JOHN P. LINDSAY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
GARMENT-CLASP..
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 248,936, dated November 1, 1881.
Application filed September 10, 1881. (ModeL) To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN P. LINDSAY, of New York, in the county of New York, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment-Clasps; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to that class of devices known as garment-clasps, which are employed for the purpose of supporting stockings on the wearer of the same, holding up shirt-sleeves, and the like.
The device in question consists of two light struck-up metal plates, fulcrumed together so as to fOIllI a pair of clamping-jaws, and provided both with a spring for normally closing the jaws and with a pin or pins for securing the device to the article of wear.
The object of the invention is, first, to provide a cheap, simple, and effective garmentclasp having a pin attachment; second, to provide means for preventing the spring from being pressed forward when the jaws are opened, third, to strengthen the device at the fulcral bearings of the plates that are pivoted together to form the clamping-jaws; fourth, to so form one of the plates that the pin or pins can be readily engaged with or disengaged from a catch or catches. These objects are attained by means of the devices hereinafter described, and illustrated in the-annexed drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a top or plan view; Fig. 2, a side view; Fig. 3, a bottom view. Fig. 4: shows the device from one end, and Fig. 5 the same from its opposite end, with the jaws open. Fig. 6 is a central transverse section.
A and 13 indicate two light metal plates, which are struck up by means of suitable dies. The plate A is formed with two cars, a a, and the plate B with ears b b, and these two parts are pivoted or fulcrumed together by means of small projections on the ears ofplate A entering recesses in the ears of plate B. These projections and recesses of the ears are simply formed by indenting the same, so that a pivot-pin is dispensed with. These plates are serrated at one end. 0, these said ends constituting the clamping-jaws. To normally close the jaws, a small coiled spring, D, is arranged between the plates at their fulcral bearings. In order to prevent this spring from pressing forward when the handle ends of the plates are brought together, so as to open the jaws, I bend a part of the metal of the ears of plate B inward, so as to form lips Ejust in front of the said spring.
It will be observed that plate Bis narrowed at is central portion, and that it is struck up so as to form the side flanges, b b, which also constitute the aforesaid ears b. This construction provides strongfulcral supports, and adds greatly to the efficiency of the device.
The plate B is formed at one end with the bent lip F, which constitutes a socket for the shank of the pin.
I can employ two pins, G G, as shown, in which case both will be formed from a single piece, bent and hinged as shown; or but one pin may be used, if preferred. At its opposite end said plate has two bent lips, H H, which constitute catches for the pins. The plate narrows toward this end, so that the pins, when disengaged from the catches, will be in lines outside of the same. To engage the pins, it will simply be necessary to compress them in a direction toward each other, then bring them between the catches, and as soon as released they will spring apart and be caught and held under the catches. If one pin is used, then one catch will be employed, the principle of construction and operation being, however, the same in both instances.
The plate A will preferably be formed with depression, so thatit will conform to the spring, and it can be stamped with any appropriate design. These devices are made cheaply and of light sheet metal; hence the features hereinbefore set forth are found to be of the utmost practical importance.
What I claim is-- 1. A garment-clasp comprising a pair of spring clamping-jaws, the under one of which is provided with ears bent inward, so as to form lipsjust in front of the spring, in order to prevent the same from pressing forward when the jaws are opened, substantially as described.
2. The metal plate forming the lower jaw, having sideflanges constitutingenlarged bearings, substantially as described.
3. A garment-clasp provided with a pin attachment, the under plate being formed at one end with a bent lip, forming a socket for the to pin, and narrowed at the opposite end, which is provided with catches for the pin, substantially as and for the purpose herein shown and specified.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in 15 presence of two Witnesses.
