COLLAR CLASP 7 Filed April 16, 1935 Zoaz'fs Madzsom INVENTOR ATTORNEY Patented Feb. 18, 1936 UNHTED STATES 2 Claims.
This invention relates to devices known as collar clasps, the function of which is to hold the opposed edges of dress collars in a neat and orderly manner.
Collar clasps heretofore used have the objectionable quality of becoming easily disarranged by a slight movement of the collar in that an insecure friction grip of the clasp onto the collar portion is employed. Obviously, increasing the pressure between the gripping members would obviate this condition but would make it extremely difficult to place or arrange the clasp on the collar.
In view of the above, it is the object of my invention to provide a collar clasp comprising a novel means for gripping the collar which, when placed on the collar, will effect a more positive grip, thus obviating the chances of the clasp becoming disarranged. The novel gripping means when suitably adjusted will permit of the convenient removal of the clasp from the collar without causing the slightest damage to the lat- -ter.
A further object of my invention is to provide a collar clasp which, in addition to being highly effective for the purposes intended, embodies an article of jewelry of attractive ornamental character.
The invention will be fully and comprehensively understood from a consideration of the following detailed description when read in connection with the accompanying drawin which forms part of the application, with the understanding, however, that the improvement is capable of extended application and is not confined to the exact showing of the drawing nor to the precise construction described and, therefore, such changes.
and modifications may be made therein as do not affect the spirit of the invention nor exceed the scope thereof as expressed in the appended claims.
In the drawing:
Fig. l is an elevational view illustrating use of my device on a shirt collar.
Fig. 2 is a front elevational view at an enlarged scale of my improved collar clasp; and
Fig. 3 is a top elevational View of the device as shown in Fig. 2.
Referring now to the drawing for a more detailed description thereof, the numeral 4 indicates the front member of my collar clasp which is preferably arcuate in shape and symmetrical about its center, at which portion a rear clasp member 5 is secured. The member 5 is held in place by bending over the opposed lugs 6 which are formed integrally on the front member 4 to extend rearwardly from same. The projecting portions of the rear member 5 are in registry with corresponding portions of the front bar 4 and are bent so as to recede from same at their portions adjacent the middle. The respective free ends I of the the member 5 in plan are bent into close proximity with the rear face of the member 4, the space existing between the members 4 and 5 at this point being ample to conveniently insert the opposed edges of a collar.
The free ends of the member 4 are enlarged to provide sufficient material for the forming of threaded holes 8 into which correspondingly threaded screws 9 are inserted. The angular disposition of the threaded holes 8 is to be such that the thread portions of the screws 9 are in approximate tangency with the adjacent arcuate portions of the ends I when the screws 9 are fully turned in. The length of the threaded portion of the screws 9 is to be such as to provide an ample exposed surface in contact with a collar as to securely grip the surfaces of same.
When it is desired to place my improved collar clasp on a collar the screws 9 are turned out so that none of the threaded portion thereof is projecting between the members 4 and 5. The space therebetween is thus free to permit the convenient insertion of the edges of the collar. It is to be noted here that the clasp is free to be easily arranged to the desired position on the collar. When this position has been attained the secure lbcking of my collar clasp in place is effected by merely turning the respective screws 9 so that the threaded portions thereof engage with the outer surface of the collar. It is to be observed that the relatively sharp formation of the screw threads cut on the screws 9 is such as to suitably engage with the collar to effect a secure hold on same. During the turning in of the screws 9 the rear face of the collar is pressed against the arcuate ends I of the rear member 5, the members 4 and 5 being of sufficiently rigid structure as to effect the desired pressure at the ends thereof.
What is claimed as new is:
1. A collar clasp comprising a front member, clamps back of the front member adjacent the ends thereof and spaced therefrom to receive the front marginal portions of a collar, and screws threadedly engaging the end portions of said front member and. positioned approximately lengthwise of the latter and adapted to press the front marginal portions of a collar against said clamps.
2. A collar clasp comprising a front member, clamps back of the front member adjacent the ends thereof and spaced therefrom to receive the front marginal portions of a collar, and screws threadedly engaging the end portions of said front member and. positioned approximately lengthwise of the latter and emerging from the rear facesof the front member and adapted to press the front marginal portions of a collar against said clamps.
