This invention relates to button loops such as' are used on the shoulder straps or suspenclers of overalls, jumpers and similar garments.
Such button loops arecustomarily formed of a length of wire bent to form a strapf engaging member and 'a pair ofcreslent.
arms so shaped as to providea relatively large aperture 'for the vpassage of the ,but ton head and a relatively small aperture to embrace the button hub andpreventrdisengagement of the button from'the button loop, the two apertures being separated by bends forming a constrictedpassage between them of less width than the diameter of the button hub. The ends 'of the arms are so arranged and connected as to permit'their separation by spring' action to an extent sufficient to allow the button hub to pass from the large aperture into the'small aperture. r r
Various means have been devised for appropriately Connecting the free ends' ofthe arms, and it is to means' of this character that the present invention is primarily directed.
r The object of the invention is to provide a button loop of substantially the type referred to, having a Connecting member for the free ends `of the arms of such a character that it will embrace these' ends but will permit of their required 'relative movement or separation. f
, This Connecting member 'not only .pro-
duoes a neat and attractivebutton loop but' one in which the free ends of the arms are so joined as to be enclosed and thus no roughedges, sharp ends' and corners, and other 'undesirable projections are present to catch inand injure the fingers and clothing of the user.
- The invention contenplates a button loop having a pair of resilient arms adapted to embrace a button hub, these arms terminating in bends so formed as to receive lugs carried by a connecting member, preferably of Sheet metal, embracing the terminals ofthe arms and enclosing them, the relative dimensions of the bends and lugs being such as to permit limited separation of the arms for the purpose mentioned, as I' will proceed i now more particularly to explain and finally claim; 1
. In the 'accompanying drawings illustrating the invention, in the several figures ofwhich like parts aresimilarly designated, Figures 1 and 2: are front and backv views, respectively, of a buttonloop made in accordance. With; my invention.
'Connecting memberof modified form. v
3 The button 'loop'is made of a len th' of resilient or spring wire so bent as tol orm a stra'p engaging portion 1 fromi which' extend resilient arms 2 curved to provide -a rela tvely large aperture. 3 to permit assage therethrough of' a buttonihead, and'a rela- V i i 'tively small 'aperture 4 adaptedto' engage the button hub, these apertures being sepa-` so y j rated by a "constricted passage V formed by the bends or elbows 5. 'The arms terminate' in bendsor eyes 6 preferably of elongated form, as shown, into which .extend lugs 7 stanped 'Sout 'of' one leg 8 of the preferably U shaped Connecting member 9. g
These lugs 7 are of less width than the openings 'of the ben-ds or eyes and hence permitthe legs 2 to separateto an extent V limited' by them, as illustrated in broken 'lines in Fig. 3. Moreover, "as shown in Fig. n
5,'the lugs 7 'preferably extend from the' leg 8 of .the Connecting member completely through the eyes6 and abut against the op posite 'leg 10, thus notonly limiting the separation or spreading apart of the arms 24 as the button hub moves from the aperture 3 into the 'aperture 4 past ,the restriction formed by the elbows or bends 5, but holding the connecting member in position upon the ends: orterminals of the arms 2.
