FASTENER.
Application filed January '7, 1927. Serial No. 159,688.
My invention aims to provide improvements in fasteners of the turn button type.
In the drawings, which illustrate a preferred embodiment of my invention Figure 1 is a front elevation of the complete fastener installation;
Fig. 2 is a Vertical section taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1, and being partly in elevation;
Fig. 3 is a section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4. is a side elevation of the stud member;
Fig. 5 shows a lay-out of the button or head of the stud member in its form before being pressed out to form the button or head; and
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the button or head.
Referring to the embodiment of my in vention illustrated by the drawings, the fastener comprises a turn button stud A and a grommet type of socket B adapted to be used as a fastener for securing two curtains together, or (as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2) to secure the curtain 1 to the body 2 of a vehicle or other similar use.
The stud member has a body portion 3 formed of sheet metal pressed out to provide a base 1 and an oblong boss 5. A portion of the material forming the outer end of the boss 5 is pressed inwardly and punched out to provide an aperture 6, which is surrounded by a tapered wall 7. ending between the outer end of the boss 5 and the base 1, as shown in 2. An oblong button or head 8 is mounted upon the boss 5 for turning movement relative thereto.
The button or head 8 is pressed from sheet metal, it being first formed from a strip of metal into the shape shown in Fig. 5, and then pressed to the form shown in Fig. 6. Thus, I provide a button or head which is slit at the ends (Figs. 2 and 6) to permit a certain amount of contraction and expansion as a whole. A pair of fingers 9, 9 are formed integral with the button or head. 8 for the purpose of securing it to the body portion 3.
To assemble the parts of the stud, it is only necessary to place the button or head 8 against the outer end of the boss 5 so that the fingers 9, 9 pass through the aperture 6, and then bend the free ends of the fingggs the button or head in position.
9, 9 against the end of the wall 7, in the manner shown in Fig. 2. Thus, the body 3 and button or head 8 are resiliently secured together and the button or head 8 may be turned relative to the body portion 3.
Any form of means may be provided. for securing the stud to a support, but in this instance I have shown a screw 10 having its head 11 enclosed by the base 4 and held in nonrotatable relation, so that the stud. may be turned to turn the screw into the body 2 of the vehicle, as shown in Fig. 2.
In fasteners of the turn button type, it is preferable to have the button or head 8 held. in either one of two positions. so that it cannot be accidentally turned when in either position, the positions being that shown in Fig. 1, where the button or head 8 is turned to lock the grommet B with the stud A, or that shown in Fig. l, where the button or head 8 is shown in the position where the grommet B may be readily engaged with or disengaged from the stud A. To this end, the wall 7 forms a square aperture 6 and the fingers 9, 9 resiliently cooperate with the straight sides of the wall. Thus, when the button or head is turned from one position to another, the fingers 9. 9 turn relative to the wall 7, and as they do, they contract and then expand against the straight portions of the wall 7 to hold The resiliency of the button or head 8, acting tl'irough the fingers, is sui'licient to prevent accidental turning or rattling of the button or head 8 relative to the body portion 3.
The socket or grommet is pressed from sheet metal and has a ring-like portion 12, which seats against the outer face of the curtain 1 and a slit rivet portion 13 surrounding a stud-receiving aperture I l through the grommet B. The rivet portion. 13 passes through a hole in the curtain (Fig. 2) and the finger portions 9 of the rivet are bent outwardly against the inner face of the curtain to clench the material between them and the ring-like portion 12, as shown in Fig. 2. The aperture 14 in the grommet B is of substantially the same cross-sectional area as the cross-sectional area of the. boss 5 of the body portion 3, so that it may fit over the boss and be secured to the stud, when the button or head. 8 is turned to the position shown in Fig. l,
....1.wwwwwinwlnlnlillllilllll Aside from the fastening screw 10, the stud member is formed from only two parts, which are secured together in a simple but durable manner and provide an efiicient turn button stud which is positive in operation.
I do not wish to be limited to the particular embodiment of my invention illustrated and described.
