PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Button or Fastener for Garments and other purposes.
I, JOHN TURNER Worth Matravers Wareham Dorset, Dairyman, do hereby,
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-—
This invention relates to fasteners for readily connecting garments or gloves
and may be used for the purpose of connecting other articles such as chains,
ropes and such like. The invention consists essentially of two parts a right and
left hand part, resembling buttons, which are suitably connected to corresponding
parts of the garment or article to be joined or connected. One part carries a
metal or other loop upon the outside face & the other part carries a spring catch
which engages with the loop and secures the connection.
I find it convenient
to make both the right and left hand parts in two disconnectable pieces,
secured by a screw which project from a tube or casing. The screw is counter-
sunk in one of the parts and after passing through the hole in the garment,
screws into the other part, with its connecting part outwards, ready to be con-
nected for instance to the right hand piece.
