PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Buckles.
ISAAC STANLEY Junr. 40 New Rowley Street Walsall Clerk do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
"
One or more of the bars, or portions of the frame of buckles shall be made to
form or carry loops or shanks, either cast whole as an integral part of such buckle
or, being separately cast or wire made, such loops or shanks may, by "laying-in
in process of casting, become one with buckles. These shanks or loops are intended
to be received by suitable slots or punctures in the material or fabric to which
buckles are to be attached, and penetrating such material &c. shall present on the
underside of material a sufficient portion of themselves to allow of such shanks
or loops being secured by means of a split-ring, wire rod, split-pin, or other
contrivance or such loops or shanks may be secured to the material, fabric &c.
without penetrating such material &c. viz. by means of sewing or wiring or other
contrivance to the top side of such material, leather, cloth, canvas
fabric.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Buckles.
I ISAAC STANLEY Junr., of New Rowley Street, Walsall, in the County of
Stafford, Clerk, 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 improvement relates to that part of the frame of a buckle by which its
connection is made with any article to be mounted with a buckle.
Such part is commonly known and is herein called the "bar."
Upon the middle of this bar, equi-distant from the ends, I make, form or adjust
a projection or spur (shortly called herein the spur) which becomes the medium of
attachment of the buckle to the material of any article to be mounted with a
buckle.
"
This spur may be made or formed with the bar, as an integral part of it, by
casting, stamping or working in wire; or may be separately made and "let in
the bar in process of casting or stamping; or the bar may be cast, stamped or
formed with a hole or slot, equi-distant from the ends, to enable it to receive a
similar spur; or the bar may be made of wire and such spur worked in or with
the wire, or the buckle frame, bar and spur may be worked up together in or with
wire.
The bar may preferably be shortened by so much of its length as is not taken
up by the root of the spur, and the sides of buckle frame may be led towards and
into such root.
The spur may be variously shaped as into a shank or loop; spike or rivet ; staple
or split-tang; spiral or crescent.
It may be adapted to be secured, as by sewing, to the face or top side of the
material of any article to be mounted with a buckle, or adapted to penetrate such
material (with or without a puncture having first been made in such material to
D71

page_text: receive it) and to be secured on the back or underside of such material by any
appropriate means.
For example-a shank or loop may be secured by a "split-ring"; a spike or rivet
by a "washer"; a staple or split-tang-by turning, the legs of such back upon
themselves; a spiral or crescent-by suitable twisting into position.
Provision is made for the buckle tongue where necessary by throwing out a loop
from the bar upon which the tongue may be hung, or in the case of wire made bars
or buckles by threading the tongue in or with the wire of which buckle or buckle
bar is made.
In all cases so that the spur may emerge at a point or points equi-distant from
the ends of the bar.
L
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 :-
To simply the attachment of a buckle to any article to be mounted with a buckle,
by providing a central spur as herein described, by means of which and an
appropriate finial alone the attachment is made.
Dated this 30th day of May 1894.
