THOMAS H. SPARKS, OF NICHITA, KANSAS.
COLLAR OR CUFF BUTTON.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 11, 1907.
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, THOMAS H. SPARKS, a citizen of the United States, residing at l/Vichita, in the county'of Sedgwick and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful. Improvements in Collar or Cuff Buttons; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relatesto new and useful improvements in cuff and collar buttons, and the object in view is to produce a device of this character which may be readily inserted in a button-hole, and consists essentially of a base plate which is flat upon its under surface and is provided with an oval-shaped recess formed in one edge thereof, a portion of the base intermediate the marginal edge of the recess and its circumference forming a lip of thin metal, while the opposite wall is thickened, the upper surface of the base adjacent to said thickened portion inclining gradually so that the base may have a wedging action as the base is turned, whereby the edge of a button-hole may be held slightly open, to facilitate the insertion of the base through. the hole.
To these ends and such others as the invention may pertain, the same consists in the novel construction of the base plate of the button, all as will be more fully hereinafter described, shown in the accompanying drawings and then specifically defined in the appended claims.
The invention is shown in the accompanying drawings which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this specification and in which drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the but ton construction in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the button, the same being shown as tilted and in the position occupied in entering the button hole. Fig. 3 is a like view showing the button in the position which it assumes in removing the same from the button hole. Fig. 4 is a side view showing the tilted positions of the button in dotted lines and Fig. 5 is a plan view of the base plate of the button.
Reference now being had to the details of the drawing by letter, A designates the shank, B the head and C the base plate of the button. The head and shank of the button may be of any of the ordinary forms of construction, such as adapt the button for use either as a cuff, collar or other button and may be of any desired size and constructed of any material adapted to the purpose. The base plate C is perfcrably of thin metal and preferably of circular form. Upon one of its sides, the base plate is provided with an opening C, the entrance to said opening being of a width slightly greater than the width of the cloth or other material through which the base is designed to be inserted. From its entrance at the periphery of the base plate, the opening is enlarged as shown, the opening extending. inwardly to a distance sufficiently corresponding with the diameter ofthe button and terminating at a point below the center of the same. The arm D forming one side of the opening C, it will be noted is much narrower than the corresponding portion or arm E upon the opposite side and the said portion or arm E is provided and extending inwardly from its extreme outer end with a slightly upwardly inclined edge F.
From the foregoing description of the but ton, the operation or means of inserting or removing the same from a cuff or other article of clothing in connection with which it is used will be readily understood. It being designed to insert the button in the button hole, a slight depression upon the contracted arm D and a simultaneously rotary movement being given to the button will cause the end of the arm D to pass through the button hole, the inclined edge F serving to raise the opposite edge of the button hole a sufficient distance to permit the arm D to enter readily. The arm D having been inserted through the opening, a continued rotary movement being imparted to the shank of the button will cause the base plate to pass entirely therethrough and immediately after the arm D has passed through the button hole the arm will, by the resiliency of the metal, spring back into place. It will be evident that in removing the base plate it will simply be necessary to impart a rotary movement to the button until the inclined edge F engages the button hole as indicated in Fig. 3 of the drawings, when the lip will serve to hold the hole open a sufficient dis tance to permit the button to be removed by a further rotary movement being imparted thereto.
Having thus fully described my invention, whatI claim to be new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is A collar button having a base which is fiat upon its under surface and having an ovalshaped recess formed in said base, a portion of the base intermediate the marginal edge of the recess and the circumference of the base formed into a thin resilient lip, and the portion of the base opposite said resilient lip and forming a'portlon of the marginal Wall of the recess, being thickened and having its up per surface slightly inclined, a shank rising centrally from the base adjacent to the marginal edge of said recess, and a head upon said shank as set forth.
In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in the presence of two Witnesses. THOMAS H. SPARKS. Witnesses:
A. L. HOUGH, FRANKLIN H. HOUGH.
