Improvements in Fastenings for Straps.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the Firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co., Patent
Agents, 45 Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to fastenings for connecting two superposed straps which
permit of the adjustment of such straps lengthways relatively to each other and to
hold them securely in any position to which they have been adjusted.
The straps are provided with holes or perforations in the usual manner and a
sleeve is provided through which the said straps pass freely. This sleeve has
either on its top side or on its top side and its bottom side a plate or plates
respectively, pivotted to such sleeve and carrying pins adapted to engage with the
holes in the straps. The sleeve fits loosely into an outer sleeve guided on the
former by pins entering into slots in the side of the inner sleeve.
Normally the outer sleeve is in its forward position in which it securely holds
the pivotted plates in the closed position in which the pins on such plates enter the
holes in the straps. Now if it is desired to shift or adjust one of these straps along
the other, the outer sleeve is drawn back permitting the plates to be opened so that
the pins come out of engagement with the holes in the straps. The straps may
then be adjusted as desired and then the plates and the outer sleeve are returned
into the normal position holding the straps securely in the position to which they
have been adjusted.
It may sometimes be advantageous to arrange on the inner sleeve only one plate
pivotted thereto as already stated, the other plate then forms a rigid projection on
The pin
the said sleeve and carries no pin to enter into the holes in the straps.
on the plate has then to, be made rather longer to enable it to engage with both
straps..
Without departing from the nature of my invention the shape and the dimensions
of the herein described fastening may be varied, I may also use spring catches in
connection with the plates or the sleeve for opening such plates or for locking in
position the said oúter sleeve.

I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the Firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co., Patent
Agents, 45 Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex, 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:-
My invention relates to fastenings for connecting two superposed straps which

hold them securely in any position to which they have been adjusted.
In the accompanying drawing,
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the fastening closed.
Figure 2 is a plan of the same.
Figure 3 is a longitudinal section partly in elevation of the fastening in its open
position and
Figure 4 is a plan thereof.
RR are the straps provided with holes or perforations in the usual manner.
F is a sleeve through which the said straps pass freely. This sleeve is provided
either on its top side or on both the top and bottom sides with a plate for
plates respectively, pivotted to such sleeve and carrying pins. z z¹ adapted to
engage with the holes in the straps R R¹. The sleeve Ffits loosely into an outer
sleeve H guided on the former by pins h entering into slots s s in the side of the
inner sleeve F.
Normally the outer sleeve is in its forward position as shewn in Figures 1 and 2.
in which it securely holds the pivotted plates ff in the closed position in which
the pins on such plates enter the holes in the straps.
Now if it is desired to shift or adjust one of these straps along the other, the
outer sleeve H is drawn back as shown in Figures 3 and 4 permitting the.
plates to be opened so that the pins z 21 come out of engagement with
the holes in the straps. The straps may then be adjusted as desired and then
the plates and the outer sleeve H are returned to the normal position shown in
Figures 1 and 2, holding the straps securely in the position to which they have been
adjusted.
It may sometimes be advantageous to arrange on the inner sleeve F only one
plate pivotted thereto as already stated, the other plate f¹ then forms a rigid
projection, on, the said sleeve and carries no pin to enter into the holes in the straps.
The pin on the plate fis in this case made rather longer to enable it to'
engage
with both straps.
Without departing from the nature of my invention the shape and the dimensions
of the herein described fastening may be varied. I may also use spring catches in
connection with the plates ffi or the sleeve H for opening such plates or for
locking in position the said outer sleeve.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said.
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to
me by my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is:-
A fastening for permitting the lengthwise adjustment of two superposed straps
and to securely hold them in the position to which they have been adjusted,
consisting of an inner sleeve through which these straps pass loosely, such sleeve
being provided with one or two plates pivotted thereto and carrying pins adapted
to enter into the holes. in the straps and of an outer sleeve sliding on the inner
sleeve and normally locking in position the said pivotted plates, substantially as
described and shown.
