Improved Construction of Button Fasteners for Gloves.
I EDWARD FISHER of 101 & 102 Wood Street, city of London, Manufacturer
do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same
is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
This invention has for object a novel construction of fasteners for gloves, notably
from the following combination of appliances. An exterior circular, oval or elliptical
top, an internal circular or other shaped bulb, an oval, elliptical, or circular holed
eyelet for the reception of a striated, an oval, a split oval, two semi-spheres, or a
circular headed stud.
My invention will be clearly understood by the annexed drawings.
Figure 1 is a section of the cap A.
Figure 2, section of the cap core or liner B.
Figure 3 section of crown C with eyelet ring (".
Figure 4 section of fastening ring D.
Figure 5, section of all the above parts in the respective positions they occupy when
secured to the fabric E of a glove, and constitute the appliance for going over or of
being forced over the split stud or bulb F, with wings G, G, of which
Figure 6 is a side elevation and
Figure 7 a plan.
Figure 8 shows a broad ring H with two segmental shaped lugs I, I.
Figure 9 is a sectional elevation of those appliances showing the respective positions
they occupy when secured to the other portion of a glove, a fastening ring corre-
sponding to that shown at Figure 4 being used on the inner face of the glove
leather to fix the appliance outside of the leather.
Figure 10 represents the inner face of the fastener ring D and segmental shaped
lugs I, I, pressed down upon the ring D.
According to the annexed drawings the glove fastener is of circular form, but the
cap A and cap core or liner B may be of oval or elliptical shape and the bulb F which
is also shown of circular shape may by pressing the half cups farther apart be of
oval shape corresponding to that of the cap and of the crown C the lower part C¹ of
which constitutes the eyelet; again the stud F may be stamped or pressed with a
circular bulbous head or it may have straight vertical exterior with slits so that the
weakened side would yield to the strain of the eyelet when passed over the head of
the stud, and if desired the cap-core or liner B may be of a shape other than circular.

page_text: It will be observed by the foregoing description and by the annexed drawings that
the cap and eyelet portion of my Glove Fastener is composed of three pieces of metal,
shaped to fit within, or upon each other by simply placing B into C and by burring
the edge A¹ of the piece A over the edge of C, also that the stud or bulb portion is
composed of two pieces of metal of which by a burring of the edge of H over the
edges of the wings G, G, they are attached.
In both of the above combinations it is only necessary to use a ring or washer D
over the tubular part of C and another over the segmental lugs I, I, after those
parts have been pushed through the holes prepared for them in the wrist portion of a
glove and then by pressure swaging the projecting ends of C¹ and I, I, outwards and
down upon the washers D. D.
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
1. The improved construction of Button Fastener for Gloves as hereinbefore
described and as shown on the annexed drawings.
2. The particular formation of the cap-core or liner B as an intermediate body
between the cap A and crown C in which the eyelet C¹ forms a part of the same
piece of metal as shown on the drawings and as hereinbefore described.
3. The combination of three shaped pieces of metal A B. C and constituting in
their combined form the cap proper of a Glove Fastener as described with reference
to Figure of the annexed drawings.
4. The shaped piece of metal H, I for the attachment of wings G forming the
base of the stud or bulb F, the two pieces when clamped together constituting the
button proper of a glove fastener as described with reference to Figure 9 of
the annexed drawings.
