T0 at whom it may cone-clot.
Be it known that I, Fonnns'r G. PURIN- 'ro v, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Waterbury, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have made and invented certain new and useful Improven'ients in Lapel Buttons, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to buttons and particularly to a lapel button.
The object of the invention is to provide a. lapel but-ton made from one piece of metal and so formed and shaped as to readily fit within the buttonhole and when properly contained therein will be held against turning so that the decoration or insignia upon the lapel button will always be maintained in a proper, upright position.
A further object is to form a lapel button whereby the same may be made upon an automatic forming machine and thus economically produced in large quantities.
Further objects and advantages will appear as the description proceeds, it being understood that changes may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit thereof.
The preferred en'ibodiment of my invention is disclosed in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a view in plan of the blank representing the first stage in the formation of my button;
Figure 2 is a view in transverse section illustrating the first stage blank and the squeezing dies in position for forming the shank;
Figure 3 is a similar view after the shank forming dies have been brought together;
Figure 4; is a similar view and illustrating the manner in which the back of the button is flattened out to form the rear face;
Figure 5 is a rear view of the completed button;
Figure 6 is a view in side elevation of the completed button with the thin edge of the shank exposed to view;
Figure 7 is a similar view with the flat, elongated portion of the shank exposed to view; and
Figure 8 is a view of my novel lapel button with a finishing cap over the front face.
Referring specifically to the several views, wherein similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout, my
- e r res are T 'QFF'IQ CONNECTICUT. .ASSIG'NQRTO 'lI-IE PATENT CONNECTICUT, A CORPORATION OF CON- LAPEL BUTT-0N.
1924. Serial No. 718,195.
novel lapel button is made from a single piece of metal, preferablyaluminum or some similar soft metal, {and by theaction of suitable heading dies (not shown) a first-stage blank is formed, which, as illustrated in Figure 1, is composed of a head 10 and hub 11, the latter being provided with an opening 12 extending inwardly from the freeend so as to form a hollow hub.
The iirst sta-ge blank is then placed upon a suitable supporter baseasillustrated by thedotted lines 13, and a pair of oppositely extending dies 14, which are provided with the rounded ends 15, arel'n'ought against the side walls of the hub intermediate its ends and a suitable pressure exerted so as to forcibly squeeze the side walls of the hub together, forming the second stage blank, as illustrated in Figure 2. With the dies 1% still in position, a third die 16 is brought down upon the upper extremity 17 of the hub, the face of the die being curved as illustrated in Figure 4, and by suitable pressure the extremity of the hub is flattened out and enlarged to thereby form the integral button back 18.
The curvature of the face of the die 16 is of such nature as to impart a smooth and finished appearance to the button back 18. The support 13 may in some instances be yielding and the pressure exerted by the die 16 will be taken up by the pair of oppositely extending dies 14, thereby preventing the inscription or insignia upon the face of the button from being mutilated or distorted.
The hub being circular, the flattened back formed from the inner side walls and end of the hub will also tend to circular outline. This, however, is governed by the face of the die 16 and if desired the face of this die may be 'fOID'iEH'l of irregular contour and will impart a corresponding contour to the back of the but-ton. The provision of the hollow hub of the first-stage blank allows the dies 14s to forcibly squeeze the side walls together without undue pressure and by so doing the finished lapel button, as illustrated in Figures 5, 6, 7 and 8, is provided with a shank 19, which is relatively wide, as illustrated in Figure 7, and also relatively thin, as illustrated in Figure 6, so that when the button is properly contained within a buttonhole, the edges of the latter, contacting with the wide portions of the shank, will thus prevent the lapel button from turning.
The base or support 13 may be suitably embossed or so formed as to impress upon the front face of the button a suitable insignia or decoration, or this may, if so desired, be produced at the time of producing the firststage blank, as illustrated in Figure 1.
In Figure 8 I have illustrated my improved lapel button having an ornamental cap 20 placed thereon. This ornamental cap maybe decorated or ornamented prior to its attachment to the button proper or may be applied asa plain shell to the blank, as il 2. A lapel button formed of relatively soft metal comprising an integral shank, back and head, the said shank being relativel Wide and thin in cross section to contact with the side Walls of the button hole to prevent the relative turnin of the button, the said shank being slightly less in its greater dimension than the diameter of the said back and the said shank merging into the back to make the latter imperforate.
3. A button formed from a piece of relatively soft metal comprising a solid imperforate head and a hollow hub, the said hub being flared to form an integral shank and flared imperforate back, the said shank being relatively wide and thin in cross section.
