PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION..
Improvements in Fastenings for Straps, Gloves, Purses, Gaiters, and
the like.
I, CHARLES HENRY STANBURY, of 91, Fleet Street, in the City of London,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object the construction of a fastening suitable for
securing straps, gloves, purses, gaiters," and such like articles in such a manner
that the strap or other part to be secured may pass through the fastening in a
straight or nearly straight course thereby avoiding the unsightly bulging caused
by the use of the ordinary buckle. I form the fastening from a flat shaped
piece of metal, I first cut or stamp on three sides a suitably shaped piece from the
centre of the plate and fold this back on itself to form a loop to which one end
of the strap may permanently be fastened. Outside this I cut or stamp (also on
three sides) another piece which is to form a spring tongue this I arm with teeth
or pins. In the arms of the T shaped piece of metal I form holes to receive these
pins. I then fold over and inwards the arms of the T bringing them together
to form a loop through which the strap is passed when in use.
In use the strap is passed round the article to be secured its free end is passed
through the loop and when drawn sufficiently tight the pins carried by the spring
tongue will pass through holes in the strap into the holes formed in the upper
surface of the lock and so the strap will be firmly held.
In order to unfasten the strap I use a small lever or wedge inserted under the
spring tongue to remove the pins from the holes in the loop and strap.
In some cases in place of forming the fastening from a T shaped piece of metal
I use a rectangular piece. In this case the loop through which the strap is passed
is formed by raising and turning over the front end of the plate. In use its
action is the same as that previously described.
In place of the pins carried by the spring tongue springing into the holes in
the strap and loop they may be forced upwards by a slide and when the slide is
moved backwards they may spring out of these holes and so unfasten the strap.
In some cases in place of the spring tongue previously described I use a slide
carried by the sides of the fastening which when the strap is drawn through the
loop draws the slide with it and so wedges the strap in the loop of the fastening
the underside of the loop and the upper surface of the slide may be formed with
teeth or roughened for further security.
In all cases I have spoken of a strap but all these fastenings may be employed
where an ordinary strap and buckle is used.
In all cases these fastenings may be made from a single flat piece of metal by
the use of suitably formed cutters, stamps and dies, thus rendering them stronger,
more easily manufactured, and more sightly.

Improvements in Fastenings for Straps, Gloves, Purses, Gaiters, and
the like.
I, CHARLES HENRY STANBURY, of 91, Fleet Street, in the City of London,
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:
_
This invention has for its object the construction of a fastening suitable for
securing straps, gloves, purses, gaiters, garters, and such like articles in such a
manner that the strap or other part to be secured may pass through the fastening
in a straight or nearly straight course thereby avoiding the unsightly bulging
caused by the use of the ordinary buckle. I form the fastening from a flat piece
of metal of suitable shape. I first cut or stamp on three sides a piece from the
centre and fold this back on itself to form a loop to which one end of the strap
is permanently fastened. I also cut and stamp the opposite end of the plate to
from a loop through which the strap is passed. I use a slide carried by the sides
of the fastening and having pins or projections upon it which when the strap is
drawn through the loop pass into holes formed in the strap and securely hold it.
Figure 1 shews a plan and Figure 2 a section of my improved fastening it con-
sists of a plate of metal a from which I cut on three sides and fold back the piece a¹
and between this piece and the plate one end of the strap bis permanently secured,
I also cut away a piece from the opposite end of the plate leaving the bar c.
afterwards bend up this bar to form a loop through which the strap is passed as
shewn. d is a slide carried by the sides of the plate and having pins or projec-
tions formed upon it, these when the strap is drawn tight pass into holes therein
and secure it firmly the pins by the tension of the strap 6 being drawn firmly
against the bar c as shewn. To disconnect the fastening the slide is drawn back
and the end of the strap removed from the pins d'.
I
Figures 3 and 4 shew a modification in which both ends of the plate are bent,
one to form the permanent connection for the strap and the other to form the
loop through which the strap is passed. is the slide carrying pins as in the
arrangement previously described. These fastenings may be made from a single
flat piece of metal by the use of suitably formed cutters dies and stamps thus
rendering them stronger more easily manufactured and more sightly.
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:-
:-
The construction of fastenings for securing straps, gloves, purses, gaiters,
garters, and the like in the manner substantially as shewn and described.
