MITCHEL M. ASKEY, OF SHAWVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA.
BUCKLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 764,029, dated July 5, 1904.
Application filed December 24, 1903. SerialiNo. 186,457. (No model.)
To all whoml it may concern.-
Be it known that I, MITCHEL M. AsKEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Shawville, in the county of Clearfield and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Buckles; and I do 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.
This invention relates to improvements in buckles.
The object of the invention is to provide a buckle having a tongue so connected to the buckle as to be easily disengaged from the eyes or holes in the strap even thoughthe strap may be very tightly drawn.
A further object is to provide a buckle of this construction which will be simple, strong, and durable and adapted to be used for various purposes and in all places where the common form of buckle may be used.
With these and other objects in View the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, as will be more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims. In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a buckle embodying the invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional View showing the buckle closed on a strap. Fig. 3 is a similar View showing the manner of disengaging the tongue of the buckle from the strap. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a modified form of buckle.
Referring more particularly to the first three figures of the drawings, l denotes the frame of the buckle comprising the parallel side bars 2, which are here shown as curved downward slightly. The bars 2 are connected at their outer ends by cross-bars 3 and 3.
Midway between the ends of the bars 2 and at their lowest portions is arranged a crossbar 4, the ends of which pass through the side bars and form trunnions 5, on which are pivoted the side members or ends 6 of a bailshaped frame 7. On the cross-bar 8 of the frame 7 is pivote-d a tongue 9, which is adapted to engage the usual eyes or holes in the free end of the strap lO, as shown. The opd posite end of the strap is connected to the cross-bar 4 of the buckle in the usual manner.
The cross-bar 3 at the rear end of the side bars 2 forms a keeper, under which the end of the strap is passed after being engaged by the tongue of the buckle.
In Fig. 4is shown a slightly-modified form of buckle. In this instance the rear portion of the side bars 2 and rear cross-bar 3 of the frame is left off, and on the ends of the side bars 2 adjacent to the middle cross-bar 4 lare laterally-projecting lugs 12, forming stops against which the side members 6 of the bail 7 rest when said bail is swung back in opened position.
When it is desired to engage the end of the strap with the buckle, the bail 7, carrying the tongue, is swung upwardly and backwardly. The end of the strap is now passed through the buckle-frame in the usual manner, and the same is drawn up to the desired hole. The bail 7 is now swung forwardly and the tongue 9 pushed through said hole and into engagement with the forward cross-bar 3 of the frame l, thereby securing the strap. The end of the strap is now passed under the keeperbar 3', which holds it in place.
To release the strap, the end of the same is drawn from under the keeper-bar andthe bail 7 swung upwardly, which movement will draw the tongue 9 out of the hole in the strap to quickly and easily release the same even though the strap has been very tightly drawn.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and operation of the invention will be readily understood without requiring a more extended explanation.
Various changes in the form, proportion,
and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- Y l. A buckle comprising a main frame composed of side pieces and cross-bars, one of said cross-bars passing through said side bars, a
cross-bar and a tongue pivotally connected to the cross-bar of said bail-shaped frame, to be swung into engagement with the forward I5 end cross-bar of said frame, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
