W. P. PATTON. CARPET NAIL 0R TACK.
Patented May 19, 1863.
R a MRRN w UNrT D STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM P. PATTON, OE HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVED CARPET NAIL OR. TACK.
, I Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 38,598, dated May 19, 1863.
To qilllwhom it ntay concern:
Be itk-uown that I, WiL'LIAM P. PATTON, of
the city of Harrisburg, county of Dauphin, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a' certain new and useful I mprovementin Carpet- Tacks} and I do hereby declare that the fol-.
lowing is afull, clear, and exact description of the same reference being had to the accompanying rawin gs, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
The nature of my.invention consists in the peculiar construction of this carpet-tack,it bein gformetkot or'cut or stamped out of sheet metal in'the manner hereinafter set forth.
In the annexed drawings, making a part of this specificatiomA, Figure 1, represents the head of the tack. 'It is made of Russia-iron,
"brass, or other suitable metahalld is given an oval or other shape, as best suitsthctaste of the constructer.
The essential feature of the invention con.- sists in stamping, forming, or cutting the V- shaped tongue or shank B, Figs. 3 and 2, from and of a portion of the disk or head A. This shank answers for the body of the tack, and V,
isintended to be cut or formed (by suitable machinery) at the same time the disk'or head Ais'cut from the sheet of metal. Said shank Bis turned down from the head A at a right angle to it by the same punch that cuts its V-sides loose from the disk or head A. This operation is intended to be conducted in such anianner that the part b, that forms the base of the V-sh aped shank 13, shall not be injured by the cutting-tool, but shall serve to hold the said shank in connection with the -head or 'disk A.
This leaves a hole in the disk or head of a size corresponding to the size of the shank.
lIav-ing thus given a full, clear, and exact description of my invention, the method of operating or applying the same is self-evident,
- the said tacks or nails being driven in place in the same manner as the ordinary carpettack. The peculiar adrantages to-be'derivcd.
' by this methodof constructing carpet-tacks are as follows: 4
First. The broad disk orhead of the tack obviates the use of a leather washer, and answers a better purpose,=as it perfectly -pre-. vents the tack from penetrating, or, rather, on tting through 'the binding of the carpet, as the ordinary leathered tack will dowhen there is a heavy strain upon it, This feature renders it very valuable when it is necessary to. in-
stantly remote the carpet from the floor, as in case of fire, it being readily accomplished by.
a simple pull'or draft upon the carpet inv an upward or perpendicular line with the shank of the tack, the broad head having suflicient bearing upon the binding of the carpet to prerent it from tearing or pulling through the same. v 4
Second. Fronnthe peculiar method of constructing, this tack or nail. a better material can be economically used in making it thah is 'or can be used inth'e ordinary tack, thus producing a'more durable and lasting article,
as they can be taken from the carpet and reused several times before they are worn out. Third. They are more easily applied, and
present a more neat and elegant finish when and desire to secure by Letterslatent of the 'United States, is-- The constructing-of carpet-tacks of sheet metal substantially in the manner herein set forthand described. s
