PATENT OFFICE.
MARTIN GEORGE STAPLES, OF ORPINGTON, ENGLAND.
BUTTON.
Application filed September 3, 1927, Serial No. 217,461, and in Germany March 16, 1927.
This invention relates to buttons for coats, Waistcoats and similar garments, and more particularly to buttons sewn on to the garments by machine.
When buttons are sewn on to garments by hand it is usual to provide a neck for the button by winding the ends of the thread around the threads attaching the button to the garment, so as to enable the button to be passed into a buttonhole without straining the threads or the cloth. It is not possible to provide such a neck, and to allow the material near the but-ton hole to lie flat and uncreased around the but-ton, with buttons sewn on by machine and therefore, when in use, a great strain is thrown on to the thread and the garment, the material is wrinkled or creased near the buttonhole, and the button quickly becomes detached from the garment.
no Buttons have previously been proposed having shanks, but the thread holes formed therein have been passed right through the button and the shank, or the shank has been provided with two heads, one head having 215 thread holes by which the button is sewn on to the garment, and being placed next to the surface of the material of the garment.
According to my invention I provide the I buttons with a central, rearwardly extending,
small solid neck or shank, the holes for the threads being in the button and spaced around and close to the said neck or shank, the button being sewn to the garment with its neck or shank next to the surface of the material.
My invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is an elevation of a button made in accordance with my invention; and
Fig. 2 is an underside view of the button.
In these drawings 1 is the button having a central rearwardly extending small solid neck or shank 2 and thread holes 3 arranged close to and spaced around the neck or shank. When sewing the button to the material the neck or shank is placed next to the material and the thread is then passed by the machine through the thread holes 3 outside of and adjacent to the neck or shank.
As will readily be understood in machinesewn buttons this neck or shank will take the place of the neck provided by the tailor in hand-sewn buttons and will enable the garment to be buttoned up without throwing too great a strain on the thread or on the stuff of the garment causing the button to be torn off and without creasing or wrinkling the material when buttoned. Also great economy of time and expense is effected by the use of buttons made in accordance with no this invention, as they can be sewn on to the garment by machinery and satisfactorily buttoned.
I claim l a y A button comprising a head having a ceno5 tra l rearwardly extending solid neck, considerably less in diameter than the head, and a plurality of thread-holes formed in the said head, said thread holes being located in the head beyond the plane of the outer wall of the solid neck.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 26th day of August, 1927.
MARTIN GEORGE STAPLES.
