FASTENER Fon TRUNK-TRAYS, ac.
SPECIFICATION fOrming part Of Letters Patent N0. 780,501, dated January 24, 1905'.
l Application iiled October v6, 1900. Serial No. 32,314.
To. all whom, t may cow/00774,:
Be it known that I, HENRY HTGGIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newport,
' in the county of Campbell and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fasteners for Trunk-Trays and the Like, of which the following is a specification.
. The object of my invention is to provide a clasp especially adapted for use on trunktrays; and my invention consists in the com# binations and arrangements of parts here-inafter described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectionof a trunk-.tray provided with a fastener embodying my invention; Fig. 2, a front elevation of the fastener; Fig. 3, a top plan view corresponding to Fig. 2, and Fig. l an enlarged detail section of the fastener.
To the top a of tray A is pivoted a link B, carrying a swinging cam-lever C, and the front a of the tray is provided with a stop D, adapted to be engaged by cam C. The fastening of link B to the top a is preferably accomplished by means of loop b, taking under and over top o and secured by rivet b.
At Zloop b is provided with stops to prevent the link B from swinging inwardly far enough to catch on the top of the front of the tray when the top a is being closed. The cam-lever C is of such length and width as to be free to swingthrough link B. Stop D preferably consists of a single piece of metal, shaped as shown, provided with tangs CZ, adapted to be driven into the top of thefront wall a of the tray'and secured at its bottom by rivet d. By this construction the under side of loop ZJ always contacts with the portion d2 of stop D, which extends over the top of wall a and as the projecting stop D is a constant distance from portion Z2 insures the proper distancing of stop D relatively to link B. When the top t is being lowered preparatoryto locking, stops b2 prevent links B from swinging in and engaging the top of wall a the downward movement of top a and.
link B will cause it to swing up and out through link B, thus becoming disengaged and falling down into close proximity to stop D, or, in other words, the downward movement of the top automatically and invariably brings the'engaging elements into locking proximity.
'It will be noted that when loop contacts with surface 2and cam-lever C is swung out until portion c is adjacent to stop D the link and cam may be freely swung past stop D, but that if oamlever C is forced down until portion c contacts with the front wall a when the cam is behind stop D the point @contacting withstop D, will serve as a fulcrum to the tension in link B to hold the cam in its locked position. Owing to the fact that link B is carried by top a and cam-lever C is carried by the free end of link B, the locking 1 manipulation is very simple and may be performed very easily with one hand. When it is desired to unclasp, the lever c is swung outwardly until the free end of the cam-lever is free to pass stop D.
I/Vhile my invention is especially adapted for use as a fastener for trunk-trays, it is obvious that 1t may be used 1n other connections ywhere ready fastening and unfastening is desired.
I claim as my 1nvent1onl. The combination in a fastening of a link Aadapted to be lengaged by the cam, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
