Description

E. S. AVIS. SPRING CLASP FOR STOCKING SUPPORTERS AND THE LIKE.
#PPLIOATION FILED MAY 25, 1910.
991,470, PatentedMay 9, 1911 UNITED seesaw OFFICE- EPHRIAM S. AVIS, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
' SPRING-CLASP FOR sTocKING-sUProRTEns A'ND THE mics.
. elasps ofthis kind hereto fore made has been the tendency to tear or distort. the garmentresulting from applying the lifting strain all at or near a. given point. My in'\-'enti0n ilYOldSi-lliS dilliculty and has other advan tages arising from its novel structure.
The best form of apparatus at. prest'vnt known to me embodying my invention is illustrated in the accompanying sheet of drawings in which:
Figure'l is a front elevation of the clasp with jaws open. Fig. 2 is a cross section on line 2-2 of Fig. i. Fig. 3 is a front elevation with jaws elosed, and Fig. =lis a cross section on line l -4.- of Fig. 3.
'lhroughout the drawing like reference figures indicate like parts.
l is theiipper jaw and the lower jaw of the clasp ft'irmed preferably of flat spring metal fastened together at; the upper end by rivets 3, 3, orhther convenient means and Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed May 25, 1910. .Serial No. 563,279. v
normally sermratedat the. lower ends. A slot 12 provides eom'enient. means for attachment to a. supporting member iiot'shown. Each jaw has a longitudinally extending slot. 4, in which is placed a double headed button I or rivet composed of the heads 5 and (i and with laterally extending slots ti and ll), prefl connecting shank 7. The aw 1 is provided eraiilylwo in number, near the normally separated ends. I. prefer to make these slots are shaped and loeate them along a common are the center of which is below the clasp.
The jaw 2 has correspondingly placed stamped-up portions 9 and 11, adapted to enter and till the slots when thejaws are closed as shown in Fig. 4. The lowercdges 14 of the jaws are also preferably .curved to the samearc.
In operation the jaws spring open normally when the button is at the upper end of. the slot (Figs. 1 and 2 and a-port-ion of the garmel't't tot be grasped is then placed between them. When the button is forced down (Figs. 3 and at) the jaws are closed and clamped on the garment, the stamped- Patented May 9, 1911.
up portions 9 and 11 enter the slots 8 and 1t) and grasp the garment firmly.
Onelot' the principal advantages of my invention is its even and extended grasp on a eonsii'lerable portion of the garment whereby the supporting strain is evenly distributed and any tendency to tear or distort the garment, reduced.
This is assisted by the areshaped form andarrangement of the'grip-.
ping portions. The construction also gives is easily manipulated.
Having, therefore, described myinvention, I claim:
a remarlnlhlv firm grip on the material, and
I lit a spring clasp for stocking supporters and the like. the combination of two Jaws formed of flat spring metal fastened together at one end and normally separated at the other, one. aw being provided near the end at which it is separated from its tel-- low with two curved slots spaccd'apart at their proximate ends centrally of the clasp and extending along a common are across the. jaw, and the other provided with similarly arc-shaped stamped-up portions adapted to enter and substantially fill said slots when thejaws are closed, together with means for closing and -elamping said jaws together, the slots being so arranged that the. eoueave side of the curve is toward the open end of the jaws.
