PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvement relating to Hook and Eyelet Fasteners for Jackets
and other Articles of Wearing Apparel.
I, PIERRE ORLEANS, Confectioner, of 67 Kasernenstrasse, Düsseldorf, in the
German Empire, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to hook and eyelet fasteners for ladies' jackets and other
pieces of wearing apparatus and more particularly to the method or means of
attaching the hooks and eyelets to the woven fabric.
I first fix the hooks to a strip of strong woven fabric, or other suitable material
by means of rivete, so that they form a row and are placed at the required distance
apart, and the eyelets or loops by means of rivets to another strip of strong woven
fabric (or other suitable material) so as to form a corresponding row, and then
attach the said strips to the garment along the edges of the same by sewing or
other suitable means. The strips are preferably placed under the upper cloth or.
fabric forming the face of the wearing apparel, and may be covered at the back by
the lining or by special covering strips.
The strips carrying the metallic hooks, eyelets, or loops may have a core of
fishbone or other rigid material.
I prefer to use two rivets for each metallic hook and two rivets for each metallic
eyelet or loop.

Improvement relating to Hook and Eye Fasteners for Jackets
and other Articles of Wearing Apparel.
I, PIERRE ORLEANS, Tailor, of 67 Kasernenstrasse, Düsseldorf, in the German
Empire, 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 hook and eye fasteners for ladies' jackets, bodices and
.

page_text: similar pieces of wearing apparel, and more particularly to the method, or means
of attaching the hooks and eyes to the woven fabric.
I fix the hooks to a strip or ribbon of strong woven fabric (or other suitable
material) by means of rivets, so that they form a row and are placed at the required
distance apart, and the eyes to another strip of strong woven fabric (or other
suitable material), so as to form a corresponding row, or I fix the hooks and eyes
on each of the two strips in alternation, and then attach the said strips to the
garment along the edges of the same by sewing or other suitable means.
In the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1. represents a ladies' jacket provided with fasteners according to my
invention.
Fig. 2. is a front view of a portion of the fastening strips or ribbon and fasteners
on a larger scale.
Fig. 3. is a horizontal section corresponding to Fig. 2.
Fig. 4. is the same, without showing the adjoining part of the jacket or bodice.
In these drawings :
A indicates the eyes,
B the hooks,
O the fastening strips or ribbons of woven fabric, which may be single or folded
as shewn.
a,
b the rivets.
The strips are preferably placed under the upper cloth or fabric F, F, forining
the face of the wearing apparel, and covered at the back by the lining or by
special covering strips or flaps D, D.
The strips carrying the metallic hooks, or eyes may have a core C, C', of
whalebone, steel or other rigid material, and a metallic washer, or plate may be
inserted between the rivet head and the strip or ribbon of textile material at the
back of the latter.
I prefer to use two rivets for each metallic hook, and two rivets for each
metallic eye, one at each end, as shewn, so that the rivet passes through the orifice
usually employed for sewing the metallic hook or eye onto the cloth, and that the
flat end of the rivet covers the said orifice.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same may be performed, I declare that I claim :
Securing hook and eye fasteners by rivetting, said fasteners to strips of textile
fabric, and then sewing (or otherwise fixing) the said strips along the edges of the
garment, substantially as described.
Dated this 18th day of June 1894.
