Improvements in Braces and in Buckles therefor.
FREDERICK AUGUSTUS RICHARDSON 52 Wilton Road Pimlico, S.W. Hosier do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A brace buckle comprised of three or more fixed bars, one or more having teeth
to fasten into web when strain on buckle is applied. The buckle would also consist
of a flat plate being part of lower bar having teetn turned over on its edges or
otherwise to clip the usual leather or other fittings which would probably be in one
piece.
ends into.
The said plate on buckle might also be made with hook, eyelot or stud to fix brace
The said ends would be formed in one piece or more laid on a plate of
metal at junction having teeth turned over as fixings instead of stitching, eyelots or
rivets and connected to buckle by the said hook eyelot or stud in buckle plate.

Improvements in Braces and in Buckles therefor.
FREDERICK AUGUSTUS RICHARDSON 52 Wilton Road Pimilco, Hosier 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 improvement consists in fixing brace ends or backs by means of metal tongues
or teeth instead of the usual stitching eyelot or rivets by which greater strength
can be obtained whether part of or detached from buckle as described. A brace
buckle (Fig. 1) comprised of three or more fixed bars, one or more bars having
needle points or teeth to fasten into web. Buckle would be either in one piece with
needle points (or spikes connected by rod) laid into position and welded to said bar
by turning over a portion of bar or by making buckle in two half hollow sides and
laying such spikes or needle points between then welding the whole together. The
buckle could also consist of a flat plate or plates divided or otherwise being part of
lower bar or bars having tongues or teeth turned over on its edges or other part to
clip the usual leather or other fittings known as ends. Fig. 2 and Fig. 2×.
Plate or divided plates Fig. 3 could also be detached from buckle and swung on its
lower bar by means of a loop or loops (b) being prevented from pulling away by a
notch (a) acting as a lock when side tongues or teeth of plate were turned down as
shewn in Fig. 3x with leathers attached by means of side teeth Fig. 4 (divided plate).
Plate or divided plates Fig. 5 could also be used to fix ends to buckle by means of
teeth or a tongue or tongues formed from its centre or ends or both, one way being
shown complete in Fig. 6 and described by Fig. 5 as follows:-In this case one end
of plate is perforated with slot (a) or edge otherwise cut into as a guide, through
which tongue or tooth (6) formed out of other end passes at right angles (turned
inwards) when plate is folded over Fig. 5x to form loop passed over buckle bar.
Another tongue or tooth is formed out of centre (c) and turned up the reverse way
to tooth (6) the leather would then be passed over loop and teeth (b and c)
penetrating leather pressed down right and left or otherwise when the whole thing
would be firmly held together (Fig. 6).
The same result can be obtained by means of one long tooth cut from centre (or
otherwise) of plate laced in and out of leather so gripping metal and leather all
together

page_text: 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 :
Firstly. The method of fixing backs of braces and leather ends to plate or brace
ends to buckle by means of teeth or tongues formed out of plate or plates of metal
part of buckle as described (Figs. 2 and 2×).
Secondly. The method of fixing brace ends to buckle or ring of back piece or
backs of braces to said ring by means of a plate or plates of metal made as described
Fig. 3, with teeth or tongues turned up from sides, which either enter slits in leather
laid on and are turned down or said teeth can be bound over edge of leather.
Thirdly. The method of fixing brace ends or backs to plate or plates by means of
teeth as described Fig. 5.
Fourthly. The method of making (as described) buckle with needle points Fig. 1.
