I FREDERICK HOCHULY, of 8 Union Court, Old Broad Street, in the City of
London, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN JOINTED PAPER FASTENERS, AND IN PRESSES FOR ATTACHING AND
FIXING THE SAME," communication from Arthur Lotz, of Paris, in the Republic of
France, Manufacturer,. to be as follows :—
Hitherto various forms of paper fasteners some with fixed suspension rings, and.
others with moveable suspension rings, have been manufactured, the latter having
the ring fixed to a loop, through which it passes.
Now the object of my invention is to manufacture such fasteners so that the
suspension ring may be attached to, and partially rotate upon, a rivet, pin, hook,
loop, or other mechanical equivalent which unites the same together. The press
for inserting, attaching and fixing the fastening into the paper, being also suited
to its form and mode of action.
In carrying out my invention, I form the fastener (separately from the ring) of
an elongated shape, the two ends of which are intended to pierce the paper and
close behind the same, and the middle portion of such fastener is of an ornamental
character, and pierced with one or more hole or holes. In these holes a rivet, hook,
loop, or equivalent appliance is inserted for fixing the fastener and ring together,
in such a manner that the two are not rigidly united, but so that a certain amount
of "play" can take place, the suspension ring being capable of partial rotation
upon the joint. The lower end of the ring is suitably formed, for uniting the
same, either with a hook, rivet-hole or holes, or equivalent appliance or provision.
The press made use of in connection with, and forming part of, my said
invention, is mounted upon a suitable stand or bed plate, upon which bearings are
mounted for sustaining the lower end of a lever.-The upper end of this lever
carries a barrel having a central bar, thumb disc, and spring. The bar is square in
section. The spring draws the bar backwards in the barrel after it has been thrust

page_text: forward to insert the fastener. Another spring is fitted at the foot of the lever, to
raise the same after pressing; a suitable stop being provided to limit its action.
In using the press, the fastener is inserted in the mouth of the barrel, which
holds it, by friction, with sufficient firmness to prevent its falling out. The paper
or other article is then laid on the stand or bed plate: the barrel at the upper end
of the lever is then pressed downwards, and the ends of the fastener enter and pass
through the paper. These ends are then caused to fold together by a sunk space
in the bed plate, which operation securely fastens the same, and completes the
fastening of the paper or other article.
The "ring" of the fastener may be made of any desired shape, and ornamented,
and may be used to suspend the article, or for other convenient purposes.

Attaching and Fixing the same.
FREDERICK HOCHULY, of 8 Union Court, Old Broad Street, in the City of
London, merchant do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVE-
MENTS IN PAPER-FASTENERS AND IN PRESSES FOR ATTACHING THE SAME and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
1
Hitherto various forms of paperfasteners, some with fixed suspension rings, and
others with moveable suspensionrings, have been manufactured, the latter having
the ring fixed to a loop, through which it passes.
Now the object of my invention is to manufacture such fasteners so that the
suspension ring may be attached to, and partially rotate upon, a rivet, pin, hook,
loop, or any other mechanical equivalent which unites the same together. The
press for inserting, attaching and fixing the fastening into the paper being also
suited to its form and mode of action.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and
ascertained, reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings.
In carrying out my invention, I form the fastener f Figures 1 and 1d (separately
from the ring) of an elongated shape, the two ends of which are intended to pierce
the paper and close behind the same; and the middle portion of such fastener is of
an ornamental character, and pierced with one or more hole or holes. In these
holes a rivet, hook, loop, or equivalent appliance is inserted Figures 1 to 5, for
fixing the fastener and ring r Figures to 5 together, in such a manner that the
two are not rigidly united, but so that a certain amount of "play" can take place,
the suspensionring being capable of partial rotation upon the joint. The lower
end of the ring is suitably formed, for uniting the same, either with a hook, rivet-
hole or hols, or equivalent appliance or provision Figures 1 to 5.
The press Figures 6, 7, 8, made use of in connection with, and forming part of
my said invention, is mounted upon a suitable stand p Figures 6 and 8 (or bed
plate) upon which bearings 6 Fig. 8 are mounted for sustaining the lower end of
a lever Fig. 8. The upper end of this lever carries a barrel a Figures 6, 7, 7º,
8, 8, 8b having a central bar, thumb disc and spring. The bar is generally square
in section as shown in Figures 6ª, 7, 7, 8, 8b, 8° but can also be of different
section as shown in Fig. 8d. The spring draws the bar backwards in the barrel
after it has been thrust forward to insert the fastener. Another spring 8 Fig. 8 of
any description is fitted at the foot of the lever, to raise the same after it has been
pressed downwards; a suitable stop being provided to limit its action.
In using the press, the fastener f with the ring r is inserted in the mouth of the
barrel, which holds it, by friction, with sufficient firmness to prevent its falling out.
The paper or other article is then laid on the stand or bed plate: the barrel at
the upper end of the lever is then pressed downwards, and the ends of the fastener
enter and pass through the paper. These ends are then caused to fold together by
a sunk space in the bed plate d Figures 9 and 10, which operation securely fastens
the same, and completes the fastening of the paper or other article.

page_text: The ring of the fastener may be made of any desired shape and ornamented, and
may be used to suspend the article, or for other convenient purposes.
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:
1. The construction and application of paper-fasteners with partially rotating
suspensionring fixed together by a rivet, hook, loop or any equivalent appliance
substantially as hereinbefore described and shewn in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of
the drawings.
2. The application of presses for paperfasteners with a bar of square, oval or
other section and a barrel in which the paperfasteners are inserted substantially as
herein before described and shewn in Figures 6, 7 and 8 of the drawings.
3. In presses for paperfasteners the arrangement of a sunk space in which the
fasteners are bent, opposite to the bar, as shewn in Figures 9 and 10 of the
accompanying drawings,
