BUTTON-FASTEN ER FO R G LOVES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 431,340, dated July .1, 1890. Application filed March 31, 1890- Serial No. 346,040. (No model.) Patented in England September 4, 1889, No. 13,954.

.To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, EDWARD FISHER, a sub- Ject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at 101 and 102 \Vood Street, in the city of London, England, have invented a new and useful Improved Construction of Button-Fasteners for Gloves, (patented in Great Britain, No. 13,954, dated September 1t, 1889,) of which the following is a specification.

This invention has for its object to provide a novel, strong, and durable button-fastener for gloves; and it consists in the features of construction and the combination or arrangement of devices, hereinafterdescribed and claimed, reference being made to the accompanyin g drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a section of the cap A Fig. 2, a section of the cap core or liner B; Fig. 3, a section of crown C with eyelet-ring C; Fig. 4, a section of fastening-ring D; Fig. 5, a section of all the above parts in the respective positions they occupy when secured to the fabric E of a glove and constitute the appliance for going over or of being forced over the usual and well-known split stud or bulb F, with wings G G, of which Fig. 6 is a side elevation and Fig. 7 a plan. Fig.8 shows a broad ring II with two segmental-shaped lugs I I. Fig. 9 is a sectional elevation of those appliances, showing the respective positions they occupy when secured to the outer portion of a glove, a fastening-ring corresponding to that shown at Fig. 4 being used on the inner face of the glove-leather J to fix the appliance to the outside of the leather. Fig. 10 represents the inner face of the fastener-ring D and the washer or disk 11, hav

ing the segmental-shaped lugs I I pressed down upon the ring D.

According to the annexed drawings the glove-fastener is of circular form; but the cap Aand cap core or liner B may be of oval or elliptical shape, and the bulb F, which is also shown of circular shape, may, by pressing the half-cups farther apart, be of oval shape to correspond to that of the cap and of the crown C, the lower part 0' of which constitutes the eyelet. Again, the stud F may be stamped or pressed with a circular bulbous head, or it may have straight vertical exterior with slits,

so that the weakenedside would yield to the strain of the eyelet when passed over the head of the stud, and, if desired, the cap core or liner B may be of a shape other than circular.

It will be observed by the foregoing description and by the annexed drawings that the cap and eyelet portion of my glove-fastener is composed of three pieces of metal shaped to fit within or upon each other by simply placing B into C and by burring the edge A of the piece A over the edge of C; also, that the stud or bulb portion is composed of two pieces of metal, of which by a burring of the edge of the washer or disk H over the edges of the wings G G they are attached.

In both of the above combinations it is only necessary to use a ring or washer D over the tubular part 0 of O and another over the segmental lugs I I after those parts have been pushed through the holes prepared for them in the wrist portion of a glove, and then by pressure swaging the projecting ends of C and I I outward and down upon the washers D D.

It will be observed that the core-liner B is cup-shaped, and is formed integral with an upwardly projecting inclined and splayed Wall E, the edge of which when in place bears against the corner or bend A of the turned-down flange A of the cap A, while the center cup portion of the core-liner is in contact with the center of the cap, thereby supporting and imparting solidity to the cap at the points or parts most likely to be injured and rendered unsightly by indentations, this liability arising from the extreme thinness of the metal forming the cap, which necessitates an unyielding and rigid internal central resisting-piece.

The construction of the cup-shaped coreliner B, with its splayed annular wall 13', is important in connection with the verticallyextending wall of the crown-piece O,for when the cap is placed in position and the cramping-tool is applied to the flange A the initial part of the compression forms an annular shoulder in the wall of the crown-piece O, and an increase of the cramping action forces such wall still farther inward until the pressure is exerted upon the splayed wall Bof the coreliner B at a point between the shoulder alluded to and the neck 0 of the eyelet.

WVhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A button-fastener consisting of a split elastic head F, formed integral with a pair of lateral wings G, the Washer or disk II, formed with a pair of segmental lugs I, between which said Wings pass, and having its edge spun around beneath the end portions of the wings, the ring or washer D, on which the extremities of the segmental lugs are turned, and an eyelet for engaging over the split elastic head, substantially as shown and described.

2. A button-fastener consisting of an elastic head F, and an eyelet for engaging the head, composed of the flanged cap A, the hollow crown-piece C, having the neck C, a

washer D, engaged by the neck, and the un- 20 substantially as and for the purposes described.

In witness whereof I have hereto signed my name, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 12th day of March, 1890.

EDWVARD FISHER. Witnesses:
