SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 507,623, dated October 31, 1893.

Application filed April 11, 1890.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWIN J. KRAETZER, of Gloversville, in the county of Fulton and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Glove-Fasteners, of which the following is a full specification.

My invention relates to fasteners for gloves and other articles and consists especially of an improved resilient button hole member attached to one flap of the material, and constructed as hereinafter described, to be used in connection with an unresilient button member of any desired construction attached to the other flap of the material, and adapted to engage with the said button hole member.

Referring to the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a sectional view of my complete button hole member. Fig. 2 shows in elevation a form of stud adapted to engage therewith. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the cover.

a Fig. 4 of the doubly flanged retaining piece,

Fig. 5 of the combined resilient socket and anvil piece, and Fig. 6, of the clinching eyelet.

My improved button hole member is preferably made in four parts or pieces, A, B, O and D. Of these B is the socket or resilient part of the button hole and consists of a flanged eyelet having a tubular portion, the walls of which are preferably nearly perpendicular with the flange and rounded in at its lower end to form a re-entrant mouth I). This piece is rendered resilient by means of one or more slits B, as shown in Figs. 1 and 5. It is moreover provided with the rounded anvil surface b acting in the manner presently to be described.

When the parts forming the fastener are in place, the flange of the resilient socket B rests on the outer curved flange c of the doubly flanged retaining piece O, both pieces B and 0 being held Within the cover A by rounding in the tubular portion a thereof around the said outer curved flange c. A suitable hole being made in the material to which the button hole member is attached, the parts A, B and O joined together as described, are placed on the upper surface thereof with the tubular portion of the socket projecting downward through the hole. The flange clinching eyelet D is then passed upward from beneath with its tubular portion around Serial No. 347,498- (No model.)

and outside of the tubular portion of the resilient socket. With the parts in this position pressure is applied between suitably shaped dies and the upper edge of the clinching eyelet D being pressed up against the curved anvil surface b of the socket is turned outward over the top of the inner flange o of the retaining piece 0, thus tightly securing all the parts together and to the material, as shown in Fig. 1.

The clinching eyeletD is preferably provided at its upper end with the outwardly flaring portion (1 in order to more readily be turned outward and over the inner flange of the retaining piece 0 when the said upper end engages with the rounded anvil portion 17 of the socket. I also preferably construct the doubly flanged piece C in such a manner that the top of the inner flange 0 thereof is bent outward, as shown to facilitate the clinching together of the parts.

The raised inner flange c on the retaining piece 0 is of considerable importance since it raises up the flanged socket B allowing it to set up against the top of the dome or cover and takes the place, in a sense, of a separate filling, which would necessarily have to be employed between the top of the cover and the flange of the socket B, were there no such flange c.

The re-entrant mouth b of the resilient socket clasps the contracted neck g of the stud G which is mounted in any desired manner on the opposite flap of the glove or other article, while the tubular portion of the said socket B contains the head of the stud within it when the two parts are sprung together.

I claim- 1. The button hole member of a fastener consisting of a flange slitted socket-forming eyelet having a re-entrant mouth I) in combination with a doubly flanged retaining piece 0, a cover A and a flanged clinching eyelet D, passed up from beneath and clinched under the flange of the socket-eyelet above the surface of the material to which the fastener is attached, substantially as described.

2. The button hole member of a fastener consisting of a flanged slitted socket-forming eyelet having a re-entrant mouth I) and the rounded anvil portion b in combination with a cover A, aflang'ed clinching eyelet D passed In witness whereof I have hereunto set my up from beneath and clinched under the hand.
