page_text: I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co. Patent Agents,
Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex, 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 a fastening device for gloves, garments, and similar uses,
one member of which is a ball, stud, post or analogous device, and the other member
of which comprises a device adapted to receive and grasp or hold the ball, stud, or
post member, and my present invention relates especially to this last named fastening
or member of a fastening.
The fastening comprises, as a rule, three material or essential parts, viz.:-the piece
called the cap, the collet or part which actually holds the ball, post or stud, and the
part or section which acts to fasten the collet and cap to the material of the glove or
other article. These parts or pieces may be separate or they may be in a measure
integral, and I have represented both forms of organization in the drawings. In
addition to the parts mentioned, there may also be used a stay piece interposed between
the collet and the cap, which may be a separate piece or may be formed from the
metal of the cap, of the collet, or of the part which fastens the cap and collet in
place. In some instances the cap may be dispensed with, in which case, of course,
there is no necessity for a stay piece.
In the accompanying drawings-
Figures 1-10 and Figures 11-17 inclusive represent the collet as integral with

page_text: the cap, and in Figures 1-10 the fastening prongs are also represented as integral
with the metal of the cap, in Figures 11-17 the fastening prongs are integral with
the stay piece.
In Figures 18-26 inclusive the cap is represented as separated from the coilet, and
the stay piece is represented as having prongs for securing the collet and cap to the
material.
In Figures 27-34 inclusive the collet is represented as a separate piece from the
cap, the stay piece is represented without prongs or fastening extensions, and the cap
and collet are secured in place by a pronged washer.
In Figures 35-47 inclusive the collet is represented as separate from the cap,
while the fastening arms or devices and stay piece are shown as integral with the
collet or cap.
In Figures 48 51 inclusive the collet is represented as split and
cap, a separate stay piece is shown, and the collet is represented as
arms extending from it for securing the cap and collet in place.
hole in the material is shown as bound by an eyelet.

The edge of the
In Figures 52-62 the cap is represented as separate from the collet, and a split
eyelet is shown as held by the collet and cap acting as a stay and also as a section of
the collet, and the collet has fastening arms for securing it to the glove or other
fabric.
Figures 63-69 inclusive represent the cap separate from the collet and the employ-
ment of a split eyelet which is held to the cap by the collet, and the cap, collet, and
split eyelet held or secured to the material by a flanged eyelet, the sleeve or cylindrical
section of which passes through the hole in the material and is upset against the under
surface of the flange of the split eyelet to lap or extend upon the inner surface of the
collet.
In Figures 70-74 inclusive the cap is dispensed with and the split eyelet is
represented as secured directly to the collet and the collet and split eyelet are fastened
in place by a flanged eyelet.
A is the cap, B the stay piece, C the collet, and D the fastening arms, fastening
eyelet, or other fastening device, and these parts are referred to by these letters
throughout the specification whether they are integral as above indicated with each
other or not.
Figure 1 represents a plan view of the blank from which the cap and integral
collet and integral fastening arms are made, the cap being formed from the section a,
the collet from the sections a' and the fastening arms from the sections a² by shaping
the blank to the form represented in Figures 3 and 4. The stay piece is represented
in Figures 5 and 6 as a separate piece and has the flange b and the cylindrical
section, and the fastening assembled and secured to the imaterial is represented in
Figure 9.
E is the ball, post, or stud, and the relation which it bears to the other member of
the fastening when the two parts are together is illustrated in Figure 10.
In Figure 11 I represent a blank for making the cap and collet integral, and this
blank is formed into the shape represented in Figures 12 and 13, and has holes f
formed therein through which the fastening arms D extend which are represented as
extending from the stay piece, the stay piece being shaped as represented in
Figure 15. The fastening as assembled and secured to the material is represented
in Figure 16, and in connection with the ball, post, or stud member in Figure 17.
In Figures 20 and 21 the collet is represented as a separate piece, and the cap is
also shown as a separate part formed from a circular disc, and it is united to the
collet by drawing or turning its edge upon the under surface thereof. The collet
has holes through which the fastening arms integral with the stay piece extend.
The fastening assembled is represented in Figure 22 and in connection with the
ball, post, or stud member in Figure 23.
Figure 24 is a view in vertical section of the socket member of a fastening
representing the cap as secured to the collet, and the collet as fastened in place

