UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOSEPH MATHISON, OF SOMERVILLE, MASSACHUSETTS.
METHOD OF ATTACHING BUTTONS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 484,105, dated October 11, 1892.
Application filed May 5, 1890- To 00% whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOSEPH MATHIsoN, of Somerville, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Methods of Attaching Boot or Shoe Buttons, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has for its object to enable buttons to be securely and quickly attached to the uppers of boots or shoes by a metallic fastening device; and it consists in the method as hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 represents a side view of awire staple adapted to be converted into a button-fastener embodying my invention. Fig.2represents a side elevation of a button secured by my improved fastener to a button-piece, the latter being shown in section.
The same letters or numerals of reference indicate the same parts in both the figures.
In carrying out my invention I take a staple a, Fig. 1, of suitably-flexible wire and force the prongs or legs 2 2 thereof outwardly through the piece I), to which the button 0 is to be secured, the cross-bar 3 of the staple bearing on the inner side of said piece, while the prongs project from the outer surface thereof. I then bend said prongs inwardly toward each other, pass their ends through the eye of the button,then around and under the wire forming the eye, so as to permanently Serial No. 350,583. (No model.)
engage them with the said eye, both prongs being passed through from the same side of the button-eye, thus forming loops 4 4, surrounding or nearly surrounding the wire of which the button-eye is made. The inner surface of the button-piece is thus left smooth and the points of the prongs are prevented from coming in contact with the stocking or flesh of the wearer of the boot or shoe and are also prevented from marring the upper surface of the leather. The button is thus securely attached to the piece 12 and can only be removed by cutting or breaking the staple or by unbending the loops 4 4.
I claim- The method of attaching shoe-buttons, consisting in inserting the prongs of a'wire staple through separate openings in a buttonsupporting piece from the under side, then placing the eye of a button against the face of the piece, then bending the upwardly-projecting prongs through the eye from one and the same side thereof, and then curving their ends under the eye each side of the center thereof, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 28th day of April, A. D. 1890.
JOSEPH MATHISON. Witnessesi W. O. THAIRLWELL, O. F. BROWN.
