Abstract: 202,358. Bilbrough, C. F. S. April 19, 1922. Button-fasteners.-A detachable button or like fastener of safety-pin form is constructed with means on either the main or the pin member or on both of them for retaining the button approximately in a central position on the fastener. The pin member C of the fastener is threaded through the eye of a button inserted through a hole in the material and is then closed, the fastener in use lying against the back of the material. The main member A, Fig. 1, is provided with a sheet metal slotted saddle-like piece into the slot of which the pin member C and the button eye passes so that the button is retained by the saddle-like piece in a central position. In a modification, the saddle piece is formed of wire with a plurality of slots for use with a button having two or more eyes in line. In another form, Fig. 3, two hooks to engage the pin C are provided on the main member. In a further form, Fig. 4, the pin C has a projection C<2> on which the button eye is threaded. When the pin is closed, the end F<2> of this projection enters a loop on the main member. As shown in Fig. 5, the main and pin membens are provided with hooks A<2>, F which both enter the button eye when the pin is closed. The button eye, in the form shown in Fig. 6, is positioned between a curl C<2> and the end F of a resilient bight D on the pin member, the curl being overlapped by a bend on the main member when the pin is closed.
