NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT,
A CORPORATION OF CONNECTICUT.
CURTAlN-FASTENER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 18, 1906.
Application filed May 29,1906. Serial No. 319,287.
To to whom it ntcty concern.-
Be it known that I, HEBER A. HoPKnNs, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of est Roxbury, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Curtain-Fasteners, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a curtain-fastener, with the object in view of providing a simple and efficient fastener which will be durable and present a neat attractive appearance.
A practical embodiment of my invention is represented in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a face view of the fastener as it appears in use in locked adjustment. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the button in unlocked adjustment. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section. Fig. 4 is a transverse section; and Fig. 5 is a partial view in side elevation, partly in section, on the line 90 x, Fig. l.
The body or shank of the fastener is denoted by 1 and is here shown as elongated oval in shape to receive the oval opening in the curtain 2. The bottom or inner face of the shank 1 may be provided with retainingpoints 3 to assist in holding the shank against lateral displacement. Through the shank 1 there is a hole 4 for the reception of the binding-screw 5, to be hereinafter more particu larly referred to, and the center part of the hole 4 is enlarged to receive the inner end of a sleeve 6, which is intended to be set in the shank with a drive fit. The sleeve 6 is extended outwardly to form a spindle for the support of the button 7. The button 7 is elongated oval and tapered as it extends outwardly, its base being preferably shaped to conform to the shank 1, so that the curtain may be readily slipped over the button and shank when in the position shown in Fig. 2.
The button rotates on the sleeve 6 and is held normally pressed outwardly against a flange 8 at the outer end of the sleeve by means of a spring 9, seated in a recess 10 in the top of the shank and in a recess 11 in the button 7 around the sleeve 6. It is intended that the button, in addition to its rotary movement on the sleeve, shall have a limited sliding movement outwardly and inwardly, preferably a distance about equal to the thickness of the flange 8 on the sleeve for the purpose of locking and releasing the button.
To effect this, the flange is provided with one or more slots 12, in the present instance two slots extending diametrically across the outer end of the sleeve at right angles to each other.
and the button is provided with one or more.
lugs or projections 13 on its outer end, adapted to fit the slots in the sleeve. The screw 5 has a head 14, which overlaps the outer end of the sleeve 6 and extends through the sleeve and shank 1 into the part 15, Which supports the fastener and holds the sleeve firmlylocked to the shank.
In operation, the button having been turned into the position shown in Fig. 2, the curtain may be slipped over it onto the shank 1, and the button may be then given a quarter-turn by simply pressing it inwardly to release it from the sleeve into the position shown in Fig. 1, and when pressure is removed the spring 9 will force the button outwardly into locked position. Any pressure on the curtain tending to pull the curtain off the fastener will only tend to hold the button more securely locked to the sleeve, while any pull laterally will be taken by the shank without in any manner disturbing the security of the fastening.
It is obvious that changes might be resorted to in the form of the several parts Without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention. Hence I do not wish to limit myself strictly to the structure shown and described; but
What I claim is I '1. A fastener comprising a shank, a spindle set in the shank and provided with a recess in its outer end, a button mounted on the spindle and provided with a projection to enter the recess in the spindle and a spring for actuating the button.
2. A fastener comprising a shank, a sleeve set in the shank and provided with a recessed flange at its outer end, a button mounted on thesleeve and provided with a projection to enter the recess in the sleeve and a fastening device extending through the sleeve and shank into engagement with the fastenersupport.
3. A fastener comprising a shank elongated in cross-section, a button correspondingly elongated in cross-section, a flanged sleeve extending through the button into the shank and forming a spindle on which the button mayrotateand slide, the buttonand I my invention 1 have signed my name, in the sleeve being provided the one with a propresence of two witnesses, this 26th day of j ection and the other with a recess, a spring May, 1906.
