BUTTON.-
SPECIFICATION forming part of Reissued Letters Patent No. 12,020,dated August 19, 1902.
Original No. 673,698, dated May 7,1901. Application for reissue filed May 16, 1902. Serial No. 107,693.
To (0Z5 whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE IV. BUCHANAN, of Chicago, in the county of Cook, State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Buttons, of which the following is a complete specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
Ihe object of my invention is to produce an improved button for detachably fastening a cuff to a shirt-Wristband or for similar purposes.
In the class to which my invention belongs it is desirable to keep both the Wristband and the cull? confined when the'yttre separated as well as when they are united. My invention not only meets this requirement, but also affords asimple and elegant device for personal wear by the aid of which, for example, a cult may be conveniently attached to or removed from a wristband whenever required and by the simplest manipulation.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure I is a section of my button complete on a highlymagnified scale. Fig. II a perspective view of the main portion of one part of my button detached. Fig. III is a similar view of the clip-ring designed to be assembled with the drawn approximately to the scale for ordi- .pai'y use.
' f Referring to the numerals on the drawings,
.the base, of the stud-button 2.
t may be specilicd that my button consists, nroadly, of a pair of stud-buttons l and 2 (see Fig. \'l) and means For detachably uniting lhc head of one to the base of the other. liy the-term stud-button in this connection I designate a button having a head and base united by a shank.
3 indicates the head of the stud-button l, and l. its base. 5 indicates the head, and I} The heads 3 and 5 may be of any preferred shape and dimensions, while similar latitude as to the shape of the bases is contemplated under the scope of my invention.
s the pro fcrrod means i or detachabl y unit'- ing the buttons 1. and ill provide one of the basesthe base 4, for examplewith a shallow recess adapted to receive and snugly lit the head of the other button, in this instance the head 5. \Vithin the said recess I provide means for holding the said head.
According to the pr sent preferred mode of construction the recess in the base I and the head-retaining mechanism therein are formed as follows: The button 1 is first pro vided with a comparatively thin baseplatc 8, against the face of which is titted an annular clip-ring-confining member 9, whose diam eter is suiliciently less than that of the plate 8 to permit of the marginal infoldingoi' the plate 8 upon the member J. 'lhis in folding (indicated at 10) may be accomplished in any suitable manner and by any preferred meansas, for example, by crimping, stamp ing, or spinning.
Between the member 9 and the plate 8 is confined by the infolding process above re 2, so designated bclined as by kerfs 15, formed in tho-ring'li'. The ring 12, with its clips ll, may be struck by a suitable die from a disk of resilient metal, the clips being upset by the stroke ol' the die into position at an angle to the body of the ring 1 2. The clips 14; are ranged around the inner diameter of the ring 1;. which, being substantially equal to that of the inner edge 16 of the member 9, defines with it the recess above referred to for the reception of the head 5. The clips l-i are liltcd slightly from their respective bases toward the center of said recess, so that, opposing the insertion Of the head 5, they may yield to admit the head and spring back about the head after it has fully entered the recess to clip and retainit- 'lhe above-described head-retaining mechanism constitutes, as spccilic'd, preferred means for detachably uniting the buttons 1 and 2; but I do notdnteud to restrict my in vention either to the details of construction. thereof or to retaining mechanism of a generally similar character. It is obvious that the retaining mechanism is'closcl y ana l cons to similar mechanisms used, I or instam'c in glove-fasteners and other articles or, appm'vl.
Although not altogether essential to this specification, it may be stated that inasmuch as each of the buttons 1 and 2 is required in practice to confine but two members instead of three or four the shanks 18 and 19 thereof,
- length of the composite button.
respectively, may be made shorter than in the ordinary stud-button, thereby restricting the This observation is made with special reference to Fig; I of the drawings, in which the length of the shank 19 is shown, with a view to clearness, somewhat exaggerated.
My button may be made of anysuitable and preferred material or materials.
\Vhat I claim is-- 1. The combination of two stud-buttons each comprising a base and a head, the base of one provided on its under side within the confines of its edge with means for engaging the head of the oth r.
2. The combination of two stud-buttohs each comprising a base and a head, the base of one provided on its under side with a recess adapted to receive the head of the other button, and retaining mechanism for holding said head in said base, said retaining mechanism being within the confines of the'ed'ge of the,base.
3. The combination of a pair of stud-buttons each comprising a base and a head, the base of one being provided with a recess adapted to receive the head of the other, and headretaining mechanism contained entirely in the base, within said recess.
4. Asa new article of manufacture the combination with a stud-button comprising a head, shank, and base, of a recess in said base adapted to receive the head of another stud-buttomand head-retaining mechanism contained entirely in the base, within said recess.
In testimony whereof I sign this specification in the presence of two witnesses.
GEORGE \V. BUCHANAN.
