SETTING INSTRUMENT. Y y
10.275,702. Patented Apr.1o,18s.
UNITED STATES t PATENT EETCE GEORGE WV. PRENTIOE, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND.
'SETTING-INSTRUMENT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 275,762, dated April 10, 1883.
' Application filed February 12, 1883. (No model.)
To all whom t may concewu.
Be it known that I, GEORGE W. PRENTICE, a citizen of theUuited States, residing at Providence, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Setting-Instruments; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the'invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and ligures of reference marked thereon, vwhich form a part of this specification.
My present invention relates to improvements in that class of settinginstruments which are adapted for attaching buttons to fabrics or other materialsV by means of a nnetallic fastener or connection; and my improvements consist of a setting-instrument the upperjaw of which is provided with a' recessvforv holding the buttons which are to be attached to fabrics, and also provided with dies of novel construction and arrangement, which. are adapted to curve or deilectthe points or prongs of a fastening device, which is held in the lower jaw of the instrument in such manner that one of the said points or prongs is bent down upon the upper surface o'f the fabric to form a retaining plate or table, while the opposite point or prong passes through the shank of the button and forms a loop to secure the same to thefabric, all as will be hereinafter more fully described, and pointed out in the plan view of the lowerjaw; Fig. 4, a side view of the form of fastener adapted to be used in connection with my setting-instrument, and Fig. 5 a similar view as attached in place to a button and fabric.
Similar letters of reference occurring on the 5o several gures indicate like parts.
In carrying out my improvements the upper jaw, A, of the setting-instrument is provided with a suitable recess, a, for receiving the button, which is held in place by a curved spring, B, attached to the upper surface of the said jaw A, as shown. The recess a opens outwardly to one side ofthe said jaw, and is provided with a slot, b, in its lower surface, for the shank of the button to project through into the curved recess or die O, directly below the said recess a. The outer end wall, D, of the upper jaw, A, projects downwardly, as shown, and is provided with a curved die, d, upon the lower inner end of the same. The lower jaw, A', is provided with an elongated slot or groove, e, to firmly hold the base ofthe fastener during the operation of setting the same, said fastener having a short 4prong at one'end and a longer prong at the opposite "end, and both projecting upward, as shown.
In the operation of my improved device the button is first adjusted within the recess a., under the spring B, with its shank portion projecting down through the slot b, as fullyshown in Fig. 1. The metallic fastener or connection is then adjusted in the slot or groove c of the lowerjaw, A', with the long and short prongs projecting upward, as shown. The fabric or material to which the. button is to be attached is now inserted between the twojaws, and by depressing the handles E E thejaws are closed together, the die d of the extension D rst bending the shorter prong of the fastener, which has passed through the fabric, over upon the top surface thereof, while the upper die, O, as it descends, deilects the longer prong-ot the fastener through the shank of the button and forms a loop for securely attaching the same to the fabric, as fully shown in Figs. 2 and 5, a suitable stop, c, being provided to the rear side of the curved recess or die O, to guide the longer prong in the proper direction to be deflected through the shank of the button.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and useful is- 1. As an improved article of manufacture, the herein-described setting-instrument, consisting of the jaws A A', operated by the handles E E', the upper jaw, A, of which is provided with a holding mechanism for the button,an upper enlarged die, C, and .fr lower die, lower jaw, A', having elongated slot; e, sub- 1o d, and the lower jaw, A', provided with an stantially as and for the purpose speoied. elongated slot or groove, o, all substantially as In testimony whereof I affix my signature in and for the purpose specified. presence of two witnesses.
