SEPARABLE FASTENER.
Specication of Letters Patent.
Patented April 2, 190'?.
Application filed April l1, 1906. Serial No. 311,163.
To @ZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, SOLOMON HAINsFUR- THER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Winchester, in the county of Scott and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Separable Fastener, of which the following is a specihcation.
This invention relates to separable fasteners for use on overshoes, shoes, coats, te.; and its object is to provide a fastener formed of two parts which can be readily brought together and secured automatically in any position to which they may be adjusted.
A further object is to provide a novel form of keeper for locking the two members in adjusted position.
The invention is more p articularly an improvement upon the device described and claimed in Patent No. 794,098, granted to me on July 4, 1905, and consists of a toothed tongue adapted to be inserted into a sleeve, in which is mounted a resilient keeper having a guide at one end for receiving the tongue, said guide normally projecting beyond the sleeve, so as to form a finger-piece to facilitate the operation of releasing the keeper from the tongue.
The invention also consists of certain other novel features of construction and combinations of parts, which will be hereinafter more fully described, and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings is shown the preferred form of the invention.
In said drawings, Figure l is a longitudinal section through the fastener. Fig. 2 is a transverse section therethrough on line :12, Fig. l. Fig. 3 isa perspective view of the sleeve and keeper inverted. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the tongue. Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. l and showing a slightlymodified construction. Fig. 6 is a similar view showing another modified construction, and Fig. 7 is a transverse section through another modification in which the spring-keeper and the sleeve are shown integral.
Referring to the figures by numerals of reference, A is a receiving member comprising a plate l, having guide-flanges 2, which are connected at one end by a cross-strip 3. Secured to this cross-strip is one end of a spring-keeper 4, which bears at its other end upon an inclined cross-strip 3a, connecting iianges 2. The free end of the spring has a sleeve 5, which surrounds and normally projects above the plate l and constitutes a hnger-piece to facilitate the depression of spring 4. This spring is secured to the sleeve 5 by means of solder, as shown in Figs. l to 6 but, if preferred, may be formed integral therewith, as shown in Fig. 7. A tooth 6 extends from the spring 4 at a point within the sleeve 5 and normally rests close to the plate l. A contracted opening is thus produced between the spring 4 and the plate 1, and into this opening is adapted to be inserted the member B, comprising a tongue 7, hav"- ing a series of teeth 8 struck therefrom and adapted to successively engage the tooth 6. This tongue has one end enlarged7 as shown at 9, and provided with an eye 10, so that it can be conveniently secured to a garment, and another eye 1l is formed in the secured end of the spring 4 for a similar purpose.
In using the fastener herein described the members A and B are secured to the parts to be fastened together and the tongue 7 is inserted over cross-strip 3aL through the sleeve 5 and between tooth 6 and the plate 1, and by sliding this tongue longitudinally its tooth 8 will slip over the teeth 6 and these teeth will engage, so as to prevent the withdrawal of the tongue after it has once been adjusted. If it is desired to detach the two members, the sleeve or finger-piece 5 is depressed, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. l, until it contacts with the plate l, and this action will impart sufficient movement to the spring 4 to withdraw its tooth 6 from engagement with the teeth 8, and the tongue 7 can therefore be readily withdrawn from between the flanges 2 and out of the sleeve 5.
All parts of the fastener can be readily struck from sheet metal, and as the entire fastener is formed of three pieces-to wit, the plate and its flanges, the keeper, and the tongue-it will be obvious that there is no danger of it getting out of order and that the fastener will be not only effective and compact, but will also be very durable and inexpensive.
While the two members have been shown curved, the invention is not restricted to such a form, because the members can be made straight without changing the construction or arrangement of the parts thereof. Illustration of this form of fastener is therefore deemed unnecessary.
In order that the depression of the springkeeper will not be interfered with or pre- ICO IIO
vented by the clothing back of vthe fastener-guide, flanges 2 may be extended be yond the keeper, as shown in Fig. 5, and notched, asat 12, to receive the sleeve 5 and permit the spring-keeper to lie between and removed from the edges of the flanges. With this construction the keeper or spring 4 can be pushed toward the edges of the flanges a sufficient distance to release the spring '7 without, however, assing from between the flanges. In this 'gure I have shown the spring-keeper 4 formed with a tooth, whereas the tongue 13 has a series of apertures 14 therein, any one of which may be engaged by the tooth on the keeper. Instead of forming the tooth on the springkeeper said keeper may be provided with ap ertures 15, as shown in Fig. 6, any one of which may be engaged by a tooth 16 on the tongue 17.
1. A fastener comprising a plate having connected guide-flanges, a resilient keeper secured between the flanges and having a tooth thereon normally adjacent the plate, a combined sleeve and finger-piece at the free end of the keeper and normally projecting beyond the plate and a toothed tongue adapted to be inserted through the sleeve and between the keeper and plate for engagement by the tooth on the keeper.
2. A separable fastener comprising a plate having guide-flanges, a spring secured at one end between the flanges and having a tooth normally adjacent the plate, said spring terf minating in a combined sleeve and fingerpiece normally projecting beyond the face of the plate, and a toothed tongue insertible 1 through the sleeve and between the toothed spring and the plate.
3. In a fastener of the character described, a receiving member comprising a plate having parallel connected flanges, a spring secured at one end between the flanges, the free end of the spring having an integral sleeve constituting a finger-piece rojecting normally beyond the face of the p ate, there being an integral retaining-tooth upon the spring normally disposed adjacent the plate.
4. A separable fastener comprising a plate having guide-anges, a spring secured at one end between the flanges, said spring terminating in a combined sleeve and finger-piece normally projecting beyond the face of the plate, and a tongue insertible through the sleeve and between the spring and plate, said tongue and spring having means for automatically engaging to lock them normally against separation.
5. A separable fastener comprising a plate having notched guide-flanges, a spring secured at one end between the flanges, said spring terminating in a combined sleeve and linger-piece normally projecting beyond the face of the plate, and a tongue insertible through the sleeve. and between the spring and plate, said tongue and spring having means for automatically engaging to lock them normally against separation.
In testimony that I claimthe foregoing as my o wn I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
