CLASPS.
Patentec 1Dec.21,1875.
WITNESSES ATTORN BY 5 N PETERS, PHOTO-LITHDGRAPHER UNITED STATES JOSHUA PERKINS, OF DANIELSONVILLE, CONNECTICUT.
IMPROVEMENT IN CLASPS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 171,314, dated December 21, 1875; application filed January 30, 1875.
.To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSHUA PERKINs, of Danielsonville, in the county of Wind ham and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Dress-Plates; and
I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a those devices which are designed to do away with the necessity of attaching the end of the chain by means of a hook or bar to the button-holes of a vest in male attire, and the use of a pin or brooch in ladies attire, whereby the button-hole is frequently worn out and the front of a ladys dress injured. To this end the nature of the invention consists in a metallic plate, having an eye in front and another in rear, the former adapted. to hold a pendent ring, receiving the hook or cross-bar on the end of a chain, and the latter a split ring'for preventing the escape of the split.
ring eye through an eyelet made into the garment for the purpose of receiving the said eye, the wear of the said ring'against the under surface of the garment being prevented by a suitable washer, as will be hereinafter more fully explained.
In the annexed drawings, A designates a plate of metal of suitable dimensions, and of any desired degree of ornamentation, having an eye, a, projecting outwardly from its outer surface, and holding a ring, B, pendent therefrom, as shown in Fig. 1. The rear surface of this plate is also provided with an eye, I), which may be made of the same piece of wire as eye a,'or may be separately formed, each being independently soldered or otherwise suitably secured in their respective places.
In the event of using a single piece of Wire in the construction of eyes a b, the former will be first made, the remaining part of the wire being then passed into and through a central perforation in plate A, and its projecting end bent over and inward to form loop or eye b, thewhole being soldered or not, as-
may'be desired, to the plate A. Loop 1) is passed through a perforation in a garment, having, preferably, a metallic or other eyelet, and a split ring, E, in the nature of the usual well-known key-ring, is atttached thereto, as shown in Fig. 2, thereby effectually preventing its escape from the said perforation.
' In practice I propose to use a metallic plate, C, in the nature of a washer, for the purpose of preventing undue wear of the inner surface of the garment by the friction of eye b, the said washer having the effect, also, of rendering the detachment of the plate from the garment more difficult, and the consequent abstraction of a watch from the person almost impossible. This plate, while especially well adapted for the purpose attaching a watch or locket to the person, may also be advantageously used as an attachment for scissors, eyeglasses, and the like, wherein a ribbon, tape, or chain is commonly used, thus constituting an article of every-day use, whereby the wearing away of button-holes and the front of ladies dresses is eifectually obviated.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The metallic plate A, having the eyes a b in front and rear, in combination with the ring B, washer C, and the split ring E, sub stantially as described, and for the purposes set forth. 7
In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two Witnesses.
JOSHUA PERKINS.

W. A. SHUMWAY, JAMES H. POTTER.
