BUTTON-FASTENER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 395,745, dated January 8, 1889.
Application filed May 21, 1888- Serial No. 274,520. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE II. FOX, a citizen of the United States, residing at Boston, in the county of Suffolk. and State of lllassa chusetts, have invented certain new and use ful Impro vements in Removable Button-Fast eners; and I do hereby declare the follmving to be a full, clear, and exact description. of the invention, 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 ligures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to buttomfasteners, particularly that class which are adapted to be removably employed in securing a button to an article without the aid of a setting-implement, so termed. The fastener is preferably to be used in connection with buttons provided with shank-eyes.
The object of: this invention is to make a cheap fastener, and this is the primary obj cct in constructing the fastener as a dual one. In this way a metallic blank may be used of. very small cross-section, while the requisite strength is provided at the point neededviz., the loop which is adapted to engage the shank-eye of the button.
The drawings represent, in Figure l, a perspective View, Fig. 2 a plan, and Fig. 3 a side elevation, of a button-fastener embodying my invention. Fig. c represents the fastcnm: in engagement with a button. Fig. 5 is a modified form of construction. Fig. 6 represents the blank before being bent upon itself.
The object of my invention is to construct a button-fastener which maybe madeof wire or from a metallic blank of very small area in cross-section. To accomplish this result this fastener A is to be made dual orof two parts, B B, preferably from a continuous wire or metallic blank circular or otherwise in cross-sec tion. Said blank is first cut oil the requisite length, and then two loops, at a, are struck up therefrom. The latter are so located in the blank that the portion l) between said loops, when completed, is about twice the length of the unbent extremities c c of the blank be yond the loops, or thereabout. After said loops are formed, the blank is bent midway upon itself, and by this act of bending, a loop, 0, is created from the portion 1) of the blank. Said loop is contracted at its junction with the loops a a, since the latter are contiguous, and forms a base or support on one side of the loops a a, which now lie in a plane at right angles to that assumed by said loop 0. Co operating therewith upon the opposite sides of said loops a a are the legs or extremities C e of the blank, which are so bentas to diverge from each other, but are located in the same plane with the loop (l, before mentioned. In this manner the lmttomfastener is dual at the point where strength is requiredviz., at the loop T)-which serves to engage the shankeye (I of the button E, and is composed of the loops a c. in alignment with and contiguous one to the other. Moreover, this loop D is steadied, and the device as an entirety rests upon. the material by means of the loop (l on one side and the divergent legs upon the other, which together serve as a base or support to prevent the button fastener from pulling through the fabric. Furthermore, the enlarged end of the loop C and the divergent c c effectually prevent disengagement or unlocking of the fastener and button. In the act of attaching a button the eye of thelatter is pushed through ahole previously cut in the fabric, the divergent ends are brought together and inserted through the shank-eye (l of the button, which latter is slipped along until properly positioned upon the loop D. Said extremities are then released and assume their normal divergent position caused by the inherent elasticity of the metal composing the blank. Thus the button is securely looked upon the fastener, and no accidental disengagement is possible.
This lnitton-fastener is very cheaply made, simple in form, and can be constructed of very thin material, which permits it to fit more closely to the fabric. The ends of the legs 0 0 may be turned up slightly to engage in the material when the fastener is in use.
In Fig. 5 I have shown a fastener, A, of two parts, B 13, identical in construction and shape with the loops a a, aligned and arranged in parallelism contiguous to each other; the legs 0 c are divergent at both ends, while the parts B B are finally united, as shown in said figure by the broken line 2,Whicl1 represents a metallic connection to complete a fastener, A, as an entirety. Furthermore, to present a more finished appearance the extremities are bent toward each other, as shown in 1,2, and 5. By thus curving them inwardly the ends of the legs 0 c are 'n-cvented from catching on material brought in contact with them.
Vhat I desire to claim is- A button-fastener consisting of the open eye D, formed by the dual loops a a and the loop C, co-operating with the legs 0 c, divergent and lying in the same plane With said loop at right angles to the plane of said dual loops a a, substantially as and for purposes specified.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
GEO. H. FOX.
