Description
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
SEBASTIAN C. MEGKEL, OF PLYMOUTH, PENNSYLVANIA.
CARRIAGE-CURTAINFASTENER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 278,989, dated June 5, 1883, Application filed April 24, 1883. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SEBASTIAN C. Mnoi'rnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Plymouth, in the county of Luzerne and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Carriage-Curtain Fasteners, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
My invention relates to an improvement in carriage curtain fasteners, and will be de scribed, and then designated in the claim.
In the drawings hereto annexed, Figure 1.
shows the application of the device to a car riage-top. Figs. 2 and 3 show the fastener in the two positions which it may assume. Fig. 4 is a section showing the fastener applied to the curtain.
The fastener is designed to be attached to the curtain adjacent to the button-hole, and secures the curtain to the knob by grasping below the head of the knob, which projects through the hole in the curtain.
The letter A designates the carriage-curtain; B, the knob, and G the wire fastener which grasps the knob. A metal plate, (7, has a guide, e, for the wire fastener projecting from its front surface. This guide is formed by striking the metal plate in a suitable die from the back side, which presses the front surface outward and cuts the metal at the top and bottom of the outward-pressed part.
The fastener 0 consists of a single piece of wire bent double at the center, 1, and then bent to form a right angle, 2, near the doubled end. The two parallel straight portions 3 of the fastener pass loosely through the guide, and are adapted to slide therein up and down. The lower end of each straight part has a curved prong, 4, the one projecting oppositely from the other, and the two curved prongs together forminga clasp adapted by the resilience of the parallel portions to be slightly opened or spread apart, and then to spring together again. It is this spring-clasp which grasps below the head of the knob. The right-angled bend 2 at the upper end is made last, and after the straight parallel portions have been inserted in the guide this bend 2 at the end of the fastener prevents it from becoming detached from the plate. This plate has a hole, B, for the passage of the knob, and is attached to the outside of the curtain in any suitable manner. In the present instance another plate, F, is placed against the inner side of the curtain, opposite the guide-plate d, and at each corner of this guide-plate a rivet, g, is placed through it, the curtain, and the inside plate, which secures the fastener permanently. Of course both the inside plate and curtain have a side guide-plate.
In order to secure the curtain, the fastener C mustbe slid up, as seen in Fig. 2. The knob B may then be projected through the hole, and then the fastener slid down to bring the clasp around the knob, as seen in Fig. 3'. In this position the fastener serves effectually to retain the curtain 011 the knob.
Having described my invention, I claim- A carriage-curtain fastener consisting of an outside metal plate, d, having a guide, e, projecting from its surface, and a knob-hole, B, and a fastener, 0, having a straight portion, 3, which passes loosely through the guide 0, and is provided at the lower end with two oppositely-curved prongs, 4, adapted to clasp the knob, as set forth.
In testimony whereofI affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
SEBASTIAN O. MEOKEL. Vitnesses:
