FASTENER FOR SHOES, 81.0.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 337,783, dated March 9, 1.886.
Application filed November 4, 1885. Serial No. 181,829. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, AUGUST Nor/rm, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dundee, in the county of Kane and State of Illinois,
have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fasteners for Shoes and other Articles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a 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.
My invention has reference to fasteners for boots or shoes, gloves, and other articles requiring a fastener, and has for its object to [5 provide a fastener simple and cheap of construction, strong and durable in use, easy and quick of application, and by means of which the article to be fastened can be quickly and nicely adjusted to the varying proportions of the object to which the article is fitted; and to the foregoing ends the invention consists in the construction and the combination of parts hereinafter particularly described, and then pointed out in the claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective of a shoe with my invention applied thereto; Fig. 2, a cross-see tion through the upper portion of a part of 0 the same; Fig. 3, a similar section on a lower plane; Figs. 4 and 5, details of the fasteners detached from the shoe.
In the drawings, the letter A designates a bridge or raised bar,provided,preferably,with prongs B, by means of which the fastener can be sewed to the shoe or other article. To the bridge or raised bar there is fitted a slide, 0, composed, preferably, of two ears, a, fitting on opposite sides of the bridge-bar, and a cross- 0 bar, 1), connecting the two ears, and fitting under the bridge-bar. To these cars, and fitting between them,is pivoted or fulcrumed a fingerlever, D, having an eccentric face, 0, which bears against the top face of the bridge-bar 5 when the lever is turned down, and locks the lever in its turned-down or fastening position. This lever, by reason of being secured to the slide 0, can be moved to any point along the length of the bridge-bar, so as to be locked thereto atits adjusted position to hold the parts to be fastened at the desired place.
The slide may be formed with a notch or hook, (I, on its cam-face, for a purpose hereinafter appearing.
The fastening, constructed as described, is secured by means of the prongs to the article to be fastenedfor instance, to the shoe E, on the side where the buttons are usual ly secured. Preferably the fasteners are applied so that the levers of some of them will extend in one direction, and of others in the opposite direc tion, when turned down to lock the parts together. At those points where levers are applied so as to extend across the edge of the lapping portion of the shoe or other article-for 6 instance, at ethe levers employed need not be formed with notches or hooks (I, because the arm of the lever itself will prevent the possibility ofthe lapped portion having the buttonhole from slipping over the lever; but at the c points where the linger-levers areapplied in the opposite direction-that is, away or inwardly from the lapping edge, as at Fthe notch or hook should be used, because otherwise the lapping portion with the button-hole might slip over the slide and along the lever-arm, so as to disengage or unfasten the parts. The notch or book is therefore used at such points, so that the edge of the lapping portionforniing the wall of the button-hole may fit in the notch under the hook of the slide, and thus the lapping portion by the hook be prevented from slipping over the arm of the lever. If desired, however, the fast-enings may be all alike, and applied so that all the levers will extend in the 8 5 same direction.
The fastenings being constructed and applied as described, the operation of fastening the parts is as follows: The lever is first passed through the button-hole, and then slipped 0 along the bridge-bar until the lapping parts or flaps are drawn as tight and closely-fitting as desired. The lever is then turned over, so
as to bring its cam or eccentric face against the top face of the bridge or raised bar, against 5 which it bites, so as to lock the lever to the bar, and thus secures the flaps or lapping portions at the desired points of adjustment.
means of theseslidi ng eccentric levers the shoe or other article can be adjusted to the foot or other object, so as to conform to the varying size of the object, and thus make all parts fit snugly, neatly, and With ease. The parts can also be adjusted to compensate for the stretching or enlargement of the article resulting from wear without necessitating the removal and replacing of the fasteningsto accomplish that end.
The fastenings can be applied to shoesgloves, and any other article Where such fastenings can be used, and can be made of any size and varying proportions to be suitable to thearticle it is used on. Obvious changes in the several parts are also embraced within the scope of my invention.
Having described my invention and set forth its merits, what I claim isy 1. A fastening comprising a base having an elevated bar, a slide to move along said bar, and a cam-lever fulcrumed to said slide and adapted to be locked at any desired point on said bar, substantially as and for the purposes described.
2. The fastening composed of the raised bar, the eccentric lever, and the slide formed with a notch or hook, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses. 7
