other sheet material, and that it may be used with a stud element which may also be secured to leather, fabric, or other sheet material, by means of spurs or other appropriate attaching means.
In designing the above-described fastener, each part has been so positioned as .to best serve its int nded function. The prongs are well separated, thereby providing means whereby the socket may be firmly secured to the article on which it is intended to be used. Portions of the metal lying between the prongs have been made use of in the reinforcement of the marginal portion of the socket. The central portion of the disk is made use of as a sounding element adapted to produce a resonant click or snap as the socket is forced into engaging relation with an inserted stud. The closed top of the sounding element serves as a thumb-piece when applying the socket to the stud and pre vents the soft material to which the socket may be secured from being forced into the studreceiving recess and deadeningthe sound. This is a matter of some considerable importance since customers frequently regard a snap fastener as being inefficient or defective if a Sharp snap or click is not produced when the stud and socket are forced into engagement with each other.
Fig. 5 is a sectional view, similar to Fig. 3, of a modified form of the invention, which differs from the form thus far described only in that the stud-engaging fingers 26 are bent inwardly as at 29' instead of being bent outwardiy. Other features of this modification correspond with those of the preferred form and need not be specifically referred to.
The invention is not intended to be limited to the forms herein disclosed for purposes of illustration but should be regarded as covering modifications and variations thereof witlr in the scope of the appended claims.
What is claimed is:
1. A snap fastener socket member made from a single piece of metal comprising a cupped, central, stud-receiving portion, adapted to serve as a sounding element, an annular rim surrounding said cuppedportion, and spaced resilient stud-engaging fingers cut partly from said rim and partly from the outer part of the cupped portion and bent to forms adapted to yieldingly hold an inserted stud, the free ends of said fingers being cut from the rim and their fast ends being positioned well within said cupped portion.
2. A snap fastener socket member, as defined by claim 1, having the free ends of its stud-engaging fingers bent slightly into the stud-receiving ortion and thence outward ly, and upward y so as to terminate at points without the stud-receiving portion.
3. A snap fastener socket member made from a single piece of metal comprising a cupped, central, stud-receiving portion,
adapted to serve as a sounding element, a surrounding channeled portion, and resilient stud-engaging fingers having their free ends cut from the material forming the base of the channeled portion and their fixed ends from the material forming the outer part of the stud-receiving portion, said fingers being bent to forms adapted to yieldingly hold an inserted stud.
4. A snap fastener socket member, as defined by claim 3, having attaching prongs e. tending in spaced relation from the outer wall of the channeled portion.
5. A snap fastener socket member, as defined by claim 3, having reinforcing fingers bent inwardly and downwardly from the outer Wall of. the channeled portion, to the base of the channel.
6. A snap fastener socket member, as defined by claim 3, having the free ends of its stud-engaging fingers bent slightly into the stud-receiving portion and thence outwardly, and upwardly, so as to form a hook-like element terminating at points within said channeled portion, and having reinforcing fingers bent inwardly and downwardly from the outer wall of the channeled portion with their free ends extended into the hook-like portions of the stud-engaging fingers.
7. A snap fastener socket member, as defined by claim 3, having marginal attaching prongs extending in spaced relation from the outer wall of the channeled portion and reinforcing fingers alternating with said prongs and bent inwardly and downwardly from the outer wall of said channeled portion to the base of the channel, the prongengaging fingers being bent slightly into the stud-receiving portion, and thence outwardly and upwardly so as to terminate in hook-like elements each so positioned as to receive an end of one of the reinforcing fingers and lgave its range of free movement limited there- In witness whereof, I have hereunto signed my name.
