Buckle Maker, do bereby 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 :-
The invention relates to two parts fastening.
1st. The right hand part has 2 projections turned up with oval ends, see
The ovals are made for the fastening of the right hand part.
"
"A."
2nd. The left hand side has 2 oval balls projecting out, inside of which are
2 grooves, see B," these grooves are made for the right hand part to loop into
which when done, are fastened together shewing 4 balls. The length of the band
or belt is adjusted by runners as usual or may be adjusted by 1 tong on each
fastener. The fastening means may be employed in connection with clasps or the
like or they may be carried by single frames or double loop frames. This said
invention has for its object a simple & ready means of fastening the dress belts,
bands & other similar articles together.
The belt fastening may be made with 1, 2, 3 or 4 distinct loop ball fastenings
which give an equal appearance to the fastener.
The adding on of 2 (or more) small oval balls at the end of the grooves as
"D" and
shewn in section 2 see "B" also the cranking of these 2 oval balls see
being raised upwards then rests on the bar at "C" of sec. 1. This is the principle
by which A & D become locked or fastened together, and by this means become
an equal fastening as shewn in Figure I.

page_text: This invention relates to improvements in 2 parts fastenings for securing the
ends of the dress belts, bands & other similar articles together, as in section 2.
The balls at point "D" being cranked, are passed over the balls at point "A"
then rest on the bar at point "C." The 2 balls as marked "A
" are made at the
end of a projecting branch; the branch is deepened so as to allow of the
balls "A to be put underneath the groove "B" which thus fasten or connect
the 2 parts together as before described.
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 :-
1st. In dress belt or band fastening means consisting of 2 or more outstanding
balls or branches on one part.
2nd. The small oval balls at the end of groove of the other part which are
cranked or raised upwards so as to fasten the 2 parts together, both parts being
carried by frames, carriers or other attachments as described and set forth.
Dated this 9th day of April 1895.
