Description

F. R. WHITE sept. 29, 1931.
BUTToN Filed Dec. 5l, 1930 Patented Sept. 29, 1931 UNITEDg STATESA FRANKLIN R. WHITE, or WATERBURY, CONNECTICUT, AssIGNon VTo THE PATENT BUTTON COMPANY, OF WATERBURY, CONNEC'TIGUT,V A CORPORATION' OF CON-A NECTICUT i BUTTON Application f led December 31, 1930. 4Serial No`5`05,893..
My invention relates to new and useful im-V provements in buttons, and more particularly to a solid head button which may be formed preferably from a slug of soft steel or other metal cut from rod stock and then pressed into shape by the action of one or more set of dies, and the same is a companion to an kapplication filed herewith of even date and may be driven into the disk to thereby attach Q the button to the cloth.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a two-piece button, which is known as the imperforate type, that is, wherein the tack or staple fastener is driven bodily through the metal disk situated in the hub of the button, the center recess of the hub acting as an anvil to deform the tack or staple, sok
that the button when attached willl be held rigidly to the cloth. Y
As is well known, these forms of buttons are secured in place by attaching machines, that is, the button heads are fed from one hopper while the tacks or staples are fed from an` other hopper and the action so synchronized that the tack or staple will be driven up through the cloth and into the button head'to thus secure the button in place. n
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain new and novel arrangements and combinations-ofparts as. will be hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claims.
Referring now to the drawings showing one preferred form and one modification;
Fig. lis a sectional view of the button head i and, ofcourse, on an enlarged scale;
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same partly in section and showing the disky memberj crimped within the hub g K Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view` of the same;
Fig. 4 is a view'similar to Fig. 2, the button, however, being inverted and a tack fas' tener driven up into the hub of thev button to hold the button 'ini place ;l
` Fig. '5 is a view similar toFig. l, the button headl being similar tofFig; l, but with a larg' lercentral chamber;
; Fig; 6 isa viewsimilar to Fig. 2, showingv an imperforate disk vforreceiving a staple in` stead'of altack;
Fig; (is a .view'similarlto Fig. 3
Fig.y 8 Vis a view similar toFig. 4, butshowi ing the staple in place rather than the tack: Referring now more particularly to the sev,-
eral views, there isshown' in Fig; 1 a button head comprising what term the top portion l and the hub I`2 in which there is a small central chamberwith arrecessl at one end thereof to form Van inner'shoulder 5 which,. of
eours'e,',extends .completely around the linner. .i
wall of the hub. A
Aspreviously mentioned, this button head may be formed from rod'stockVV and prefere ably of relatively soft non-tarnishable steel,
the rod stockbeing first cut into slugsA of suf-y ficient length.l It/'maytakefone-or moreoper-v ations `in a press with suitably formed; dies but an automatic press (not shown) may lhave successive dies forl forming fthe button nhead into theshape'shown.
New placed with-inthe recess ZPand resting on the'shouldergmay be seen asmall hard metalzdisk 6j which isf preferably, de'- pressed centrally, as at 7, TheI outer edge ofthelhub ofthe button 8 is then crimped =or` pressed over the adjacent vperipheral edge of' the-disk t thus tightly securethe disk in place. The buttonhead iSIl'QW complete and,` as A,may be seen', is exceedingly simple, it comprising merely a; solid button head with itsjntegral-`hub aiid'chamber andits i little'I disk crimped intofplace.
To` vseciire the button to aclo h`9, as shown inFig.y 4,' a tackV 10 'will yhave ,itsY prong Ai115 driven through the cloth and?j through the small disk 6 vat its center-"TQl The prongy or bill imping'ing against the" upper wall of thea Vchamber' Savilll deflectand "deform the prong, so that it will iamdown against the inner` Vsurface 'of the, disk,A as may-be readily seen.
Thus, the: button will be tightly securedY edl in place and in ordinary usage it Will be impossible to pull the tack from the button.
Very often, it is desired to use a staple button rather than a tack button (as they 5 are termed in the art) and in this instance a button head l2 similar to the button head shown in Fig. 1 is used With the exception that the central chamber Y13 is somewhat larger in diameter. In a recess 14 is placed aV disk 15 but instead of having the disk depressed centrally it will be noticed that in this instance it is slightly domed, as at 16, and a small depressed annulus or ring 17 formed about the dome. The lower edge ofthe button 18 is then crimped over this disk in the same manner as `the preferred form, shown in f Fig. 2.
To secure this button to the cloth, a staple 19 is driven through the disk 15 and the an- 20 nulus or ring 17 Willrtend to center the prongs 20 of the staple, so that they will, when driven into the hub, strike the Wall of the Y chamber 13 and be deformed and deflected .v to thus tightly crimp the button in place. Y 2,5 From therforegoing, it Will be seen that I have produced a button that is relatively cheapto manufacture, itcomprising but the two parts. In the one instance, the central disk is depressed to center a tack fastener and in the other instance there is a dome disk to center the prongs of the staple fastener. It Will also be understood that I have shown the outerl surface of the button as plain butv any desired insignia might be 35, pressed in the same if called for by the trade. Y Y
Many slight changes may be made Without y in any Way departing lfrom the spirit and scope of the invention. i 4Q Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters YPatent is: Y
l 1, A solid head button having an. integral hub and a central chamber formed therein, a recess formed inthe hub about said chamber to thereby form a shoulder, an irnperfo-l rate diskiitting withinthe recess, the edge of the hub forced over said disk to hold the same tightly in place, and said disk providy ed With slantingwalls centrally located andA adapted to properly position a fastener to be driven through said disk. Y
2. A solid head lbutton comprising an integral head and hub, said hub provided with a central chamber, a recess adjacent said chamber to form a shoulder, an imperforate disk havingak dome center and a resultant ring about said dome, the'said ring adapted toposition the prongs of a staple and the 30 Walls of the chamber adapted to deflect lthe said prongs to hold the button head 'in posi- Y tliondwhen the staple is driven'in the button vea, y Invtestimony whereof I'aftix my signature.
