SUSPENDER-CLIP.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented npr. 11, 191e.
Application led July 3, 1915. Serial No. 37,840.
T0 all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, RICHARD H. MURRAY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Houston, in the county of Harris and State yof Texas, have invented new and useful the garment, although it is susceptible for use with the ordinary well known form of Suspenders for supporting the trousers.
Other objects and advantages will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same residing in the specific plication like numerals of reference indi-` cate similar parts in the several views and wherein Figure 1 is a view showing the manner of application of the device. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the preferred form of the invention. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the clamp showing the normal position of parts. Fig. 4 is a similar view of the clamp with the jaws closed. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the clamp jaws separated. Fig. 6 is a view of the springs. Fig. 7 is a longitudinal sectional view of a still further modified form of the invention showing the clamp jaws closed, the dotted lines showing the jaws in open position. Fig. 8 is a detail view of the spring. Fig. 9 is a plan view of the clamp jaws separated.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, the preferred embodiment of the invention essentially consists of four metal plate jaws, arranged in oppositely disposed pairs, one pair being indicated generally at A and the other pair at B. As clearly shown in Fig. 5 one of the jaws 5 of the pair A has its inner edge provided with spaced extensions 7 terminating in alined pintle eyes S adapted to be arranged -between and in a line with the pintle eyes 9 formed by the spaced extensions 10 projecting from the adjacent edge of the jaw 11 of the pair of jaws B. Similarly, the jaw 12 of the pair A` has its inner edge also provided with spaced extensions 13 terminating 1n eyes 14 disposed between and in a line with the eyes l8 of the jaw 5, while the remaining jaw 15 of the pair B has its adjacent edge provided with a single extension forming an eye 16 disposed between and in a line with the eyes 14. Passed through the plurality of alined eyes is a pintle 17, forming a common connection for all of said jaws, which said eyes loosely embrace whereby each of the said jaws are mounted for independent pivotal movement.
The jaws of each pair are split from their free ends at spaced points, a short distance in their length as at 18, certain of the eut away portions being bent inwardly to provide teeth 19, while other of said cut away portions are reversely bent outwardly to provide the lugs 20. The jaws of each pair are normally spread or held in opened position by means of the springs 21, a spring being provided for each pair of jaws, and each spring including an intermediate coil 22 encircling the pivot 17, and having their terminals bearing against the respective aws of each pair, thereby holding said jaws normally open.
Slidably embracing each pair of jaws is a loop 23, which when adjusted toward the free ends of the jaws, close the latter against the tension of the springs 21, and hold said jaws in gripping relation. Each of the loops 23 have an inbent portion 24 disposed to engage the lugs 20, whereby to limit the 'adjustment of said loops in one direction.
.As clearly shown in Fig. 1 one pair of jaws are adapted to be clamped upon the Suspenders, and the other pair to the garment, by reason of which fact it will be manifest that I have devised a clamp which may be quickly and easily applied to or removed from the garment when desired, as well as eliminating the use of the usual buttons on the garment, and buckles, hooks and other fastenings usually carried by the suspenders.
In Fig. 7 I have disclosed a still further modified form of the invention, wherein I make use of a base plate 35, longitudinally split at spaced points as at 36, the out away portions forming alined eyes 37 disposedl approximately in a line with the transverse center of the plate. The opposite end portions of the plate constitute jaws 38 and 39, and coperate with the jaws 40 and 41 in vthe manner presently described. Both the jaws 40 and 4l are arranged upon one side of the plate, the jaw 40 having extensions projecting from the inneredge thereof and forming pintle eyes 42 disposed between and in a line with the eyes 37 of the plate 35, while the adjacent edge of the jaw 4l is also provided with extensions 43 terminating in eyes 44 disposed at the Vopposite sides of and in a line with the eyes 37 of the plate 35. Passed through the alined eyes is a pintle 45 for pivotally connecting the jaws 40 and 4l with the plate 35 as clearly illustrated. Allv of said jaws are split longitudinally for a short distance of their length, from the free edges thereof as at 46, certain of the cut away portions 47 being bent inwardly to form teeth, while other of said cut away portions are bent outwardly to provide the lugs 47. Encircling the pintle 45 is the intermediate coiled portion 48 of a spring, the terminals 49 of which bear against the jaws 40 and 41, and operate to normally maintain these jaws in opened position as clearly shown in F ig. 7.
Slidably embracing each pair of jaws, is a loop 50 having an inbent portion 51 adapted to abut against the lugs 47 upon -the limit of adjustment of the loops in one direction., to prevent casual separation of the parts, it of course being understood that the loops when adjusted in the direction of the free ends of the jaws, the latter are moved to closed position against the tension ,of the. spring and eifectivelv held in gripping relation bv said loops. T he device is extremely simple in its nature, very efficient in its purpose and may be manufactured at a comparatively small cost.
It is believed that from the foregoing de scription the nature and advantages of the invention will be thoroughly understood without requiring a more extended explanation and therefore the same has been omitted.
`What is claimed is:-
l. A I clamp comprising oppositely disposed pairs of relatively movable jaws, means connecting the adjacent ends of said jaws, the opposite end of each jaw .having a plurality of longitudinally disposed parallel slits delining separated portions, certain of said portions being bent to provide teeth, others being bent to provide reversely disposed lugs, while the remaining separated portions of the jaws of eachpair are disposed in staggered relation to provide an abutment for the teeth of each other, a loop slidably embracing each pair of jaws for holding the latter in gripping relation, and said lugs forming a stop to limit the adjustment of said loops in one direction.
2. A clamp Comprising oppositely disposed pair of relatively movable jaws, pintle eyes formed on the adjacent ends of said jaws, a pintle passed through all of said eyes for pivotally connecting said jaws together, a spring` encircliner said pintle and having its terminals projecting between the jaws of each pair to hold the latter' normally separated, the opposite ends of said jaws having inwardly extending teeth and reversely disposed lugs projecting outwardly therefrom, a loop slidably embracing each pair of jaws for holding the latter in gripping relation when in one of its adjusted positions, and said lugs forming a stop to limit the adjustment of said loops in one direction.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
