I EDWARD FISHER of 101 and 102 Wood Street, London, Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows:-
-
The object of this invention is to so make the head or face plate of a stud or button
fastener suitable for gloves and other articles, that when said head or face plate is
pushed through the button hole, the movement of one half of said plate shall cause
the other half to fold down upon the glove and lie uniform with the other half, each
half being held firmly.
For the purpose of my invention I form each plate in two pieces with gudgeons or
eyes which fit each other and are held by a spring and pin or pins, which spring is so
fitted that the two half plates may be kept open or shut.
The gudgeons and pin or pins serve as the joint on which the two half plates moye
these being connected to the stem or other part of the fastener.

page_text: I EDWARD FISHER of 101 and 102 Wood Street, London, Manufacturer do
hereby declare the nature of my said 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 this invention is to so make the head or face plate of a stud or button
fastener available for Gloves and other articles, that when said head or face plate is
pushed through the button hole the movement of one half of said plate shall cause the
other half to fold down upon the glove and lie uniform with the other half, such half
being held firmly.
For the purpose of my invention, which will be clearly understood by the following
description with reference to the annexed drawings, I form the outer dise or plate of,
say, a glove fastener stud in two pieces a,b,(Figure 1) with gudgeons or eyes e, e, the
roughened portions of which press against each other so that the movement of one is
communicated to the other so that they both move together in opening or closing them,
the journals are held by a spring d and acting against a shoulder e of one gudgeon to
enable the plates a, b, when opened up as in dotted lines to be passed edgewise through
the button hole.
The gudgeons e and pins serve as the joint on which the two half plates move, the
pins being connected to the stem carrying the other or base plate of the fastener
by which it can be secured to a glove by sewing or otherwise.
Figure 2 is a sectional view of a modified arrangement in which the spring dis
looped to both gudgeons at such a position that the plates,, are kept open or
closed by tension of the looped spring, a claw i on one and a recess in the other as
shown cause the two plates to move together.
Figures 3 and 4 show another modified construction in which the plates a, b, are
held in an open or a closed position by a spiral spring d acting on the head in the
stem g.
Figure is a sectional elevation in which the journals, e, of the two plates ab
have lugs kk on them for the looped spring d to press on, the spring rising in the
stem when the lugs kk are turned upwards by the opening of the plates a, . The
journals of these two plates are scored or roughened for surface contact as at Figures
1 and 4.
In Figure 6 the looped spring & attached to the two journals e descends in the
stemy when the plates are opened.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
The construction of a Fastener suitable for gloves and similar articles, in which the
face plate is composed of two pieces capable of being folded towards each other for
passing through an ordinary button hole and folded down to present a flat or
comparatively flat face and held by spring to secure the meeting parts as hereinbefore
described and shown.
