SUSPENDER BUCKLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 390,280, dated October 2, 1888. Application filed December 30, 1887. Serial No. 250,360. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, J. TALMAN BUD1),a citizen of the United States, residing at Buffalo,in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Attachments for Suspenders and other Articles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the 1nvention,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 partof this specification.
My invention relates more particularly to that class of buckles which are provided with teeth or clamping edge for engagement with the webbing or other material; and it consists in certain improvements therein, and also in improved construction in clasp and hanger adapted to cooperate therewith.
I will now proceed to describe the manner in which I have carried out my invention.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front perspec tive of my improved buckle and attachment. Fig. 2 is a rear view of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a vertical central section taken in the line a: a, Fig. 2. Fig. 4. is a front perspective of a modified form of buckle. Fig. 5 is a rear view of Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is a side View of Fig. 4, with buckle shown in open position. Fig. 7 is a front perspective of another modified form of buckle with hanger. Fig. Sis a back view of buckle shown in Fig. 7, and Fig. 9 is a central vertical section of Fig. 8.
Referring to the drawings, a is a front plate or frame having the hanger a at the lower end. The upper edge of the frame is turned inwardly, having a central projecting tongue,a-.
a are teeth or prongs (one or more) formed from the metal of the frame and turned inwardly, as shown.
(0* a are strips at each side of the frame, curved inwardly and downwardly to form the eyes of the hinge.
a a are protecting-flanges turned inwardly from the frame a.
Z) is the back plate of the buckle hinged to the frame a by means of turned-in lugs or pivots b.
b (see Fig. 3) is a slot out in the plate I), the lower edge of which cooperates with the tongue a upon the frame to form a frictionbearing to prevent accidental disengagement of the teeth a from the material which they secure.
If is a recess struck up from the plate 5 across its lower portion to form a receptacle adapted for the reception of the points of the teeth a after they have passed through the material, thus forming a guard for the protection of the person of the wearer and enabling the teeth to be of sufficient length to pass through the material and extend beyond the same, and also forming a support or bearing for the protruding points of the teeth when under strain.
The hanger a is an improvement on that shown in Patents Nos. 355,133 and 355,134, granted to me December 28, 1886. This improvement consists in forming the turned-up or turneddownpoints or ends with the outside surfaces curved or slanted, as at a a, so as to pass easily under the frame of the clasp with which it engages, and having the inside surfaces, o a perpendicular, or nearly so, to guide the hanger along the spring into engagement with the clasp.
The clasp c in Figs. 1, 2, and 3 embodies improvements in the clasps shown in Patent No. 329,434, issued to me November 3, 1885, and No. 352,969, issued to me November 23, 1886. In this clasp 0 is the frame having at one end the bar or bars 0 for attachment to the material. 0 is a spring-strip cut from the frame, having its free end 0 turned inwardly at right angles and playing within the slot 0 of the frame. The slotted end of the frame is bent around, as clearly shown in Fig. 3, thus adapting it to receive and hold the hanger a. At the end of the under part of the frame is the shoulder 0, turned in to meet the turned end 0* of the spring and act in conjunction therewith to prevent the hanger passing under the spring.
In the clasp as originally constructed the shoulder 0 did not exist, and the turned portion 0 of the spring extended to the back of the frame, causing injurious contact with the material. The improved construction just described avoids the difficulty.
The buckle shown in Figs. 4, 5, and 6 is a modification of the buckle previously described, and differs therefrom in that thelever for engaging and disengaging the teeth is upon the opposite side of the material and extends beyond the hinges on the side opposite from the teeth, the webbing passing through the frame a, which is hinged in front of the material at 6, while in the buckle shown in Fig. I
the lever is on the same side of the material and hinges as the teeth. In this construction the strip 1)" is struck up from the frame to form with italoop through which the material, d, passes (see Fig. 6) in order to hold the frame in contact with the material.
Figs. 7, S, and 9 show another modified form of buckle, differing from the one first described in the reversal in position of the frame a and plate I), the top edge of the plate I) with the portion a forming the friction-bearings. The recess Z)", in this instance, is open on the lower side; and it is apparent in lieu of this construction a slot could be formed with one edge of the metal forming a shoulder or bearing for the points of the teeth. The clasp 0 takes the place of the hanger a upon the buckle, the hanger a being separately arranged with supporti1ig-bars,-as shown in Fig. 7. The clasp in this modification differs from that shown in Fig. 3 in that the back of the frame is formed by the metal cut from the slot on which is the shoulder a", as in the other clasp.
The friction-bearing, such as shown in Figs. 1 and 7 at a", operates more particularly to hold the teeth in engagement when the buckle is not under strain. 1
I claim- 1. In a buckle for suspenders and other articles, the combination, with a plate or frame provided with a prong or prongs which extend inwardly and penetrate the material to which the buckle is attached, with their ends protruding beyond the material, of a plate or frame provided with ashoulder or slot which extends across its face to form a space for the reception of the protruding ends of the prong or prongs, the frame of the shoulder or slot forming a rest or support for the same, the two plates being hinged together and one of them provided with a suitable hanger or clasp.
2. In a buckle for suspenders and other articles, the combination, with a plate or frame provided with a prong or prongs which extend inwardly and penetrate the material to which the buckle is attached, with their ends protruding beyond the material, of a plate or frame provided with a recess or slot which extends across its face and has a covering or guard to prevent injury to the person or clothing and which forms a space for the reception of the protruding ends of the prong or prongs, the frame of the recess or slot forming a rest or support for the same, the two plates being hinged together and one of them provided with a suitable hanger or clasp.
