FASTENlNG FOR OARRlAGE-CURTAINS OR THE LIKE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 778,649, dated December 27, 1904.
Application filed December 12 T all. whom, it may concern/.-
Be it known that 1, CHARLES E. FLORES, a citizen o-f-the United States, residing at Battlecreek, in the county of Madison and State of Nebraska, have invented new and useful 1m provements in Fastenings for Carriage-Curtains or the Like, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to fastenings for car- IO riage-curtains and the like; and the primary object of the same is to provide an eyelet for cooperation with a carriage-securing button or knob with automatically-operating locking means for engaging the head of the button or knob to prevent accidental separation of the curtain from the button.
A further objectof the invgntipn-iste; pro="i' vide a fastening meansdii connection with a carriage-curtain to cooperate with a button or knob, which is capable of being quickly o'peifi ated to secure or release'a curtain Lmdawhich"' may be used with the ordinary form of button Vith these and other objects and ad vantages. in view the invention consists in the construction and arrangement of parts. which will be, more fully hereii'iafter set forth.
1n the drawings, Figure 1 is a detail perspective view of a fastening embodying the features of the invention and shown open. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the fastening shown closed. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on line 3 3 of Fig. 2 of the fastening and a portion of the curtain to which it is applied arranged in operative relation to a curtain button or knob.
Similar numerals are employed to indicate corresponding parts in the several views.
The numeral 1 designates a flat eyelet-plate having spurs or securing prongs2 proje qting from the periphery thereof and insertible through a curtain 3 around the usual buttonopening +1, as many of the fastenii'igs being employed as there are openings in the curtain. The prongs 2 are bent against the inner side of the curtain, and, as shown by Fig. 3, may be drawn over the periphery of an annular wear-plate 5, forming a reinforce at the inner portion of the curtain around the opening a. The flat eyelet plate has a keyhole-slot 6 formed eccentrically therein, the eccentricity 1903. Serial 110184896.
" of this slot permitting the curtain to be drawn down to tighten it when secured. The eyeletplate 1 also has an outstanding lug or projection 7, having its one end 8 forming a shoulder in relation to the plate. This lug or projection 7 is integral with the plate, being formed by slitting the plate and bending outward a portion of the metal thereof, thereby leaving a slot or opening 7 in the plate. A latch 9 is pivoted at one end to the plate 1 at a point opposite the lug or projection 7 and formed with a slot or throat 10 to fit over the shank 11 of a curtain button or knob 12. The latch 9 is constructed of spring metal and is attached to the plate to one side of the slot 6, the lug or projection 7 being on the other side of' thesaid sl'ot adjacent to the periphery of the plate 1. The latch is formed with a projec ting arm 13, terminating in an outwardlybentdinger-piece 14:, the upper shorter edge 1 56f the arm contacting with the shoulder 8 of the Luger projection 7 when the latch is closed? The arm 13 of the latch is long enough to extend over the periphery of the eyelet-plate 1 for convenience in operating the same, and when said latch is closed the upper terminal of the slot or throat 10 therein forms, with the lower reduced portion of the keyhole-slot 6, a circular opening, as shown by Fig. 2, of less diameter than the head of the button or knob 12.
The curtain having the improved fastening applied thereto is pulled down sufiiciently to cause the head of the button or knob 12 to pass through the upper enlarged portion of the keyhole-slot 6, the latch 9 having been first opened or thrown back, as shown by Fig.
-; I1'. The curtain is then released, and the device thereon pulls the shank of the button or knob downwardly into the reduced part of the keyhole. The latch 9 is then closed and moves over the lug or projection 7 until the upward locking edge 15 of the arm 13 is in line with the shoulder 8 of said lug or projection, when the arm 13 of the latch springs inwardly automatically and secures the latch in locked position over the button or knob 12.
\Vhen the latch is closed, as above described,
the wall of the throat 1O draws the shank of the button down into the reduced portion of the keyhole-slot and in so doing draws upon the curtain to stretch the same tau t. this action being due, as will be readily understood, to the eccentric arrangement of the keyhole-slot and the peculiar form of the throat 1.0. In releasing the fastening the arm 13 is drawn outward until the shoulder of the lug or projection 7 is cleared, and the latch is then turned backwardly toward the right to fully expose the keyhole-slot 6 and permit the curtain to be drawn downwardly and release the same from the curtain button or knob.
The improved fastening is simple in its construction and can be readily applied at a minimum cost. By its use a curtain is prevented from becoming torn or worn at the points where it engages the curtain buttons or knobs, and the main advantage of the fastening is that a curtain will be reliably held in secured position and cannot work loose and become detached.
Advantages in the proportions and dimensions may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is- A fastening for carriage-curtains comprising a plate having attaching-prongs projecting therefrom, said plate being formed with an eccentrically-arranged keyhole-slot adapted to register with a buttonhole in the curtain, a latch pivoted to said plate and formed with a throat to register with the lower portion of the keyhole-slot and to engage the shank of the curtain-button inserted therein and the latch having a laterally-projecting arm, said latch being adapted to coact with said eccentric slot to draw the curtain taut, and a catch integral with and projecting from the plate, said catch being arranged to engage the latch at the junction of the plate and the said arm to hold said latch in locking position.
In testimony whereof I aifix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
CHARLES E. FLORES.
