ALBERT. W. HAM, OF LANSINGBURG, ASSIGNOR TO THE TROJAN BUTTON FASTENER COMPANY, INCORPORATED, OF TROY, NEW YORK.
BUTTON FASTEN ER. PACKAGE.
SPECIFICATION. forming part of Letters Patent No. 537,531, dated April 16, 1895.
Application filed November 26, 1894. Serial No. 529,944. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ALBERTW. HAM, of the village of Lansingburg, county of Rensselaer, and State of New York, have invented new and useful ImprovementsinButton-Fastener Packages, of which the following is a specification.
Myinvention relates to a button-fastener I package adapted to contain button-fasteners to be sold as merchandise with the package case adapted by its construction to transfer the fasteners which it contains to the slideway or chute of a tube-loading machine, wherein the fasteners are threaded into the eyes of buttons, for use in button-setting machines; and it is one of the objects of my invention to dispense with that part of a tubeloader mechanism by which the fasteners are transferred from a hopper to a slide way which the fasteners straddle, and on which they slide down under the influence of gravity to where they are threaded into the eyes of buttons and transferred to a tube to attach to a button-setting machine. To adapt fasteners to a particular button setting machine requires that they should be made accurately as to size, bend, and shape to suit the machines for which they are designed; and to limit the user to the employment of proper fasteners and to prevent the use of badly formed imitations of them is another object of my invention; andthese results I accomplish by the construction and arrangement of the button fastener package hereinafter dethe same designation of parts by letter reference used in all of them.
Of the illustrations Figure 1, is a perspective of my improved button fastener package. Fig. 2, is another perspective of the case showing its form before the fasteners are inserted, the ends bent inwardly to retain them, and the top bent down. Fig. 5, is a section taken on the line at, (13', of Fig. 1. Fig. 4, is a section taken on the line 02 m of Fig. 1, and Fig. 5, is a section taken crosswise of the package after having been passed on over the slide-way of a tube loading machine to transfer the fasteners thereto.
The several parts of the package thus illustrated and the function of the parts are designated by letter reference and the function of the parts is described as follows:
The letter P, designates the package as filled and prepared for selling as merchandise.
The letter O, designates the case which has a flattened tube-form and it is produced from sheet metal preferably sheet tin. It has flat sides S, 3*, the bottom B, and the top T, with the latter on its open edge overlapping the adjacent side. The fasteners F (generally one gross) are placed in the package case so as to straddle the side S Then the latter is bent inwardly as shown at 6 c of Fig. 1, at each end, and the top T, is bent down over the fasteners. When it is desired to transfer these fasteners to the blade-form slide-way of a tube loading machine, the package is passed onover the slide-way of the tube-loader with the prongs of the fasteners where outside of the case side 5*, straddling the slide-way W, as shown at Fig. 5. While in this position, the top T is bent upwardly and the case dropped, it leaving the fasteners upon the slide-way of the tube-loader. Where there is combined with .a tube-loader, a fastener hopper, the number of working parts is increased, and the chances of getting out of order are increased, and this contingency is by the use of my improved fastener package, thus made, avoided.
While I have shown my case made to receive staple-form fasteners, it may be used to contain other fasteners containing prongs, and which are caused to descend on a slide-' way to the point whereat they are threaded into the buttons.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Pat ent, is-- A package for containing button fasteners having a flat tube-form with its sides con- 5 nected with its bottom and its top connected to one of its sides and constructed to overhang the edge of the other side, and to be bent inwardly at the ends and top to retain button-fasteners arranged therein, substantially in the manner as and for the purposes :0 set forth.
Signed at Troy, New York, this 21st day of November, 1894, and in the presence of the two witnesses whose names are hereto written.
ALBERT W. HAM.
