PLATE AND WEB 'FOR GARMENT-CLASPS.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERMAN E. CRANDALL, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Britain, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Plates and l/Vebs for Garment-Clasps, of which the following is a specification.

My invent-ion relates to improvements in plates and webs for garment clasps, and the object of my improvement is to avoid the expense of tipping the end of the web, or sewing the web to the plate.

In the accompanying drawing: Figure l is a front elevation of a plate and button, together with a portion of the web to which the said plate is attached. Fig. 2 is a like view of the said plate and button, without the web. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the same on the line a:a: of Fig. '2, together with a sectional view of a portion of the web as threaded through one of the eyes of the plate and an elevation of the button belonging to the said plate. Fig. 4 is a front elevation of the said plate and button, with the two end portions of the web, the lower end of the web being shown as. completely passed through the lower eye of the plate, and the upper end as partially passed through the upper eye of the plate. Figs. 5 and 6 are front elevations or plan views of plates with out the button and with modified forms of eyes. Fig. 7 is an enlarged vertical section of the plate and web of Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4, the button being shown in side elevation.

A, designates the web and B the plate, to which plate, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7, an ordinary button or stud 13, is secured. These plates are designed to be attached to the lower end 14 of the web A of a garment supporter. In some cases the plate and web have heretofore been secured together by providing a plate with a broad lower eye having upwardly projecting. prongs at its lower edge for penetrating the web which extended through the said eye. In some cases they have been secured together by passing the end of the web through one or both eyes of the plate and then sewing the web. In

some cases a'metal or other special tip has been secured to or formed on the end of the web, so that when the web was drawn taut, the end would not pull through the eyes of the plate. Such plates have had their eyes made in the form of slots of substantially the same width from end to end, the width being Specification of Letters Patent.

some four to six times the thickness of the web to which the plates were attached. My

.plates are in general of the ordinary form.

would be very difficult, if not im ossible, to

pass the end of the web througr the eye. The provision which I make for threading the web is to form an enlarged threading portion 16, preferably at one end of the eye, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 4, the width of this enlargement is several times the thickness of the web A, so that one corner of one end of the web can readily be passed through the eye at the said enlarged or wider portion. Then, by taking hold of this corner so passed through, the web may be pulled or drawn through the eye, as shown for the lower end 14 of the web in Fig. 3. The end 14 is so passed through the lower eye from the front and is turned up against the rear of the plate B, as shown best in Fig. 7. The upper end 17 of the web is then carried downwardly and back of the plate and is threaded through the upper eye from the rear. In Fig. 4, I have shown one corner of this upper end 17 projected through the enlarged threading portion of the eye, preparatory to drawing the web tightly through so as to fill substantially the eye for its whole length, as shown in Fig. 1. It is then drawn up tightly as shown in Fig. 7, when owing to the narrow portions of the eyes and the bends of the web, the plate is attached to the web so firmly that it cannot be ulled off nor otherwise become accidentally etached andthis without sewing the web together or without providing the web with any kind of a tip that differs in any way from the body of the web and without the employment of web enetrating prongs.

In Figs. 5 and 6, the Bp ates are designated respectively as B B B, B, and B In Fi 5 the narrow ortions 15 are at each enc of the eyes whi e the wider portion or enlargement 16 is in the middle of the length of each eye. In Fig. 7, both eyes have the narrow ortions 15 with enlarged portions 16 at t e ends. In Fig. 6, both eyes have the enlarged portions 16 in the middle and narrow portions 15 at the ends.

In all of the forms shown the web is threaded through the eye by first passing one parts of the eyes.

In the forms shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the web is held or gripped at both edges by each of the eyes there shown. In the form shown in Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive and in Fig. 7, the web is gripped by one edge within the lower eye and by its opposite edge within the upper eye, so that the two eyes together grip the Web firmly at opposite edges. In addition to the foregoing, the gripping portion of each eye extends over more than half of the length of the said eye, so that the web is firmly gripped not only at its opposite edges but for its entire width.

I claim as my invention:

1. In a garment clasp, a plate having eyes and a supporting web to one end of which the said plate is attached, the said eyes each having a narrow web gripping portion that extends throughout half the length of the said eyes, and an enlarged threading portion at one end of each eye, the said threading portions of the said eyes being arranged substantially at the diagonally opposite corners of the said plate, whereby the web is firmly gripped for its entire width.

2. In a arment clas a plate having a button stud projecting rom its front side, a horizontally extended eye above the said button stud and another horizontally extended eye below the said button stud, each of the said eyes having an enlarged threading portion and a narrow gripping portion, the said two eyes being arranged in the said plate with a narrow gripping portion at one end of one eye near one side of the said plate, and a narrow gripping portion at one end of one eye near the opposite side of the said plate, and a supporting web to one end of which the said plate is attached and held by having the said end threaded therethrough and gripped at its opposite edges.
