COLLAR FASTENER.

APPLICATIOK FILED JULY 25, 1905.

SAMUEL REDPATH HEWITT, OF BELFAST, IRELAND.

COLLAR-FASTENER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 29, 1907.

Application tiled July 25, 1905. Serial No. 271.197.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL Rnnrarn ffnwrrr, a subject of the King of England, residing at Belfast, Ireland, have invented certain new and useful lm provements in Collar-Fasteners; and l do hereby declare the following to be a full, ('ltlli. and exaet description of the invention, sut-h as will enable others skilled in the art to whieh it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention has relation to that. elass or kind of eollar-fasteners that eomprise a plate or member that is adapted to rest against the inner side of the neek-band of the shirt. and a second plate or number that is adapted to rest against the outside of the eollar, the

two plates being et'nineeted through the ititt rvention of means hinged or pivottd to the upper edge of the illStFlilOlitlOIlCtl member and like-wise eonneeted to the lower edge of the seeond member, a st ud eonneeted with-one member being adapted to pass through the buttonholes of the eollar and neek-band and to be t'otlnet'ted to the opposite member.

It is the objeet of the invention to provide improvements in the kind of t'ollar fasteners spt-eilied that will relieve them of lninehiness, by freeing the two elasping plates. when the device is applied, from any intervenmeaus excepting the stud that passes through the button-holes.

The nature of the invention is fully and elrarly as eertainable from the devit-e portrayed in the annexed drawings, forming apart of this spreitieation in view of whieh it will first be deseribed Willi respeet to its eon struetion and mode of use and then be pointrd out in the subjoined claims. I

Of the said drawings l igure l a vertieal seetional view through the (l(-\'it't when the same is in its elosed position. and she 'ing also a seetion through the net-k band and ('ollar with whit-h the devie trate the applieatieu of the various parts th: lttlf.

used. to illus- Fig.

2 is an elevation of thr deviee with its in: tubers swung apart. the deviee being arrai 'ed in a horizontal plane.

Similar numerals of referenee designate similar parts or features, as the ease may be, wh l( \t r they oeeur.

ulteferring now more partieularly to the annexed drawings, it will be seen that the sowalled bod) portion of my fastener is eomposed preferably of a single piece of wire t bent into approximalely reetangular shape thus forming an open wire frame. The

end portions

2 and 3 are slightly bent. or offset laterally in planes at a right angle to the sides l and 5.

Pi'votally secured in any suitable manner to the offset portion 2 of the body portion is plate 6 provided with i l l t l i an eye '7 for the reeeption of the stud S of the plate 9 when the button is in its fastened position. The stud l 8 is provided with a nott-h or annular groove 9 in its outer portion. leaving a head on its extremity to engage the perforation 7 of the plate (3 to prevent at'eidental disengagement, of the button when in loeked posit ion. This stud isdesigned to be sprungor snapped into engagement with the said perforation of the plate (5.

When the deviee is to be used, the plate (S is disposed between the net-k of the wearer and the net-k band 10 with the perforation 7 in said plate alining with the but ton-hole of the neelebaud. The sides 1 and 5 of the body portion 1 are then swung downward to int-lose the neek band between the same and plate (5, as shown in Fig. l. The ends of the eollar are then brought together with their button holes in line with the neek band button hole and the perforation 7 in plate ti. when plate 5) will be folded upward against said t'ollar ends in the manner shown in Fig. l, and the stud S on the said plate t) passed through the said button holes and the pt rforation and retained in plae'e by means of its head fl, and groove t), whit-h is engaged in the perforation T of plate (3.

To remove the fastener it is only ntetssary to swing plate 9 outward when its stud S will be at onee disengaged from plate '7 and withdrawn from the various buttonholes. The (-ollar ends are thus reltased from engagement with the net-k band of the shirt. and the fastener may be removed from the neek-band.

lly providing the stud S with a groove 5), a snap eonneetion is formed between the same and the perforation in plate (5, as before stated and the formation of a post or other positive retaining lllt ans upon said plate is rtndered tltitltt'tsszttlV. lt will be seen therefore that the fastening means for the two plates when applied is inueh more simple in eonstruetion than the ftatures for a similar purpose now in use \Yhat is elaimed is i\ t'ollar fastener eomprisin: a bod v portion eousisting of a substantialtv reetangular open wire frame. with its ends bent outward to offset tlie same in opposite direetions: 2. plate provided with an aperture hingedlv eonneeted at. its upper end with the upper offset end of the frame-bed and a seeond plate provided with a loeking stud hingedtv eonneeted at its lower end with the lower offset end of said tI'HIIItdHMl V, anti the end of the said stud being adapted to effet't a snap engagement with the firstmentioned plate through the perforation formed in the latter.

In testimony whereof. I :itlix my signature, in presenee of two witnesses.
