MORRIS P. BRAY, OF ANSONIA, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR TO AUGUST FELLHEIMER, OF NEV YORK, N. Y.
BUTTON-HOLE. STRIP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 430,987, dated June 24, 1890.
Application tiled January 27, 1890. Serial No. 338,172. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MORRIS P. BRAY, of Ansonia, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement in Button-Hole Strips for Garments; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connectionwith accompanying drawings, and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in-
Figure l a view in front elevation of abutton-hole strip embodying my invention; Fig. 2, an enlarged broken View showing the bind ings of the strip detached and folded back to better illustrate its construction; Fig. 3, a sectional view on line :c of Fig. 2; Fig. 4, a similar view on line y y of same figure; Fig. 5, a similar view on line .e e' of same figure.
My invention relates to an improved button-hole and button-hole strip, particularly `designed for corsets, waists, and similar articles of wearing-apparel, the obj ect being to produce a button-hole adapted by means of its peculiar shape and arrangement to permit the garment to which it is applied to be very easily buttoned and unbuttoned, and to be secured against accidental unbuttoning when buttoned.
IVith these objects in view my invention consists in abuttonhole strip constructed as hereinafter described, and particularly recited in the claim.
In carryingout my invention a strip of fabric A, of suitable width and length, is longitudinally folded to bring its edges together. The folded fabric is then cut inward from its free edges at suitable distances apart for the button-holes, and triangular or V-shaped pieces of the fabric removed, leaving triangular or V-shaped openings B having their narrow ends adjacent to the folded edge of strip and their wide ends at the free edges thereof. At the outer or narrow end of each of the said openings aslit C is made on aline parallel with the folded edge of the fabric, so as to detach the fabric lying adjacent to the outer ends of the holes in such manner as to permit it to be lifted and inclosed by the straight bindingstrips D D, which are ap- -from the hole.
plied from the free edges of the strip contaiir ing the Wide ends of the button-hole open ings, as has been described.
After the button-holes have been bound the free edges of the strip are inserted between two layers E E of fabric, which mayor may not form a portion of the garment to which the strip is applied. The overlapping edges of this fabric are then stitched down on the line F over the free edges of the strip and the inner ends of the button-hole binding-strips, the fabric E E then closing the wide ends of the button-holes. Two lines G I-I of stitching parallel with theline F, before referred to, are also employed for re-enforcing the stitching F and for giving a finish to the work.
Preferably, and as herein shown, the folded edge of the strip A has a binding I stitched over it. This binding incloses the outer ends of the button-hole binding-strips and firmly secures them in place.
By making the button-hole wider at one end than at the other it is adapted to receive and release the button very easily, while by placing it so that the bearing of the button falls upon the narrow part of the hole where the edges thereof come together a wedging action is secured upon the button, which prevents the same from accidentally escaping proved button-hole strip is superior to the ordinary button-hole strip made by slitting the cloth and working an enlargement into the outer end of the hole.
In making the strip the peculiar open shape of the holes enables them to be readily and quickly bound, while their ends are re-enforced and finished by simply stitching fabric across them.
lVhat I do claim is- A button-hole strip composed of a strip of fabric A, having V-shaped pieces cut therefrom from the inner edge, the apeX of the V being near the outer edge of the strip, and so as to form V-shaped openings B in the strip, and with a slit C across the apex of the said openings parallel with the outer edge of the strip, combined with straight binding-strips D D on opposite edges of said triangular In these respects my im- IOO openings, the said slit C permitting the lifting of the fabric at the apex of the V for the application of said binding-strips, and so as lto permit the said binding-strips to extend onto the fabric toward the outer edge beyond the said apex, the inner edge 0f the said strip shaped button hole, substantially as described, and whereby the apex of the said 1o button-hole is toward the outer edge of the strip, the sides of the hole diverging from the outer end rearward.
