GARMENT SUPPORTEl-lp SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 392,042, dated October 30, 1888.
Applicalion filed May 10, 1888. Serial No. 273,395.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN P. LINDSAY, a citi zen of the United States, residing at \Vest Derby, in the county of Orleans and State of Vermont. have invented a new and useful Improvementin GarmentSupporters, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to improvements in garment-supporters in which the fabric is clamped around a stud.
Heretofore garment-supporters have been constructed with a portion having a headed stud adapted to receive the fabric, which is secured by passing the stud and the fabric through an enlarged opening in another portion of the clasp, then down into asmaller opening, where they are retained. This manner of securing the fabric is objectionable, inasmuch as it requires many motions to adjust it, and when adjusted there is always a liability of its slipping, the fabric being clamped only on the under side of the stud.
The object of this invention is to obviate these objections and provide a clasp of simple and uncomplicated construction, in which the operation of clamping is performed by direct action of the clamping portion, insuring quickness and convenience, and in which the fabric is clamped on all sides of the stud by a broad bearing-surface, which sccurelyholds and prevents it becoming injured or torn; and, furthermore, the object of the invention is to provide a clasp for garment-supporters that will adapt itself perfect] y to the various thicknesses of fabrics.
' The invention consists in the novel combination and arrangement of the parts herein" after fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended.
In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, and in which like letters of reference designate corresponding parts, Figure l is a perspective of a clasp constructed in accordance with this invention, illustrating the device preparatory to clamping a garment, the swinging and clamping jaws resting on the head of the stud. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective View of one of the jaws, showing the tapering stud and the spring that is preferably formed integral with the jaw. Fig. 3 is avertical longitudinal sectional View of the clasp (Xe model.)
illustrated in Fig. 1, showing the taperi-ngstud on one of the jaws and the eye or opening having the outwardturned edges of the other jaw.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, A designates a clasp constructed of suitable material, preferably of sheet metal, and consisting of a fixed jaw, A, provided with a stud, a, and a swinging and clamping jaw, A having an eye or opening, a, formed in it, the two jaws A and A being hinged together at their upper ends by a pintle, whereby,when the fabric is placed on the stud between the same and the clamping-jaw,it will be clamped upon all sides by the direct downward action of the swinging clamping-jaw A The studa is constructed tapering, the smallest portion being at the end where it meets the eye or opening a of the swingingand clamping jaw A and the edge of the eye or opening is turned outward and is flaring, and the eye or opening a is largest at the point where it meets the stud a. By this construction the clasp will perfectly adapt itself to the variations in thickness of the fabrics to be clamped. The thinner the fabric, the farther down on the stud the swinging and clamping jaw will slip to hold said fabric, and the fabric will be securely held without liability of becoming injured from sharp edges or curvatures, it being clamped around the stud upon all sides and especially at the top, where the most secure hold can be obtained by a broad bearing-surface.
The fixed jaw A, which is constructed of 85 I sheet metal, has formed in it or attached to it a spring, a", against which bears a heel, a, formed in the upper portion of the swinging and clamping jaw A1.- The heel 0; contacts with the spring a when the swinging and clamping jaw A is raised from the stud a, and is forced by the spring in the direction of the stud (t. hen the swinging and clamping jaw reaches the head of the stud a, the heel a is.
raised from the spring a, whereby the swinging and clamping jaw is caused to remain in" active at the end of the stud without exerting spring-pressure on the stud.
The device is secured to the webbing or band B of the garnicntsupporter by turning the lower end of the fixed jaw A over the webbing or band B and by passing the webbing or band B through slots at at the top of the fixed jaw. By securing the device in this manner and passing the band or webbing up the back the metal is prevented coming in contact with the flesh, and. the necessity of sewing or riveting thehdevice to the band or webbing is dispensed wit From the foregoing description and the accompanying drawings the construction, operation, and advantages of the invention will readily be understood, and it will clearly be seen that clasps constructedin accordance with this invention are of cheap and uncomplicated construction; that they will firmly clasp the fabric upon all sides of the stud by the direct action of the clamping-jaw, and that they will securely retain the fabric when clamped without liability of injuring it, and will also readily adapt themselves to the varying thickness of fabrics.
Having described my invention, I claim- 1. A clasp for garment-supporters, consisting of two jaws hinged together, one provided with a stud and a spring and the other having an eye or opening and a heel located above and out of contact with the spring, said heel being adapted to engage the spring when the jaw leaves the head of the stud, whereby the jaw is forced in the direction of the stud, but
allowed to rest thereon without the exertion of spring-pressure, substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. A clasp for garment-supporters, consisting of a fixed jaw provided with a tapering stud and a swinging and clamping jaw hinged to the fixed jaw and having an eye or opening formed in it with outward-turned edges to form a broad bearing-surface, whereby the clasp will readily adapt itself to the various thicknesses of fabrics, substantially as described.
3. A clasp for garment-supporters, consisting of a fixed jaw provided with a taperingstud, a swinging and clamping jaw hinged to the fixed jaw and having an eye or opening with outward-turned edges to form a broad bearing-surface, and a spring integral with one of the jaws, substantially as and for the purpose described.
In testimony thatI claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto aflixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JOHN P. LINDSAY.
