DANIEL G. BUTTS, F COVINGTON, LOUISIANA, ASSIGNOR TO THE FAULTLESS MANU' FACTURING COMPANY, OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, A CORPORATION OF MARY- LAND GARMENT LOOP Application filed August 21, 1930. Serial No. 476,899.
This invention relates to improvements in garment loops and particularly to loops of the type used in hosiery supports although it will I be appreciated that loops of this type are capable of use in many other instances.
The primary object of my invention is to provide a garment loop or stud engaging clasp in which the edges of the material defining the throat leading to the'stud receiving aperture are of a thickness equal to that of the blank of the material constituting the body portion or frame of the loop. In this connection it should be pointed out that in all known instances, the production of garment loops comprises the step of finishing and r portions are comparatively thin and, consequently, the constant use of the loop wears these thin edge portions away comparatively quickly and the resulting widening or enlargement of the throat soon renders the article useless. Specifically, this difficulty is overcome in the present instance bv prodncing the loop in a form wherein the throat leading to the button or button shank receiving recess is not actually formed until the finishing and polishing steps have been performed. That is. the button or button shank recess is formed in the loop while the throat proper is still closed by a strip of material from which the loop is formed. The finish- 49 ing and polishing processes are then carried out and after this has been done the strip across the throat is then removed so thatit is impossible for the edges of the material con.- stituting the throat to be rounded or beveled With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in'certain details of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts, all as will hereinafter be more fully described and the novel features thereof particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is .a front elevation of a blank from which the preferred form of loop is to be produced;
Fig. 2 is a similar view showing t-hefinished loop; a Fig. 8 is a sectional View taken on the line v3-3'of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is an end elevation of theloop with a button therein; V
Fig. 5 is a front elevationv of a blank from which a modified form of loop may be produced;-
Fig. 6 is a similar view of a'loop produced from the blank illustrated in Fig. 5,'and V Fig. 7 is a similar view taken on the line As pointed out, the finished loopfcontem-r plated by the-present invention might be said .to be of, uniform'thickness having its edges bufi'ed and rounded over so as not to cut or tear the cloth of the garment or the hands of the wearer. However, the'edge portions:
of the material defining the throat or entrance in the button; or button shank receiving recess are not reduced to a point where they will he quickly worn away through a constant use of the loop to such an extent 1 that thethroat willbe so enlarged as to not retain a button or button shank in the, loop. 1
The production-of such a loop maybe accomplished from various materials but it is pref- 1 erably formed from a stamped blank. In the form of'loop illustrated in Figs. 1 to l there is first produced a blank having a recess 10 and a cross bar ll for attachment of the loop to the garment. In hose supporters the limb encircling portion of the supporter may be run through the loop 10 or the bar 11 may be secured tothe supporter by a suitable stitching. Likewise, in overalls the shoulder straps may be run through the recess 10. As will be appreciated this portion of the loop.
for attachment to the hose supporter or other garment may take variousforms and constitutes no portion of the present invention.
Spaced from the cross piece'll are the transversely extendingportions 12 and projecting from those portions is what will be termed the body or frame proper. This body or frame consists of the side portions 13 merging into the end portion 14. The shape or contour of this frame may be altered as desired but extending inwardly therefrom are P i et ep 5 eenv s g t wa d n n h to rm th t r t 16 ough wh h the e ton or button shank must enter the recess 17 In producing the present loop the blank is stamped from th m t ri in he te m sh wn n Fig- 1 W er it will :be noted that th Pr jections 15 for defining the throat 16 are connected by a cross strip 18. After the blank has been produced in this form the finishing and polishing operations are then imposed thereon and after this has been accomplished said connecting strip 18 is then removed to produce the completed loop shown in Fig. 2. By carrying 01 1131118 finishing and polishing steps before removing the cross connecting strip 18 from the throat defining portions (if the loop, the edge portions of the 'pro'e ctions 15 defining the throat 16' are notregluced'in thickness as shown in full lines Fig. 3. To more clearly illustrate the present inyention there is shown in dotted lines, at 19, in Fig. 3 (more or less diagrammatically of course) the results of the finishing and polishing operations on the throat defining portions of a loop where the loop is formed by a method which does not pro'vide'means for preventing a reduction inthickness of these throat defining portions. It will be appreciated that where the throat defining portions of the loop are reduced in thickness,'as indicated in the dotted linesat 19, this" more or less rounded or knifeli ke edge of the material will be rather quickly worn away by the constant use of the loop and as a result the throat is widened or enlarged thereby permitting a button or button shank to more readily escape from withinthe receiving recess 17.
In'garment loops or Clasps of this character, the shank of a stud seciired to one member of the garment is passed through a restricted throat andstud shank receiving aperture in the clasp which is secured to another member of the garment. Such restricted throat portions are generally slightly closer to each other than the diameterof the stud shank and the stud'shank is really snap 7 ed through the throat portion into the receiying aperture and may be disengaged only by pressing or snapping it outwardly through the restricted throat.
In thef orm of loop shown'in Figs. 1 to 4 the location of the pro'ections 15 and their disposition with respec'tto the size and end of the frame'is such that the spreading strains placed upon the throat defining portions 15 as the stud is drawn therethrough do not effect permanent widening of the throat. In other words, the sides of'the frame may be flogged either outwardly or inwardly but the poli hing e fi ishing .ener tiens perfor d in the production of the loop. In this embodiment there is the cross member 11 and strip recess 10 with the cross piece 12 merging into the sides 13 of the loop. In this form, as in the form illustrated in Figs. 1 to 4, the throat 16 is slightly less in width than the diameter of the'stud shank so that the sides 18 of the frame are temporarily minutely distorted outwardly as the stud shank is passed through the throat, in a sort of snap p ng engagement into the recess 17. In both illustrated forms of garment clasps, it is this tendency of the stud shank to expand the throat constituting portions of the clasp which results in wear and enlargement of ,the throat, and which wear is materially resisted by the broad, square throat edges of "clasps embodying my invention. As shown in Fig. 5, those portions of the sides 13 that are to'formthe throat 16 in the finished floop are connected by the cross strip 118 in the blank from which the finished loop is to'be produced. fl'lhefinishedloopis illustrated in Fig. .6, showing the throat merging into the button or stud shank receiving recess 17 and, in Fig. 7, there is shown more or less diagrammatically the difierence between the loop formed from the blank wherein the cross strip 18 is notremoved until after the finishing and polishing operations are performed as compared with the loop producedloy a method wherein the recess 17 and throat portion 16 are formed before thefinishing and polishing operations. As will be seen from Fig. 7, the throat defining portions of the material are thesame thickness throu hout the sides 13 of the loop where the present method is pursiied'in the production of the loop but, as indicatedin dotted lines :at 19, these throat defining portions are'be veled or rounded, or otherwise reduced in previous forms of loop produced by a method wherein the cross strip 18 is not present' during the finishing and polishing steps.
