UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
THEOPHILUS R. HYDE, J'It, OF WATERBURY, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR TO SCOVILL MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF WATERBURY, CONNECTICUT, A CORPORATION OF SNAP-FASTENER.
To all whom it may concern;
Beit known that I, THEOPHIL'US R. HYDE, Jr., a citizen of the United States, residing at Waterbury, in the county of New Haven. and State of Connecticut, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Snap-Fasteners, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
r This invention relates to that class of separab'le garment fasteners or buttons in which a-resilient socket member is employed, and the invention herein is in the nature of a modification of the invention forming the subject of the patent of Frank E. Warner, granted May 15, 1906, No. 820,612. In this invention, as in the W'arner invention, the stud-engaging element is formed of a fold having a standing member and a free member, both of which are slitted radially to obtain the resilience necessary to permit the engagement and disengagement of the stud With the socket member, and to insure a practical permanence of this resilience, or, in other words, to avoid the setting of the spring that seems to be due to the taxing of the metal of the spring beyond its elastic limit by the repeated engagement and disengagement of the two parts and the strains to which they are subjected thereby and by use.
The invention consists of a socket-piece of a snap-fastener having a stud-opening surrounded by an upright or perpendicular studengaging device constructed by folding the metal upon itself to form a standing fold and a free fold, both of which folds are slitted radially and are parallel with the vertical axis or axial line passing centrally through the stud opening in the direction of the entrance and exit of the stud, all as I will proceed now more particulalry to set forth and finally claim.
' In the accompanying drawings, illustrating the invention, in the several figures of which like parts are similarly designated, Figure 1 shows in cross section, reading down, the top, the tubular dome, and the socket-piece, respectively. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the tubular dome and socket- Specification of Letters Patent.

down, and showing the top, dome, and socket-piece, respectively, of another form of the invention. Fig. 6 is an elevation showing the dome and socket-piece of Fig. 5 united. Fig. 7 is a cross-section of the device of Fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a cross-section and partial elevation showing the parts of Fig. 5 assembled and united about a piece of cloth. I have not herein shown the stud since it may be of any approved construction, and preferably of the rigid or non-resilient type.
The socket-piece 1 comprises a base 2, having a central stud passage or opening 3, the margin of which is surrounded by a fold of the metal of the base, the standing member 4 of which fold rises upright or perpendicular to a horizontal plane drawn through the base, and is continued reversely as a free fold-member 5 which terminates in a studengaging lip 6, this lip being the active element of the socket-piece which cooperates with the neck of the stud to grip the stud more or less securely in accordance with the stiffness of the spring formed by the fold. The two parts 4 and 5 of the fold are slitted radially as at 7 to form spring finger-like portions. This socket-piece is provided with a flange 8 by which it is secured to its attaching member, herein shown in two forms. The attaching member of Figs. 1 to 4 comprises a dome-shaped piece 9 terminating in a tubular portion 10 which is in effect an eyelet, and which is adapted to cooperate with the top shown detached in the upper view of Fig. 1 and applied in Fig. 1, and comprising a cap 11 containing an anvil piece 12 and a collet 13, these parts being connected. by Hanging in any usual way, and a space 14 being left between the collet and the anvil for the reception and clenching of the eyeletlike tube 10 of the attaching member. In Figs. 5 to 8 the attaching member is a domeshaped piece 15 having a hole 16 in its center instead of the eyelet-like tube of the preceding figures, but otherwise this dome 15 is applied to the socket-piece as in the first de scribed form. Instead, however, of using the top shown in the other figures, I use a top shown detached in the upper view of Fig. 5 and applied in Fig. 8, comprising a cap 17, a collet 18, and a pronged rivet 19 secured by its head between the cap and collet, and adapted to enter the hole 16 of the dome 15 and be clenched therein, as shown in Fig. 8.
silience or avoidance of the setting of the" s ring due to taxing the metal beyond its e astic limit by repeated use and in addition the present invention provides a structure wherein the spring as a spring is of comparatively greater strength and hence of.
greater efficiency in retaining engagement with the stud in those situations Where the strain is very great; and still further, the present invention can be manufactured more economically than the Warner construction, because the straight folds permit the production of the socket by a single machine, direct from the raw material, Without successive handlings such as are necessary to flare the fold in the Warner socket. Thus the present invention is, first, more efficient in resilience than the Warner, and, second, it can be produced at less first cost.
Obviously the device is for use as aglove fastener or a fastener for other articles, and it is to be noted that the fold is in no manner used in attaching the device to the glove or other article, but on the contrary, is at all times independent of such attaching means. By this construction the fold is free at all times to perform its function as a resilient clasp for the complemental stud member of the snap-fastener, and Whether the device be attached properly or improperly to a glove or other article the functions of the fold are in no wise affected.
What I claim is The herein described improvement in snap-fasteners, consisting of a socket-piece provided With a base made With a central opening for the reception of the head of a complemental stud, said opening surrounded by a stud-engaging portion integral With the base and consisting of a standing fold-member and a free fold-member, both of which fold-members are slitted radially, said free fold-member having an inwardly projecting lip for actively engaging the stud, and. both of said fold-members standing up parallel with the vertical axis of the socket-piece, whereby the resilient strength of the stud engaging device is increased and the manufacture of the socket-piece simplified,and means to attach the device to a glove or other article.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 2nd day of April A. D. 190.6.
