LITTLETON W. T. LODGE, OF INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, ASSIGNOR TO THE NOVELTY MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.
CUFF-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 319,280, dated June 2, 1885.
Application filed March 14, 1885. (No model.)
of Indiana, have invented a new and useful" Cuff-Holder, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improved means of suspending and fastening cuffs; and the ob- IO ject of my invention is to providea cheap de vice which will be easily adjusted and sure These objects I j to hold the cuff in position. attain by the mechanism illustrated in them:- cornpanying drawings, inwhich 1 Figure 1 shows the complete device, the dotted lines showing the manner in which the outer ends will open when the loop end is pressed. Fig. 2 shows the device inserted in the cuff, ready to be fixed to the sleeve of the shirt. Fig. 3 shows the cuff fastened to the shirt-sleeve by means of the holder. Fig. 4 shows the holder before the ends are bent at right angles into the position shown in the dotted lines.
2 Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
The holder is constructed in the following manner: A piece of spring-wire of suitable length is bent until the two ends are almost 0 brought in contact with each other, thus forming a U-shaped device with parallel sides. The two ends of the U-shaped wire are then bent outwardly until they stand at right angles to the sides of the U, after which the 5 sides of the U are pressed together until they cross in the form of an X, bringing the ends together, as is shown in Fig. 4. When the sides of the U are crossed in this manner, the ends will be forced apart by pressing with 0 the thumb and finger on the loop end of the holder, as shown in the dotted lines in Fig. 1.
To obviate a tendency on the part of the sides to uncross themselves and fiy back, when pressed upon, into their parallel posi- 5 tion, I bend the ends until they stand at right angles to the U, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 4, and as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. To bend the wires in this manner, I have found by practical experiment, holds the sides in their crossed position.
The practical application of my cuff-holder is as follows: The ends are forced open by pressing on the loop with the thumb and finger, as shown in Fig. 1. One of the ends is then passed through the button-hole of the cuff, and the cuff slipped down into the loop of the holder, as shown in Fig. 2. The cuff is then passed over the hand into position and fastened at any desired point. This fastening is done by forcing open the ends, as before, and engaging a fold of the shirt-sleeve between the ends of the holder, as shown .in Fig. 3. The tension of the wire spring when the pressure of the thumb and finger is removed will clamp the holder and cuff securely to the sleeve. To keep the fold of the garment from slipping out from between the ends of the holder, the ends may be provided with teeth, or otherwise roughened.
Instead of clamping the device over a fold 7o in the shirt-sleeve, the ends of the holder may be inserted in the button-holes of the wristbands of the shirt, in which case they serve also as buttons to hold the wristbands.
Having thus fully described my invention, 7 what I claim as new, and wish to secure by Letters Patent, is
A cuff-holder made of spring-wire crossed to form a loop, and having its ends turned inward until they meet, and then both ends bent in the same direction till they stand at right angles to the body of the holder in the shape of an inverted L, substantially as described, and for the purposes specified.
In witness whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
LITTLETON W. T. LODGE.
