SHOE-FASTENER.
, Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 3, 1915..
Application filed October 17, 1914. Serial N 0. 867,148.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN H. MAYS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bonnie, in the county of Jefierson and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Shoe-Fasteners, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to shoe fasteners and has for its primary object the provision of a fastener in the nature of a resilient hook-like member secured adjacent the marginal edges of the closure flaps and capable of being readily interlocked in fastening the shoe, and constructed to prevent casual disengagement while walking or under any other condition.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a fastener of this character which is simple in construction and capable of being readily secured to or removed from the shoe, and which when applied will be out of view. I
Other objects will appear as the following description is read in connection with the accompanying drawing in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the shoe partly open showing the arrangement of the fasteners. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of one of the fasteners. Fig. 3 is a view of the blank from which the fasteners are formed. Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail sectional view showing a pair of the fasteners associated.
Referring more particularly to the drawing by numerals 5 designates the shoe proper of the ordinary and well known construction, and to the marginal edge of the flap 6 is secured a row of fasteners constructed in accordance with my invention being suitably spaced, while secured to the underface of the closure flap 7 is a row of similarly constructed fasteners adapted for interlocking engagement with the fasteners on the flap 6. I
The fasteners 8 forming the subject matter of my invention are constructed from a single blank of suitable material, preferably resilient metal and comprise substantially elongated body portions 9 having securing spurs or prongs l0 projecting from each of the four corners thereof. Extending from one of the longitudinal edges of the body portion, between a pair of the prongs 10 is a central strip 11 bent upon itself as at 12, and then bent to overlie the body portion 9 thus defining a resilient hook-like member. Pro ecting laterally from one edge of the strip 11 is a lug 13 adapted to be bent upwardly at a right angle to the body portion 9 for the purpose of closing one end of the hook-like member, thus obviating casual separation of the fasteners while walking, or under any other conditions. It will be noted however that only one row of the fasteners need be provided with the lugs 13 although both rows may be so if desired.
It will be manifest that I have provided a capable substitute for the ordinary shoe lace, which when the shoe is fastened will be entirely out of view.
It is believed that from the foregoing description considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, the nature and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent without requiring a more extended explanation and therefore the same has been omitted.
What I claim is A garment fastener comprising a substantially T-shaped blank of material, the elongated portion being folded upon itself to provide a resilient hook, a tongue projecting from one longitudinal edge of said elongated portion and bent at right angles thereto closing one side of the hook, and attaching spurs projecting from the four corners of the cross piece of said T at right angles thereto, said cross piece forming the body portion of the fastener.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JOHN H. MAYS.
