BUTTON-FASTEN ER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 393,740, dated December 4, 1888.
Application filed 1.1 m 13, 1838. Serial No. 282,673. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, EMBURY P. CLARK and NATHAN D. INGRAHAM, 0t l-lolyoke, in the county of Hampden and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have invented a new and use-.
ful Improvement in Button Fasteners, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part thereof.
Our invention relates to devices for securing buttons to garments without the use of thread, and has for its object to provide a combined button and fastener,which will possess great strength and durability,which will be sufliciently flexible to prevent inconvenience to the wearer of the garmentto which it is secured, and which can be quickly and conveniently applied to the garment without defacing the latter. 1
To this end our invention consists in afastener comprising a bar or rod composed of twisted strands of wire, which bar or rod receives the stem of the button, and which has connected to one of its ends a-pin, the pointed end of which is adapted to be received within a clasp at the opposite end of said bar or rod, as hereinafter fully described, an d particularly pointed out in theclaims.
"Referring to the drawings, in which like parts are designated by like letters in the several figures, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the combined button and fastener. Fig. 2 is a view in perspective of the fastener and button separated from each other. Fig. 3 is a similar view of a slightly-modiiied form of the fastener.
The letter a. designates the bar or rod cont. posing the body portion of the fastener, which is preferably bent back upon itself at one end, as shown, to form a loop to receive the edge of the garment, and terminates at said end in a clasp, a. At its opposite end said bar is provided with a bearing in which is pivoted a double-pronged pin, 1).
The bar a is composed of strands of wire twisted closely together, and we prefer to form the bar, clasp a, and the bearing for pin 1) from a single piece of wire, as follows: A piece of wire of suitable length is bent at each side of its middle point to form the small loops 1 2, thus leaving the straight por-' tion 3 between said loops,when the two strands of the wire are again bent into substantially an S shape and at substantially a right angle to loops 1 2, as shown at +1. 1, after which said strands are closely twisted together until the point where it is desired to attach the button is reached, as at 5, at which point said strands are bent around the stem of the button 0 in such manner as to receive said stem between them ,and from this point the strands are again closely twisted about each other until the end of the bar is reached,where they are bent to form loops 6 6, slightly separated from each other,as shown,to form the bearing for pin b. The end of the bar containing the clasp is then. bent back upon itself, as shown, pin 1) is insertedwithin loops 6 6, and the operation is completed. The button c is preferably formed with an annular groove near the outer end of its stem to receive the two strands of wire, and said strands being closely twisted together upon each side of the button the latter is securely held upon the bar and cannot become loosened by wear. Pin b at its rear end is preferably bent twice at aright angle, whereby space is afforded between its prongs and. thebar for the fabric, when applied to a garment. Said pin will have the pointed ends of its prongs normally spread apart at such a distance that when said ends are compressed to cause them to enter the clasp their elasticity will retain them therein.
In the preferred form of the invention, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the opening between loops 1 2 to admit the ends of the pin to said loops is upon the rear side of the clasp, or the side farthest away from the button, and when thus constructed the ends of the pin can be readily caused to enter the clasp by slightly compressing the prongs toward each other and moving them toward the button until their free ends are brought-into contact with the straight portion 3 of the clasp, when by permitting them. to expand said ends will enter loops 1 2 and be retained therein. The points of the prongs are effectually guarded by the S-shaped portions 4 4 of the clasp, so that they cannot injure the person when applied to a garment.
In the form of the invention shown in Fig. 3 the opening in the clasp between loops 1 2 is n )0!) the inner side thereof and the )ron 's eeived within the bend in thebar bet ween the 1 llaving thus fully described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The button fastener herein described, consisting of a bar or rod composed of a plurality of strands of wire. twisted together, said bar or rod having at its tn )osite ends rebutton and the clasp, after which the ends of i the prongs are compressed, as previously del scribed, and seated within loops 1 2 of the plied to a garment a clear space between the greater portion of the head of the button and ton to be passed through a button-hide much more easily than is the case in bt'ttton-fastenspeetively, a pin, amt av clasp to receive the end of said pin, and having a button secured thereto between its ends, substantially as set forth.
2. The button-fastener herein described,
consistingot' a button and a fastening device, to which said button is secured, said fastening device consist ing of a baror rod composed clasp. It will be observed that when thus apof two strands of wire twisted closely together, terminating at one end in a two-pronged pin and at. its opposite end in a clasp to receive the fabric is afforded, which enables the but- 1 ers in which the button is secured to a metallie plate equal in width to the diameter of the 1 head of the button. This result is still further facilitated by the fact that, the bar (I being substantially round in cross-section, the button is permitted to have a slight rocking movement with said bar. The twisted-wire not ineonunode the wearer, as do those in which a metallic plate is employed, especially when worn upon pantaloons.
of the fastener with the particular kind of button herein shown, as the same result could be secured by passing one of the strands of the wire composing the bar through the loop the ends of the prongs of said pin, substantially as described.
3;. The button-fastener herein described, consisting of bar (I and clasp u, composed of a continuous piece of wire, button c, secured to said bar, and pin 1/, pivotally connected to said bar, substantially as described.
t. The buttonfastener herein described,
consisting of a continuous piece of wire bent I upon each side of the middle portion, :3, therebar, moreover, is tnore or less tlexible and. does of to form loops 1 2, S-shaped loops 4 4, loop 1 5, and loops ti ti at the ends of said wire, the
two st rauds of said wire being closely twisted together between loops l 4- and loop 5, and also '0 do not wish to limit ourselves to the use of the ordinary shank-button, where it. would be securely held by the twisted strands upon each side thereof.
Thebtttton-fastenerherein described is simple and inexpensive in construction, and yet very strong and durable, besides possessing thespeeial atlvantageshereinl)eforedeserilted.
between the latter and loops ti 6, button 0, having its stem located within loop 5, and pill I), mounted in loops (1 ti, substantially as set forth.
