Nv.- 2i5, 1930 G. KRAsNEY COLLAR BUTTON Filed gy 26, 1930 UNTED-STATES rArE-NIIOFFICE GEORGE xnAsNnY, or CHICAGO, ILLINOIs COLLAR BUTTON Application ledMay 26,

This invention relatesto new and useful improvements in collar buttons and `has for y its primary object to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth,a device of this char- 6 acter embodying a novel construction and ar rangement of parts whereby the accidental loss of the same from the buttonhole in a shirt band will be prevented. Other objects of the invention are to `pro- 10 vide a collar button of the character described f which willfbe'comparativelysimple in construction, strong,durable, eihcient in its use and which may be manufactured'at `low cost. All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages of the invention may bei `come apparent from a study of thefollowing specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein like ycharacters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, and

wherein zc Figure 1 is a view in front elevation of a Collar button constructedin accordance with this invention.

Figure 2 isa view in side elevation thereof.

` Figure 3 isa fragmentary view in vertical section taken substantially on the line 33 of Figure' 1 looking in the direction indicated by the arrows.

p Referring to the drawingsin detail, it

will be seen that the reference numeral 1 `designates a flat plate of any suitablemate- ,rial havinga curved upper end. Ashank 2 is `rigidly mounted on the lower portion of the plate 1 and projects forwardly therefrom and has mounted on its free end a head 3 of suitable configuration.` The plate 1 is further provided in its forward face and above the shank 2, with a recess or socket 4 into which yextends an annular flange 5 for retaining a membrane 6 p in position in said recess in spaced opposed l relation to the bottoinwall of said recess as illustrated to advantage in Figure 3 of the drawings. The membrane 6 has formed .in

brane 6 for rotatably receiving the opposite its upper portion an opening Zion the oppo-g 1930; seria) No. 455,762.

bottom wall of the `recess 4 in a manner to 16d cause flexing of the membrane 6 uponfswinging movement ofthe arm 1() to impart to said arm a snap action to retain the same in its operative position.`

In use, the head 3 and the shank 2 are in- 65 serted in the bottom hole in the underlying end portion of the neck band with the plate V1 projecting Vslightly above said neck band in the manner best illustrated in Figure 2 of the drawings. wardly into engagement with "the outside of the neck band and said band is thus embraced between the yoke and the plate 1. The overy lapping portion of the neck band is then secured on the shank2 and is disposed over the 75 yoke 11 in a manner to conceal the same. It will thus be seen that I have provided a front collar button which will be retained in posil tion inthe neck band regardless of the size same may be worn.

It is believed that the many advantages of a collar button constructed in accordance with this invention will be readily under-` stood, and although thepreferred Vembodiment of the invention is as illustrated and described,`it` is to be understood that changes in the `details of construction may be had which will fall withinthe scope of the'in vention as claimed. 4

What is claimed is A collar button of the character described comprising a substantially flat plate having a` recess in one end portion, a `membrane mounted in the recess in spaced opposed relation tothe bottom wall thereof, a retaining flange extending into the recess forsecuring the membrane therein, a pintle of substan tially oval cross section mounted for rotary movement on the inner side of the membrane 10o of the buttonhole or the extent to which the 80` The yoke 11 is then swung down- 70V Y CTI GEORGE KRASNEY.
