CORPORATION OF NEW JERSEY.

DESiGN FOR A LACE-FASTENER.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Design No. 35,690, dated February 4, 1902. Application filed December 16, 1901. Serial No. 86,168. Term ofpatent 14 years.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JAMES L. POALK, acitizen of the United States, residing at Merchantville, in the county of Camden and State of New Jersey, have invented and produced a new and original Design for a Lace-Fastener, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof, in which Figure 1 is a top or plan view of a lace-fastener, showing the design of my said invention. Fig. 2 is an underneath plan view of the fastener. Fig. 3 is a side elevational view thereof, and Fig. 4 isalongitudinalsectional view on the line 4 4 of Fig. 1. These four views are deemed essential to fully illustrate the shape or configuration of the lacefastener of the design of my invention.

As illustrated in the drawings, the leading or material feature of my invention consists of the shape or configuration of the fastener, and particularly the head thereof. As viewed in plan view, as in Fig. 1, the fastener has the appearance of a ring a, from which projects tangentially a substantially straight projection I), having at its end a curved tailpiece cl, the tailpiece being formed on an are parallel to a portion of the periphery of the ring a,

and therefore substantially concentric with a portion of said ring a. As viewed in underneath plan view, as in Fig. 2, the under faces of the ring a, projection 12, and the tailpiece d are shown as concave. As viewed in side elevation, as in Fig. 3, from the ring a projects downwardly an eyelet e, and the upper faces of the ring a, projection b, and tailpiece d are rounded or convex. As viewed both in end elevation and in section, as in Figs. 3 and 4, the projection 1) lies in the same plane as the ring a; but the tailpiece cl is elevated above said plane, being connected with the projection b by a curved shoulder 01.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is'

The design for a lace-fastener, substantially as herein shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

JAMES L. POALK.
