COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Fastening Device or Clasp for Gloves, Boots, and the
like.
I, FRANZ JULIUS HEINE, of 3, Nekazanka, Prague, in the Empire of Austria,
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:-
-
The fastening device or clasp for gloves, boots and the like which is shown in the
accompanying drawings consists of two parts, one of which is attached to the
part A to be fastened and the other to the second part B.
Figures 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4 and 4* are views in section and plan view respectively
of the parts constituting the fastening device;
Figures 5, and 5* are sectional and plan views respectively of the part e of the
device attached to the underneath portion of the article which is to be fastened ;
Figures 6 and 6* are sectional and plan views respectively of the fastening
head or knob f.
Figure 7 is a vertical section of the whole device attached to two pieces of
material.
The part of the fastener connected with the article or material A to be fastened
consists of separate parts a b c d, shown in Figures 1-4, which are connected
with the said part A in the ordinary manner by suitable flanging of the edges and
insertion one in another as shown in Figure 7. The cap-shaped part a which is
provided with a central opening has at its inner periphery some radially arranged
nicks or slots h by which means spring flaps g are produced which form the most
essential effective constituent of the fastening device.
The other principal part of the fastening which is attached to the part B of the
material to be fastened consists of two parts e and f, Figures 5 and 6, which
are also connected with one another by being flanged over (see Figure 7). The
part is stud shaped or provided with a head at its upper part, and this head is
inserted in the central opening of the part a for the purpose of forming the
fastening as shown in dotted lines in Figure 1 and in full lines in Figure 7.
the head f has a larger diameter than the distance between the spring flaps g of
the part a these latter on the insertion of the head fare pressed apart and after
the head has been fully inserted snap upon or clutch the same round its narrower
part or neck and thus prevent accidental opening of the fastening.
As
When it is desired to open the fastening the head f is drawn out of the part a,
the spring pressure of the flaps g having to be overcome.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
A fastener for gloves, boots and the like in which a fastening knob (f), which
has a head tapering to a narrow neck, is retained in a corresponding fastening

page_text: lug or eyelet by the latter snapping upon or clutching the neck of the stud by
means of spring flaps (g) formed by radial slits (h), substantially as hereinbefore
set forth.
