'FASTENER FOR GLOVES, 84C.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 714,072, dated November 18, 1902.

Application filed April 8,1901. Serial No. 54,791. (No model.) I

T0 .i1/ZZ wir/0711, zit' may concern;

Be it known that I, JAMES V. WASHBURNE, acitizen of the United States, residing at lVaterbury, in the county of New-Haven and State of Connecticut,.have invented an Improvement in Fasteners for Gloves, Garments, tc., 0E which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to fasteners for gloves, garments, dac., adapted to be snapped into connection and so constructed that there is no interference of the edges or rims with internal protruding parts. I employ similar cup-shaped members havinginWardly-turned side Walls, diering in size and having open centers, which parts are adapted to be snapped into connection at their rims. I further employ attaching parts connectingr the cupshaped members with fiexiblelintervening material. Each attaching part has a diskhead and integral tubular stem. The stem passes through the iiexible material and open center of the cup-shaped member and is upset to connect the parts. An acceptable iinish is imparted to the disk by a head which receives the disk, with its edge overturned thereon, the construction being such VVthat a second and larger head may be secured to and outside of the first head in like manner. The cup-shaped member is preferably formed in a die to have an annular internal out- Wardly-extending shoulder or rib and consequent external recess outside said riband around the open center, the part interme;

diate and adjacent to which rib is preferably concaved internally to provide a receivingchamber for the upset end of the tubular stem, the edge of which comes approximately at or below the plane of the said shoulder or rib, so that the edge or rim of the cup-shaped member received Within the larger cup-shaped member cannot contact With the upset edge of the tubular stem. Consequently the parts snap together and separate smoothly and Without interference.

In the drawings, Figure lis a section of the blank for the cup-shaped member. Fig. 2 is an inverted plan of the same. Fig. 3 is a section of the cup-shaped member complete as stamped to provide the inwardly-turned side Walls and the annular shoulder or rib, the groove, and central concave portion. Fig. 4L is an inverted plan of the same. Fig. 5 is a section of the attaching part. Fig. 6 is a sec-V tion of the same With a connected head. Fig. 7 is a section of one member. Fig. 8 is a section of both connecting members.

a represents the cup-shaped member, having inWardly-turned-side Walls and having the open center a. This cup-shaped member is stamped up from a dat blank and shaped from the form, Figs. 1 and 2, to provide the same With an annular internal outwardly-extending shoulder or rib a2 and consequent groove external thereto, Fig. 3, and also to canse the intermediate portion of the inside of the cup-shaped member extending between the shoulder and the edge of the open center a to be concave.

c, Fig. 5, represents the attaching disk part, having the stem c integral therewith, the upper edges of Which latter are preferably tapering. This part is preferably provided with a head d', as shown in Fig. 6.

In connecting the respective parts the porvtion c' of the disk part c is passed through the fabrice and into the open center a of thecupshaped member a, as shown in Fig. 7. By means of a suitable die the end of the portion c' is now upset and pressed over and outwardly against the surface of the internallyconcave portion b of the cup-shaped member d Within the shoulder a2, thus securing the parts, as shown in Fig. 8, and completing the garm'ent-fastner.

Referring to Fig. S, it is often desirable, particularly in the part coming on the outside of the garment, to provide a larger head than the one immediately covering the disk part c. This may be accomplished by employing a second head d of suitable size and turning overthe edge of the same into contact With the head d, as shown.

The fastener is so made that the cup-shaped member of one part is sufficiently larger than the cup-shaped member of the other part to allow the former to be snapped over the latter to hold the members together.

The principal features of this construction are the outward-extending shoulder or-rib a2 in the cup-shaped member ct and themanvner of upsetting the edge of the stem c of the attaching part cwithin the concave portion b of the cup-shaped member ain such a Way that the upper portion of the upset end of c IOO isapproximately at or below the plane of the internal shoulder or rib a2. If in the act of connecting or disconnecting the members the rim of the inner cup-shaped member reaches the bottom of the outer member, it contacts with and bears upon the shoulder or rib a2 of the member aand can in no wise catch under or against the overturned portion of the stem c', but rather Will slide over the edge of the shoulder a2, and the movement will be smooth and regular and not interrupted.

I claim as my inventionl. In a snap-fastener for gloves, garments,

dac., a cup-shaped member having inwardly;

. diate of the shoulder and open center for re- 2. In a fastener for gloves, garments, dac., a

cup-shaped member having inwardly-turned side walls and an open center, an annular internal outwardly-extending shoulder or rib, a portion intermediate of the shoulder and open center, and an attaching part having a disk and integral tubular stem, the said tubular stem passing throughintervening flexible material into the intermediate portion of the cup-shaped member and upset Within the limits of the annular internal shoulder, substantially as vand for the purposes set forth.

3. In a fastener for gloves, garments, dac., a cup-shaped member having inwardly-turned side walls and an open center, an annular internal outwardly-extending shoulder or rib, a portion intermediate of the shoulderand open center, and an attaching part having a disk and integral tubular stem, and a head secured to the disk and forming a nish, the said tubular stem passing through intervening exible material into the intermediate portion of the cup-shaped member and upset within the limits of the annular internal shoulder, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

et. In a fastener for gloves, garments, dac., a cup-shaped member having inwardly-turned side Walls and an open center, an annular internal outwardly-extending shoulder or rib, an intermediate internally-concaved portion, a groove external to the shoulder and an at taching part having a disk and integral tubular stem and a head secured to the disk and forming a finish, the tubular stem passing through the intervening flexible material into the intermediate internally-concaved portion of the cup-shaped member and upset below the plane ofthe internal shoulder, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

5. In a fastener for gloves, garments, dac., a cup-shaped member having inwardly-turned side Walls and an open center, an annular internal outwardly-extending shoulder or rib, an intermediate internally-concaved portion, a groove external to the shoulder and an attaching part having a disk and integral tubular stem and a head of two parts of varying sizes connected and secured to the disk and forming a finish, the tubular stein passing through theintervening iieXible material into the intermediate internally-concaved portion of the cup-shaped member and upset below the plane of the internal shoulder, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

Signed by me this 28th day of March, 1901.
