UNITED STATES PATENT FFICE.
JOSEPH C. F. DICK, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
BUTTONFASTENER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 443,669, dated. December 30, 1890. Application filed May 9, 1890. Serial No. 351,154. (No model-l T0 ctZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH C. F. DICK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Button-Fasteners, of which. the following is a specification.
My invention relates to the means for fastening buttons in place, and comprises an eye on a stem embedded in the button to extend therefrom, and having looped through it a staple to be passed through and clamped on the shoe or other article.
The object of my improvement is to provide the buttons and their staples to the trade in a permanently-conneoted form, which shall avoid the necessity for the user to first loop the staples into the button-eyes before fastening the buttons on the shoe; and to this end it is further my object to provide a form of retaining means for producing the desired permanent connection between and preventing separation of the button and its staplefastener which shall not impair the strength of the staple nor increase the difficulty of its manufacture, nor which will in the least interfere with its being neatly applied to the shoe.
1n the accompanying drawing my improved permanentlycombined button and staplefastener is shown in its preferred form in elevation.
A is the button, provided with the form of eye 0* illustrated, or with any other suitable or common form thereof.
13 is the staple, which may be of the form presented, involving a crown to be looped, as shown, through the button-eye, or any other form, thus including the plain staple or that comprising simply a length of wire bent upon itself between the extremities to form connected shanks. "hen the staple has been looped through the button-eye 1', I bend about the crown below the button-eye, as shown, (or around the shanks of the plain form of staple referred to,) a suitable length of fine wire to, which prevents separation of the button and its staple-fastener, and thus permanently connects them. I find that the desired permanency of the wire 20 in its place is attained by employing a sufficient length thereof to extend but once around the staple (or crown) when bent upon it for the purpose, and that thereby adequate security is afforded it in the position of the application on the staple without twisting the ends together or otherwise fastening them.
The construction thus described enables buttons and their fastening-staples to be provided in permanently connected form by simple and effective means to the trade, and their application by the users without entailing upon the latter the performance of the arduous, somewhat difficult, and annoying feat of first adjusting the button and staple together; and, besides, it obviates all possibility of the button becoming wedged in the gravity-feed slotted chute commonly employed with but ton fastening or clamping implements, since the wire to confines the button-eye within the crown of the staple.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
A button-fastener comprising a staple B to be looped through the eye of the button to be fastened, and a wire w bent around both sta-= ple-shanks to confine the button-eye in the loop or crown portion of the staple, substantially as described.
JOSEPH C. F. DICK.
In presence of J. W. DYRENFORTH, M. .I. FROST.
