PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Tab or Button-hole to be used in connection with
Braces, Body Belts, and the like.
We, GEORGE BUCKLEY and FRED BUCKLEY, of the Firm of Walsh and
Brierley, of Beech Hill Mills, Halifax, in the County of York, Belt, Brace, and
Umbrella Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows
-
This invention has reference to means to be employed for strengthening button
holes in the tabs of braces, body belts, diggers' belts, ladies' belts, and button
holes for leather collais.
According to our invention we stitch a piece of twine or cord around the edge
of the tab. We may also stitch a piece of sting, twine, cord, leather, or other
like material around the button hole
To effect the stitching readily and accurately it will be preferable to pass the
tab together with the cord, between a pan of squeezing rollers so as to broaden or
Hatten the cord, in order that the sewing needle and thread may pierce and pass
through the flattened twine or cord. When the cord has been stitched to the tab
it may or may not be covered with a layer of cotton flannel. Tabs and button
holes strengthened by the stitching of cord or twine as herein described will be
more durable and less liable to split or be torn than those without the cord.
If any difficulty is experienced with the cold moving about on the tab when
stitching, the tab may be indented and the cord placed in such indentations so as
to prevent the cord moving about
Dated thus 4th of October 1894.
