UNITED STATES PATENT O FICE.
HARRISON K. CUSTER, OF NORIVALK, CALIFORNIA.
APRON-FASTEN ER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 631,005, dated August 15, 1899.
Application filed October 10, 1898. Serial No. 693,174. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, HARRISON K. CUsTER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Norwalk, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented a new and useful Apron Pin or Fastener, of which the following is a specification.
Great difficulty is experienced in laundering aprons provided with the usual long cloth strings. In addition to the strings becoming entangled with the machinery and thereby being torn or broken the laundries make an extra charge for the additional labor which is necessary in ironing the strings. In the matter of Masonic aprons and many other aprons in which large quantities are used and which must be laundered frequently in order to maintain their spotless appearance this item of expense is considerable. In addition to the extra expense such strings are very inconvenient in use and unless neatly tied are very bunglesome and unsightly.
The object of my invention is to provide a device whereby apron-strings may be dispensed with and the apron quickly and neatly secured in place upon the body, held evenly and smoothly in position, and may be as expeditiously removed, the fastening devices being so arranged that they may be quickly detached from the apron when it is necessary to send the apron to the laundry and as quickly attached thereto after its return from the laundry.
My invention comprises the various features of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fully set forth and claimed.
The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of one of my improved fastening devices in use. Fig. 2 is an inside view of one of my devices removed from the apron. Fig. 3 is a like view of a modified form of device. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the device shown in Fig. 2.
In the drawings, A represents a shield, which may be stamped out of sheet metal and is at one end provided with means for attachment to an apron. This means may be an eye or loop a, into which may be looped one end of an elastic strip B, the other end of which may be provided with a safety-pin or other device D, whereby the elastic strip may be quickly fastened or unfastened from the apron E. One end of the shield A is upturned, as shown at A, to furnish a convenient finger-hold, whereby the shield may be conveniently grasped.
A is the pin proper, which may be made separate from the shield, as shown in Fig. 2, having its body arranged at a distance from and substantially parallel with the shield and its head end bent at an angle to its body and secured to the shield near the end A, with its point a directed toward the loop a or the means for attachment to the apron, or the pin may be stamped from the body of the sheetmetal blank, as shown in Fig. 3, the construction of the device being of minor importance.
In practical operation a device is attached to each side of the apron, as indicated in Fig. 1, and the operator then grasps each shield, the finger-holds furnishing convenient means therefor, places the apron in proper position about the waist, draws the shields toward the rear, pressing them against the clothing, then releases the shields to allow them to draw forward, and the pins enter the clothing G and hold the apron firmly in position Without any liability of their becoming accidentally unfastened, while the shields engage with the outer surface of the clothing and prevent the pin from entering so deeply as to prick the skinof the wearer.
When it is desired to launder the apron, the devices are removed from the aprons by unpinning the safety-pins or other fastening device from the aprons, and when the aprons are returned from the laundry the fastening devices may be again fastened securely thereto.
A degree of eiiiciency may be secured by omitting the elastic strips; but in such case the elasticity of the clothing must be depended upon to hold the apron smooth and to prevent the pins from becoming detached from the clothing. 1
Now, having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In an apron-fastener, a metal plate having one end provided with an eye and having its other end bent laterally to form a fingerhold; and a pin projecting from the side of end secured to the shield; and an elastic hav- 1o ing one end looped through the eye and secured and having its other end provided with means for attachment to an apron.
HARRISON K. CUSTER.
