" CLAS P Filed Dec. 21, 1931 INVENTOR. 09a 0/ (a/Z1904 ATTORNEYS.
Patented June 7, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE OSCAR CARLSON, OF EAST PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, ASSIGNOR TO DOLAN & BUL LOCK, 0F, PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, A FIRM: COMPOSED OF ARTHUR F DOLAN, FRED A. BULLOCK, BOTH OF ATTL-EBORO, MASSACHUSETTS, AND 'VVILLIAM Gr. TBEN- N ETT, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND CLASP Application flled December 21, 1931. serial No. 582,408;
This invention relates to a clasp of the type particularly adapted for securing a tie to the shirt of the wearer and commonly called a tie clip, and one of the objects of this invention is to provide a means for securing together the ends of two parts of one of the jaws of the clasp without the use of solder.
Another object of this invention is the provision of means for maintaining the ends of the wire which form one of the'jaws of the clasp in fixed relation without the use of solder.
A further object of this invention is the provision of a cap or sleeve member which may receive the ends of a wire and be securely clamped thereabout to form a finished tip for these ends and at the same time secure them in desired relation.
A still further object of this invention is the provision of a tie clip so folded from wire that the cap member for securing the ends together is spaced from the point ofapplication of pressure to the fabric as it is moved in and'out between the jaws of the clasp. With these and-other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, as will be more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawing: Fig. 1 is a-top plan View of the clasp. Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view thereof. Fig. 3 is a side elevation thereof. Fig. 4 is a plan view of one of the steps in v the operation of forming the clasp,
Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 4 after the step of placing the cap on the ends of the wires has been performed.
Fig. 6 is a perspective View of the cap.
Fig. 7 is a sectional view on line 7-7 of Fig. 5.
Fig. 8 is a plan View of a fragmental portion of a clip with a modified form of clamp member on the ends thereof.
Fig. 9 is a sectional view on line 9+9 of Fig. 8.
In the formation of tie clips it is desirable to provide a clasp at a minimum expense consistent with good appearance and maximum usefulness and durability. In a wire clip, in order that the ends ofthe wire may provide a finished appearance and also'not abrade the fabric or person of the user, the ends are often soldered together. Soldering, however, is an expensive operation, andin order to provide a securing means for the ends and at thesam'e time finish the ends and provide an attractive appearance I have formed a member which may embrace the end portions of the wire and by suitable deflection be held in close frictional contact therewith, thus holding the ends together in desired position without the use of solder; and the following is a detailed description of the present embodiment of this invention illustrating the preferred means by which.
these advantageous results'maybe accomplished. i j
- With reference to the drawing, there is illustrated in Fig. 4a length'of wire which is folded at 510 to provide arms 11 and 12 which are suitably outwardly deflected as at 13 and 14 with their ends turned inwardly as at 15 and 16. These ends are then secured together as illustrated in Fig- 5 by placing a cup shaped cap 17 over the ends as illustrated in Fig. 5, and deflecting the cap 17 g V inwardly as at '18 to closely fit about the curved wire end portions 15 and 16 of the wire, and I also compress the cap as 9119 deflecting the-stock thereof and also the stock of the wireas at 20 inwardly sothat the cap illustrated at 15; and 16, 1" Slightly curve theend portionsas in 23 and 24 in Fig. 8 and provide a different shaped cap 25 to receive the ends'23 and 24 and be secured thereto by deflecting the stock of the cap and also the stock of the end portions 23 and 24 inwardly member 17 is securely held in position on the as above set forth andasillustrated at to securely hold this'cap in position.
After securing the ends by means of this cap member the clasp is completed'by folding the same'upon itself-as at27' to provide jaws 28 and 29, the jaw 29 having a portion 30 in contactwith the jaw 28 at a single point, While the end portion of this member 81 is bent upwardly from this point of contact to provide a: mouth 32' for the, reception of the fabric. The bent upward portion 31 carries the securingcap member 17 and removes it from a position whichmay contact with the fabric, but as itsclosedend 33 in the showing of Figs. 1 to 7 inclusive is' innermost of the clasp, a smooth surface is provided in case the same should contact with the fabric, while its edge 34 is outermost and in invention being defined and limited only by end portions.
the terms of the appended claims.
I claim I r i 1.. A clasp comprising a pair of jaws, one of said jaws having a. plurality of portions with their ends in adjacency, and a cup member receiving the end portions and holding them in fixed relation, said cup member being flattened and deflected inwardly to close 1y embrace and frictionally contact with said f2. A clasp comprising a pair of jaws, one of said jaws having a plurality of portions with their ends in adjacency, and amember receiving the'end portions and holding them in fixed relation, said end portions being recessed and said member havingportions extending intosaid recesses to hold the mem- V ber in assembled position. r
3. A clasp comprising a pair of jaws, one of sald jawshaving a plurality of portions wi ththeir ends in adj acency,and a cup member receiving the end portions and holding them in fixed relation, said cup member being deflected inwardly to closely embrace and frictionally contact with said end portions, said end portions being recessed and said member having portions extending into said recesses to hold the member in assembled position. V j 7 4. A clasp comprising a pair of jaws, one
7 of saidjaws having a plurality of separate portions with their end portions turned in and contacting'w'ith each other and amember receiving said turned-in end portions and holding them in contact with each other.
. A clasp comprising a'pair of jaws, one
of said jaws'having a plurality of separate portions with their end portions turned in and contacting with each other and a cup member receiving said turned-in portions and holding them in contact with each other, said cup imember being deflected inwardly to closely embrace and frictionally contact with said end portions.
6. A clasp comprising a pair of jaws, one of said jaws having a plurality of separate portions with their end portions turned in and contacting with each other and a cup member receiving said turned-in end portions and holding them in contact with each other,
I said cup member being deflected inwardly to closely embrace and frictionally contact with said end portions, said end portions being recessed and said'member having portions extending into said recesses to hold the member .in assembled position.
and at the same time space the'edge of said securing member from contact with the fabric inserted between said jaws. ii
8. A clasp comprising a' length of wire folded upon itself with its two end portions folded inward andin adjacency and again folded to provide contacting jaws, and a cup member having a closed end receiving and embracing theend portions of said wire and holding them in fixed relation, said cup member having itsclosed end inwardly and its other end outwardly with respect to said-clasp and said cup member being inclined with reference to the opposite jaw and with its closed end nearer thereto.
