BUTTON-ATTACHKING MACHINE.

SPECIPICATION forining part of Letters, Patent No. 376,971, dated January 24, 1888. 7

Serial No. 242, 17. (No model) v 1 Application filed June 24, 1887.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRISON TONE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Denison, in the county of Grayson and State of Texas, have in vented certain new and useful Improvements in Button-Setting Machines, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification, reference being had to the drawings, forming part thereof, in which--' Figure 1 is aside view of my improved device. Fig. 2 is a topplan view of the die. Fig.3 is a cross-section on line as m, Fig. 2, showing the button in position ready to be secured to the fabric. Fig. 4 is a similar view showing thebuttonsecured to the fabric. Fig. 5 is a View showing front and rear of button with the staple in place. Fig. 6 is a View of the staple. Fig. 7 shows the forms of the staple after same has been pressed through the" fabric, &c., and Fig. 8 is a view of a'modification hereinafter referred to.

The object of the invention is to providea machine for securing the ordinary four-holed metal button to pants; and the invention consists in the construction and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

A represents the die, which is provided with an upward-projecting flange, B, around its outer edge,andwith a central projection; Qhaving two parallel oblique-curved recesses,

D. The die, is mounted on asuitable base, E, having upward-projecting ears F, between which the rear end of the pivoted arm G is.

, thrown back, as shown in Fig.1, a staple is placed in thelower end of the guide H, and a button, K, is laid face down upon the die, the

projection 0 extending into the concavity of the button. The article to which the button is to be secured is brought over the button, the arm G is turned down, and a washer having two apertures is placed upon the lower ends of the staple. A sharp blow is now given the plunger J, which will force the staple through the goods and two oppositeholes of the button, when the ends of the staple will 5 that the points of the staple may strike theopposite ends thereof.

It is manifest that the machine may be made *with afixed arm, G, or in the form of a hand implement, as showninFig. 8, where the parts are the same as in Fig. 1, except that the die, tubular guide, and its anvil or punch are secured at the outer endsof the two pivoted hand-levers,which serve as a base and a hinged I arm, respectively.

In practice several sizes of the'die may be Y provided, so that different sizes of buttons may be operated upon. Instead of a continuous material to which the buttons are to be seen red is very strong. o I a Having thusd'escribedmyinvention, what I claim; as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a machi combination, with the plunger, of the-die below the same, having oblique parallel curved recesses in its upper face, substantial] y as set forth.

I flange, B, a series ofproj ections may be formed, if desired. In so'meinstan'ces the washer may. be dispensedwith as, for. instance, when the he for attaching buttons, the 5 2. In a button-settingmachine, the diehav- .90 .tral oblique parallel curved recesses therein,
