DOMKEE, OF WEST HAVEN, CONNECTICUT, .A SSIGNOR TO THE WIRE NOVELTY V MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF WEST HAVEN, CONNECTICUT, A CORPORATION 01 i BUTTON Loor Application filed February 2e, 1930. Serial No; 431,496.!
This invention relates to improvement in button loops adapted for use on garment straps, the loop being specially adapted t O be suspended at the end of a strap in reach- 5 ness to be clipped over a button the shank of which may be urged therefrom into a smaller retaining loop member from which it cannot be unintentionally withdrawn, and the objects of the invention are to provide a button loop of which one wire end rigidly carries a button-retaining member and the other wire end is movably suspended within the member; and to provide the free extremity of the suspended member with an arcuate formation adapted to retainingly engage a seated button-shank. With these and other objects in view as may become apparent from the within disclosures, the invention consists not only of the particular form herein pointed out and illustrated in the drawing but readily admits of certain modifications within the scope of what hereinafter may be claimed.
The following is the description of an embodiment of the invention the character of which may be best understood by reference to one illustrative device illustrated by the accompanying drawing in which the Figure 1 is an upright elevation of the normal desubstantially similar; the Figure 2 is a group of an upright elevation of the wire structure of the device and a detached button-retaining member in the process of construction; the Figure 3 being an upright elevation of an expanded device; the Figure 4 is an upright elevation of the device in its normal position after the passage of the shank within its seat.
Referring more particularly to the drawing in which similar numbers refer to similar parts, the device comprises a piece of resilient wire of which a middle portion is bent to form the suspension loop 1, the other wire portions providing the spring arms 2 and 3 cooperating to form the buttonreceiving loop 4 having the normally contracted throat portion 5, the wire end portion 6 forming a substantial portion of a loop 7 axially asso- 50 ciated with the loop 4, the other wire end vice of which a reversed elevation would be 7 tions are substantially similar.
The button loop being reversible is adapt- :1
ed to be mounted upon-a strap to prominent- 1y display the front elevation thereof as illustrated or an opposite elevation not illustrated by reason of the fact that both eleva- I claim 1.
