BUTTON Filed May 5, 1930 3 .25 I I A Patented Mar. 31, 1931 UNETED STATES PATENT OFFICE FRANK E. WARNER, OF WATERBURY, AND PAUL E. FENTON, OF THOMASTON, CON- NECTICUT, ASSIGNORS T0 SCOVILL MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF VATERBURY, CONNECTICUT, A CORPORATION OF CONNECTICUT BUTTON,
Application filed May 5, 1930. 'Serial No. 449,899.
This invention relates to buttons, particularly buttons of the so-called tack-fastened variety, and to a method of making the same; and embodies improvements over the buttons disclosed by the expired patent of Capewell, No. 619,27 7, dated February 14, 1899, and the patent of Purinton, No. 1,496,017, dated June 3, 1924..
The object of the invention is to provide a one or two-piece, preferably solid metal, tackfastened button of simple, cheap construction; and a method whereby the same may be rapidly, accurately and inexpensively produced by simple manufacturing operations.
The invention contemplates a button having, preferably, a solid head and hub, the hub being recessed and countersunk to form an anvil, a shoulder and a relatively thin offstanding lip, this lip closed in against the shoulder to provide an apertured bottom for the hub and forming, with the anvil, an anvil chamber within the hub, and the shoulder acting to limit the closing in of the lip to a position substantially normal to the hub; the button head being furnished with an ornamental or other finish cap, as desired; all as we will proceed now more particularly to explain and finally claim.
In the accompanying drawings illustrating the invention, in the several figures of which like parts are similarly designated, Figure 1 is a vertical axial sectional view of a button blank having the characteristics of our invention, and Fig. 2 is a bottom plan View thereof. Fig. 3 is a section, similar to Fig. 1, of the finished button, and Fig. 4 is a bottom plan view thereof. Fig. 5 is a sectional elevation of the button set upon or fastened to a piece of material by means of a suitable attaching tack.
The button blank has a head 1 and a hub 2. The hub 2 is recessed to provide ananvil 8, and is countersunk to form a shoulder 4 and a relatively thin ofistanding lip 5.
This blank is preferably made from solid metal stock and is given the form shown and described preferably by simple stamping operations although, if desired, it may be machined.
The relatively thin lip 5 is closed in by spinning or pressing to the form shown in Figs. 3, 4 and 5 thus providing a bottom 6 for the hub having a restricted opening or aperture 7 to receive the shank 8 of the attaching tack, and closing the end of the hub to provide an anvil chamber therein within which the tack is upset, as shown at 9, Fig. 5, against the anvil when the button is attached by pressure to a piece of material or an article, indicated at 10.
The provision of the shoulder 4 has a double function. It weakens or reduces the thickness of the oifstanding lip portion 5 of the hub so that it may easily be closed in to form the bottom 6, and it also forms a stop for limiting the closing in of the lip to a position substantially normal to the hub, thus materially facilitating and cheapening manufacturing operations.
If desired, the head 1 may be provided with an ornamental or other finish cap 11 closed in over its periphery as indicated at 12, and to the end that the under face of the head when thus capped may present a relatively smooth surface, it may be rabbeted, as indicated at 13, to accommodate the closed-in flange 14 of the cap.
Various changes both in the button and in the method of making the same are deemed to be within the spirit'of the invention and the scope of the following claims.
What we claim is 1. A method of making a button, which comprises forming a button blank having a head and hub, said hub provided with an anvil recess, a shoulder and an oifstanding lip, and closing in said lip to provide a bottom for said hub having a restricted opening, said shoulder limiting the closing in of said lip.
2. A method of making a button, which comprises forming a button blank having a head and hub, said hub provided with an anvil recess, a shoulder and an oifstanding lip, and closing in said lip to provide a bottom for said hub having a restricted opening, said shoulder limiting the closing in of said lip to a position substantially normal to said hub.
3. A method of making a button, which comprises forming a button blank having a head and a hub, said hub provided with an anvil recess and countersunk to form a relatively thin ofistanding lip and a shoulder, and closing in said lip to provide a bottom for said hub having a restricted opening, said shoulhf der limiting the closing in of said lip to a position substantially normal to said hub.
4. A method of making a button, which comprises forming a button blank having an integral head and hub, said hub provided with an anvil recess and countersunk to form a relatively thin lip and a shoulder, and closing in said lip to provide a bottom for said hub having a restricted opening and forming with said recess an anvil chamber, said shoulder limiting the closing in of said lip to a position substantially normal to said hub.
5. A button having a solid integral head and hub, said hub recessed to provide an anvil, a shoulder, and a relatively thin lip offstanding from said shoulder, said lip being closed in against said shoulder to provide an apertured bottom for said hub and with said anvil forming an anvil chamber within said hub.
6. A button having a solid integral head and hub, said hub recessed to provide an anvil, a shoulder, and a relatively thin lip ofi'standing from said shoulder, said lip being closed in against said shoulder substantially normal to said hub to provide an apertured bottom for said hub and with said anvil forming an anvil chamber within said hub.
In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands this 2nd day of May, A. D. 1930.
