I CHARLES NEWBOLD EYLAND of Walsall in the County of Stafford Manufacturer,
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, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters and
figures marked thereon:-
This invention consists of several slightly varying arrangements by which a loop
or loops may be formed upon the buckles or fastenings for braces belts and such like
articles for the purpose of attaching the ring loop hook or cord of the tab of the
brace or the belt end such loop or loops being capable of being opened for such
purpose upon new and improved principles which will ensure more secure fastenings
than have hitherto been obtained.
Referring to the drawings
Figs. 1. 2 and 3 shew one way in which I do this (a) Fig. 1 is a portion of the
buckle brought down and formed into a hook to receive the brace or belt end
and (b) a piece of metal pivotted at the top and bent over so as to clip the hook (a)
the two pieces being made of metal will firmly grip together until pressure from the
thumb and finger releases the bent piece (b) at the point (c).
Fig. 2 is a slightly modified form of Fig. 1 by which the parts (a) and (b) may be
made to form a double loop.
Fig. 3 is another form in which the hook end of the piece (b) is made to spring
past the end of the hook (a).
Figs. 4 and 5 illustrate how these arrangements may be applied to a lever buckle
Fig. 4 being a section shewing the back plate (d) with teeth (e) and hook (a) and the
front plate (f) pivotted at the ends of the back plate (d) as shewn in Fig. 5, or the
same result would be obtained by the front plate (f) being placed at the back with
the slot (s) in it instead of in (d).
Fig. 6 illustrates in side elevation another mode of closing the hook (a) by forming
upon the sides of the lid or covering (b) projections or catches (a) which are sprung
past the edges of the hook (a) when closing down the lid.

page_text: Or as in Fig. 7 which shows the lid open pieces (to) may be turned up, from the
sides of the hook (a) which will be clipped by the catches ().
To cause the catches () to be sprung into position more readily and bo firmly
hold the hook (a) may he split down the middlo a piece of metal may be left upon
the hook (a) at the curve (y) Fig. 6 and turned over so as to give extra strength at
the point of greatest wear.
Another form is to construct the hook as illustrated by Fig. 8 in soction and Fig. 9
front view with lid opon so that before closing down the lid (b) the ring (2) can be
sprang over tho turned over end of the hook (p). With this form of hook tho
lid (b) may if desired be dispensed with. Any of the abovo described arrangements
may be applied to the lever buckles.
figs. 10. 11. and 12. illustrate several modes of attaching a lid to keep the ring or
other suitable attachment secure this lid (G) is pivotted at (4) and has an arm (i)
of such a length that when closed down as shown in Fig. 12. it forces forward the
plate () or as in Fig. 11 the hook portion (a) and causes it to impingo tightly against
the end of the arm () and thus forn a closed loop as shown.
Fig. 13 shews closed and Fig. 14 open an application of the lever lid principle to
the loop or bar of the buckle in which this loop or bar (m) is provided with an
arm (i) and hinged or pivotted at (4) the back plate (n) is formed as a spring
impinging against the arm () when closed down so as to hold it in position a suitable
catch may bo upon the end of the bar or loop (m) at (o) a ledge or projection (p)
will help to take the down strain on the loop (m).
Fig. 15 shews in section another form in which the hook (a) is closed by placing
between it and the plate (1) a spring formed of the piece of metal (2) doubled over
so as to cause the plate () to impinge against the end of the hook (a). Or the
position of the hook and plate may be reversed.
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. Constructing buckles and fastenings for braces belts and such like articles with
hooks and covering plates for the purpose of securing the rings loops hooks or cords
of the brace or bolt ends substantially as heroin set forth and specified.
2nd. Constructing the hook substantiallyas illustrated in Figs. 8 and, 9. with or
without the covering plate.
3rd. Constructing the hook with pieces turned up and folded over at the bend of
the hook substantially as described and illustrated in Fig. 6.
4th. Constructing the loop or bar of brace or belt buckles and fastenings
substantially as illustrated and described, in reference to Figs. 18 and 14.
