FASTENER' FOR GLQVES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 233,060, dated October :5,

Application filed June 11, 1880. i (No model.) latented in France June 9, 1579, and in England June 9, 1d?!) v To all whom it may concern:

.Be it known that I, EDMUND WRIGHT, a sub- V ject of- Great Britain, residing at Birmingham,

in the county of Warwick, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements v in Fasteners for Gloves, Gaiters, Purses, and

. theaccompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference markcdthereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to an improved fastener consisting of two parts, the one constructed of a cylindrical shell (or it may be a solid head) fitted to rotate within another similar sh ell, for the purpose of interlocking with a stud or pin constitutingthe other part of the fastener,

, whereby great strength, SlZIlPllGllZ,-rild edieiency of action are secured;

In order that the invention may be more readily understood, 1 have illustrated it in the accompanying drawings, and will proceed to describe it with reference thereto.

The same letters correspond to like parts in eaeh figure.

Figure 1 is an elevation of the front portion or head of the fastener, and Figs. 2 and 3 are elevations of the two parts of which it is composed. Fig. 4 is a central vertical section of the entire fastener, and Fig. 5 ahorizontal section thereof on line 1 1 Fig. 4. g

I A is a covered cylindrical shell, having by preference an oval cover (or it maybe a solid head) fitted to revolve freely in an outer cylinder or shell, B, the two shells being connected together by the inner shell, A, being slotted or grooved for rather more than a quarter of its circumference on opposite sides, as seen at a,

,in which slots or grooves work nibs 1), formed by piercing the outer cylinder, as shown, and bending down the nibs so formed into, the groove a. These "hos answer the triple I purpose of holding me inner shell in its place in the outer one, as stops to prevent the-inner shell from turning more than the required distance, and as a brake to prevent the inner shell revolving too freely.

The outer shell is provided with a tubular neck, 0, to receive the stud or, pin D, (shownin Fig. 9,) and constituting the other: portion of the fastener. This neck G is pa'ssedthrough one part of the garment on which itisinte'nded 'to fasten. A washer, F, slightly larger than the cylinder B, is now passed over :the neck 0, which is then clinched or riveted over it, the

materialE beingthel'eby embedded in the Washer F, and thus firmly secured between it and the cylinder '13.

Instead of cli'nohin g the neck (3 a. thread may be cut thereon and a. dish-shaped nut made use of. I The pin D is attached to the other part of the garment or article to be fastened in a similarmanncr.

The pin or stud D has a flator oblong head, d, with notches d in st beneath, and the bottom of theinner shell or cylinder, A, has a corre sponding oblong slot, 6, as shown in Fig. 7, for the head d to pass through, and on'turm ing the inner shell, A, one-quarter of a revolution the hand (I is held in the slot 0 by the sides of the latter engaging in the-notches d, as seen in Fig. 5. v

The portions of the fastener being attached to the two parts ofthe article to lie-fastened, as above mentioned, if the shell A be turned until its slot 6 coincides in position with the head d of stud D, the former can be slipped .frcely' onto the latter, and the two secured to gether by turning the shell A a quarter of a revolution, so that the slot 0 will be at right angles to the head 42, as before mentioned.

fastener are locked together by a spring, F,

engaging with a notch, d,at one .side of the stud D, which in this case is ,of cylindrical form with a conical point, as shown in Fig. 30, the aperture 6 in the'bottom of the inner shell, A, Fig. 8, being likewise circular to allow of it rotating on the stud D.

The springis preferably of the S form shown,

its two ends having upwardly'turned lugs ff, which enter holes in theloottom of the shell A. The middle portion of the spring lies partly across the aperture e',ra's shown, so that when the stud D is inserted the spring will be pushed to one side by the conical point of the stud, and afterward fall into the notehd, when the inner shell, A, is turned round to bring the spring opposite said notch.

The motion of the inner shellislli-mited by the nibs b, as before, except that in this case it should be about onethird of a revolution. 0n turning it the reverse way the spring leaves the notch and bears against the plain part of the stud, 2. iz-ieh is then free to be withdrawn.

The top of the shell A may be plain or set with jewels or other ornaments, as desired.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Extent, is-- 1. In a button-fastener, the inwardly-turned nibs b, formed in the outer shell of the button, and arranged to work in slots in an inner shell, whereby the inner shell is retained within the outer one, audit-s movement therein limited and regulated, substantially as shown and de' scribed.

2. In a button-fastener, the combination of the inner shell, A, having slots (1 e, the outer shell, B, having nibs b and tubular neck (3-,the washer F, and the stud D, provided. with a flat o; sblong head, d, and notches d, substantial] y and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses. v
