SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 349,453, dated September 21, 1886.

Application filed June 29, 1886. Serial No. 206,651. (No model.)

To-aZZ wwm it may concern:

Be it known that I, FIERRE ALBERT RAY- iIoND, of Grenoble,.in the Republic of France, have invented a new and Improved Spring- Button, of which the followingis a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to the constructionl of a novel form of spring-button, the object of the invention being to so form and proportion the various parts that when the button is applied for use its appearance willnot differ materially from that of an ordinary button, vand although the invention is applicable to buttons that are to be used in many ways, it is more especially designed for use as a glovefastener.

Referenceis to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar figures of' reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure lis an enlarged view of my improved form of button or fastener, the upper portion or socket being shown in section,in order that the arrangement of the parts may be better shown,and the sustaining material being shown in section in connection with the lower as well as with the upper portion of the but-ton. Fig. 2 is a central vertical sectional view of the stud or spring-button proper, the socket being removed. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the stud or spring-button. Fig. 4.- is an inverted plan view of the socket, and Fig. 5 is a plan view of the blank from which the spring-cap surrounding the head of the stud isformed.

In constructing the button forming the sub` ject-matter of this application, I punch out blanks 10, of the form shown in Fig. 5, and these blanks I press to the form shown best in Figs. 1 and 2-that is, so that each of the arms 11 of the blank will bend downward and outward, and then inward to the point 2, from which point lcach arm is bent outward to produce a flange, as 3, all of the said flanges being in the same plane. In this way I form a spring-cap, 20, which fits over an inner supporting-dome, 21, formed with an extending flange, 4, upon which the flanges 3 of the arms 11 rest. The dome 21 rests upon the ange 5 of a collar, 22, and the flanges 8, 4., and 5 are firmly clamped together by a doubly-liangcd collar or ring, 30, that is placed and arranged as best shown in Fig. 2. In order that this springstud may be secured to the material in connection with which the fastener is to be employed, it is necessary that a small hole should be punctured in said material, said hole, however, being large enough to admit of' the passage of the collar 22,the main body of which at this time is tubular. After the collar 22 has been passed through .the material 40, so 6o that the lower flange of-the doubly-anged ring or collar 30 rests against the outer face of the fabric or supporting material, a concavoconvex ring, 41, is placed about the collar 22. The lower edge of said collar is then bent outward, so as to embrace the under inner surface of the concavo-convex ring, this bending out being accomplished by any of the ordinary forms of eyeleting devices. It will be noticed that the side walls of' the dome 21 are substan- 7o tially vertical, While the Walls of the cap 20 are curved, so that although the cap touches the apex of the dome, and yalso touches the dome at the points 2, still there will be quite a space between the dome and the cap midway between the points named.

In connection with such a spring-stud as I have just described, I preferably employ such a socket as the one illustrated in cross-section in Fig. l, and in inverted plan view in Fig. 4-that is, I provide an outer cap, 50, formed with a downwardly-extending flange, 51, and closely within this/flange 5l I fit a doublyflanged ring, 52, the two flanges of which are vertical, the lower edge of the flange 5l of the cap 50 being clamped in under the ring 52, as clearly shown in Fig. l. Between the top of the cap 50 and the upper edge' of'- the inner fiange ofthe ring 52 I insert the upper flange of an eyelet or central collar, 60, which, when the cap is to be secured to the supporting material or fabric, is passed through an aperture or opening formedin said fabric or material, the fabric being pressed close against the lower face of the ring 52. The concavo-convex ring 7 0 is then placed in the position shownthat is, against the under side of the material 80 and the lower edge of' the collar 60 is bent outward, as above described in connection with the ring 41 and the collar 22.

As before stated, although this button or fastener may be applied for'use in many Ways, v

ICO,

itis designed more especially for use as a glovefastener, the parts being applied upon the opposite lapels of the glove, and when 'it is desired to fasten the glove the spring-stud is inserted within the socket formed by the collar 60, and the parts are pressed together to the position in which they are shown in Fig. 1; and it will be found that not only may gloves be quickly fastened when provided with such an attachment as I have described, but that having been once fastened upon the hand there is little or no liability of the accidental disconnection of the parts.

Although I have described myinvcntiou as being used in connection with such a socket as the one illustrated in Fig. l-that is, with a socket provided with an inclosing-cap-it 'will of course be seen that in certain cases a simple eyelet would answer my purpose equally well.

Having thus fully described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- V 1. The combination, with an eyelet or socket, substantially as described, of a spring-cap supported by a dome and a clamping eyclet or collar, the parts named being clamped together by a doubly-anged ring or collar, 30, substantially as described..

2. The combination, With a socket consisting of a cap, 50, formed with ailange, 51, a doubly-flanged ring, 52, a central tubular eyelet, 60, and a concavo-convex ring, 70, of a spring-stud consisting of the spring-cap 20, formed With flanges 3, a doni-e, 21, a collar or eyelet, 22,aclampingcollar, 30, and a concavoconvex ring, 41, substantially as described.

3. A fastener or button consisting of a dome surrounded by aspring-cap made from ablank, 10, the dome and cap being arranged for at tachxnent to the supporting material, in combination with an eyelet or socket, substantially as described.
