UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JAMES S. SMITH, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
EPAULET.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 23,620, dated April 12, 1859; Reissued November 26, 1861, No. 1,238.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES S. SMITH, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Epaulets; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in which Figure l, is a central section of an epaulet with my in'iprov-en'ient, having the fringe attached. Fig. 2. is a perspective view of the shell of the epaulet, in an inverted position.
Fig. 3, is a perspective view of what I term the adjuster, with its attached fringe, detached from the shell.
Similar lettersof reference denote like parts in all of the figures.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe it with reference to the drawings.
In carrying out my invention, the shell A, of the epaulet is constructed in the same manner as when intended to be worn without fringe, or as sometimes constructed when worn with fringe except that no holes are provided in the margin for sewing on the fringe as has heretofore been customary. To the under part of the shell thus constructed I attach permanently by soldering or otherwise, two small metallic straps a, a, and a small staple or eye I), in about the positions shown in Fig. 2, the former being attached at each of their extremities so as to leave room between them and the shell to receive the ends of what I term the adjuster, B. This adjuster consists of a strip of metal of rectangular form in its transverse section and of a form longitudinally to conform to and be received within and covered by the outer margin of the shell, as shown in Fig. 2, where it is represented in its place in red outline. The extremities of the said adjuster are formed as shown at 0, Figs. 2 and 3, to pass between the straps (,(6, and the shell, and said adjuster has permanently attached at its middle a piece of metal plate e, so formed with a slot 7, that when said adjuster is placed close within the margin of the shell with the ends 0, 0, within the straps a, a, the slot 7, will fit over the staple or eye Z), as shown in Figs. 1, and 2, and permit the adjuster to be secured in the shell by passing a small thong or key 9, of leather or other suitable material tightly through the projecting portion of said staple or eye.
The fringe or bullion C, is permanently attached to the adjuster B, by sewing with a thread lnpassing through holes 2', 2', provided in the adjuster to receive it, and is permitted to be taken out by simply drawing out the thong or key g, drawing the middle portion of the adjuster away from the shell, and slipping out the ends a, c, from under the straps a, a. The fringe or bullion is replaced again by first slipping the ends of the adjuster into the straps a, a, then bringing the slot f, over the staple b, and replacing the thong or key g; the adjuster being then concealed when the epaulet is in wear, and the epaulet presenting a neater appearance than the ordinary fringed or bullion epaulet.
hat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The arrangement and combination of the adjuster B, fringe C, and shell A, substantially as and for the purpose herein shown and described.
JAMES S. SMITH. Witnesses:
JAs. S. SMITH, Jr., W. TUSCH.
