BUTTON-SETTING INSTRUMENT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent .No. 293,234, dated February 12, 15.84.
Application filed November SL'ISSS. (No model.)
TON, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Marshall, in the county of Calhoun and State of Michigan, have invented a new I and useful Settingdnstrument for Attaching Buttons to Leather an d other Fabrics, of which the following is a specification.
.The invention relates to that class of setting devices used in clinching metallic staples or fasteners which engage with the eye of the button and have prongs which pass through the fabric and are clinched on the side of the fabric opposite the button; and the object of my invention is to produce a setting device which can be used conveniently for setting and clinching an ordinary metallic staple, and have the two prongs of the staple, if desired, in a line at right angles with the strain on the button. This object I accomplish by means of the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a side elevation of my setting device in perspective. Fig. 2 is likewise a side elevation, but with a portion of the jaws cut away in order to show the position of the metallic staple and button in the jaws. Fig. 3 shows the form of the metallic staple after the button has been attached to the fabric. Fig. 4 shows a perspective view of the front end of the setting device; and Fig. 5, a perspective .view of the guide detached, showing the form of the groove and slot used for holding the staple and button.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
In the drawings, J and J represent thejaws of the setting device, and O C the handles. One jaw and-one handle may be in one piece, and the jaw may be attached by a bolt or rivet, in the manner of ordinary nippers. l
G is a guide placed between the jaws, and may be attached by the same rivet which attaches the jaws, and may be so attached as to be moved to or from either jaw. The guide- G is provided with a groove, t, for the reception of the staple S, and a slot, t, for the reception of that portion of the button-eye which is between the staple and the button. a is a groove for the reception of that portion of the button-eye that is below the staple. This construction allows the operator to place the staple in the groove t, and the button, being at the outer end-30f the guide G, is entirely out of the way of the jaws.
e is the fabric in position to receive the staple S, and B is the button.
The jaw J is flattened and provided with two or more grooves for directing the points of the staples after they have been pressed through the fabric against the jaw. The jaw J has a projection, so constructed that when the jaws are brought toward each other the projection passes into the groove t of guide G. This projection is provided with a recess or slot, 1, leaving two projections, one on either side of slot 1?, and they are each grooved so as to fit upon the back of .the staple. When a flat or rectangular piece of metal is used for the staple, the grooved form may be dispensed 7 with. The object of the slot P is to receive the eye of the button and to allow the projecting ends of the jaw to press directly on the staple. I
The operation of my invention is as follows: The staple is placed in the eye of the button and the staple then placed in the groove t in the guide G, the points of the staple being toward thejaw J, and the rounded portion toward J. The slot t receives the upper part of the button-eye and allows it to be moved freely therein. The fabric is placed between the jaw J and the guide G, the position of the fab ric, the staple, and the button being shown in Fig. 2. Now, by closing the jaws the staple is driven through the fabric, and coming in contact with the grooved face G of jaw J, the points-fare turned toward each other and clinched, thereby attaching the button to the fabric. By means of my device the staple o may be driven through the fabric, so that the two prongs pierce it in a line at right angles with the strain upon the staple, so that when the button is attached to any article the strain 10 Letters Patent, isr In a button-setting instrument, the guide G,
provided with the slot 6, and groove 25, placed between and in combination with the jaws J and J, the groove t and the slot 13 being so placed with reference to each other that the groove 1 will receive the staple and the slot i the eye of the button, substantially as described.
