f' UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE H. STRIKER, OF BUFFALO, NEW YORK.
SPECTACLE-CASE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 326,065, dated September 8. 1885.
' Application nieu Novombor 26, 1884. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, GEORGE H. STRIKER, ofthe city of Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Spectacle-Cases, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improvementin speetacle-cases which are provided with a clasp or locking device,whereby they can be firmly fastened in the pocket and prevented from being lost.
My invention consists of the improvement `in the construction of the locking device,
which will be hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l represents a side elevation, and Fig. 2 a front elevation, of a spectacle-case provided with my improvement. Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal section ofthe case. Fig. 4 is a crosssection in line a: x, Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the plate whereby the clasp is-secured to the case.
Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the several lfigures.
A represents an ordinary spectacle ease, constructed of any suitable material and of the usual iiattened tubular form, open at the top and closed at the bottom.
B represents my improved clasp applied to the outer side of the ease A. -The clasp B consists of a plate or bar, b, secured near its upper end to the front side of the case, and bearing with its lower bent end against the case. The bar b is secured to the case A by means of a plate, C, which is provided on its under side with prongs or teeth d, which latter are inserted through openings formed in the front side of the case, and bent or clinched on the inner side of the case, as clearly shown in Fig. 4.
e e are lugs or ears projecting from the sides of the plate C, and f f are similar lugs formed on the bar b. The barb is pivoted to theplate C by a pin, g, which is inserted through the lugs e and f.
h represents a Hat spring, which is interposed between the bar b and the plate C. The ends of the plate C are turned up orbent over, forming hooks i c', which receive the ends of the spring It. The spring is held in place by means of the turned-up ends z and lugs e of the plate C.
k represents a lug extending downwardly from thebar b and bearing against the spring 11 whereby the lower bent end of the bar Z is held against the case. The lugk is formed by a U-shaped slot out in the bar b and turning down the metal within the slot, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
When the oase A is placed in the pocket,
the upper end of the bar b is depressed suii-V ciently to permit `the lower bent end of the bar to .be inserted over the outer side of the pocket, and by releasing the upper end of the,
bar the spring h will cause the lower bent end of the bar to bear against the outer side of the pocket, thereby clamping the outer portion of the pocket firmly against the case and preventing the latter frorn' dropping out of the pocket. The lower edge of the bar is preferably serrated or sharpened, so as to take 'a firm hold upon the cloth.
My improved clasp can be cheaply constructed and secured to the ease at compara tively small expense, and forms a reliable fastening, whereby the case is firmly held in place in the pocket.
I claim as my invention-f Ihe combination, with a spcctaelecase, of the plate C, secured to the case and provided with lugs e e and turned-np eudsz' i, a bar, b, pivoted to the lugs e e and provided with a lug, k, and a spring, h, confined betweenthe ends 'i t' of the plate and bearing against the lug 7c, whereby t-he lower end of the bar b is held against the case, substantially as set forth.
Witnessmy hand this 11th day of October, 1884. i i
GEO. H. STRIKER.
