HENRY J. JACOBS, OF BUFFALO, NEW YORK.
CLIP FOR UPHOLSTERING PURPOSES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 704,542, dated July 15, 1902.
Application filed January 10, 1902. Serial No. 89,214. (No model.)
T0 to whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY J. JACOBS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Buffalo, New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clips for Upholstering Purposes, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to clips for upholstering purposes and similar uses, and more particularly relates to a clip to be used in combination with a staple-button, such as are in common use.
The object of my invention is to afford simple and eifective means for securing thesta-' ple-button and with it the upholstering material to any supporting wire or rod or to the springs themselves.
To that end my invention consists of the clip, as hereinafter described and adapted to the conditions of manufacture.
Referring to the drawings herewith, in which like characters of reference indicate like parts, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a lounge, showing in a cut-away portion the point of application of myinvention. Fig. 2 is a vertical section on the line a: 00, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail section, similar to Fig. 2, showing the details more clearly. Fig.
4. is an interior face view. Fig. 5 is a hori zontal detail section. Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 3, showing another form of use of my invention.
1 represents the slats of the lounge, upon which are mounted springs 2 in the ordinary manner.
3 is the edge wire to which the springs 2 are secured.
4 is the canvas or other material, which constitutes the under side or foundation of the tufting or upholstering, and 5 is the outside covering of any suitable material.
6 is the button-fastener or staple-button of the ordinary type, having two pointed legs to puncture the fabric and spread after insertion in the ordinary way.
Thus far I have indicated onlythe wellknown parts of a lounge, none of which are my present invention.
0 indicates my clip as a whole, which consistsof a wire bent to form a loop or a U, as clearly shown at 7. (See Fig. i.) The arms of the loop are then bent at right angles (or approximately so) to the plane of the loop and about parallel to each other, as shown at 8. (See Fig. 5.) The arms are then bent downward at about rightangles to lie in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of the loop, as shown at 9 in Figs. 3 and 4. The legs of the part 9 are slightly spread, the better to form a rest for the head of the button 6. The loop of the U should be sufficiently long to equal the diameter of the wire 3 and the width of the legsof the button 6,'as shown, and the plane of the loop should be distant from the plane of the legs 9 of the clip the diameter of the wire 3. The loop may be, as described, a U-bend or a V-bend or rectangular without departing from my invention, but Iprefer the U-bend.
In certain cases it is desirable to have the clip 0 engage both the edge wire 3 and the wire of the spring 2. This I have shown in Fig. 6. The construction of theclip is exactly the same, with the exception that the distance between the plane of the loop and the legs 9 isthat of the diameter of the edge wire plus that of the spring-wire 2.
The method of application is as follows: The canvas 4 or other foundation material and the cover 5 are fastened or tufted together by means of staple-buttons 6, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, or in any other suitable manner. The edges of the canvas and the cover are'then drawn down over the edge wire 3 to the point where they should-be'secured. A clip 0 is then put over the edge wire 3 in the position clearly shown in Fig. 3. A button 6 is then forced through both cover and canvas between the legs 9 of the clip, underneath the wire 3, and through the loop of the clip, as clearly shown in Figs. 3 and 4:- The legs of the button 6 are then bentoutwardlyfrom each other, as shown in broken lines in Fig. i and in full lines in Fig.6. This-at once secures the canvas and cover and the wire 3 to the button 6, but still permits of move ment of the clip longitudinally and circum ferentially on the wire, thus securing the upholstering to the wire and at the same time forming a union which is free in the directions in which the same should be free.
The method of application shown in Fig. 6 is so nearly identical as to require no separate description.
Having thus described my invention and its method of application, what I claim is 1. The herein-described means for securing upholstering and similar materials to wire or other framework, comprising the foundation material and covering, a staple-button, and a wire body, in combination with a clip engaging over said wire, a loop on said clip engaging the legs of the button, and legs on said clip which lie at right angles to the legs of said button and between said wire and the head of the button, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
2. A clip for securing upholstery and similar uses, in combination with a spring, an
