ToaZZ whom t may concern:
Be it known that LJACOB FoX, a citizen of the United"States,residing at New York, in' thecounty'of New Yorkand State ofNeW lowing is a specification. i
"This invention'relatesto improvements in;` buttons, and particularly to that type of but# 'toni combining agtextileecovered facewith af, Ymetal?v or like colletjvormback. Heretofore this f typeof Vbutton .has beeiifwconstructed with what isjcommonly vcalled the tuftedjsh'ank,
1' the forming of whichis-a tedious, expensive ,v not l'altogether' satisfactory method,` .as the tufted portion varies in shape inthe dif-c` ferent buttons and does not always "afford a properfmeans-fof attac-hing thebutton toa 'gflrment. 1 i i f f i vThe invention which shall afford ayirm7 means I.of'securing the button to a' garmentytheyshape.offthe shankbeing substantiall'yvnniformk in i all :the buttons. i f f A `further in )detachable engagement Vbyg a resilient looped shank secured to the front,`.theloop to al garment. Further objects vwill n For aV full understanding 4of. the `invention and the meritsv thereof, 4reference vis to be had to the following descriptionandaccomli f panying drawing, i in which if a J Figure lis a perspective 'view of the completed lbuttong. Fig; 2 is a vertical sectional View of the'same; FigI 3 comprises per-v y spective View 'ofthe various yparts'of the but# ton before assemblingthesamep i Corresponding-and" like parts are referred to in the following' description andniiidr. cated in,l all"thefviews `of the accompanying drawing by the same reference characters?Y The improved button embodieslalconcavoconvex back kor collet'` lformedof ivory, celluloid, metal orit'he like, andvprovidedi .i withfa preferably `eloiigated@slot 2f, eent-'rally'r'y n aims .provide a button,.; easily; quickly and therefore cheaply-` asseni-- bled, and"havinga resilient metal .i shank object `.is to provide,` a butt`on,` Y having separable portions, namely`,= a4front -i'ff andha collet or back, said portionsbeing held appear in the lfollowing descriptio'mf it beingunders'tood that, `changes in form, proportion, `and-minor de 1f tails of constructioiiy:mayfbe 'resorted to within the scope of the appended claim. y l

i 4dispisedzto;said collet and adapted@tofres y lvipreferably formedffrom relativelysoft The inner clamping member the5clainpingmeniberg3 and covering the'y an` `gular members I of thes hai`ik, is a parl), vof the u'sual,ty,p e, which `forms a packing vthereA in. ffllhe"@clampinginember 4 is slightly `larger vthan the member 3 and,` its convexed face,v is icoveredl fwith fabric 110. which; Y, is l doubled` iiiwai'dlybeyond the*'.n'iarginy or `flange of' the "membent so `that whenxtlie clamping members 3 and et are forced to# i gether the fabric isgripped between the two and securely held.'-`Th e pad 9 nowformsa stop to tlieangular end ofthe shank 6, and also prevents the .deformation of the clamping members they are subjected to a blow. Tliefabric 10 between theicoacting edges of the clamping members?) and l is furt'heiLse` cured when the margin ofitheouter member i is forced 'inwardly to firmly` grip` the member 3i -Up to lthis point iiiits construction, the, button presents a relatively smooth, fn- Yished appearance which isreadily' completed by theA insertion` of the resilient shank 6 in the i aperture-2 of the; collet l` on the 'concaved side-thereof, so-that the eye 8 iscompressed and forced through saidvape'rture and `ex-v 'pands lon thegconvexed side ofthe collet l where; it'engages thegwalls `of the aperture 2 and vsecures the front Vancllqtl'ie collet ofthe tbutton in! assembled positionandalso pro- -rrvides means for attaching'theybutton .to a garment;- i
"It willf` hereibei .-iioted'l that `the margin l of. thenooncaved side ofthe collet 1 is sub- .st-antiallzy: perpendicular to the back there` ics button isnot attached to agarment.
overfthe accumulation of dirt betweenthe parts-ofthe buttonis effectually preventedy .v 45 also between'the flange ofthe upper member andthe inner wall-of the collet.
parts would nevertheless be .held a together by -lvirtue of the interengagementl of the fabric covered portionv with the. margin of I the-collet. This is of advaiita-geto'prevent lossor separation of the lparts' whenhthe Moren as the parts fit tightly together and the that" kthe separable tionof the button to between the fabric andthec'ollet. Furthermember andthe collet, *third between the more-.the covered portion may be removed and the fabric readily-replaced `should it become worn, or should it.' bejdesired to change its color.
Itvwillliere fbe-noted that the flange lof the lower clamping member 3 extends` "upwardlyj' and outwardly, while the upper' clamping member 4 islarger than the lower 'member andthe flange thereof extends downwardly and` inwardly so that', when the clamping members are assembled, the fabric covering l0 will-be effectually clamped between vthe flanges of said members and It will also be vnoted that the circumferential edgecf the fabric covering 10 projects above tlieIupper edge of the flange of the lower surface of the f pad 9, lthe circumferential edge vof the fabric lcovering 10 beingk forced or pressed into the upper surface of the pad 9 lwhen the lparts are assembled. By this construction, a four-point contact -or clamping action onthe fabric covering 10 is produced, rst 'between the inner wall of the'fcollet andy the flange of the upper 'f clampingniember,second between the lower edge of the flange of the upper clamping adjacent wallslof they flangesl of both meinbers, and fourth between the lower surface ofthe top of the member 4l and the upper surface of the 4pad -9.`
- Attention is called to Jthe ease with which the button may be assembled in comparison with the button usingfthetufted shank, entirely dispensing with the use of dies and other tools which are necessary in the toonstruction of thetufted shank type. Moreover .the resultsyare not always the' (same *e with'the latter typeasthe-tufted shank is `frequently mutilatedin the process of Vformi, ing it, sogsthat it isdiilicult` anchir'isome` `cases impossible topass av needle through the shank inImounting therbutton for use. f `On the other hand thewresilient shank ,of the button. of this invention makes vthe as- "sembling of the parts simple andthe results uniformand positive,v as-a firm, neat eye is provided on'eachbutton so that may be vmounted for use with ease.
Havingzthus described the invention, what?. t f
is claimed as new is: .K
f A `button comprising a concavo-convex collet having an opening "1in, the bottom thereof, co-acting upper and .lower cup- `shaped. clamping members' offdilferent sizes :seated ing'the concave'body ofthe collet,the
lower clamping member partially closing the opening in `the colletland being pro- 7vided .with an upwardly and outwardly exm tending flange and the upperwclam'ping member being larger than the lower clamping member and provided-with a downwardly and inwardly extending flange` overlapping'the flange of the llower :clamping member, a rigid shank'extending throughv the opening` in the collet and having oppositely disposed arms bearing directly aok against'` the upperface ofthe lower clamp# ing member,f a -pad entirely fillingV the space between said clamping members, and alcovering extending foverthe top of the upper Y clamping'member:"and having its marginal edge extended .dowiiwardlyJ between 1 :the
-innerwall of the collet andthe outer wall of thelflange ofthe upper clamping member and thence extended upwardly7 between the flanges of bothclamping'members. andV thence laterally-'aboveithe upper "edge of` -the flange of the lower clamping member and in contact with` the vupper s urfaceof the pad, the vextreme circumferential edge of the covering being pressed'- into the pad y engagement with the` Vinner face of the upper clamping member.
