SUSPENDER-BUCKLE.
SPECIFICATION forming. part of Letters Patent No. 253,394, dated- February '7, 1882.
I Application filed December 24,1881. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE E. KELSEY, of West Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement in Suspemler-Buckles; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in-
Figure l, afront view; Fig. 2, a rear view; Fig. 3, the blank for the lever; Fig. 4:, an end view of the lever; Fig. 5, a vertical central section on linear a2, enlarged; Fig. 6, aside view of the buckle.
This invention relates to an improvement in that class of buckles used for suspenders and like purposes, and commonly called lever-buckles-tl1at is to say, such' as consist of a plate with a lever hinged upon the back, the suspender passing betweenthe lever and plate, so as to be clamped by the lever hard upon the plate to secure it in its adjusted position, but so as to be relieved by the turning up of the lever-41nd particularly to that class of such buckles in which the lever is made from sheet metal. In this class of lever-buckles the lever has been made tubular at each end and a pivot formed on the two sides of the buckle by cutting a projecting tongue upon each side, and which are turned over inward and toward each other, and so as to enter the respective tubular ends of the lever. This construction is very weak because of the necessarily small bearings made for the lever and the strain which comes upon them. The pivots also are necessarily square or angular and make a very loose and shacklfjoint.
The object of this invention is to overcome these diliiculties and make the pivoting of the lever tirm, strong, andsmooth; and it consists in constructing the two ends of the lever in cylindrical shape and striking the seat for the ends of the leverin each side of the buckle, plate outward, so as to form a recess upon the inner surface of the sides of the plate, into which the cylindrical ends of the lever will lever will turn.
set and form bearings on which the lever may be turned, as more fully hereinafter described. The buckle-plate A may beof any of the usual forms, and provided with a loop, B, or otherwise for the attachment of the suspender ends, the shape of this plate being no part of this invention. The two sides a of the plate areturned backward to form ears bat the bearing-point for the lever, as seen in Fig. 6. In these cars a recess, d, is formed on the inside by suitable punch and die striking from the inside outward, and which forms a recess, d, upon the inside,with correspondingprojections on the outside, as seen in Fig. 5. v
The buckle-lever C is constructed of the usual form, save at the two ends it is made broad, as at e, which ends are rolled into cylindrical shape, as at f, Fig. 4, the axis of the cylindrical parts being parallel with the lever. The width of the parts e is such as to bring the two edges together, as seen in Fig. 4, and form acomplete cylindrical shape, the diameter of which is such as to permit them to be set into the recesses d in each side of the plate, as seen in Fig. 5, and so as to take a bearing therein and serve as the pivot on which the By this construction the buckle-plate may be made of much lighter material than where the pivots are formed by bending the tongues down to enter the tubular and form bearings upon which the lever may be turned, substantially as described.
