BRUNO VON BIILTZINGSLOIVEN AND MENDEL HOIVARD, OF NEIV YORK, N. Y.; SAID VON B'ULTZINGSLUWVEN ASSIGNOR TO SAID HOIVARD.

BROOCH-PIN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 402,701, dated. May '7', 1889.

Application filed October 11, 1888. Serial No. 287,832. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that we, BRUNO VON BtiLrzINGsLowEN, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, and MENDEL HOWARD, a citizen of the United States, both residing at the city of New York, county of New York, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Brooch-Pins, of which the following is a specification.

The object of the invention is to produce an improved brooch-pin which can be easily attached to and detached from the garments of the wearer.

The nature of the invention consists in the details of combination and construction, substantially as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, hereinafter described, and subsequently pointed out in the claim.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the back part of a brooch with our invention attached. Figs. 2 and 3 are sectional views of different modifications of the mounting-plate of the same. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the back of a brooch with a part of our invention attached, but without the needles. Fig. 5 is an edge View of the same with the needles pressed in. Fig. 6 is a sectional view of the same with the needles pressed in. Fig. 7 is a sectional view of the same with the needles drawn out. Fig. 8 is a back view of another modification of our invention, but without the needles. Fig. 9 is an edge view of the same with the needles pressed in. Fig. 10 is a sectional view of the same. Fig. 11 is a sectional view of another modification of our invention. Fig. 12 is a detail View of the needles. Fig. 13 is a partly-sectional view of still another modification of our invention.

The brooch is formed so that a tube, G, extends across the back. This may either be swaged in the mounting-plate A, as illustrated in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, or fastened thereon. This tube 0 may be formed so as to stand on either side of the mounting-plate, as illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3; or this tube may be fastened to the mounting-plate with clips, as illustrated in Fig. 4, or with a bar, as illustrated in Fig. 8.

In every case cars (designated by B and B) are formed upon or mounted on the mounting-plate or the tube. In these are two holes, g and Z. The holes Z are opposite the axis of the tube 0, at each end thereof, and the holes 9 are a little above the said tube, at the ends thereof.

In Fig. 12 is illustrated the needle of this brooch. It is made of wire of suitable thickness bent with an eye at Z) and two nearly parallel arms, or and n. The arm n is curved a little to the arm n and has a sharp point. The arm 12 passes through the hole g and over the tube 0. The arm it passes through the hole Z and into the tube 0. WVithin the tube 0 is a helical spring designated in the different figures as f, f, and f" In Figs. 6 and 7 this spring is designated by f and illustrated as being coiled around the arm n of the needle and as resting with one end on the pin-head end of the arm n and the other end upon the ear B. In Figs. 10, 11, and 13 this spring (designated by f and f is illustrated as being between the ends of the arms n and attached to them. In Fig. 13 this is illustrated as being accomplished by means of rings on the ends of the said arms, which rings are designated by e. In this case also the tendency of the spring is to constantly draw the pins in, so that they will, when free, be constantly held in.

To use this brooch, the back side thereof is placed against the garment to which it is to be attached. Then the operator, taking hold of the eyes 1), draws out the needles, and as he presses the brooch gently against the garment lets the needles go. Immediately the needles spring back into their original position, and the arms n, running into the garment, hold the brooch firmly in position. By drawing out the needles, as before described, the brooch is released from the garment.

Except as herein described, this brooch is constructed and used in the common and wellknown way.

WVhat we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, with the mounting-plate of a brooch, a tube upon and extending across said mounting-plate parallel thereto, and ears upon said mounting-plate at either end of said tube, of needles havingtwo arms,

substantially as specified, two of said arms substantially as and for the purpose set passing through said ears and into said tube, forth. one on either side of said brooch, the other In witness whereof we hereunto set our arms of said needles passing through said hands in presence of two witnesses.

5 ears, one on either side of said brooch, Y T T outside of said tube, extending toward the E E%% middle thereof and nearly parallel thereto, l and a spring within said tube, so connected \Vitnesses: with said needles that it draws said needles WVILLIAM RANNEY,
