ApplicationdledMey 18,1893. Serial No. 474,699. (No model.)
To all whom t may concern.: p
Beit known thatwe, AnoLrri Fernen and TOMAS G. SAXTON, citizens of Vthe United States, residing at Lexington, in the county ot Fayette and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in `Devices for Holding Collars on Shirts; and we do hereby declare .the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention,such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
Our invention relates to improvements in devices for holding collars on shirts, and for kindred purposes, and it consists of certain novel features, hereinafter described and claimed.
Reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in which the sameparts are indicated by the saine letters throughout the several views.
Figure l represents a perspective view of the device as completed and ready for use. Fig.` 2 represents a perspective View of the shirt holder and the frame connected thereto. Fig. 3 represents a perspective view of the collar holder detached from the completed device. Fig. 4 represents a perspective view of the bent lever ,or cam detached, and Fig. 5
terior side of the shirt holder is'provided with' guide lianges of' which terminate in the arms a? and in the eyes a?, opposite to the shirt holding face e3. Where this plate which forms the combined frame and shirt holder is curved as .at a5, a lug a6 is provided as shown in Fig. 2.
d10 is groove or depression adapted to receive` the end c of the operating lever C, and au'are stiiening ribs to add strength to the structure.
y The collar holder B is preferably made of resilient material, with two upwardly projectingarms' b and b joined together as at bsl and adapted to fit in the curved portion c5 ofA theframe A. The reararm ZJ is provided withV wings b2 adapted to tit on either side oi' theplate a3, and to slip freely downward, but to catch it drawn upward. .The upper portions of these arms b and b are broadened out as shown at b3 and h4, and are provided with teeth b-and h6 adapted to seize the collar when the spring B is compressed, by the operating lever C.
@Z7 represents a tongue or projection which may be stamped out ot' the arm b for the purpose of holding the back of the necktie, but this lug may be omitted if desired.
The operating lever Gis provided with a handle c adapted to turn down into 'the groove al", with projecting `studs c which serve as trunnions or journals, and on which the lever is pivoted, and-bearing face c2 adapted to engage the arm b of the spring B. The parts are assembled by slipping the curved portion bs of the collar holder vIB into the curved portion d5 of the shirt holder andv frame A, and in then bending down the ears This holds the Icollar holder firmly in the frame, While the guide flanges a4 and 'b2 preventany lateral motion of the collar holder in the said frame. The arms .es are sprung apart sufficiently to allow the trunnions c' to be inserted into the eyes el, and the device is then 'ready for use.
In operation the tongue a is slipped back of the shirt band, or through the button hole for the collar button, the resiliency of the metal, and the wings a and b2, hold the de- Vice firmly in place, and prevent it from slipping up out of position by any ordinary motions of the wearer. The ends of the'collar are then drawn between the teeth bvand b until the collar fits the shirt band, when the arm c of the lever C. is bent down into the groove am. This throws the arm c2 of the lever against the front arm b of the collar holder, and presses the teeth b5 and h6 into the material of the collar firmly holding the same, at the same time the tabs of the collar press the arm bA back and cause the wings b2 to nip the shirtband. Thus a double clamp is obtained, holding both the shirt and the collar, and neither can be released except by raising the lever C out of the groove om. `Vthen it is desired to release the collar, the arm c is thrown out into a position shown in Fig. 1, and the resiliency of the metal in the collar holderB will cause the teeth b5 and h to spring apart releasing the ends of the collar.
It will be seen that by the use of the herein described device the collar may be adjusted to tit the shirt band accurately, and thus the inconvenience resulting from ill-fitting collars may be avoided. It will also be seen that the device Will hold collars having button holes enlarged or torn through entirely, and that it is in no Way dependent upon the size of the ybutton hole in the shirt, or upon there being any button hole there at all. This latter is'of special importance, since in the ordinary methods pursued in the laundry, the starch and the chemicals used in stiening the shirt, cause the linen fabric to rot or crystallize, and the button holes are readily' cracked and broken, and therefore the use of the button-holeis if possible, to be avoided.
Again, another feature of our improved collarholding device is the fact that it will hold collars of any desired stiffness or thick- IIBSS.
In the ordinary form of collar button, where the collar is very thick or is starched very stiff, and especially where the said collar is a little too short, great difliculty is experienced in inserting the collar button. This difficulty is entirely avoided by the use of our improved device.
.i It Will be obvious that a cam or eccentric might be used in place of the bent lever C, and that many other modifications might be made, which would suggest themselves to any one skilled in the mechanic arts.
' Having thus described our invention, what We claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patentof the United States, is-
1.
