Definitions

  • This invention relates to 'fasteners for shoe straps and the like, and the principal object of the invention is to provide a twopart fastener which is simple and economical to manufacture, effective and durable ,in use, comfortable to the wearer'and attractive in appearance.
  • the improved fastener comprises essentially a buckle member adapted to be secured upon the free end of a strap or tape and a hook member constructed and' arranged to engage behind the buckle and t0 lie under the buckle when so fastened, so that the two parts may readily be attachedor separated without threading the strap through a buckle or slider and so that the hook member will be substantially concealed from view beneath the buckle member.
  • the twO-partfastener is pleasing in appearance and substantially simulates a single element fastener having a strap threaded throughsitand retained by frictional or interlocking engagement.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a ladys im shoe equipped with one form of the improved fastening
  • Fig. ⁇ 2 is a detail ofthe hook member shown in Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 3 is an enl no buckle member
  • Fig. 4 is a section taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3, illustrating a strap section threaded therethrough;
  • FIG 5 is a similar arged bottom view of the section showing the '1928. Serial No. 276,650.
  • Fig. 6 is a plan v 'of hook member
  • Fig. 7 is a section on the line 7-7 of Fi iew of a modified form 6, showing a strap end threaded throug antcl1 frictionally retained by said member;
  • Figs.. 8 and 9 arev top and bottom views, respectively; of an assembled fastening comprising the hook 'of Fig. 2 and an optional form of buckle. p. 0
  • the fasteninofs herein illustrated are principally adapte'to secure the straps ofa ladies shoe across the instep, but the ⁇ same or similar fastening elements may be employed separably t0 connect straps or tapes for otherv purposes and this invention is not intended to be limited to the precise construction Or the particular use herein de- 7scribed, except as theV invention may be defined in the appended claims.
  • the slipper or pump 10 illustrated in Fi 1 has the usual instep strap 11 on one si e of the upper and al 'stub strap 12 on the opposite side.
  • the strap 11 is providedv With a'buckle member 18 which, for some purposes of the present invention, may be of any desired size or shape and may be perma- -fnently or removably secured upon the strap 85 in any desired manner, as lon as the hook member may be fastened behin and beneath the buckle in the manner hereinafter set forth.
  • the hook member of Fig. 2 has a curvedv hook portion 14 and an attachment 9o portion 15.
  • the stub strap 12 secured to the stub strap 12, and preferably consists of a thin piece of sheet metal suitably stamped out to provide an Open slot 16 behind thehook Hand a closed slot 17 in the attachment portion 15.
  • This 95 type of hook may be attached to the short strap 12 by passing the end of the strap through the slot 16 and fastening the returned end to the strap proper by sewing, as best shown in Fig. 5,- or by other securing 'means vThe particular shape of the hook member is not, however, material to the invention.
  • the hook 18 and open'slot 19 may be substantially rectangular in outline; and the attachment portion 2O may have a pair of closed slots 21 and 2 2 separated by a cross bar 23. In such .case thel strap 12 may be frictionally secured to the hook member by threading it upwardly through slot 21 over the bar 2id and'down- Wardly through slot 22, as indicated 1n Fig. 7.
  • the two straps are detachablv fastened together by slipping the bodyof the strap 11 transversely into the open slot 16 of the hook member, so that the hook 14 lies upon the outer surface of the strap and is preferably engaged behind the'buckle and between the strap and an overhangingv edge of the buckle, as shown in Fig. 5.
  • the edge portions of the buckle member overhang the edges of the strap, vthat is extend beyond the edgesof the strap, to cover the projecting ,portions of the hood.
  • the parts may be thus easily attached or separated by one hand, and it is apparent that the connection may be accom.- plishcd irrespective of the size or shape of -the buckle; for the hook 14 need only bel large enough conveniently toslide over and embrace the strap 11.
  • One unique and meritorious feature of the assembled fastening is tachment to the strap 11.
  • the buckle 13 ⁇ preferably comprises' a face plate which may be'slightly concaved in one plane and which may be ornamented on its outer surface as desired, an integral downwardly andl inwardly inclined loop 24 at one end of the face plate defining a slot 25, ⁇ and an integral flange 26 returned beneath the plate from its opposite end and having an opening 27 defining a bridge or cross bar 28.
  • -A transverse retaining lip 29 preferably projects upwardly toward the bottom'of the face plate along the inner edge of the bridge ⁇ 28, and the free edge of said lip may be serrated if desired.
  • the flange portion 26 of the buckle is so formed as to be resistantly flexible, whereby its free end may be urged toward or away from the face plate by pressing or pulling the bridge 28 with the lingers to var the space betwecn the retaining lip an ⁇ the plate.
  • the end of the strap is threaded through the slot 25 and the opening 27 while the lip 29 is spaced appreciably from the face plate f as shown in Fig. 4; and the strap is then The optional type of buckle shown in Figs. ⁇
  • a two-part fastening constructed in any of the forms above recommended is simple and inexpensive to manufacture; it furnishes a secure attachment, which is readily assembled and separated, for a variety of articles; and it is pleasing vin appearance and lends itself to attractive ornamentation without sacrifice of operative efficiency.
  • a fastening of the class described comprising a buckle member adapted to be attaehed to l a strap, and a yhook member adapted to be attached to another strap, the hook member having a hook portion hooking edgewise over the first strap and having a slot behind the hook portion thereof adapted to receive the second strap, so that the two straps are connected by engaging the hook portion behind and beneath the buckle.
