C. SILVERMAN.
LINGERIE CLASP;
APPLICATION FILED 050.31.1921.
1A1 6 7580 atented May 23, 1922,
UNETEID) STATES PATENT @FFHCCE.
CHARLES SILVERMAN, 0F PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND.
LINGERIE CLASP.
Application filed December 31, 1921.
T 0 all whom it may; concern:
Be it known that 1, CHARLES SILVERMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Providence, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lingerie Clasps, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to lingerie clasps.
Heretofore the clasping ends of these structures have consisted of an end loop on the base member clasped and surrounded upon its outermost face by a resilient curved lug. This construction was difficult to disengage by the wearer because the separation required the use of the finger nail and even when located on a portion of the body accessible to the nail, the disengagement was diflicult. Furthermore the use of such a clasping means made the use of enamel for ornamental purposes upon the body or tongue of the clasp impractical because the bending involved by the disengagement fractured the enamel area thereon.
. The essential objects of my invention are to overcome the enumerated disadvantages, and by a simple, secure, strong, and inexpensive structure.
To the above ends essentially my invention consists in such parts and in such combinations of parts as fall within the scope of the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings which constitute a part of this specification,
Figure 1 is a plan view of a clasp embodyin my invention,
Figures 2 and 3, side elevations of the same in closed and open positions respectively, v
Figure 41, an end elevation of the same,
Figure 5, a longitudinal section on line 5--5 of Figure 4, and
Figure 6, a detail side elevation of the outer end of the flexible member.
Like reference characters indicate like parts throughout the views.
In the form of my invention herein lllustrated my device comprises an oblong jaw or hinge member 8 formed of comparatively thick metal and preferably slightly arched. In this instance an oblong area in its upper surface is recessed as at 9 to receive an enamel facing 10. The outer end of the member 8 is downwardly and inwardly bent to. form a loop 12, while its opposite end is similarly bent and centrally bifurcated to Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 23, 1922.
Serial. no. 526,210.
form curved fingers 14 spaced from each other embracing a pintle 16. Between the fingers and embracing the pintle is a loop or sleeve 18 integral with the inner end of a resilient arched jaw or hinged member 19 provided in this instance with a central longitudinally disposed series of elevations 20 to assist in retaining a fabric, but the form of the elevations is not material, and elevations may be entirely omitted without departing from the spirit of my invention. The outer end of the material of the member 19 is bent back upon itself, forming a closed fold 20, and thence is curved upwardly, as at 21, to snugly engage the rear face of the loop 12 and is then bent back upon itself to form a closed fold 22 at its upper end, while the lower end 23 of the folded material 24: abuts against the jaw 19. It will be noted by the description that while the jaw 19 is resilient the rearwardly and upwardly curved lug 21 is rigid. It will be observed by reference to Figure 3 that when the parts are disengaged the top 22 of the lug 21 is positioned slightly forwardly of the rearmost portion of the loop 12; therefore, because of the rigidity of the parts 21 and 12 and 8, and the flexible character of the part 19, the portion 19 will yield when the end portion or extension 20 is manually pressed upwardly, with the result that the inner convex face of the loop 12will seat against the lug 21 as shown in Figure 2, and the longitudinal pressure of the resilient member 19 will maintain the parts in closed position.
The fabric engaged by my device is located between the jaws 8 and 19. To disengage the jaws the extension 20 of the member 19 affords access to the end of the thumb or finger for returning the partsto the position shown in Figure 3.
It will be noted that the rigid character of the member 8 and 12 prevents any bending thereof during the engaging or disengaging operation, so that the enamel ornamentation silient jaw engageable with the rear side of the loop.
3. A lingerie clasp comprising a rigid jaw and an arched resilient jaw, a loop on the end of the rigid j aw, and :1 lug carried by the resilient jaw engageable with the back of the loop.
4. A lingerie clasp comprising a rigid jaw and a resilient jaw, 21 loop on the end of the rigid jaw, said resilient jaw extending hori- 10 In testimony whereof I have aflixed my 15 signature.
