BUTTON.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 323,359, dated July 28, 1885.
Application tiled May 14, i885. (No model.)
170 @ZZ whom, it may concern.-
e it known that I, JOSEPH l?. NOYES, a citizen ot' the United States, residing at Binghamton, county ot' Broome, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Buttons, fully described and represented in the following specitication and the accompanying drawings, forming a part ot' the same.
1o This invention relates generally to that class of buttons which are adapted to be fastened to the garment by means ot' a metallic pin or shank, which passes through the Jfabric and enters the head or body ofthe button, as distinguished from those which are adapted to be attached by thread passing` through the fabric and an eye or eyes in or on the button. In the buttons ot' this class as commonly constructed the fastening pin or shank has 2o been secured in the head or body either by being clinched or by engaging with holding jaws with which the head was provided.
The present invention relates, particularly, to this latter class ot' buttons, and it consists in 2 5 certain improvements in the means for holding the shank in the head and in certain combinations ot'said means with other parts,which will now be i'ully explained and pointed out in. connection with the accompanying drawings, in which- Fignre l is a plan or top view of the complete button. lig. 2 is a similar view with the cover removed. Fig. 3 is a like view illustrating a slight modification which will be hereinafterrcterred to. Figzisasiinilarview with the cover and the interior disk removed so as to expose the device for holding the shank in the head. Fig. 5 is a side view of the complete button with the shank insert( d 4o in the head. Fig. 6 is a cross-section of the button-head or body before the shank is inserted. Fig. is a like view showing the shank inserted, and Fig. 8 is a side view of the device for holding thc shank removed from its seat in the head.
teferring to said figures, it is to be understood that the back A of the head or body of the button is made ot' metal or other stili' materia-l, and is of substantially the usual form.
5o It is provided at its center with a depression, i
a, n which is seated the device for holdingl the shank in the head, and in the bottom of which depression is located the usual 0pening, l), for the reception of the attaching stem or shank B. The top or cover C ot' the head 55 is made ot metal or cloth, or of any ofthe materials or combinations ot' materials commonly used for such purposes, and is secured to the back A by means of the inwardly-bentdange c, or in any other convenient or suitable manner. 6o
The head or body thus constructed instead ot' being provided with spring-jaws to engage with the shank B, as in the ordinary constructions, is provided with a holding device, which consists of a longitudinally-perforated 6 5 cone, d, which is seated loosely in the depression c, and is so shaped as to conform substantially to the sides ofsaid depression. The central opening, p, ot' the cone d is slightly smaller than the diameter ot' the shank B, but 7c the cone is made ot' some slightly yielding or elastic material, so that it will spread suliiciently to receive the end of the shank.
There are a great variety of materials of which the cone d may be made. l have found that horn, leather, artificial leather, comparatively hard rubber, and many other similar substances answer well for the purpose.
The cone (l is of such length that a small space is lel't between its top and the cover O, 8o
\ so that itcan be raised slightly from its scat in the depression ce as the shank B is forced into its central opening.
rhe cone d, may he made solid but in order to facilitate the introduction of the shank B it will preferably be slit upon one side, as shown at le, so that it will more readily spread or open when it is raised in its seat, as just stated.
The space between the top of the cone d 9o and the cover O is not sufficient to permit the cone to become displaced from its seat after the cover has been placed upon the head. It is preferable, however, that means should be provided by which the cone will be prevented 4from rattling or shitting its position to any extent until the shank is inserted. For this purpose a plain disk, m, may be interposed between the cover C and back A, so as to rest upon the top ot' the cone d., and thus hold it rco in position in its seat, as shown in Fig. G. This disk m may be made of thin pasteboard or of very thin metal, so that when the shank Yis inserted it will yield and allow the cone d to rise in its seat. It maybe continuous, as shown in Fig. 2, or itvmay be of annular form, as shown in Figs. 3, 6, and 7. If made of the annular form, it will preferably be slit so as to provide spring-arms o, which rest upon the top of the cone d, as shown in Fig. 3.
The shank B will preferably be solid, as shown, but it may be hollow or of tubular form. It is provided upon its outer end with a head, j', to lprevent it from being drawn through the fabric and upon its inner end with a number of sharp teeth, t', preferably cut like the teeth of a ratchet. If the material of which the cone d is made is comparatively soft and yielding, so that the teeth of the shank will take hold of it readily, then the sides ofits central opening,p, may be made smooth, as shown; butif the material of which the cone is niade is oi" a more unyielding nature the sides of its central opening` will preferably be made somewhat rough or irrregnlar, so that the teeth ofthe shank will take hohl of it more readily. rlhc teeth t' of the shank B will preferably be made of the ratchet form shown; but this form of teeth may be varied without departing' from the invention. In some cases the teeth may be made in the form of the threads of a screw, except that they will be parallel instead of in a spiral forni.
The manner of applying the button thus constructed is as follows: The shank B will be passed through the fabric D, as shown in Fig. 7, and its end inserted through the opening b and into the end of the openingp in the cone d.Y As the end of the shank is then forced farther inward, it will raise the cone d from its seat in the depression a until it'is arrested by the top or cover G, the disk on, if the button-head is provided with the disk, yielding sufiiciently'to permit this. As the cone el is thus raised it will occupy a wider portion of the depression a, so that as the shank B is forced into the opening p the cone can spread or open slightly to receive the shank, and this will continue until the shank has been forced in ward to the proper position, as shown in Fig. 7. After the shank has been forced inward to this position, if any attempt is made to withdraw it the yielding or elastic nature of the material of which the cone d is composed will cause the teeth z to engage with and take into the sides of the opening p, so that the cone will wedge in between the shank and the sides of the depression a, and thus hold the shank firmly in the head. The elasticity of the disk m or the arms o, if the head is provided with the disk, will also tend to force the cone downward, and thus aid in causing it to wedge in between the shank and the sides of the depression ct.
What I claim isl. A button head or body provided with the perforated conical-shaped holding device d, nia-de of yielding` or elastic material, substantially as described.
2. A button head or body provided with the perforated conical-shaped holding device d, made of yielding or elastic material, and the disk m, substantially as described.
3. A button head or body provided with the depression a, in which is seated the perforated conical-shaped holdin g device d, made of yielding or elastic material, substantially as described.
4c. A button head or body provided with the depression a, in which is seated the perforated and slit conical-shaped holding device d, made of yielding or elastic material, substantially as described.
5. The combination, with the head or body having the depression a and the conicalshaped holding device d, made of yielding or elastic material, of the toothed shank B, stbstantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
JOSEPH P. NOYES.
