SPECIFICATION forming' part of Letters Patent N' o. 730,614, dated J' une 9, 1903.
Application filed February 2,0, 1903. Serial No. 144,188. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom it may concern:
Beit known `that I, MARY A. COX, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Laces, of which the fol-f lowing is a specication, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to an improved Atip for shoe and other laces; and the primary object is to provide means for so securing the tip to the lace as to prevent its pulling oi under alll conditions of ordinary use and wear.
,In the accompanying` drawings, Figure l is an elevation, enlarged, of one end of a lace having the tip applied in accordance with my invention. Figs. 2 and 3 are sectional Views illustrating the manner in which the tip-fastener is applied. Fig. 4. is an inside face view of the blank before it is rolled about the end of the lace.
Referring to the drawings, 2 designates the lace, and 3 the sheet-metal tip adapted to be cured, is then rolled up into finishedform, with the pin-like staple-prongs completelyinclosed, as shown in Fig. 1. The tip is thus so securely fastened that ordinary endwise strains will not loosen the same, as before it can come off the staple-like fastening must split the lace to its extreme end.
The pin-like prongs'are preferably of such length as to nearly reach the tip ends, and in order to secure the strongest possible hold the fastening device is preferably inserted nearer the rear than the front end of the blank, with front prong 6 slightly longer than prong 7.
I am aware that prior to my invention lacetips have been' proposed wherein the tipblanks are formed with integral spurs to penetrate the lace. My invention diders therefrom in having a separate insertible fastener adapted to clench down on the lace and permanently hold the tip thereon. Such fastener also permits of the use of relatively long pin-like prongs, which it is impossible for the lace to disengage save by splitting.
I claim as my invention- 1. The combination of a lace, a rolled or bent-up tip adapted to embrace and inclose the lace extremity, and a detachable prong- .like fastener extended through the tip-blank and lace and bent toward the outer end of the tip with the lace betweenthe tip and prong, whereby when the tip is rolled or bent up the prong portion of the fastening is completely inclosed therein.
2. The combination of a lace, a rolled or bent-up tip adapted to embrace the lace extremity, and a staple-fastener having its prongs extended through the tip-blank and lace and bent in opposite directions toward the tip ends'withV the lace confined between the blank and prongs, whereby when the tip is rolled or bent up the staple-prongs are completely inclosed therein.
3. The combination of a lace, a rolled or bent-up tip adapted to embrace the lace eX- tremity and formed with two apertures, and a staple-fastener hav-ing slender or pin-like prongs extended through the tip-blank apertnresand vbent to confine the lace between the same and the blank, whereby when the tip is rolled or bent up the staple-prongs are completely inclosed therein.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
MARY A. COX.
