PIN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 430,903, dated June 24, 1890.

Application filed March 5, 1890. Serial No. 342,701. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, J OSEPH WEIL, of the city, county, and State of New York, a citizen of the United States, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pins, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in pins used on neck-Wear for the purpose of holding the end of the neckband or for other uses.

The object of my invention is to provide a pin of such construction that after having been passed through the edge partof the headpiece it can be sewed on or will remain fixed without being sewed on.

The invention consists in a pin formed of a wire providedtwith a point at one end and at the opposite end with a loop, the free end of the wire at the end of the loop being bent to form a prong that projects in a direction from the point of the pin toward the opposite end, the end of said prong being adjacent to the shank or body of the pin.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a face view of my improved pin, showing the manner in which it is applied on the inner part of the head of the neck-wear. Fig. 2 is a face View of the pin. Fig. 3 is an edge view of the same. Fig. 4 is a face view of a modification. Fig. 5 is an edge view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The pin A is made of wire in the usual manner, and is provided at one end with the point B, and at the opposite end it is bentin the form of an inclined figure 8,the lower upwardly-projecting shankC of which is adjacent to and a short distance to the side of the pin A, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3. The upper end. of said shank C does not project beyond the front and back planes of the pins A-that is to say, if two parallel planes are drawn in such a manner that no part of said pin A projects beyond either of said planes, then the upper end of said shank G will also be between said planes and not project beyond either of them, said planes being indicated by the dotted lines a no in Fig. 3.

The pin A is passed through the fabric D in such a manner that the pointed end projects from the edge, and said pin is forced down until all of the pin up to where it makes the bend a is passed through the fabric. The downwardly-curved part b and the shank C of the loops on the upper end of the pin are on the face of the fabric, and part of the fabric is clamped between the side of the pin. and the upper end of the shank G. Stitches cl, Fig. 1, or other suitable appliances-such as metal fasteners or like devicesare used for holding the two loops on the upper end of the pin to the fabric. be dispensed with, and the pin nevertheless held securely in the fabric and in such a manner that it can neither move up nor down in direction of the length of the pin, for the reason that the downward movement is prevented by the loop a, and the upward movement is prevented by the end of the prong O catching on the fabric, which forms an abutment and prevents forcing the pin upward.

In some cases it is an easy matter to sew on the pin, and as a matter of safety the pin can be secured in this manner; but in many cases, and, in fact, in most cases, it is very difficult to sew on the pin, and in such cases a pin that fastens automatically is of greater service.

Where the pin is to be sewed on, the upper end of the prong 0 need not be at the side of the pin, but can be in front of the pin, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, so that the pin is between two parallel planes, and the upper end of the prong O is between two parallel planes in front of the planes of the pin A. This pin can also be used on and applied to scarfs having shields made of pasteboard or paper and will hold securely on the same.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A pin composed of a single piece of wire provided at one end with a point and bent at the opposite end to form a loop, and a diagonal bar extending across the body of the pin, the free end of that part of the wire forming the bar being bent into a second loop with an upwardlyprojecting prong close to the main stem or body of the pin and parallel with the same, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as myinvention I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

JOSEPH WEIL.
