UNITED STATES 1,518,179 PATENT OFFICE.
EDWARD FOSTER CLARK, OF NORTH ATTLE BORO, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO- W. G. CLARK & 00., INQ, OF NORTH ATTLECBOBIO, MASSACHUSETTS, A CORPORATION OF MASSACHUSETTS.
BUTTON OR STUD.
ToaZZ whom it may concern."
Be it known that I, Enwann F os'rnn (linen, a citizen 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 Buttons 0r Studs, of which the following is a specification.
My invention is an improvedattachable and detachable button or stud, suitable for use on garments requiring frequent cleansing, or, when it is desirable for the button to be changed from one garment to another, permitting the button or stud to be attached for use and detached at will, for any reason.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of my device;
Figure 2 is similar to Figure 1, but with the bolt shifted;
Figure 3 is a similar view in section on an enlarged scale;
Figure 4 is a view of the shank element, before bending;
Figure 5 is a view of the shank element, after bending;
Figure 6 is a sectional elevation of the face of the button;
Figure 7 is a similar view of the back of the button;
Figure 8 is a similar view of the back of the button, and the shank and flange elements, combined.
Figure 9 is a plan of Figure 6; and
Figure 10 is a detail of the flange member.
The device consists essentially of a shank, carrying at one end a button or head movably connectedand carrying at the other end, a cross-bar retainer element, of telescoping character. By telescoping the crossbar, the bar may be passed through an eyelet or button hole and then extended. The movable connection of the shank and button or head, enables the button to conform and adjust itself to the outer surface of the garment with which it may be worn.
In the drawings the shank is marked generally A, one member of the angular shank being marked, a, and the other at. \Vithin member a is slidably fitted a bolt B, carrying at one end a sheath, Z), and at the other a finger piece I), and surrounded by a spiral spring I), one end of which abuts upon the inner end of sheath 6 and the other on the inner end of member, a. It will be obvious that the bolt member may be moved,
in opposition to the spring to the position shown in Figure 2. The button is made up of a face member D and a back member and the face member D may be, and usually is, formed as an annulus and receives and carries an ornamental piece d of mother of pearl or stone or engraved metal, or the like. The back member C is spaced apart somewhat from the face part, as indicated in Figure 3. The plate C has a central perforation c, preferably hexagonal, as shown, the distance between opposite faces of the perforation being slightly greater than the outside diameter of the shank member a.
In assembling the parts the plate C is placed upon the shank member a and a flange a is provided upon the shank mem ber to retain the plate C. This flange may be formed by expanding the free end or edge of the tubular member a but I prefer,
for practical reasons, to apply a separate flange by inserting a mushroom-shaped member, a, shown in detail in Figures 3 and 10. The stem or tang of this member is a tight fit for the interior of member a and the stem may be forced into the bore of member a and the flange a" thus firmly established, without the use of any considerable force, which it is diflicult and expensive to apply to the delicate parts without considerable wastage and also without the use of solder, which is detrimental when the material of the shank is of plated ware. The face plate D is now applied to the plate 0 by swaging the edges 01 of D over the rim of plate C. The result will be a connection between the member a and the head which permits the head to tilt slightly with relation to member a" but which. prevents lateral shift to any appreciable extent, thus combining the capacity to tilt with an incapacity for lateral or rattling motion of the buttons Upon the shank member, the button tilting as freely and firmly in any given direction as if pinned and pivoted for that purpose.
My improved button or stud may be easily inserted in the eyelets or button holes of a shirt front by passing the end 5 through the openings and withdrawing the bolt B by means of the finger piece 6, turning the shank A to pass the part a through the openings and releasing the bolt. The button, while not hanging loose upon the shank member is capable of tilting in any direction to adjust its under surface to the outer surface of the garment.
I claim:
1. In a button or stud, a tubular shank; a hollow button mounted for universal movement upon the end of said shank having a perforation angular in outline in its back member the shank extending through theperforation into the hollow button and having a retaining flange Within the button, substantially as described.
2. In a button or stud a tubular shank; a hollow button mounted for universal movement upon the end of said shank having a perforation in its back member, the shank extending through the perforation into the hollow button; a flange member Within the button having a head and tang, the tang: tightly fitting within the tubular shank to retain the button on the shank, suhstantialtv as described.
3. In a button or stud, a tubular shank; a hollow-button mounted for universal movement upon the end of said shank having a perforation angular in outline in its back member, the shank extending through the perforation into the hollow button; a flange member Within the button having a head and tang, the tang tightly fitting Within the tubular shank to retain the button on the shank, substantially as described.
Signed at North Attleboro, Massachusetts, this 27th day of May, 192i.
