Sr, a citizen of the United States residina In t e drawings: Figure l, is an end eleat ast Orange, in the county of Essex and vation of a button ring constructed in ac- State of New Jersey, have invented certain cordance with the invention Fig 2 is a new and useful Improvements in Button Rings, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specication.

and has for its object to facilitate the inone coil, whereby a Hush Surface is presented. troduction of the ring. The other end of the wire is bent outward To this end my invention consists of an from the coil as at 5, and then backward improved construction of Such ring whereby without the use of tools, the ring may easily receive the shank of the button or other upon itselil as at 6.

These rings cents ($2.50) per thousand, fact that such insertion is An awl or other tool must be by reason of the very slow.
