We, THOMAS EVANS, of Summit Buckle Works, Walsall, Staffordshire, Manu-
facturer, and WILLIAM DEAYMAN, of 4, Sandwell Street, Walsall, aforesaid, Works
Manager, do hereby declare the nature of our invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN.
SECURING THE TABS OF BRACES OR OTHER LIKE ARTICLES TO BUCKLES OR
FASTENINGS" to be as follows:-
Our Invention relates to improvements in securing the tabs of braces or other
like articles to buckles or fastenings.
An ordinary method of securing a brace tab or other like article to a buckle or
fastening is to pass one end thereof around the bar of the buckle or fastening
forming thereby a loop, the said loop then being secured by a stud or eyelet.' The
folded part of the loop, by rubbing on the bar, soon wears through and the brace
tab or other like article then becomes detached.
1
The object of our Invention is to provide means whereby the strain on the said
folded part will be lessened and, when it is worn through, the brace tab or other
like article will still be secured to its buckle or fastening.

-
In carrying our Invention into practice we provide and form with the bar of the
buckle or fastening, to which the brace tabs or other like articles are to be secured,
an additional bar which forms a hole or holes preferably of a circular or oval shape
outside the first named bar. The brace tabs or other like articles are secured by
folding and by ordinary studs or eyelets as at present, but the said studs' or eyelets
pass through the said holes formed by the said additional bar. It will be seen
that as the said studs or eyelets bear upon the said additional bar the strain on the
said folded parts is lesseried and when they are worn through the brace tabs or
other like articles will still be secured to their buckles or fastenings.

We, THOMAS EVANS, of Summit Buckle Works, Walsall; Staffordshire, Manu-
facturer, and WILLIAM DEAYMAN, of 4, Sandwell Street, Walsall, aforesaid, Works
Manager, do hereby declare the nature of our invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN
SECURING THE TABS OF BRACES OR OTHER LIKE ARTICLES TO BUCKLES OR
FASTENINGS" and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement, reference being had to
the accompanying.drawing and to the letters and figures marked thereon, that is
to say :-
Our Invention relates to improvements in securing the tabs of braces or other
like articles to buckles or fastenings..
:
An ordinary method of securing a brace tab or other like article to a buckle or
fastening is to pass one end thereof around the bar of the buckle or fastening
forming thereby a loop, the said loop then being secured by a stud or eyelet. The
folded part of the loop, by rubbing on the bar, soon wears through and the brace
tab or other like article then becomes detached.

The object of our Invention is to provide means whereby the strain on the said
folded part will be lessened and, when, it is worn through, the brace tab or other
like article will still be secured to its buckle or fastening.
In carrying our Invention into practice we provide and form with the bar of
the buckle or fastening, to which the brace tabs or other like articles are to be
secured, an additional bar, which forms a hole or holes preferably of a circular or
oval shape outside the first named bar. The brace tabs or other like articles are
secured by folding and by ordinary studs or eyelets as at present, but the said
studs or eyelets pass through the said holes formed by the said additional bar.
It will be seen that as the said studs or eyelets bear upon the said additional bar
the strain on the said folded parts is lessened, and when they are worn through
the brace tabs or other like articles will still be secured to their buckles or
fastenings.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawing represents a brace buckle to which the
tabs can be secured in accordance with our Invention; Fig. 2 shews the same
buckle with the tabs in position ready for securing thereto; Fig. 3 is a section on
line X. X. of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 represents the same buckle with the tabs secured
thereto in accordance with our Invention; Fig. 5 is a section on line Y. Y. of
Fig. 4 and Fig. 6 shews a modified form of the buckle illustrated by Fig. 1.
The same letters of reference indicate the same parts in all the Figures....
a is a brace buckle having a bar b to which straps, brace tabs or other like
articles can be secured and d is an additional bar which, according to our Invention,
we form with and outside the said bar b, so as to make with the said bar b a hole ci
(see Fig. 6) or holes e², e³ (see Figs. 1, 2 & 4). The brace tabs c, c or other articles
to be secured to the buckle or fastening are folded round the bar 6 (see Figs. 2 & 3)
and then secured by ordinary studs or eyelets f, fas at present, but the said studs
or eyelets f, pass through the said hole e¹ or holes e³, e³ (see Figs, 4 & 5) so as to

page_text: bear upon the said additional bar d. Thus the strain on the folded parts c¹, c¹ of
the tabs c, c is lessened and when the said folded parts are worn through the brace
tabs c, c will still be secured to the buckle a by reason of the studs or eyelets f, f
passing through the said hole e¹ or holes e and e³.
We do not limit ourselves to any particular form of buckle or fastening and
when applying our Invention for securing the ends of straps, tabs and similar
articles to fastenings and buckles other than brace buckles we proceed similarly as
above described with referenco to a brace buckle and tabs..
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is
1. The improvements in securing straps, tabs of braces or other like articles to
buckles or fastenings hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawing; that is to say, forming an additional bar, d, outside the bar of the
buckle or fastening so as to leave a space or spaces between the said bars d and b
and securing the strap, brace tab or other like article to the buckle or fastening by
a stud or eyelet passing between the said bars b and d substantially as described
and illustrated.
י
2. A buckle or fastening having formed with the bar b, to which the strap,
brace tab or other like article is to be attached, an additional bar & forming a hole
or holes through which the fixing studs or eyelets may pass for the purpose and
substantially as described and illustrated.
