FASTENING DEVICE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 433,891, dated August 5, 1890. Application filed April 16, 1890. Serial No. 348,252. (No model.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ALBERT EPPLE, of the city and county of Providence, in the State of Rhode Island, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Fastening Devices for EyeglassIIolders, Scarf-Pins, and other similar Articles; and I declare the following to be a specification thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
Like letters indicate like parts.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of an eyeglassholder having my improved fastening device, the same being shown open for insertion in the cloth. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same closed and in position upon the garment. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of my said invention.
My invention relates to fastening devices for eyeglass-holders, scarf-pins, breast-pins, and other similar articles, and is designed as a substitute for the pin-tongues usually employed in such articles to hold them in position upon a garment.
It consists of a slotted back plate or U- shaped wire loop having a hinge-joint at the upper end and a prong extending from the lower end, in combination with a front plate or loop hinged to the former plate orloop and terminatingin a prong, which extends beyond the hinge, and also provided with a knob at its lower end to engage with the back plate or loop, as hereinafter fully specified.
In the drawings, I represents my invention as applied to an eyeglass-holder. A is the back plate or loop, which may be made of plain stock, which is slotted, or of wire bent into a U-shaped loop. At its lower extremity is a prong 13 extending downward therefrom, as shown. At the upper end is a hinge-joint O of the usual construction. The front loop D is hinged to the back loop A at C. It has a prong E extending beyond the hinge and a knob-like projection F. At the lower end of the loop D is a ring G, to which may be attached the chain or cord of the eyeglass. To fasten this eyeglass-holder upon the garment, I swing outwardly the loop D into a position at a right angle with the loop A and thrust the prong B through the cloth H, as seen in Fig. l. I then close the loop D to the loop A, as shown in Fig. 2. This movement causes the prong E to pass through the cloth II and to extend in a direction nearly opposite to that of the prong B. The knob F springs over the bottom of the loop A by the resilience of the loops and holds them together with suffieient force to constitute it a locking device. The eyeglass-holder is thus snugly secured and confined upon the garment, as illustrated in Fig. 3. To disengage the device, it is simply necessary to draw out the knob F from its engagement in the loop A, by which movement the prong E is withdrawn from the cloth into the position shown in Fig. 1, and the prong B can be then readily withdrawn also. In thus operating the prong E, whether to fasten or unfasten the device, the front loop D serves as a lever and thrusts the prong B through the cloth II with much power, or withdraws it therefrom, whenever desired.
Instead of the loop D, I may adapt this fastening device to a scarf-pin, breast-pin, or
other similar article by substituting for said loop D a front plate of any desired design or ornamentation.
I claim asanovel and usefulinvention and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The improved fastening device for eyeglass-holders, scarf-pins, and similar articles herein described, consisting of a U-shaped wire loop A, having a prong B projecting angularly downward to the rear from the base thereof, the U-shaped wire loop D, hinged at 0 between the arms of the loop A at the top thereof and having the prong E extending from the end of one arm beyond the hinge, and-also the knob F, adapted to spring over the bow of the loop A, all arranged so that the prongs B E are thrust in opposite directions when the loops A D are swung into engagement, substantially as specified.
2. The improved fastening device for eyeglass-holders, scarf-pins, and other similar articles herein described,consist-ing of a back plate having a central opening and a prong at its lower end, in combination with a front plate. hinged to said back plate and having a prong at its upper end projecting beyond the hinge-joint, and a knob adapted to enter and engage with the central opening of the back plate, substantially as specified.
ALBERT EPPLE.
