CARRIE A. LAW, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
GARMENT-FASTENEB.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 5, 1909.
Application filed July 2, 1908. Serial No. 441,679.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CARRIE A. LAW, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Ihiladelphia, in the county of rhiladelphia and State of r ennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Garment-Fastener, of which the following is a specification.
Objects of the present invention are to provide a comparatively simple and attractive device for fastening garments which may take the place of a button or stud and which is easily buttoned and unbuttoned and will not become detached or injured by the process of washing and ironing, and which may be easily, yet very firmly, secured to the garment or other object.
The invention will be claimed at the end hereof, but the embodiment of it chosen for illustration will be first described in connection with the drawings, in which- Figure 1, is a top or plan view of a fastener embodying features of the invention. Fig. 2, is a side view of the same. Fig. 3, is a top view of the head of the fastener. Fig. 4, is a perspective view of the shank of the fastener, Figs. 5 and 6, are sectional views showing the fastener attached to a garment and arranged in two positions, and Fig. 7, is a sectional view illustrating an arrangement hereinafter described.
The fastener comprises a head 1, provided with openings or slots 2 and 3, between which is a bar 1. The form of the head may be varied and it may be ornamented as desired, so long as it is provided with a bar, the necessity and utility of which will be hereinafter described and from that description an understanding of what is meant by a bar will be obvious.
, 5, is a tubular shank in the sense that it is provided through it with an opening for a purpose to be presently described. The shank 5, is shown as somewhat flattened. The head and shank may be constructed of any appropriate material which possesses the requisite strength and other qualities.
6, is a tie-piece of which the bight overlies the bars, and the ends pass through the shank. The tie-piece may consist of tape or other appropriate flexible material. In use the ends 7 of the tie-piece are secured to the garment 8, as by sewing and they may be arranged as shown in Figs. 5 and 6 between the folds of the garment.
In use the fastener may be said to usually occupy the position shown in Fig. 2, but it is capable of occupying the position shown in Fig. 5, so that in washing and ironing it, as it were, folds down onto the garment out of the way. The head of the fastener may be moved into the position shown in Fig. 6, and in that position it can be readily passed through a button hole whereupon it assumes the position shown in Fig. 2, and operates much like a button or stud. The shank 5, plays its part in the described operations and in addition it protects the tape or tie-piece from wear and it also adds to the appearance of the fastener. The ends of the tie-piece are shown as spread apart and then secured to the garment, but they may not be spread apart, and in that case can be secured both together to the garment. Fig. 7, the arrangement of the ends being a matter of detail.
In some cases as where the device is used as a collar or cufi' button and therefore goes through the laundry, use may be made of a loop 9, consisting of a piece of tape secured at its ends to the garments and of such length that the head and shank may be readily inserted under and withdrawn from it. The loop when present serves to hold the device in flattened position, in which it does not proieot more than does an ordinary button.
What I claim is 1. A fastener consisting of a head provided with a bar and passages or slots, a shank separate from the head havii' g an opening through it, and a tie-piece of which the bight erg gas the bar and the ends pass through the passages or slots and through the shank and afford attachirg means, substantially as described.
2. A garment fastener comprising a head, a shank separate from the head having a passage through it, and a flexible tie-piece engaging the head, passing through the shank and arranged to constitute fastening means, substantially as described.
3. A garment fastener comprising a head, a shank having a passage through it, a flexible tie-piece engaging the head and passing through the shank and arranged to constitute fastening means, and a loop adapted to overlie the device when in flattened position, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of witnesses.
CARRIE A. LAIV.
