To all whom, it may concern:
n Be it known that 1, MARIE LOUISE PERROT- TET, a citizen of the United States, residing in New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment- Fastening Devices, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a fastening device for garments and more especially to ajfastening device particularly adapted for use with corsets.
The object of the invention is to provide an improved fastening device of this character simple in construction and durable in use and each member of which will be of an integral structure, thereby avoiding the use of rivets or other holding means, and which members in use may be readily connected and disconil nected. i V
In the drawings accompanying and forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a front view of the fastening members detached from a garment and disconnected. Fig. 2 is also a front view of a part of such fastening members connected. Fig. 3 is a rear view thereof. Figs. 4 and 5 are enlarged cross-sectional views taken in lines a a and b b, Figs. 2 and 1, respectively. v Fig. 6 is a view of the meeting edges of the fastening members disconnected; and Figs 7 and 8 are views illustrating another form of thisimproved fastening means, said Fig. S `being a transverse sectional View taken in linec c, Fig. 7.
Similar characters of reference designate corresponding parts in the different figures of the drawings.
As a preface to a further description of this improved fastening device, it will be understood that the fastening members may be constructed of any suitable material adapted for the purpose, although in practice they may usually be constructed of metal-such, forA instance, as sheet metal-and it will be also understood that `the, device is adapted for use with various garments, such as waists, but for the present purposes lthe invention will be described in'connection 'with corsets.
This improved fastening device comprises in the present instance a pair of fastening members, one of which is provided with in-y tegral hooks and the other of which is provided with openings formed therein intermediate the longitudinal edgesof said member for the reception of said hooks, said hooks and openings having a particular. construction,
l whereby the rear faces of such members which are nearest the wearer have a smooth and even surface. I am aware, however, that corsetfastening devices have been employed in which the hooks are integral with one member, while the openings or companion hooks are formed at the edge of the other member-for instance,asshownby English Patent No. 380 of 1855 or by United States Patent No. 447,076- 6 3 l butin such constructions the edges of the steels are necessarily relatively wide apart and are not in close relationship. I am also aware of other devices-such, for instance, as that of Patent No. i98,913, in which one member is provided with integral hooks. at the edges, while the other is provided with slots formed in one layer or thickness of metal intermediate the edges of such members. This construction is, however, not only an expensive one to manufacture, both as to the amount of material necessary tobe used and the time and labor to be expended, since the metal strip must be of sufficient width to enable it to be bent upon itself to form. two layers, while portions of one layer must afterward be raised to permit the entrance of the hooks of the other member, but the durability of such a device must necessarily be short, since under the pressure to which these devices are subjected the raised portions of the strip formying the apertures for the hooks4 will soon be closed in,and thus prevent the fastening of the members. Hence all of the devices of which I am aware lack the important and essential vfeatures of my improved fastening device, which is not only inexpensiveto manufacture, but is of such a structure that its durability is not affected by constant use, since in its construction the use of rivets, which quickly become corroded by the perspiration f the wearer and break or the heads of,- which soon pull`V through the metal, are dispensed'with, while the slots are so formed that they cannot be closed at any time against the entrance of the hooks. v
In the form shown herein this improved IOO garment-fastening device comprises a pair of members-such, for instance, as strips or steels 2 and 3-adapted to bc secured in any suitable or usual manner one to each edge of the garment-as, for instance, a corset. One of these members-as, for instance, the member lkis provided with a series of integral hooks et, extending transversely of the strip and which in some instances may be formed intermediate the longitudinal edges thereof, Fig. 7 but in the preferred form these hooks et project from one of the edges thereof, the rear portion or shank 5 of each hook being of the same thickness as the strip, whereby the rear face 6 of such hook-shank is fiush with the rear side 2 of the strip 2. Each of these hooks is preferablyprovided with an enlarged end or head 7 for the purpose hereinafter set forth. The other of said members-as, for instance, the member 3 is provided with a series of slots or openings 8, usually corresponding in number with the hooks Lf and shown herein as transverscly-extending slots or openings substantially in the nature of keyhole-slots, so that each opening has portions of different diameters and comprises an enlarged portion 0 and a relatively narrow portion or neck 10 formed in the strip intermediate the longitudinal edges of such strip, so that it is completely inclosed between the edges of said strip. Each of these relatively narrowr portions IO communicates with a recess or recessed port-ion l2 at the rear side 3 of said strip, and which recess is intermediate such neck and the meeting edge of the member 3, and hence the wall thereof forms a bridge between such neck and the longitudinal meetin g edge of the stri p. The width of this bridge, together with the length of the hooks 4, may determine the location of the open ings 8 intermediate the edges of the member 3, and thereby the position of the adjacent edges of the strip. In use the end of each hook is first inserted in the enlarged portion 9 of its respective opening 8 and then drawn into the narrow portion or neck lO thereof, whereby the shank 5 of such hook will rest in the recessed portion 1i' of the slotted member 3, and thereby permit its rear face 6 to be iiush with the rear face 3 of the member 3, and thus present a smooth and even surface to the wearer.
