SPECIFICATION forming part of Letterslatent No. 534,051, dated February 12, 1895.
Application filed J'uly 16, 1894. Serial No. 517,624. (No model.)
To all whom n may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES F. RoPnR, of Hopedale, county of Worcester, State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Garment-Clasps, of which th'e following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like letters on the drawings representing like parts.
This inventionhas for its object the production of a simple and efficient clasp to engage and hold fabric such as stockings.
My improved clasp consists essentially of a base plate having a .headed st-ud, and a plate having a contracted slot, and a covering plate overlying that part of the slot in which the stud rests when the clasp is subjected to strain in use, the slotted plate bending the fabric about the head of the stud, while the covering plate acts on the fabric lying on the head of the stud, the space which is entered by the lower side of the head between the slotted plate and the covering plate beingvwedgeshaped so that the greater the strain on the slotted and covering plates, due to the pull on the web used to operatively join the said plates with the base carrying the stud, the closer will be the hold of the clasp on the fabric lying on the stud. y t
Figure l shows one of my improved clasps in place. Fig. 2, on a much larger scale,
shows in front elevation one of my clasps asl engaging a piece of fabric; Fig. 3, a longitudinal central section in line x, Fig. 2, and Fig. 4, shows the blank before the same is bent into shape to form the clasp.
In the drawings, a represents a base having an attached headed stud a', the base being connected with or inclosed by the web w.
The other member of the clasp, as my invention is herein illustrated, is made from a metal blank or plate b, having a contracted or tapering slot b', a head covering part b2, and web slots or eyes b4, b3, said plate being bent on itself in about the dotted line :02, Fig. 4, one end of the slot in the blank being en-l larged to readily pass over and below the head of the stud a', the other part of the slot be-A ing contracted to a width less than .the diameter of said head.
Thetwo web slotsy or eyes, after the blank b has been bent, as best shown in Figs. 2 and 3, so as to leave the slot b at the inside, are entered by the web w, the said part hanging on a -bight of the web joined to the main body of the web by stitches at c. See Fig. 3.
s represents a stocking to be held by the clasp. t To use the clasp, put the head of the stud a at the inner side of the stocking, and then move the engaging part of theplate until the enlarged upper end of the slot b is opposite the stud, and then the plate is passed over said stud and the fabric lying on it, and the edges of the slot having been passed below the under side of the head of the stud, said plate bent like a loop isdrawn upwardly with lrelation to the said stud, as shown best in the drawings Fig. 2, and as the stud moves in the lower part of the slot b', the inner side of the covering part b2 of the plate, inclined outwardly as shown in said ligure to leave a tapering space between itand the part having said slot b', is made to contact with the stooking fabric lying on the head of the stud, irnpinging the same closely against the outer side of the head of the stud, while the edges of the slot bend the fabric about the edges of the said head.
The plate b will be made of spring metal, so that the tendency of the plate when bent over, as at e, Fig. 2, will be to contract the tapering space into which the head of the stud will enter, as shown, when strain is put on the clasp in use.
In another application made by me, Serial No. 512,634, filed on the 28th day of May, 1894, I have shown a clasp having a wedgeshaped lower end adapted to be drawn into the tapering pocket or space h between the under side of the head of the stud and the base carrying said stud, but herein the head enters a'wedge-shaped space.
The narrow parts of the metal plate at opposite sides of the slot b may and in practice will preferably have a hump or lump m, as shown by dotted lines Fig. 2 to thus prevent accidental slipping of the stud out of the slot. Having described myinvention, what I the stud stands in the lower part of the slot Io b', for the purposes set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
CHARLES F. ROPER.
