SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters P Application filed August 2, 1897.

Be it known that I, WILLIAM HORNICH, J r. a citizen'of the United States, residing at Newarlgin the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have-invented certain new and useful Improvements in Badges; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had;to the accompany? ing drawings, and to letters of reference form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to improvements in badges; and the invention has forits primary object to provide in connection witha ribbon a medallion bearing an inscription, emblem, design, or the like, said medallion being formed with a chamber .or depression in the. back, thereof and aplate havinga holding means adapted and arranged to permit the, insertion of said. plate into said chamber or depression and to be flattened out therein, whereby said holding means is firmly forced against the inner annular'surface'of said inebead, the device serving to firmly and permanently secure the said medallion. in position on any suitable part of the ribbon, which forms part of the badge.

The invention therefore consists in the badge provided with the novel means to be nently connecting of the badge.

The invention furthermore consists in they several details of construction of theseveral parts comprising the badge, as wellas in such novel arrangements and combinations of parts, all of which will be more fully described in the accompanying specification and finally embodied in the clauses of-the clai The invention is illustrated in the accompanying sheet of drawings, in Which.-

Similar letters of reference are employed in all of the above-described views tov indicate corresponding parts.

with meansto be hereinafter morefully described .for securing said ribbonto said melongitudinal vertical dallion and to provide the upwardly-.projecting part a and the downwardly-projecting part a medallion, as indicated'in Figs. 1 sive, or for simply securing a of the ribbon tosaid cated in Figs. 6 and 7.

arranged asindicated in elusive, said part a of the ribbon is usually provided with a top barb, having a pin 11, or

anyother sui-tabledevice for fastening the badge to the garment of the wearer.

to 4, inclubut one end, as medallion, as indi- When the ribbon is of the ribbon on opposite edgesfof said said Figs. 1 to 4, ini The medallion consists, essentially, of an ornamental button-like shell 0, orthe equivalent thereof, made of metal and of any de-:

.sirable configuration in outline, said shell be- 'ing provided with an inwardlyprojecting v 0n the face ofsaid go as will be more especiallyseen marginal rim orbead 0 button or shell 0 may be covering 0 from Figs. 3

blem, or the like.

said-covering c is arranged-over-and underneath the said marginal rim or bead c, where it is firmly held fast. and pulled taut by a suitably=constructed reinforcing-ring (1, provided with the inwardly-projecting marginal ed e d, as clearly illustrated in said Figs. 3

end a of the ribbon illustrated in Figs. 6 and and the maximum 7, and permanently secure the same therein by means of the clamping or holding plate e. Said plate e before it is permanently secured in the chamber-like or recessed part in the back of the medallion is made cup shape, as indicated in Figs. 4 and 5, its annular edge being turned upwardly and slightly outward, diameter of said edge being a trifle smaller than the minimum diameter of the opening in the ring (1. Said annular edge of the plate e is preferably provided with suitably cut-away parts e and the lugs or holding-teeth 6 extending outwardly and having the bent ends a which extend in a still farther outward direction to form the practically flat surfaces 6 at or near the extreme ends of. said lugs or teeth, said fiat surfaces being approximately parallel to the main part of the plate e, as clearly indicated in said Figs. 4 and 5.

In order that the herein-above mentioned parts of the ribbon a may be connected with and securely fastened in the chamber-like or recessed portion of the medallion C, the said holding-plate e is placed against the back of the combined ribbon and medallion, as indicated in Fig. 4, and its lugs or teeth e inserted through the opening in the ring d, so

that the flat surfaces e will rest lightly uponthe ribbon portion a of the ribbon illustrated in Figs. 1 to 4, inclusive, or upon the end (i of the ribbon shown in Fig. 7 and in the chamber or recess in the back of the medallion 0, as will be clearly understood from an inspection of the several figures of the drawings. I next apply sufficient pressure upon the back of the plate e by means of a die-or other suitable tool whereby the lugs or'teeth e will be flattened or straightened out, the whole conforming to the inner concave surface of the shell 0, said lugs or teeth a being forced into firm holding engagement with the inner annular rim or bead thereof, and said lugs or teeth at the same time securely and permanently holding the ribbon in place in said chambered part of the medallion, where'- by the latter is quickly and easily attached to the ribbon. lVhen but one end of the ribbon is to be permanently secured to the medallion O, as in Figs. 6 and 7, I arrange in said chambered part of the shell 0 between its annular rim or bead c and the annular edge (1' of the ring (I the holding portion f of a pin f. The construction and arrangement of said pin are clearly described and illustrated in United States Patent No. 564,356, granted J uly21,l896, to one George B.Adams, and to such pin per se I waive all claim, the same being merely illustrated herein to show the different forms of badges to which iny invention is applicable.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim isv '1. In abadge, the combination, with an ornamental shell-like medallion havinga chambered orrecessed portion in the back thereof, of a ribbon having a part thereof arranged in said-chambered or recessed medallion, and a plate for permanently securing said part of the ribbon in saidehainbered or recessed portion, said platehaving an outwardly-extending and raised annular rim, adapted to be arranged-n said chambered or recessed portion of said shell and straightened out therein to bring it and said ribbon in holding contact with the inner portion of said chamber, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
