METHOD OF SECURING BUTTONS TO MATERIALS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 268,370, dated November 28, 1882,
I Application filed March 18, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom "it may concern Be it known that I, JosEPH MATHISON, of Lynn, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have in vented'certain Improvements in the Method of Securing Buttons to Material, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to the fastening of that class of buttons composed of a head and an eye projecting therefromto the material or article to which such buttons appertain.
The invention has for its object to provide an improved method of attachment, whereby a series or row of buttons of this class can be secured to a boot or shoe or other article bya single continuous thread or cord, each button being'in'dependently secured, so that if the thread should be severed at points between the buttons none of the fastenings would be affected.
To this end my invention consists in theimproved method of attachment, which I will now proceed to describe and claim.
The accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, represent the different stages of the operation of securing a button by my improved method.
The same letters of reference indicate the same parts in all the figures.
In carrying out my invention, I hold a but ton, A, with its eye substantially parallel to the surface of the material 13,130 which the button is to be secured, as shown in Figure 1. I may here remark that I prefer to perform the 3 5 successive operations hereinafter described by a suitable machine having a receptacle for the buttons, automatic means for feeding the buttons to the point where they are to be secured, said means being, for example, such as are shown in Letters Patent of the United States No. 252,117, issued to me January 10,1882,
and suitable mechanism for forming and interlocking the loops hereinafter described. I do not limit myself, however, to any special 5 form of mechanism or means for carrying out my-invention. The button being held as above described, I first draw through the material 13 and through the eye of the button a primary loop, C, which is of such length as to extend them into a square knot, which, when its parts are drawn taut, effectually secures the button, so that when a row of buttons are attached in the manner described to a continuous cord or thread the parts of the thread between the secondary loop, D, of one fastening and the primary loop of the adjacent fastening may be severed or broken without in any wayaftecting either fastening, each being independent of all the others. The fastening thus formed, besides being independent, constitutes a comparatively stiff connection between the button and the material to which it is secured, causing the button to stand out conveniently from the material, instead of hanging loosely. It is also economical in the consumption of thread. When the fastening is formed by a machine the loops C D will be drawn by a suitable needle, either hooked or having an eye, and the loop C will be bent, as shown inFig. 2, by
a lateral movement of the needle, while the latter is raised, so that the loop D will be drawn through the loop C, as shown in Fig. 3,
by the next upward movement of the needle- I claim 1. The improved method herein described of securing buttons to material, the same consisting in drawing a primary loop of thread through the material and through the eye of the button, then drawing a secondary loop through the material and through the primary loop outside of the eye of the button, then tightening the primary loop, and finally passing the secondary loop over the button and tightening said loop, thereby forming a square knot, as set forth.
2. The article or material and the buttons thereon, combined with a single thread having two 1oopsviz., a. primary and secondaryscribing Witnesses, this 15th day of March, A. for each button, the primary 100p passing D. 1882. through the eye of the button and around the secondary 100p, and the secondary loop pass- JOSEPH MATHISON' 5 ing around the eye of the button, as set forth. Witnesses:
In testimony whereofI have signed my name 0. F. BROWN,
to this specification in the presence of two sub- A. L. WHITE.
