JOSEPH FRIEDBERGER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

BREASTPIN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 499,356, dated June 13, 1893.

Application filed November 22, 1892. Serial No. 452,845. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH FRIEDBERGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Breastpins, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, which will enable others skilled in the art to construct the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figure 1 is a central, longitudinal section of my improved breast-pin, showing parts assembled. Fig. 2 is a detailed View showing form of pin employed. Fig. 3 is a detailed sectional view of hollow annular studslwhieh project from the back of the body of the breast-pin. Fig. 4 is a detailed sectional view showing construction of caps fixed upon the said hollow studs.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

This invention relates to that class of devices commonly called breast-pins, the same being utilized by .women for the purposes of adornment and to secure the dress at the throat. Its object is to provide a breast-pin which will obviate all liabilityto removal from the dress, save at the option of the wearer; and to this end I employ certain parts which will now be fullyand specifically referred to.

Having reference to the accompanying drawings, the letter A represents the bodyof my improved breast-pin, which may be given any desired form or configuration.

The letters B, B, denote hollow, annular studs projecting from the back of the said body, the said studs being located one at either end of said body.

The letters 0, 0, denote spiral springs, one inserted within each of said studs.

The letters D, D, denote caps, one fixed upon each of said studs; and the letters E, E, denote pins, one adapted to be moved longitudinally within the crown of either cap, D, D.

The crowns of the caps D, D, should be of sufficient thickness to admit of the formation therein of transverse ways or openings suitable to the reception of the pins E, E, which construction insures the retention of the said pins in proper alignment. The said pins E,

E, are introduced to the transverse openings in the cap-crowns from opposite directions, occupy a position parallel with the body A, and, when in place, point each toward the lother. The outward longitudinal play of each of the pinsE, E, is limited by the shoulder 6, e, with which the said pins are provided. Theinward longitudinal play of each of the said pins E, E, is limited by the end of the spiral spring 0, O, which projects through an opening in the base of the cap-crown, and takes into the small recess 5, with which the said pins are provided. The shoulder e, 6, also serves the desirable purpose of preventing the pins E, E, from being entirely withdrawn from the cap-crowns.

The spiral spring 0, O, is inserted in the stud B, B, the outer end of which passes through a suitable opening (Fig. 4), in the cap-crown, and, coming in contact with the pin E, E, has a tendency to obviate any longitudinal play thereof within the cap-crowns, though the said pins may be withdrawn or urged inward by a slight effort. The recess, b, b with which each of the pins E, E, is provided, being located near the outer end thereof, when said pins are each urged inward till the protruding end of each of the spiral springs O,- O, takes into said recess b, b, the points of the pins E, E, will nearly meet.

The caps D, D, when in place upon the respective studs, 13, B, may be permanently retained in position by brazing.

Anysuitable material may be employed in the production of the herein described breastpin.

The manner of applying my said invention maybe set forth as follows: Each of the pins E, E, having been withdrawn from the caporowns sufficiently to bring the stop or shoulder thereof, in contact with the protruding end of the spring 0, C, the material of the dress at the point where it is desired to wear the breast-pin, is introduced between the points of the pins E, E, when, upon the pins beingcaused to move simultaneously inward, till the protruding end of each of the spiral springs O, 0, takes into the recess 1), b, the breast-pin is locked in position. The pressure of the protruding end of the spring 0, 0,

against the pin E, E, may be readily overcome by the wearer in withdrawing the pins E, E; with hollow studs 13,13, and the springs O, C, and upon said pins being thus Withdrawn, inserted within said studs, all substantially [O the breast-pin as a whole may be removed. as described and for the purpose set forth.

What I claim asnew, and desire to secure JOSEPH FRIEDBERGER' 5 by Letters Patent, 1swvimesses n In a breast-pin, in combination, the pins E,

E, the caps D, D, each provided with a suit- JAMES M. OSZYUSKY, able transverse opening, thebody A, provided F. G. LANGDON.
