TONGS FOR POLISHING BUTTONS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed August 7, 1907.
Patented Dec. 8, 1908.
Serial No. 387,408.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM TILsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Glenalum, county of Mingo, and State of West Virginia, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Tongs for Polishing Buttons, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a new and useful im rovement in tongs for polishing buttons, an has for its object to provide an exceedingly sim le and effective device of this description y which buttons may be polished without removal from the garment and without injury to the garment.
With these ends in view, this invention consists in the details of construction and combination of elements hereinafter set forth and then specifically designated by the claim.
In order that those skilled in the art to which this invention a pertains may understand how to make and use the same, I will describe its construction in detail, referring by letter to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this speclfication, in which Figure 1, is a s1de view of my improved tongs showing the jaws open, and Fig. 2, is an edge view thereof.
In carrying out my invention as here embodied, A and B represent the two jaws of the tongs which are pivoted at C, each having a handle D by which the jaws may be closed, and E is a spring interposed between the handles so as to normally open the jaws and permit them to be closed by compressing said spring.
The jaw A has a V-shaped notch a formed therein while the jaw B has a corresponding 40 V-shaped notch 1) formed therein, and the object of these notches is to surround the shank of the button leaving the head on one sidp of the jaws and the garment on the ot er.
F and F represent lips secured in any convenient manner to the jaw B upon one side thereof so as to overlap the upper jaw when the latter is closed and thus protect the garment from the polishing ,material while the button is being polished, as will be readily understood. I
In practice the jaws are inserted between the button and the garment and closed so that the notches a and b will surround the shank leaving the garment upon one side and the button upon the other, after which the button may be polished by the application of any suitable powder or other polishing material.
In order that the jaws may not be opened unduly by the spring I form the lugs G on each of the jaws which will come in contact with the opposing lugs upon the handles thus limiting this opening movement.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and useful, is
Tongs of the character described composed of two pivoted jaw members each formed of a plate of metal having a handle at one end, an enlarged jaw at the other end, and integral opposite stops at an intermediate point, the stops of one member engaging with those of the other member, each of said jaws being provided with a V-shaped notch on its inner face, a pair of lips carried by one of said jaws said lips being formed of a flat plate of metal of rectangular shape secured on the outer face of said last named jaw to have their inner ends disposed at the outer termination of said V-shaped notch of said aw, and fastening means to secure each li in position.
In testimony whereof, have hereunto affixed my signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
WILLIAM TILSON.
