JOSEPH STADLMEYR, OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEY.

SLEEVE-BUTTON.

SPBCIEICATIQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 327,116, dated September 29, 1885.

Application filed March 5, 1885.

To (1 whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOSEPH STADLMEYR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in SleeveButtons; and I do hereby declare the following to bea full, clear, and exact description of the invention. such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form apart of this specification.

This invention relates to improvements in sleeve-buttons, and specifically to those having movable or hinged backs, and is designed to provide a button which can be cheaply made, easily adjusted to the cuff, and when so adjusted will remain securely attached to the cuff.

Said invention consists of a button having a back constructed and operating substantially as illustrated in the drawings, and described and claimed hereinafter.

The drawings accompanying this specification have three views illustrating my invention, of which Figure 1 is a side elevation; Fig. 2, a vertical section of the same, showing the hinged portion of the back turned over, ready for insertion into the cuff; and Fig. 3 is a view in which the said hinged portion is set at right angles to the fixed portion of the back, showing a plan of the spring, 620.

Similar reference letters indicate corresponding parts in each of the above-described figures.

The button, as illustrated, consists of the body or face A, cross-bar B, shank C, and a hinged back having the fixed portion E, formed integrally with or soldered to said shank, and the hinged portion F. Upon the portion E, in a line with the shank, is an angularprojection, 6, through which the pin 6, that holds the movable part F in pivotal relation therewith, passes.

The hinged or movable part F is recessed at f, to permit said part to turn around the (No model.)

angular projection, and is provided with a spring, f, riveted thereto, which projects into a recess, 0, in the shank and bears upon the upper flat side of the projection e in its ordinary position, as shown in Fig. 1.

From this construction it will be seen that considerable effort will be required to turn the movable part from the position indicated in Fig. l, as the angles or corners on said projection cause the spring to exert greater pressure, and thereby resist any ordinary force which would be liable to affect it when in the cuff, but allow thehinged portion to bereadily turned by the hand. i

A reversal of the parts above described may be madei. a, the spring secured to the fixed portion and the angular projection formed upon the movable partthe preferred form, however, being that shown in the drawings.

In many sleeve buttons having movable .backs, either partly or entirely movable, the

spring is arranged within the shank, necessitating much space to contain the said spring, making a thick and elongated shank. In the improvement herein shown the shank can be made very short and need only be thick enough to secure the requisite strength.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is- 7 As an improved article of manufacture, a sleeve-button provided with a back consisting of a fixed portion, E, having an angular projection, e, thereon in the vertical line of. the shank, and a portion, F, pivotally arranged in relation to said fixed portion, having a spring secured thereto, which engages with a recess in the shank and bears upon said projection e, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 18th day of February, 1885.

JOSEPH STADLMEYR.
