L. M. DOWD EYELET BUTTON Filed Sept. 18, 1925 A TTORIVE Y Patented Jan. 19, 1926 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
LEWIS M. DOWD, OF WATERBURY, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR T0 SCOVILL MANUFAC- TURING COMPANY, OF WATERBURY,
NEOTICUT.
EYELET Application filed September To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Lnwrs M. Down, a citizen of the United States, residing at \Vaterbury, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Eyelet Buttons, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of this invention is to provide what, in its generic or broader aspect, {may be called a headed eyelet, and in its specific or narrower aspect an eyelet button.
Eyelet buttons, so-called, are used on waterproof garments of oiled fabric, and in such use it is advisable, if not necessary, that the eyelet should be closed at its ex posed end, and this, in the present lnvention, is accomplished by enclosing. one end, namely, the flanged end, in a button or cover, such closing means serving also to effect the union of the two parts.
As illustrative of the invention I have herein shown it as comprising an ordinary stepped eyelet, having a flange at one end and its other end made for attachment to an article, the flanged end being closed in by means of a head or cover or button, as I will proceed now to explain and finally claim.
In the accompanying drawings illustrating the invention, in the several figures of which like parts are similarly designated, Figure 1 shows in cross-section the two parts of the article separated; Fig. 2 shows these two parts with the eyelet entered in the cover, head or button, and Fig. 3 shows the two parts assembled and ready for use.
The eyelet may be of any usual or approved form, comprising the flange 1, the
upper portion 2, and the lower portion 3. The eyelet is open at both ends when viewed alone. The flange 1 is the element by which the eyelet is connected with its cover, head or button; the part 2 forms the shank to engage the buttonhole, and the part 3 is upset in order to fasten the device on an article. r
Illustrating the cover, head or button as a buttonhead, this comprises the flared body portion 4:, preferably with a rolled-back CONNECTICUT, A CORPORATION OF CON- BUTTON.

rim 5, and an integral raised center-piece or socket 6. As shown in Fig. 2, the flanged end 01' the eyelet is inserted in this centerpiece or socket 6 and then by suitable tools this center-piece or socket is collapsed, as indicated in Fig. 3, so as to underlie the flange by means of the fold 7, and to overlie the flange and enclose the eyelet by means oi the top portion 8.
The device as shown in Fig. 3 is then ready for attachment to a garment or other article by any means suitable for setting eyelets.
I The construction described affords a simple, secure, convenient and practicable way of uniting an eyelet to a cover, head or button, enclosing the flanged end of the eyelet to exclude moisture, and giving a symmetrical finish.
Variations in the details of construction are permissible Within the principle of the invention and the scope of the claims following; and it will be understood that in the claims the words eyelet button are not used to exclude articles other than buttons in a literal sense, and the word cover is used to include any useful ornamental cover or head or button.
What I claim is 1. An eyelet button, comprising a flanged eyelet, having a shank to engage with a buttonhole and an end to be upset to at tach the button to an article, and a buttonhead provided with a closed central portion underlying and overlying the flanged end of the eyelet to connect the eyelet and buttonhead.
2. A two-part eyelet button, comprising an eyelet having a flanged end, a shank and an attaching portion, and a buttonhead having a central socket closed about and covering in the flanged end of the eyelet and uniting the two parts firmly, the shank serving to engage a buttonhole and the attaching portion serving as the means.for setting the button on a garment.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 16th day of. September A. D.
LEWIS M. DOWD.
