BUTTON. y
Patented Sept. 14, 1886.
Wiz'lzafsei from a uniform to a civilians button, or vice vwhich is immaterial.
Y NITED STATES SELDEN S. GORDON, OF BROOKLYN, NEV YORK.
BUTTON.V
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No, 349,038, dated September 14, 1886.
Application filed January 14, 1886.
T0 all whom, t may concern:
Be it known that I, SELDEN S. GORDON, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain `new and useful Improvements in Changeable Buttons, of which the following is a specification, refcrcnce being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
The principal object of the invention is to provide a button which can be readily changed versa, with the least possible inconvenience to the wearer, and which can be easily cleaned without dangerof soiling the garment.
Another advantage of the invention is that the button is adapted to be sewed to the garment without thc use of theold style of shank, which is objectionable, as is well known.
ln the drawings, Figure 1 is a side or edge view ofthe under button. Fig. 2 is a section of the shell or covering. Fig. 8 shows the under button and the shell united, the shell being in section. Figs. 4 and 5 are respectively a top and a bottom View of the under button. Fig. (3 is a View showing the interior of the shell. i
Similar letters of refercnccindieate similar parts in the respective views.
A is what l.' term the under button, and, which forms the the complete civilians button, although 'it willv be understood that it constitutes only the` under portion of the complete twopart button. B is the outer shell or covering ofthe civilians button. rlhe under button, A, may be made in any ordinary formr and of any material heretofore used in the manufacture of such buttons. The peripheral shape of the upper portion, a, of the under button, A, is preferably that of a truecircle, although its shape may be varied. The lower part, b, (shown in planin Fig. 5,) consists of a series of eccentric surfaces, b', the number of I preferably use three, as shown in the drawings. The upper portion, a, is provided with a series of slots, b, the number of which corresponds with that of the eccentric surfaces b.
The shell B, which is of an ornamental character, and preferably has stamped thereon the initials or other ornamentation required in a uniform-button, is shown fin vertical section in Serial No. 188,563. (No model.)
Figs. 2 and 3. The shell B is preferably provided with an annular lining, c, which inthe manufacture of the shell is placed near its outer periphery, the shell being crimped or bent over it so as to effectually holdit in place.
l do not limit myself to the mode in which the shell and lining are united, as the union may be effected in any manner known to manufacturers. The liningis provided with posts d, the number corresponding with the number of the slots b" and eccentric surfaces b. The posts d are of a length equal to the width of theeccentric surfaces, leaving a shoulder, d', at the top of each post. A lip, d, may be formed, if desired, under each post, for a purpose hereinafter specified, although I do not limit myself to a construction in which the' lip d is included. Supposiug that the shell Bhas been removed from the under button, A, in which case the said under button to change the device into a uniform-button, the shell B is placed over the under button, A, in a position to bring the posts d opposite the slots b ofthe under button.A This allows the shell B to be pushed down over the under button, A. The shoulders d of the posts d having been brought to the lower edge of the part c, the shell may then be partially revolved, so as to canse the posts to move over and bind the eccentric surfaces b', the effect of which is to frictionally hold the two parts of the button together. The frictional contact between the posts and the eccentric surfaces is ordinarily sufficient to maintain a union between the two parts A and B; but asV an additional precalition against loosening,in the event of wear or other causes, the lips d may be provided, which, in connection with the shoulders d of the posts, will prevent the withdrawal of the shell from the under button.
I do not confine myself to the number of eccentric surfaces, or, consequently,to the number of slots in the under button, or to the posts in the shell, the slots and posts agreeing with the number of the eccentric surfaces. Three are preferred; but a single eccentric surface, and a single slot and post would serve to effect a union between the two parts A and B; or the numberof eccentric surfaces, slots, and posts may be greater than three.
Having described my invention, I claim@ IOO l. In a chnngcnbe button, :in under button, A, provided with eccentric frictionai or locking surfaces Z1, and slots b, combined with a shell, B, having` posts d, adapted to lock with thesnid eccentric friction nl oriocking surfaces, substantially as seb forth.
2. In n changeable button, :1. shcii, B, having :L lining, c, and posts d, as described, combined with an under button, A, provided with eccentric frictional or locking Surfaces b :1nd slots b, snhsnntinlly :is set forth.
3. In :L changeable button, the combination cfa shell, I5, having a lining, c, posts d, :ind lips d, combined with an under button, A, hnving eccentric frietionnl orlocking surfaces 15 b and slots L, substantially ns Scl; forth.
In testimony whcrcol' I hereunto Het; my hund :1nd seni.
