CHARLES JOHN GUSTAFSON, OF ASHTABULA, OHIO.
POCKET-BOOK CLASP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 715,573, dated December 9, 1902. l
Application filed March 6, 1902- Serial No. 96,960. (No model.)
To a. whom it may concern;
Be it known that I, CHARLES JOHN Gus- TAFSON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Ashtabula, inthe county of Ashtabula and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clasps for Pocket-Books, of which the followingis a specification.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in clasps for pocketbooks, satchels, wallets, and analogous articles.
The object of this invention is to provide a clasp in which the entire outer surface is free from-projections and presents no visiblemeans for opening it when in a locked position.
Afurther object is to so construct a pocketbook clasp that it may be adapted for two compartments, permitting the opening of either compartment independently of the other.
The invention consists of a pocket-book clasp having two bow-wings pivotally connected at their ends to permit them to open outwardly and a central bow carrying at opposite sides a latch to engage with a corre-. sponding lip on the under inner edges of the bow-wings, the said central bow being divided in cross-section at its center, for the purpose hereinafter set forth.
In the drawings similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the clasp applied to a pocket-book. Fig. 2 shows a part of one of the wing-bows. Fig. 3 shows a portion of each section of the central bow.
Fig. 4 shows the clasp in cross-section at line a? a; of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 shows the clasp in crosssection at line y y of Fig. 1.
In the drawings, A A represent the central bow, divided in cross-section at g, and B B the bow-wings,which are pivotally connected applied at g to sectionAthe latch Fis dis engaged, permitting the wing-bow B to be opened. The sections of the central bow A are rigidly fastened at tto the cross-pieces O, thus holdingsaid sections in permanent horizontal position when either or both of the wing-bows are open. When it is desired to close the pocket-book, the wing-bows are pressed against the central bow, when the latches F F will engage the lips E E, the free ends of the central bow having sufficient resilience to permit the engagement.
'3' represents the fabric of which the body of the receptacle may be formed, said fabric being attached to the clasp-frame in any approved and well-known manner. r
The advantages of this invention are that it presents no raised surface to catch adjacent objects, is neat in appearance, simple of construction, secure, and yet easily operated by any one familiar with it.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A clasp for pocket-books and analogous receptacles having acentral bow divided in cross-section at the center, carrying at the free end of each section a latch, oppositely disposed, the extreme ends of said sections being rigidly fastened to cross-pieces, as described and for the purpose set forth.
2. A clasp for pocket-books and analogous receptacles having two wing bows along whose inner lower edges, at fractional distances from their endsare supporting-ribs which are integral with said wing-bows, said ribs being provided for the support of the sections of the central bow, as shown and described.
3. The combination with a pocket-book or analogous receptacle of a'clasp having the central bow divided in cross-section, latches at the free end of each section of said central bow to engage with a lip which is integral with the.lower inner edge of each wing-bow, as shown and described. a
4. The combination with a pocket-book or other analogous receptacle, of a clasp having a central bow, divided in cross-section, two Wing-bows provided with ribs for the support of the sections of the central bow, the
IQ said wing-bows being pivotally connected at their ends to cross-pieces, as shown and for purpose described.
Signed at Ashtabula, in the county of Ashtabula and State of Ohio, this 2d day of February, A. D. 1901.
CHARLES JOHN GUSTAFSON.
