Complete Specification Left, 7th June, 1889-Accepted, 13th July, 1889
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Fastenings to be Used as Sleeve Links and for
other Purposes.
I, CHARLES JACKSON of 224 Herbert Road, Birmingham, Engineer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows
--
In the Specification of a former application lodged by me on the 13th of
October 1887, No. 13910, I described a sleeve link or fastening which was so con-
structed that it was first attached to one of the thicknesses of fabric to be held
together and which carried a hook or clasp to secure the second thickness of fabric.
My present invention relates to the form of clasp used in fastenings of this descrip-
tion to attach them to the first thickness of fabric-I employ for this purpose a single
spring hook or clasp similar to the hook d described in my former specification and
lying beneath it or I employ an oblong stud or bar which after being passed length-
wise through the button hole can be turned transversely to it being kept in position by
a spring pressing upon its axis.

declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-

statement:

In the Specification of a former application lodged by me on the 13th of
October 1887, No. 139.10, I described a sleeve-link or fastening which was so con-
structed that it was first attached to one of the thicknesses of fabric to be held together
and which carried a hook or clasp to secure the second thickness of fabric.
My present invention relates to the form of clasp used in fastenings of this
description to attach them to the first thickness of fabric-I employ for this purpose a
single spring hook or clasp similar to the hook d described in my former specification
and lying beneath it or employ an oblong stud or bar which after being passed
lengthwise through the button hole can be turned transversely to it being kept in
position by a spring pressing upon its axis.
In order that iny said invention may be more fully understood and readily carried
into effect I will proceed to describe the drawings hereunto annexed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.

page_text: Figure 6 is a longitudinal section of a modified fastening, and
Figure 7 is a plan.
Figuro is a transverse section on the line X X, Figure 7, of the foundation
plate A.
.
As shown in Figures 7 and 8 the portions A¹ A¹ of this plate are turned up forming
lugs to receive the axes of the spring hooks Cand. D. The hook (is forked (see
figure), the hook D lying between the arms of the fork. This construction admits
of the hinges of the hooks being closer together than in the construction shown in
Figures 1 and 3. The tail ends of the hooks C and D rest upon the ends of the
spring E which is rivetted at F to the plate A as shown in Figure 6.
Figure 9 shows a modification in which the hook C is replaced by a pivotted bar or
stud G. H is a spring to prevent the stud G from turning too readily.
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. A fastening consisting of a plate having hinged to it two spring hooks which
close down towards each other and which when closed lie the one over the other
substantially as described.
2. A fastening consisting of a plate having pivotted to it a bar or stud and
having hinged to it a spring hook which closes down over the stud.
3. Fastenings substantially as described and shown in the drawings.
