CHARLES L. HAZARD, OF EAST PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND.
BUTTON.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 231,572, dated August 24., 1880.
Application filed June 24, 1880.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES L. HAZARD, of East Providence, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Buttons; and I hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference hein g had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.
The object of this invention is to facilitate the insertion of the shoes of buttons into the button-holes.
The invention consists in providing two shoes with independent shanks to a button, to secure one of the shanks in the usual manner, and hinge the other to a plate provided with a spring, so that the two shoes may be placed one over the other and both enter the button-holes, when they may be separated, so as to be at opposite ends of the button-holes, and thus secure the button firmly, as will be more fully set forth hereinafter.
Figure 1 is a sectional view of my improy'ed button, showing the fixed and the pivoted shank and shoe. Fig. 2 is a rear view of the button, showing the pivoted plate provided with a spring, to which the swinging shank and shoe are secured. Fig. 3 is a side view, showing the two shanks and shoes swung together so as to enter the button-hole. Fig. 4 is a rear view, showing the position of the pivoted plate, spring, and shanks when the button is ready to be entered into the buttonhole. Fig. 5 is a view of the button shown secured to a cuff. The two shanks are shown in the ends of the button-hole in broken lines.
In the drawings, 0. represents the button. b is the fixed shank, and c the fixed shoe. d is the pivoted plate, secured by a screw or stud, on which the same turns. 6 is the spring, formed preferably in one piece with the plate d. The spring 6 is provided with a stop, 6, which, when the same is in the locked position, bears on the fixed shank b, and thus retains the position of the plate at and the swinging shank f.
g is the shoe secured to the shank f. h is a stop arresting the swinging motion of the plate d.
(No model.)
The operation is simple, and consists in swinging the shoe 1 from one side of the button to the opposite side and under or over the shoe 0, so that both may be entered into the button-hole at one time, and when entered in swinging the shoe g hack to its original place. where the stop 0 on the spring 0 holds the shank and shoe in this position.
Buttons of this construction can be readily secured. They are not liable to be lost, for even if the spring 6 would be worn or useless, the button-holes would hold the shanks and shoes in their proper position. This button may therefore be made without the spring 0, and depend entirely on the button-holes to be retained in position, in which case the stop It is to be moved back, so that the swinging shank will pass beyond a straight line extending from the center of the fixed shank and the pivotal center otthe plate d,- or the pivotal center may be moved outside a line from the center of the shank b to the center of the shank f, so that the swinging shank will be locked against all strain.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. In a button, a fixed shank and shoe adapted, when in use, to rest at one end of the button-hole, in combination with a movable disconnected shank and shoe and a pivoted supporting-plate therefor, whereby said movable shank and shoe may be swung into alignment with the fixed shank and shoe to facilitate the insertion of the button, and when so inserted may be swung back, so as to place said movable shank and shoe at the opposite end of the button-hole.
2. In a button, a fixed shank and shoe in combination with a plate, d, pivoted at one end to the back of the button and carrying at its other end a shank and shoe, which latter, by swinging the said pivoted plate, are adapted to be brought into alignment with the fixed shank and shoe and be returned again, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
CHARLES L. HAZARD.
