I, HENRY GEORGE PLANNER of 1 Ledbury Villas, Stuart Road Peckham Rye,
London, S.E. Ironmonger 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 :-
The object of my Invention is to construct a dress or brooch pin which is better
adapted for holding together portions or parts of wearing apparel and the like, and
attaching brooches to garments, than are the pins generally employed for these
purposes, as hitherto made or constructed.
In order that my Invention may be clearly understood, I have appended the accom-
panying sheet of drawings, in which Figures 1 and 2 represent a dress pin, and
Figures 3 and 4 a brooch pin, according to my said Invention.
I form these pins with heads and points in the usual manner, but between these I
corrugate, indent, crimp, or otherwise bend the wire forming said pin in such a
manner as to give the latter a wavy appearance, as shewn by Figure 1, although
the side view of the pin, Figure 2 presents a regular and even outline. I adapt this
arrangement to brooches, by crimping the pins thereof in a similar manner,
shewn by
Figures 3 and 4, which are side and plan views of a brooch pin, respectively.
I do not confine myself to the exact pattern of the corrugation, indentation, or
crimping of dress or brooch pins as shewn by the accompanying drawings, but may
vary the proportions thereof, or may leave a straight, or unbent part of the wire
forming said pins, alternately between the corrugations, indents, or crimped
parts thereof, or each alternate bend or crimp may be twisted so as to form a right,
or other angle to the preceding one. When pins, constructed according to my
Invention are used for the purposes to which such articles are adapted, these retain
a greater hold upon the fabric or material into which they are inserted, than the
ordinary plain pins as hitherto made, without the disadvantages, either of making a
larger hole than is usual, or tearing or fraying the texture of the cloth or fabric.
Greater security is ensured by the use of pins constructed according to my
invention, and the risk of said pins falling out of, or becoming detached from any
article of dress or material to which they may be applied, is thereby minimised.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is ;
In dress or brooch pins, the formation of corrugations, indents, or bends, by
crimping the wire constituting said pins, between the heads and points thereof,
substantially as and for the purposes herein described.
