OHARLES J. S. HAYDEN, OF WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS.
SPRING LOCKING-CLASP FOR GARMENTS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 317,645, dated May 12, 1885.
Application filed January 21, 1885.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, CHARLES J. S. HAYDEN, of St. J ohns, Newfoundland, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, and a resident of Worcester, in the county of Worcester and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Spring Locking-Clasps for Garments,Drapery, and other Similar Articles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which-- Figure 1 represents a side view of a spring lockingclasp embodying my said improvement. Fig. 2 represents an edge View of the device. Fig. 3 represents a side view of the device with the ends clasped together, to show the position of the parts when clasped for use, as shown in Fig. 4.. Fig. 4 represents the device closed, supporting an article of clothing, as will be hereinafter more fully described; and Fig. 5 represents the device when used for holding up the shirt-sleeve, as will be hereinafter described.
To enable those skilled in the art to which my invention belongs to make and use the same, Iwill proceed to describe it more in detail.
The nature of my invention consists in a pcculiarly-constructed spring or locking device whereby, when it is locked in position for use, the hook part will press onto and down against the loop part.
It also consists in serrating the surfaces which come in contact for clasping the fabric to be held.
In the drawings, A represents the completed device, consisting of the body or spring part B, the large loop 0, smaller loop D, and U- bend E. The under side of loop D and the upper side of loop 0 are serrated, as indicated in the drawings at a and d, respectively.
In Fig. 4. of the drawings the fabric or clothing, F, to be held is shown carried through the large loop G by means of the small loop D, while the U-bend E springs out against the outer edge, e, of the loop, thereby holding the fabric securely in position, and that, too, with out danger or liability of tearing the same.
In Fig. 5 the device is shown as applied for holding up the shirt-sleeve G, rolled up on the (No model.)
arm H. WVhile the small loop D, when the parts arelocked in position, as shown in Figs. 3, 4, and 5, presses down and out against the outer end of loop 0, loop 0 in turn presses up under the shank f of loop D, and also has a tendency to draw against the upper corner, 9, of U-bend E, whereby,when the strain of the article to be held is brought to bear upon the device, as shown in Fig. 4 of the drawings, the corner 9 of U-bend E and shank f of loop D are drawn down against the lower edge of loop 0, thereby holding the fabric in a secure position, while the serrated surfacesa and d of the loops 0 and D aid in preventing its slipping. It will thus be seen that by the construction and arrangement of the different parts of my improved locking-clasp both the spring action of the device and the pressure of the article tend to hold the parts in position and prevent the fabric from slipping therefrom. Then, again, in applying the device it can be done very conveniently, since by placing the forefinger upon the curved point m and the thumb upon the point n, allowing the little finger to support the bend 0 of the device, the article can be readily clasped in position or unclasped with one hand.
It will be understood that the bend or base 0 of the device may be supported by a ring or tape, or in any other convenient manner, depending upon the particular use to which the device is to be applied. The serrations a and (2, being made to stand in opposite directions, tend to lock with each other, thereby, as before indicated, greatly aiding in the secure tension of the fabric between the two loop ends 0 and D.
Manufactured from spring-wire, the article can be made and furnished to the trade at very small expense, and when in use it is not liable to be broken or become injured, and, being simple in operation, can be used with ease and facility by both young and old, as well as by middleaged.
I am aware of the English Patent No. 2,208 of 1861, and hereby disclaim all the difierent forms of clasp described in said patent and represented in the drawings thereof, the construction and operation of my clasp being substantially different from that shown and described in said English patent.
Having described my improved lockingclasp, what I claim therein as new, and desire to seoure'by Letters Patent, is-
- Animproved clasp for garments, consisting of a body or spring bow part, B, having a curved loop-extension part, 0, small loop D, U-bend E, and curved pointm between loop D and body part B, said parts being constructed and arranged to operate in relation to each other substantially as described, whereby,
IO when the loops 0 and D are brought or sprung in a direct line toward each other, loop D will enter from the inside of loop 0, and when re leased will Spring out over the outer edge of loop 0, while loop 0 will spring up against the shank f of loop D, as and for the purpose set I5 forth. 1
