SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 345,205, dated July 6, 1886.

Application filed April 27, 1886. Serial No. 200,325. (No model.)

T0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE FRENCH Ar- WOOD,a citizen ofthe United States, residing at Swanton in the county ofFranklin and State of Vermont, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Stocking-Fasteners; and I do 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, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figurel of the drawings is 'a representation of this invention, and is a back view. Fig. 2 is a perspective view.

My invention relates to stocking-fasteners; and it consists in the construction and novel combination of parts, as hereinafter described, and pointed out inthe claims.

Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, A designates the frame or body portion of the stockingfastener,which is made from a single piece of wire bent at its middle int-o a form somewhat resembling the letter V. The ends of the arms B O ofthe V are provided with eyes D D` by which the frame or body is to be fastened or secured to the fabric, elastic'or Otherwise, by which the fastener is attached to the clothing of the wearer. The point E of the frame is flattened, and the arms B C of the frame or body portion are provided with bends F and G, which curve outwardly from each other. The inner faces of the arms B G, between the bends F and G and the point of the body or frame, are provided with serrations or teeth H, which e11- gage the fabric of the stocking and hold it, but are not sharp enough to tear or injure the fabric.

upon the fabric, and the teeth will hold it firmly without injuring it. To remove the fabric from the fastener, the slide-bar shouldv be moved toward the bends in the arms,which will permit the arms to spread or expand, so that the fabric may be readily 'removed from the fastener. f

Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

1. The combination, with the frame having the eyes at the ends of its arms for attachment, the Outward bends intermediate of the eyes and point, and the interlocking teeth, of the slide-bar between the eyes and bends of the arms, substantially as specified.

2. The combination, with the frame having the eyes at the ends of its arms for attachment and the outward bends intermediate of the eyes and point, of the slide-bar between the eyes and bends of the arms, substantially as speci fied.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

GEORGE FRENCH ATWOOD.
