BUTTON.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 568, 546, dated September 29, 1896.
Application filed August 28, 1894:. Serial No. 521,488. (No model.) 7
7 To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CLARK M. PLATT, a citizen of the'United States, and a resident of Waterbury, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Buttons, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in buttons, and more particularly to that kind or class thereof which is commonly known or referred to as tack or f rivet buttons, the object being to provide an article of this kind or character which shall be simple, neat, and cheap, and one which may be readily and securely fastened to the cloth or fabric by means of the button-machines now in use.
With these and other ends in view my invention consists in certain novel features of construction, as will be hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a sectional view of my improved button before being attached to the cloth or fabric. Fig. 2 is a similar view after being applied. Figs. 3 and 4: are sectional views of a modification.
Referring to the drawings, A represents the button proper, made of metal and having its outer edge curled over and its central portion depressed, as shown at A. The bottom of the butt-on is turned inwardly and provided with an opening a for the passage of the tack or fastener. In the lower portion of the depressed center is located a clenching-die 13, also made of metal, and having its top preferably dome-shaped, said die being held in place by friction, by bending the metal of the depressed center outwardly, as shown at (1 or otherwise. The lower side of the die is also turned inwardly, as shown at b, and rests upon or against the bottom a of the button, and is provided with an opening 6 of sufficient size to allow of the passage of the tack or fastener.
In securing the button to the cloth or fabric any of the button machines or tools now in use which will accomplish the purpose may be made use of, the self-piercing tack or rivet C being first forced through the cloth D, and after passing through the openings in the bottom of the button and die is then caused to strike the top of the clenching-die, whereby it is curled or upset, securely fastening the button to the fabric, as shown in Fig. 2. v
In Figs. 1 and 2 I have shown the lower side of the die turned inwardly to a smaller extent than the bottom of the button, but if desired it may be turned inwardly to a greater extent, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, or again, if desired, to the same extent, it being requi site, however, that the die be turned in to such an extent that it will bear against and rest upon the bottom of the depressed center of the button.
It will be understood from the above that the gist of this invention lies in a die formed to accommodate a single-pointed tack or fastener C and having an inwardly turned flange to rest upon or against the inwardlyturned bottom of the depressed center of the button.
I am aware that dies have been placed in buttons to overturn the point of a tack or fastener, and hence I make no broad claim to such; but
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
A button adapted to be secured to cloth or fabric by means of a single-pointed tack or rivet, and constructed with a depressed center and an inwardly-turned bottom, and having a clenching-die secured in said depressed center, said die also having an inwardlyturned bottom to bear against and rest upon the inwardly-turned bottom of the button proper, substantially as described.
Signed at Waterbury, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, this 23d day of August, A. D. 1894.
