Dated this 8th day of August 1895.
I ELIZA WESTLEY Addington Park Croydon in the County of Surrey 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:
My invention relates to improved buckle (improvements in buckles) are to
fasten easily to waist bands and anything else; by means of pin, or pins, pin or
pins being attached to buckle (buckles); for the purpose to pin them on to waist
bands and other things.
I have ascertained which is the best and quickest way to attach buckles to waist
bands and other things.
Which is a great advantage for washing dresses; as they ironmould if left on
while being washed; and more especially needed for the expensive buckles; as a
buckle can be changed quite easily and quickly by pinning it on to anything.
What is greatly needed to change it quickly so that the same buckle can be
worn with any dress waist-band, or anything else.
Here I insert full description of my invention; and herewith I give a distinct
statement for claim, how my invention is to be made and preformed.
It is to have one two or four pins attached to buckle, for the purpose to pin it
on to waist bands and other things.
For most buckles one pin will be enough for each buckle; for a buckle with
two clasps, one pin on each clasp; that will be two on the buckle. This will
answer the purpose equally as well as more pins.
It is not absolutely necessary to have more than one pin on each buckle; only
when it is a clasp buckle, and then one on each clasp would be enough. A very
expensive buckle could have two pins on each clasp; that would be four on the
buckle; also when it is to be pinned on to very thick things fur cloaks etc.
Its only advantage being; it would be absolutely safe, and stronger for the two
extra pins attached to clasps.
The pin or pins are to be attached to buckles also to clasps the same as they are
attached to brooches.
Only the catch where the pin is inserted it must be wider than the catch of a
brooch that is to prevent it catching into the dress or anything else, when pinned
the clasp buckle and buckle must have a perfectly smooth surface.

page_text: In order that my invention should be thoroughly understood, I now proceed to
discribe the accompanying drawing thereof reference being had to letters and
figures thereon marked.
The pin or pins are to be fastened on to buckles and buckles with clasps on the
buckle; also on the clasp the same as they are fastened on to brooches.
References being had to letters and figures marked thereon; pins to be attached
to buckles with clasps and buckles, as the accompanying drawings and to any other
shape buckles.
The pin or pins are to be attached to clasps and buckles exactly the same as
they are attached to brooches, as skeetches here given, also to any clasps and
buckles. Figures of drawings are 1. 2. 3. 4 and any others buckles. Where the
pin or pins are joined on to clasps and buckles is marked a the point of the pin b.
Where the catch is joined on to clasps & buckles c and the opening corner of the
catch C, C, where the joint of pin will be inserted when pinned.
When the pin is fastened the point 6 must be covered by the catch something
like a safety pin's catch therefore the catch c of a clasp and buckle for the pin b. to
be inserted in will have to be wider than the catch of a brooch. The pin or pins
must be thicker than an ordinary brooch pin.
The catch will have to be round shape oval for the pin 6 to fit into and the
corner of the catch cc must be bent round for the catch c, Figs. 1 2 3 4 and other
given to keep the point of the pin perfectly secure when fastened.
The catch e must be joined on to the outer end of the clasps and buckles (of
course underneath), where the point of the pin will be inserted that is the corner c c
is to be opposite to the hook and catch (for fastening) of clasps also the teeth or
prongs of buckles Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4; and other sketches as herein enclosed. Then
there will be no possibility of them coming unpinned; as it will pull from where
the catches are joined on to clasps and buckles.
It will be understood that the foregoing and the drawings are given by way of
illustration, and that the shape materials and parts may be varied in many ways
within the scope of my invention, and that pins may be attached to any shape
clasps and to any shape buckles that made and to those that will be made the pins
to be put to any shape clasp and to any shape buckle.
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 what I claim is :-
Improved buckle (improvements in buckles) applicable to waist bands and other
things by having pin or pins attached to buckles-also (clasp buckles) to clasps for
the purpose of pinning buckles and clasps on to waist bands and other things, as
herein decribed.
