Application filed February 24,1891. Serial No. 382,545. (No model.) Patented in England October 13, 1887, No. 13,910, and September 7, 1888,11'0. 12,962.

ABe it known that I, CHARLES JACKSON, engineer, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at 224 Herbert Road, Birminghain, England, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Fastenin gs to be Used as Sleeve-Links and for other Purposes, (for which I have obtained Letters .Patent in Great Britain, No. 13,910, dated October 13, 1887, and No. 12,962, dated September 7, 1888,) of which the following is a specification.

This invention has for its object improvements in fastenings to be used as sleeve-links and for other purposes. I construct such fastenings with two spring flaps or clasps, and these are so arranged that one fiap or clasp may be passed through a button-hole, say, on one side of the sleeve of a shirt and closed down upon the fabric, thereby securing the fastening to it, and another iiap or clasp may afterward be passed through another buttonhole on the other side of the sleeve and then closed down, thereby separately attaching the fastening to the second of the two thicknesses of fabric which the fastening is used to connect. In some cases I provide more than two spring iiaps or clasps with a view to rendering the attachment more secure. L

In order that my said invention may be fully understood and readily carried into effect, I will proceed to describe the drawings hereunto annexed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a fastening or sleeve-link constructed in accordance with my invention. It is drawn larger than it would usually be constructed. Fig. 2 is also a side elevation, but with the parts in another position. Fig. 3 is an under side view. Fig. 4 is a section on the line 4 4 in Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a section on the line 5 5 in Fig. 3. Fig. 6 is a section on the line 6 6 in Fig. 3. Figs. 7, 8, and 9 show separately some of the parts. Fig. 10 is an under side view with the outer or casing plate removed. Fig. 11 shows a inodilication. Fig. 12 is a plan of a fastening similar to that shown by the preceding figures, but differing somewhat in the detail of its construction. Fig. 13 is an elevation. Fig. 14 is a section, and Fig. 15 is an under side view, of the fastening shown by Fig. 12.

Fig. 1G is a side elevation in which two aps or clasps only are provided* Fig. 17 is a plan, and Fig. 18 is a longitudinal section, of the fastening shown by Fig. 16. Fig. 19 is a side elevation, and Fig. 2() is a plan, of another fastening similar to that shown by Figs. 16, 17, and 18, but somewhat different in form. Fig. 21 is asection of the fastening shown by Figs. 19 and 20. Fig. 22 is a plan of the foundation-plate, and Fig. 23 is a section on the line x of Fig. 22.

a is a disk or plate of metal serving as l(he foundation on which the movable parts are mounted. These consist of two flaps or clasps b and c and a ap or clasp CZ. The flap b is shown separately by Fig. 7 and the iiap c by Fig. 8. In place, however, of the flaps crossing each other, they may be constructed as shown in Fig. 1l.

Fig. 9 shows the iiap or clasp d. The flaps b and c, as will be seen, are formed with pivots, and these fit into indentations or recesses in the foundation-plate d. They are kept in place by a cover-plate e, and this is secured by the ears d a of the foundation-plate a, which are turned over upon it. The same cover-plate serves to hold the spring f in such a position that it presses upon square shoulders formed upon the flaps b and c, so that the spring tends to bring the flaps when they are raised to the position in which they are shown in Fig. 2, where they stand up approximately at right angles to their former position. The flaps b and c are also geared together by teeth, as the drawings indicate, so that they move up and down together. fiap or clasp d is furnished with pivots, and these are held in small lugs a2 a2, projecting up from the foundation-plate. The flap or clasp is continued beyond the pivots and comes into contact with a spring g, which is attached to the dished head-plate or casing 71 of the fastening. The casing h is secured to the foundation-plate et by bending or burring its edges, as indicated in Fig. 6.V In the use of this link o1 fastening one lappet or thickness of the fabric is laid over the flaps b and c while they stand in the posit-ion indicated in Fig. 2, the said liaps passing through a hole suitably formed in the fabric to receive them. The flaps Z2 and c are then closed down upon the fabric, and so the link or fastening be- The IOC

ing, but similar in its action. It consists of-l a dished plate t, provided on its convex-face with lugs, to which the pair of transverse iiaps or clasps lo lo are pivoted, and also a third fiap or clasp Z, which folds down over the pai-r. A

spring-plate m, of a -form clearly shown inl Fig. 15, serves for all the iiaps or `clasps to hold them -either in the folded position or when standing erect. The spring-plate m is attached to the .plate 1l by rivets or otherwise.

Sometimes for the sake of 'simplicity I provide two aps or clasps only. Figs. 16, 17, and 18 represent such a fastening. which is dished, as shown, to receive the cover B, the two Abeing attached together byl rubbing or otherwise. C and D are two spring flaps or clips pivoted to lugs 'C' D', fixed to the plate A. T-he tail ends of the tlaps or clips C and D bear against the ends of the iiat spring E, whose middle is riveted at F to the plate A.

Figs. 19 to 23 show a `fastening of vanother form. As shown in Figs. 22 and 23, the portions -Af A of the foundation-plate are turned The iiap or clasp` A is a plateup, forming lugs to receive the axes of the spring tiaps or clips C and D. The iiap or clip C is forked, (see Fig. 20,) the Hap or clip D lying between the arms of the fork. This construction admits of the hinges of the iiaps or clips being closer together than in the construction shown in Figs. 1G to 18. The tail ends of the tiaps or clips C and. D rest upon the lends of the spring E, which is riveted at F tothe plate A, as shown in Fig. 21.

1. A sleeve link or fastening consisting of a plate z', 4three spring-flaps 7a la and Z, pivoted to lugs 'on the plate i, and a spring m, operating upon all the said flaps to retain them either in the open orclosedposition, substantially as described.

2. A sleeve link or fasten-ing `consisting of a plate fand three spring-'flaps two of which vare Aconnected to jt-hefplate by parallel .pivots and thefotheriof which is arranged 4on fa'piv-ot transverse to the .-pivots'of 'the other ltwoii'a'ps, for the purpose specified.

3. A'slee've 41in-k or fastening consistingV of the combination of a plate, a springsiiappivoted to the plate, y another' spring-Hap Lpivoted lto thesarne side of the plate,fbut at another part thereof, `both of 'said-flaps being constructed and adapted to fold down and separately hold two parts ofthe fabricto 'the link or fastening, substantially -as set -fort-h.
