UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
FRANKLIN A. SMITH, in, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE 1SLAND.
BUTTON-FASTENER.
srncrrrcA'rroiv forming part of Letters Patent No. 276,638, dated May 1, 1883.
Application filed February 28, 1883.
.To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRANKLIN A. SMITH, J r., a citizen of the United States,residin g at Providence, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inDevices forAttaching Buttons to Fabrics; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description 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 letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to an improved device for attaching buttons to garments orother fabric, whereby the use of setting-instruments is avoided.
My invention consists essentially of a fastener or holder made from wire or cut from sheet metal and having two depending legs united at the upper end, and thereby forming a loop, said loop portion being bent or formed at right angles with the legs, the latter adapted to pass through the fabric from the upper surface thereof.
In the accompanying drawings, (greatly enlarged,)Figure 1 represents-a perspective view of my button attachment. Fig. 2 represents the same as it appears in the garment before bending the leg. Fig. 3 represents my device complete as inserted in the fabric and ready for use.
In the drawings, A is the fastener or buttonattaching device, preferably formed of flat wire and consisting of the rounded loop a and sides a, the latter being bent at right angles to said loop and near the upper end thereof, thereby forming the two parallel legs (4 as shown in Fig. 1.
In Fig. 2 I have represented my device A as being in position to enter the upper side of the fabric, (see dotted lines,) while the full lines representthe same when in position after pass in g the legs a through the fabric, one of the (No model.) i
legs being bent back, as shown also by dotted lines. r
The operation and use of my improved button attachment is as follows: The button being selected, which may be an ordinary metallic suspender or flat button, the legs a of the device are first passed through said button, after which the legs are inserted or pressed through the fabric until the fastener assumes the position shown in Fig. 2, and finally one of the legs is bent back, as shown in Fig. 3, thereby presenting a broad retaining-surface against the back side of the fabric.
I may make the ends of thelegs a pointed or beveled for more readily entering the fabric,instead of-first making two openings therein for theinsertion of said legs. an advantage derived from this method over the use of a long slot in the fabric being less damage to said fabric, as the two openings prevent the holder from turning and is more rigidly secured thereto, and at the same time allows the holder to be removed when desired. The holder is always inserted from the upper surface of thefabric, having first been passed through the button, the whole being used and applied withoutthe aid of a setting-instrument.
With proper care and economy my improved arranged and adapted for use substantially as.
shownand described.
In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