In the construction shown in Figs. 7 and S the hooks et are formed intermediate the longitudinal edges of thefmember 2, whereby in use the fastening members may overlap.
From the foregoing it will be seen that an improved fastening device having an integral structure is provided, thereby doing away with the use of rivets or other separate holding means for securing the hooks and eyes in position, and that, furthermore, by forming the openings or slots intermediate the longitudinal edges of the strip the strips can be brought into contact with each other, while at the same time the narrow portion of the slots, together with the enlarged heads of the hooks, prevent in use the premature disconnection of the strips, while also the recessed portions in one strip enable the hooks to be formed at the edge of the other strip and project entirely through the slotted strip and yet present a smooth and even surface to the rear of such strips.
I claim as my invention-V l. A fastening device comprising a pair of i strips, one of which is provided with a series of integral hooks, and the other of which is provided with a series of openings formed therein intermediate its longitudinal edges adapted to receive the hook portions of the hooks, and with a series of recesses adapted to receive the shanks of said hooks, whereby when the strips are in use the rear faces of the hook-Shanks will be fiush with said strip.
2. A fastening device comprising a pair of strips, one of which is provided at its edge with a series of integral hooks having enlarged heads, and the other of which is pro'- vided with a series of openings formed therein intermediate its longitudinal edges, each having portions of diiferent diameters and adapted to receive the hook portions of the hooks, and also provided with a series of recesses intermediate said openings and one of the longitudinal edges of said strip and adapted to receive the shanks of said hooks.
3. The herein-describedv fastening device, which consists of a pair of strips having meeting edges, one of which is provided at its meeting edge with a series of transverselyextending hooks formed integral with said strip, the rear face of each hook-shank being flush with the rear side of said strip, and the other of said strips having a series of completely-inclosed openings formed therein intermediate the longitudinal edges thereof, whereby, in use, the meeting edges of such strips will be in engagement, and each of said openings communicating with a recessed porj tion at the rear side of said strip intermediate said opening and the meeting edge of the strip for the reception of the shank of'a hook, whereby, when the strips are in engagement,
1 the rear face of the hook-shank will be flush with the rear faces of both strips, substantially as described.
4. The herein-described fastening device, which consists of a pairof strips having meeting edges,one of which is provided at its meeting edge with aseries of transversely-extending hooks formed integral with said strip and having enlarged heads, the rear face of each hook-shank being flush with the rear side of said strip, and the other of said strips-having a series of transversely-extending openings formed in said strip intermediate and completely inclosed by the longitudinal-'edges thereof, whereby, in use, the meeting edges of said strips will have their adjacent edges ICO IIO
IZO
in juxtaposition, and each of said openings comprising a relatively narrow portion and. an enlarged portion, the narrow port-ion of each opening communicating with a recessed portion at the rear side of said strip intermediate said opening and the meeting edge of the strip for the reception of the shank of a hook,whereby,when the strips are in juxtapoa stion, the rear face of each hook-shank will be Hush with the rearfaces of both of said strips. 1o