page_text: by a fastening of the shape represented in Figures 25 and 26 a member or portion
of said fastening or that part between the collet and the under surface of the cap,
acting as a stay and the extensions or ends acting as prongs which extend through
holes in the collet and the material and are turned or bent upon the under surface
of tho material or a washer placed against the same to secure the cap and collet
to it.
In Figure 33 the collet is represented as separate from the cap, the cap being made
from a circular disc and having its edge drawn or lapped upon the under surface
of the collet. The stay piece has a flange provided with a point, turning recess
arranged over holes in the collet, and the collet, cap and stay piece are secured to
the material by a washer having arms which extend through the holes in the collet
and are turned in the recess of the stay piece flange. The fastening as thus
assembled is shown in Figure 33, and in connection with the ball, post or stud
member in Figure 34.
In Figure 37 the collet is also represented as separate from the cap, the cap being
united thereto by its edge being folded or drawn upon the collet. The stay piece is
represented as formed from the metal of the collet by extending upwardly sections
thereof, and the fastening arms are also represented as formed integral with the collet
by striking downward sections therefrom which pass through the material and holes
in the under washer. The parts as assembled and attached to the material are
represented in Figure 37, and in connection with the ball, post, or stud in Figure 38.
In Figures 48 and 49 the cap and collet are separate and united to each other as
above specified whore made in separate parts, and the collet has fastening arins struck
down from the metal thereof and is adapted to yield laterally by means of the slit g;
It also preferably is provided with the lips g'. The parts as assembled and attached
to the material are represented in Figure 49, and as used in connection with the ball,
post, or stud in Figure 50.
In Figure 58 the collet and cap are separate, the cap being united to the collet by
turning or drawing its edge upon the under surface thereof. The collet has arms by
which the fastening is secured in place, and in lieu of forming directly upon the
collet the grasping or holding section, such section is represented as formed by a split
eyelet which also acts as a stay, the grasping portion of the split eyelet H (see
Figures 54 and 55) being in substance a continuation of the collet; and the remaining
section of the collet acts as a stay. The parts as assembled together and attached to
the material are represented in Figure 58, and as connected with the ball, post, or
stud in Figure 59.
In Figure 68 I show the cap separate from the collet as completed by means of an
independent split cyclet, the flange of which is separate from the cap by a stay, the
cap is united to the collet by drawing or folding its edge upon the under surface of
the collet, and the collet, split eyelet, and cap are secured in place by a flanged eyelet,
the barrel of which is inserted from the other side of the material through a hole
formed therein so that its end passes between the split eyelet and the edge of the
collet and is upset by coming in contact with the surface of the split eyelet to extend
upon the inner surface of the collet. The parts as assembled are represented in
Figure 68, and as connected with the ball, post, or stud member in Figure 69.
In Figure 72 the cap is represented as dispensed with and the split eyelet as
provided with an extension which in part takes the place of the cap and the edge of
which is drawn or folded about the under surface of the collet and the parts are
secured in place by a flanged eyelet, the cylindrical part of which passes through the
hole in the material and is upset upon the collet. The parts as thus assembled and
attached to the material are represented in Figure 72, and in connection with the
ball, post, or stud in Figure 73.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed as communicated to me by my
foreign Correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :-
First. A member of a fastening device having as material parts thereof a collet, a

page_text: cap, and a stay piece and fastening arms or device cither in separate pieces or integral
in part as herein specified.
Second. The combination of the ball, post, or stud member of the fastening device
