Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed August 26, 1905. Serial No.27as69.

I Patented June 19,

To all whom it'mwy cancer-Inf Be it known that I, FREDERIOK DRISSLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of NewYork and State New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Safety-Locks for Brooches, Scarf-Pins, and the Like, of which the following is a specification, such aswill enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This inventionrelates to brooches; scarfpins, and other devices of this class; and the object thereof is to provide a pin of this class with a safety lock or attachment whereby when the lock or attachment is in use the pin cannot be accidentally or otherwise detached; and with this and other objects in view the invention consists in a device of the class specified constructed as hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention is fully'disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawings form a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views and in which I Figure 1 is a side view of an ordinary brooch-pin provided with my improvement;

'Fig. 2, anend view looking in the direction of the arrow 00 of Fig. 1 Fig.3, a section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1; Fig. 4, an enlarged view similar to Fig. 2, but showing the lock in a different position; Fig. 5, a side view of the device 'as shown in Fig. 4; and Fig. 6 a view similar to Fig. 3, but showing the lock in a different position, and in the accompanying drawin s Figs. 4 to 6, inclusive, are on a scale lar er t an Figs. -1 to 3, inclusive.

n the drawings forming part of this specification I have shown at a the main part of an ordinary brooch, and said main art is pro, vided at one end and at the back t ereof with a stud a to which is pivoted a pin b, and the main part a of the brooch is provided at the opposite end or at the back thereof with a stud a having a hook memberafi, which the pointed end 0 the pin 1) is adapted to engage through an opening a in the usual manner and as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, and the stud a forms the base of the hook a Pivoted in the stud a? is a hook-arm c, having a shank 0 which asses through said stud, as clearly indicated Figs. 1, 3, and 5 and the shank c is provided at the end oppo ,site the hook-arm c with a lock-finger 0 The pointed end of the pin 1) and which the hookarm 0 is adapted to engage when the lock is n operation, as clearly indicatedin Figs. 2 an 3. The radius of the arc of movement of the free end of the hook-arm c is less than the dis tance between the lug or projection a and the point where the shank c of said arm pa through the stud a and'the free end 0 of he hook-arm c, which constitutes a part of the locking device, is curved upwardly and is adapted to pass over the lug or projection a when said hook-arm is in its operative position, and the hook a is also made slightly jectiona, which extends parallel with th elastic or resilient, so that the free end thereof "tion shown in Figs. 1 to 3, inclusive, the finger 0 which constitutes a part of the lock, will be thrown into the position shown in Figs 2 and 3,. andthe end thereof will be thrown approximately into enga ement with the free end of the hook a, as s own at d in Figs. 2 and 3.

In practice the pin 1) is passed through the material with which it is desired to connect the pin or brooch and is engaged with the hook a, as shown in Figs. 1 to 3, inclusive. In this operation the hook-arm c is in the position shown in Figs. 4 and 6. After the pin 6 has been engaged with the hook a as shown in Fi s. 2 and 3, the hook-arm 0 is forced forward y into the position shown in Figs. 2 and 3, and this substantially closes the opening at 0 made by the-hook a and through which the pointed end of the pin is passed into said hook, and when the parts are in this osi tion the pin 7) cannot be detached from t e hook at and the brooch will remain securely at tached to the garmentor article to which it is applied or to which it is secured. In order to release the in b from the hook a, thehookarm 0 must e forced backwardly into the po IIO locking=arm c, completes the loop formed by the hook member c.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a device of the class described, a loopshaped hook member open at one side and adapted to receive the pointed end of a pin, a locking-arm pivoted in the base of the hook member by means of a shank connected therewith and passing through said base, said shank being provided on the side of the baseof the hook member opposite the locking-arm with a locking-finger adapted to be thrown into approximate engagement with the end of the hook member so as to complete the loop formed thereby, and means whereby the lockin -arm may be engaged with the hook member when said arm and finger are in their operative positions, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention Ihave signed my name, in presence of the subscribing Witnesses, this 25th day of August, 1905.

FREDERICK DRISSLER.
