improvements in Drooches, Safety-pins, and such like Articles.
I THOMAS DALTON PANNETT, of 6 Carlisle Street, Soho, in the County of
London, Manufacturing Goldsmith and Jeweller, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
-
This invention relates to the construction of the parts of brooches, safety pins
and such like articles so as to improve the means of fastening the same to the dress
or otherwise.
In carrying out my invention I construct the catch end of the outer bar or part
much as usual and the spring pin's point is passed to within such catch as usual;
but the spring to the pin, to cause it to press outwardly and against the catch, when
engaged therein; instead of being attained merely by a curl or twist of the wire or
material of the pin, said spring is by my invention formed as a pin hinged to the
catch bar at the opposite end to the catch and having a shoulder which engages a
stop or abutment on catch-bar half of such hinge, so that the pin has to be sprung
into the catch, but such pin can be turned fully back on the hinge, when required,
to facilitate insertion in any fabric or for other purpose.
Stones or other articles of value can be mounted on the catch-bar, or it may be
otherwise ornamented, or the catch and pin may be plain and the half hinge on the
one may have a "cheniere " or short tubular projection to be passed into the
opening in the other half hinge and the metal of the "cheniere or tube is splayed
out to form a rivet.

I THOMAS DALTON PANNETT, of 6 Carlisle Street, Soho, in the County of
London, Manufacturing Goldsmith and Jeweller do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to the construction of the parts of brooches, safety pins
and such like articles so as to improve the means of fastening the same to the dress
or otherwise.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figs. 1 and 2 shew, by perspective edge view and perspective side view
respectively, a safety pin constructed according to my invention.
Figs. 3 and 4 show, by similar views to Figs. 1 and 2, a safety pin of smaller
size.
Fig. 5 shows by side view the "spring" portion of a safety pin drawn to a larger
scale than the previous figures.

page_text: Fig. 6 shows by side view the "outer bar " of a safety pin and
Fig. 7 shows the parts by plan view.
Fig. 8 shows by side view the parts shown in Figs. 5, 6 and 7 assembled, the
spring, or pin portion, being sprung into the catch.
Fig. 9 shows by side view a safety pin when fully opened out, drawn to a smaller
scale than Figs. 5-8.
Fig. 10 shows the hinge part by plan view to a larger scale.
In carrying out my invention I construct the catch end a of the outer bar 6 much
as usual and the spring pin's point c is passed within such catch a as usual; but the
spring to the pin, to cause it to press outwardly and against the catch a when
engaged therein; instead of being attained merely by a curl or twist of the wire or
material of the pin, said spring is by my invention formed as a pin c¹ hinged to the
catch bar b at the end, and having a shoulder which engages a stop or
abutment 62 on the catch bar part of such hinge, so that the pin has to be sprung
into the catch a, but such pin c¹ can be turned fully back on the hinge (see Fig. 9)
when required, to facilitate insertion in any fabric or for other purpose.
Stones or other articles of value can be mounted on the catch bar b, or it may be
otherwise ornamented, or the catch and pin may be plain, and the half hinge on the
one may have a "cheniere" or short tubular projection d to be passed into the
opening e in the other half hinge and the metal of the "cheniere" or tube d is
splayed out to form a rivet.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The construction and arrangement of parts of brooches, safety pins, and such
like articles, so as to enable the pin to be turned on its hinge to facilitate insertion
into any fabric or for other purpose substantially as set forth.
Dated the 19th day of March 1895.
