against the plate, as in Figure 3, the tongue will be thrust into its seat and in this position it will be seen that the parts are so interlocked that accidental shifting or separation of the same becomes impossible. The point or tongue of the lever may project through the opening far enough to frictionally engage the back of the yoke and by traveling past the dead center operate after the manner of a holding toggle, as indicated. A slide loop 29 is illustrated for further retaining the lever 'in the holdingposition.
To facilitate adjustments the size numbers may be stamped or otherwise applied to the face of the keeper plate, as at 30, beneath 'or alongside the adjustment openings, where they can always be plainly seen while making the adjustments.
The parts of the Clasp are light and can be made inexpensively of sheet metal. Furthermore, they Can readily be applied'to the tabs simply as by riveting, as indicated at 31.
The lever illustrated in Figure 6 differs from the first form in that it is made with two prongs 2525 instead of only one and Correspondingly the keeper plate, shown in Figure 7, is made with two rows of seats 24, 24% to take the same.
The invention s simple, inexpensive and can be easily applied and readily adjusted at any time. In all the forms of the invention shown when an adjustment is made the parts automatically interlock and cannot accidently become disengaged or out of adjustment.
What I claim iszv 1. fastening device comprising a keeper plate provided With a series of spaced openings, a yoke slidably engaged over the back of said plate and having forwardly extending bearings engageable With the edges of the plate and a lever pivoted to said bearings and having an angularly extending tongue engageable in the keeper openings When the lever is turned down over the keeper plate but adapted to be swung clear of such openings When the lever is turnedoutwardly away from the keeper plate.
2. A astening device comprising a keeper plate having a series of spaced openings and a pivoted lever having a yoke slidably engaging the side edges of the keeper plate and extending across the back of the keeper plate to confine the lever thereto, said lever having an angularly projecting tongue at the base of the same engageable in the openings When the lever is sWung down over the keeper plate but adapted to be svvung clear of such openings When the lever is turned outWardly aWay from the keeper plate.
3. A combination as in claim 2 With a sliding loop for retaining the lever turned down over the keeper plate With the tongue in engagement With the selected opening in the plate.
t. A combination as in claim 1 With the lever having pivot lugs at the base of the same projecting from opposite edges and sWiveled in the forwardly projecting bearings of the slidable yoko.
5. A combination as in claim 2 in which the: openings are provided along one edge of the keeper plate and identifying designations are provided along the opposite edge of the keeper plate substanti ally in line With the openings.
6. A fastening device comprising a keeper plate having a series of spaced openings, a yoke slidably connected to said plate and having forWardly extending bearings, and a lever pivoted to said bearings, said lever having means engageable Within said openings When the lever is turned dovvn but ada-pted to clear the Openings When the lever is moved OutWardly.
7 A fas-tening device comprising a keeper plate having a series of spaced openings a member carried by and adjustab-le on said plate and a second member pivotally supported on the adjustable member and having means for interlocking engagement Within the spaced Openings of the keeper plate When said second member is moved in one direction.
8. A fastening device comprising a keeper plate provided With a. series of spaced openings, a yoke slidably engaged over the back of said plate and having 'orWardly extending bearings, and a lever pivoted to said bearngs and having an angularly extending tongue engageable in the keeper openings When the lever is turned dOWn over the keeper plate but adapted to be swung Clear of such Openin gs When the lever is turned outvvardly away from the keeper plate.
9. A fastehing device comprising a keeper plate having a series of spaced openings, a member adjustably 'carried by said plate, and a second member movab-ly mounted on the adjustable member and having means for interlocking engagement Within the spaced openings of the keeper plate When said second member is moved in one drection and means for retaining the second member in looked position.
In testimony Whereof I aflix my signature.
