DEVICE FOR CLEANING BUTTONS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 577,02 5, dated February 16, 1897.
' Application filed September 12,1896. Serial No. 605,604. (NomodeL) tate the cleaning of metallic or other buttons without removing the latter from the garment. Heretofore devices of this class have been usually constructed with a slot adapted cleaning or polishing the button with the device of this construction the clothing is liable to damage for the reason that a portion of the latter is left exposed by the slot.
The object of my invention is toprovide a simple and improved device for retaining one or a series of buttons in position for cleaning or polishing in such a manner that no portion of the garment or clothing will be exposed through the device and thus liable to damage.
A further object of my invention is to provide a device of this character which will possess advantages in point of convenience,
effectiveness, ease of operation, and general efficiency.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a face or plan view showing the locking and covering plates in closed position. Fig. 2 is a corresponding view showing the plates in open position, and Fig. 3 is a corresponding view illustratinga modified construction adapted for use in connection with a single button.
Referring to the drawings, A designates a plate or strip of suitable length forming the body of the device and provided at one end with a suitable handle a, by which it may be conveniently held in position.
or opening 0., adapted to receive a button to At the opposite end the body A is provided with an eye ing a.
Upon the face of the body A are provided plates B, arranged in series and pivotally mounted, as at I). These plates are adapted to be turned upon their pivots to throw them outwardly beyond the slot a when the buttons are adjusted in position in the device. The opposite side edges of the plates B, which adjoin each other when the plates are in normal position, are provided with semicircular recesses b, which conjointly form a circular opening in which the shank portion of the button is accommodated.
The device as above describedis adapted to simultaneously receive and retain the-series of buttons, and when the pivoted plates are thrown into normal position they serve to close the slot, as shown in Fig. 1, and thus protect the portion of the garment under the body A from damage during the operation of cleaning or polishing the buttons, and at the a longitudinal slot a intersecting the opensame time they serve to lock or retain the latter effectively in position.
In practice the buttons may be'suocessively adjusted in the device and the plates likewise be successively thrown into normally-closed position.
In the modification shown in Fig. 3, which is a construction adapted for use in connection with a single button, the body A is of reduced length, and the slot at is also correspondingly reduced in length. In this modified construction a single pivoted plate B is provided, and the circular opening I) is conjointly formed by the semicircular recess 1) in the edge of the pivoted plate and by a recess b of corresponding contour at the end of the slot a In the construction and arrangement of this modified single-button device the pivoted plate may be of sufficient IOO gitudinally-arranged series of pivoted plates adapted ,to cover said slot and provided in my invention 1 have signed. my name, in prestheir opposite edges with correlative recesses once of two Witnesses, this 8th day of Sepoonjointly forming an eye or opening for the tember, 1896.
