Description

E. D JANES CARPET FASTENER Filed June 4, 1951 Patented Apr. 19, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE EDMUND D. JANES, OF WATEBBURY, CONNEUTICUT, ASSIGNOR TO SCOVILL MANUFAC- TUBING- COMPANY, OF WATERBURY, CONNECTICUT, A CORPORATION OF CONNECT- ICUT CARPET FASTENER Application filed. June 4, 1931.
or floating movement in the plate to auto-' matically align and register with and engage a fixed head or stud, as I will proceed now 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 an outside plan View; Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view; Fig. 3 is an elevation; Fig. 4 is a cross section, and Fig. 5 is a partial elevation and section of an eyelet illustrating one form of the invention. Fig. 6 is an outside plan view; Fig. 7 is a bottom plan View; Fig. 8 is a cross section, and Fig. 9 is a partial elevation and section of an eyelet, illus-- trating another form of the invention.
1 have shown two variations of the invention, as indlcated above, and in both the plate member consists of a base 1 having a central opening 2 of larger dlameter than the body it is useful.
ot' the socket element 3, and this base has the flange 4: provided with the prongs 5 by which the device is attached to the back of a carpet or rug or other article in or upon which The flange 4 may be beveled. in from the rim of the base, with the prongs 5 extending at right angles to its edge, so as to conceal the prongs and afford an extended area for contact with the carpet or rug, thus avoiding a cutting contact with the carpet or rug.
The socket element 3 as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, l and 5 is in the nature of an eyelet,
slitted longitudinally throughout, as at 6,
and having the exposed flange 7 of larger Serial No. 542,180.
diameter than the opening 2, and the barrel 8, the end of the barrel opposite the flange being passed through the oversized central opening 2 of the plate with the flange 7 on one side of the base and then upset upon the other side of the base, as at 9, with sufficient clearance to permit the eyelet to move or shift or float laterally within the opening 2 so as to compensate for any variations in the spacing of the complemental stud or head which forms the other member of the fastener. This stud or head is not shown but may be of the usual or any approved form for use with a resilient socket.
The slit 6 in the eyelet renders it resilient in response to the engagement with and dis engagement from the stud or head, and hence the assembling of the socket element with the plate should preserve this resilience as well as not interfere with the floating or shifting characteristic of the parts.
The other form of resilient socket is shown in Figs. 6 to 9 inclusive, and consists of an eyelet 10 having the through and through slit 11 to render it resilient and a number of slits 12 extending part way through the barrels leading end and forming fingers 13 that may be spread or rolled over the base of the plate. 'The eyelet in Figs. 69 has the flange 14 which rests on the outside of the base.
The'operation of the form shown in Figs. 6-9 is the same as that described with reference to the form shown in Figs. 1-5.
In the form shown in Figs. 15 there may be employed an eyelet having a comparatively short barrel, the leading end of the barrel being rolled over the inside surface of the base adjacent the opening 2, while in the form shown in Figs. 6-9 the eyelet may have a comparatively longer barrel so as to produce the fingers 13 which may be likewise rolled over or otherwise applied'to the inside surface of the base adjacent the opening 2.
In both forms of the invention only two pieces or parts are used, namely, the pronged plate and the resilient eyelet, thus effecting a considerable economy in manufacture, and each of which provides an efficient floating construction adapted to register with the complemental stud or head member of the fasteners.
Variations in the details of construction and arrangement of parts are permissible Within the principle of the invention and the scope of the claims following.
hat I claim is 1. A carpet fastener, having an attaching plate provided with a. base having an oversized opening, a resilient socket element having a flange underlying the base and of greater diameter than the diameter of the said opening and a barrel of less diameter than the diameter of the opening and passed through said opening and having its inner portion upset upon the inner side of the base surrounding the-opening with sufficient clear ance to permit the socket element to move or shift or float laterally within the opening to thereby compensate for any variations in the spacing of a complementalstud or head.
2. A carpet fastener, having an attaching plate provided with a base having an oversized opening and attaching prongs, a resilient socket element having a flange underlying the base and of greater diameter than the diameter of the said opening and a barrel of less diameter than the diameter of the opening and passedthrough said opening and having its inner portion upset upon the inner side of the base surrounding the opening with suflicient clearance to permit the socket element to move or shift or float laterally with-in the opening to thereby compensate for any variations in the spacing of a complemental stud or head.
3. A carpet fastener, having an attaching plate provided with a base having an oversized opening, a resilient socket element consisting of an eyelet longitudinally slitted throughout and having a flange underlying the base and of greater diameter than the diameter of the said opening and a barrel of less diameter than the diameter of the opening and passed through said opening and ha"- ing its inner portion upset upon the inner side of the base surrounding the opening with suflicient clearance to permit the socket element to move or shift or float laterally Within the opening to thereby compensate for any variations in the spacing of a compleinental stud-or head. I
4. A two piece fastener, having an attaching plate provided with an oversized opening, and :an eyelet arranged in said opening and having a flange and a barrel slitted longitudinally throughout, the flange located on one side of the plate and the barrel extending throughsaid openingand a .portionzthereo-ffrol'lcd over upon the other side with sufficient clearance to permit the eyelet to float laterally within the oversized opening.
5. A two piece fastener, having an attaching plate provided with an oversized opening, and an eyelet arranged in said opening and having a flange and a barrel slitted longitudinally throughout, the flange located 011 one side of the plate and the barrel provided with fingers rolled over upon the other side with suflicient clearance to permit the eyelet to float within the oversized openin In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 1st day of June, A. D. 1931.
