WIRE BUCKLE.
No. 485,411. Patented Nov. 1, 1892.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CHARLES R. HARRIS, OF WILLIAMSPORT, PENNSYLVANIA.
WIRE BUCKLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 485,411, dated. November 1, 1892.
Application filed October 30, 1891. Serial No. 410,381. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, OHARLEs R. HARRIs, of Williamsport,-in the county of Lycoming and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wire Buckles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to an improvement in wire buckles, the object being to provide awire buckle that will present a neat appearance, capable of withstanding any strain to which suspender-buckles are ordinarily subjected and adapted to be easily and quickly adjusted on a suspender-web; and it consists in a wire frame preferably rectangular in shape, having inwardly-bent sides forming front arms, a swinging clamping-bar carried by the frame and adapted to engage the suspender web or strap and force it in contact with the inwardly-bent sides of the frame, means connecting the adjacent ends of the arms, anda snap for preventing the accidental displacement of the cast-off ring carried by the button-straps.
It further consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts, as will be more fully described, and pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a view in perspective of a buckle embodying my invention, and Fig. 2 is a view in elevation of a modified construction.
A represents a wire frame preferably made of a single piece of wire bent into rectangular form, with a hook 0, formed at the bottom or lower cross-bar of the frame for the reception of the cast-off ring on the button-straps. The sides of the frame A are bentinwardly toward the vertical center of the frame into approximately U shape, as shown in the several views, forming arms 13, against which the web or strap is forced by the swinging clamping-bar. The members of the U-shaped front arms are preferably approximately parallel and close together; but they can be separated more or less, and, if desired, may be made to diverge outwardly. In any event the front arms thus formed form a support or abutment for the web or strap when the latter is engaged by the teeth of the swinging clamping bar and hold said web or strap in contact with said swinging clamping-bar. The ends of the wire forming the frame preferably'come together at the top and are concealed, and, if desired,v secured together by a sleeve or by soldering.
In Fig. 1 I have shown the adjacent ends of the two front bars secured together by a sheetmetal snap F, the lower end of which terminates behind the upper free end of the hook, while in Fig. 2 I have shown the two ends of the front bars connected byaloop H, widened at its lower end to embrace the hook and bent to form a snap. In both of these constructions the inner ends of the bars can be connected by devices independent of the snap to prevent undue bulging out of the arms at their free ends. Both constructions disclosed are provided with swinging clamping-bars I, preferably hinged to the upper member of the U-shaped bars, and provided with teeth for engaging the web or strap and forcing it in contact with the front bars.
It is evident that many slight changes might be made in the relative arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention; and hence I would have it understood that I do not confine myself to the exact construction of parts herein shown and described; but,
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
A buckle having inwardly-projecting arms integral with the sides of the buckle-frame, a swinging clamping-bar located in rear of said arms, a hook at the lower end of said frame, and a snap connecting the adjacent ends of the inwardly-projecting arms and engaging the hook, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subsoribing witnesses.
CHARLES R. HARRIS.
