EDWARD B. AIGUIER, OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR TO THE RICHARDSON MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.

LINK-BUTTON.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 551,568, dated December 17, 1895.

Application filed August 23, 1895. Serial No. 560,256. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD B. AIGUIER, of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Link-Button, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved link-button, arranged for convenient attachment to a cuff, and adapted to hold the buttons in proper position relative to the adjacent ends of the cuff.

The invention consists principally of two buttons and a connecting-link for pivotally connecting the said buttons with each other, the pivots being arranged obliquely to one another to hold the buttons in a like position.

The invention also consists of certain parts and details and combinations of the same, as will be fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1' is a perspective view of the improvement as applied. Fig. 2 is a sectional side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the improvement, and Fig. 4 is a plan View of the same.

The improved link-button is provided with two buttons A and A, pivotally connected B and 13 arranged obliquely to one another, so that the two buttons A and A stand obliquely one to the other when used on a cufi, as indicated in Figs. 1 and 2.

It will be seen that by the arrangement described the link and buttons can be folded to stand parallel one to the other, as indicated in Figs. 3 and 4, so that the buttons can be readily passed through the buttonholes in a cufi when attaching the link-buttons to the same.

It will further be seen by reference to the drawings that the pivotal connection of the link and buttons is at the center of the latter, and neither of the buttons is rigid on the link, and both pivots are arranged as previously described, so that the buttons readily fit upon the angular surface of the cuff when applied.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent In a link button, two button sections, and a link, the same having diagonal portions respectively hinged to the button sections whereby the button sections are placed diagv onally to each other, substantially as described.
