JACOB W. DAVIS, O'F RENO, NEVADA, ASSIGNOR TD HIMSELF AND L STRAUSS "& 00., OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA;

IMPROVEMENT IN PANTALO ONS, &c.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 139,121, dated May 20, 1873 reissue No. 6.385, dated March 16,1875; application filed February '21, 1875.

Toall whom it may concern Be it known that I, Jason W. DAVIS, of Reno, Washoe county, State of Nevada, have invented an Im provementiu Fastening Beams 5 and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification.

My invention relates to a fastening for pocket-openings, whereby the sewed seams are prevented fromm'pping or starting from frequent pressure or strain thereon; and it consists, in the employment of a metal rivet o r eyelet at each edge of the pocket-openingfto prevent the ripping of the seam at those points.

. The'rivet or eyelet is so fastened in the seam as i... bind the two parts of cloth which the seam unites together, so that it shall prevent the strain or pressure from coming upon the thread withwhich the seam is sewed. In order to more fully illustrate and explain my invention, reference is had to the accom-' panying. drawing, in which my invention is,

represented as pair of pants. I

Figure 1 is a view of my invention as applied to pants.

applied to the pockets of a To strengthen this part I employ a rivet, eyelet, or other equivalent metal stud b, which I pass through a. hole at the end of the seam, so as to bind the two parts of cloth together, and then head it down on both sides, so as to firmly unite the two parts.

When rivets which already have one head are used, it is only necessary to head the opposite end and a washer can be interposed, if desired. 1n the usual way.

By this means I avoid a large amount of trouble in mending portions of seams which are subjected to constant strain.

My invention is applicable to pantaloons, overalls, coats, vests, and other garments.

. I- am aware that rivets have been used for securing seams in shoes, as shown in the patent t0 Geo. Houghton, No. 64,015, April 23,

1867, and to L. K. Washburn, No. 123,313, January 3,1872; and hence I do not claim, broadly, fastening of seams by means of rivets.

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

- As a new article of manufacture, pantaloons or other garments having their pocket-openings secured at the edges by means of rivets, or their equivalents, substantially in the manner described and'shown.

' In witness whereot'I hereunto set my hand and seal. 7
