G. N. BUCK. CLASP FOR GARMENT SUPPORTERS.
No. 507.646. Patented Oct. 31, 1893';
UNTTED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE N. BUCK, OF MATTOON, ILLINO1S,ASSIGNOR TO THE GEORGE N. BUCK MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.
CLASP FOR GARMENT-SUPPORTERS.-
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 507,646, dated October 31, 1893.
Application filed February 14, 1893. Serial No. 462,263. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE N. BUCK, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Mattoon, in the county of Coles and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clasps for Garment-Supporters, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to certain improve ments applied to a clasp designed for attachment to the free ends of garment supporters and adapted to be engaged with stockings, skirts or other articles of wearing apparel ordinarily hung from such supporters.
The particular purpose of the invention is to insure against accidental disengagement, when by any bending of the body the bands or elastics of the supporters are relaxed, so that they exert no pull upon the garment supported. I have also made improvements in other directions incidental to this main feature which will appear from the following description.
The invention is illustrated by means of three figures, of which, Figures 1 and 2 are side views of a clasp embodying my improvements, suspended from the end of a band as is ordinarily used in garment supporters; and Fig. 3 is a section in line 33, of Fig. 1.
Fig. 1 shows a portion of a garment lettered A, with which the clasp is, engaged. The supporting band or elastic is lettered B, and preferably terminates at the bottom in a long loop, I). V
The clasp consists of two members, 0, D. The member, C, is preferably a plate slotted at its ends and provided at its sides with up and inturned flanges, c, approaching each other toward the lower end of the member. In the middle of the plate is a raised portion, 0', struck outward from the plate. The other member, D, is shown as consisting of a flat plate adapted to slide between and under the flanges, c, and having ,a central opening, d, conforming in general shape to the raised portion, 0', of thefirst member. This member, D, is slotted at the top and hinged to a second plate, 01, having its sides turned backward and inward toadapt it to slide up and down upon the band, B. In attaching the fastening to the band the latter is passed through the sliding plate, (1, then through the slots in the ends of'the plate, C, and then back and fastened to itself at a sufficient distan ce from the end to enable the plate, 02, to slide freely up and out of the way of the member, C.
In engaging the clasp with a garment as seen at A, in Fig. 1, the edge of the latter is laid upon the member, C, pressed backward against the same, and the member D, pushed down in front of it and between the flanges, 0, until it becomes tight. In this position, the raised portion, 0, presses the fabric upward into the opening, d, and prevents the clasp from becoming disengaged when the supporter is slackened. Under other circumstances, the clasp takes care of itself for the reason that the pull of the garment wedges the member, D, all the more tightly between the flanges, c.
The raised portion, 0, of the member, C, may be made in any one of a great variety of forms and either partially or wholly detached from the plate, C. In the latter case it would, of course, either be soldered or otherwise fastened to it. It is also obvious, of course, that it makes no difference which one of the members is provided with the raised portion. It is also immaterial whether the slide, 01, be hinged to the plate, D, or made rigid therewith, or fastened thereto by an intervening piece of the band.
I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination with a band, B, of a plate secured to the end thereof having up and inturned edges approaching each other downwardly, and a second plate attached to the band and fitting tightly between the said edges of the first plate, one of said plates being provided with a protuberance or projection in the direction of the other plate and the other plate being recessed or cut out to receive said projection, whereby additional security against disengagement is obtained; substantially as described.
EDGAR GOWDY, W. F. JOHNSON.
