CUFF-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming partof Letters Patent No. 334,391, dated January 12, 1886.

Application filed November 7, 1885. Serial No. 182,134. (No model.)

1' 0 all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FREDERICK E. KOHLER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Canton, county of Stark, State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cuff-Holders, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in cuff-holders; and it consists in providing a cuffholder as hereinafter specified, and set forth in the claim.

Letter A, Figure 1, is a view of my invention as applied to a cuff. Fig. 2 is a view of one form of my improved cuff-holder, showing the bars I) b of the hook-shank about parallel with each other. Fig. 3 is a view showing the shank-bars b b formed in semicircles d d, and adapted to embrace the neck of a sleevebutton,f, Fig. 5.

Similar letters of reference indicate corre sponding parts.

The cuff-holder may be made of any suit able metal spring-wire of about No. 17 gage, and may be formed by. cutting the wire in suitable lengths say about five and one-half inches long. Bend this piece in its middle back on itself, forming a long U, with the sides I) 1) parallel and about one-eighth of one inch apart. Turn the bent end over the sides I) b, so as to form the hook (I. This hook may be from one-half to three-fourths of one inch long, and should be about parallel with and over the shank b b, and about one-eighth of one inch above said shank-bars, which may be of any desired length, but preferably about one inch, at which point g the wire maybe bent out sidewise at about a right angle for the distance of about one-half of one inch to a point, h, at which point it is formed or bent out to a line at about aright angle with the section between 9 and h and parallel with the shanks b b, and the end of the wire turned back on itself, or may be formed into aring or any desired form of finish. The end of the wire b at g is crossed over to the 11 side, and the wire on the b side at g is crossed over to the b side, so that when the ends J J are pressed together the parallel or shank bars b b will be moved apart, as shown by Fig. 4, so that the holder .may be placed over the button or removed from the button.

As hereinbefore stated, the shanks b and b may be formed as shown at d and d, so as to embrace the neck of the button, to prevent any sliding movement of the holder on the button. The hook a may be ornamented with a button or any other form of ornament. I

I do not wish to be confined to the described method of forming the cuff-holder, as the mat ter of forming may be better accomplished by the use of machinery adapted for the purpose.

Having described one method of forming my improved ouffholder, what I claim as new,

and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

As a new article of manufacture, a cuffholder made of a single piece of spi'ingwire, bent substantially as described, and provided at one end with a hook for the attachment of the cuff thereto, and at its other end with a FREDERICK E. KOHLER.
