page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Emil Diedrich Johannes Neupert of Ottensen Prussia in
the German Empire for an Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN FASTENINGS FOR
GLOVES, BOOTS SHOES AND OTHER ARTICLES OF DRESS
"
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION filed by the said Emil Diedrich Johannes
Neupert at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 28th March
1883.
EMIL DIEDRICH JOHANNES NEUPERT. of Ottensen, Prussia, in the German
Empire. "IMPROVEMENTS IN FASTENINGS FOR GLOVES, BOOTS, SHOES AND OTHER
ARTICLES OF DRESS
,,
This invention relates to improvements in fastenings for gloves, boots, shoes, and
other articles of dress, in which a moveable lever is attached to one part of the dress,
glove etc and is drawn through a hole in the other part, which is to be fastened
to the first one, and the objects of these improvements are to allow the moveable
lever a sliding motion and to facilitate the arresting of the moveable lever.
I attain these objects by the devices illustrated in the accompanying Drawing
in which-Figures 1 and 2, 5 and 6 sbew side elevations partly in section, of the
devices attached to the article to be joined in the two states of their junction
Figures 3 and 7 are cross sections of the devices, Figures 4 and 8 show the top
(plan) view of the fastenings.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views, Figures 1
to 4 illustrate a fastening device, which I describe as follows, whereas Figures 5
to 8 show a slight modification thereof however based on the same principle and
described hereafter.
The moveable lever a is provided with a slit a'. which extends over one half of
the lever's length beginning near to one end, the inner end of the slit is somewhat
enlarged thus forming a recess a³. To the extremity of that half of the lever,
which is not, slotted, the button a². is attached. The lever a is fastened (kept) to
the glove etc by means of a loop or eyelet or ring b. which slides in the aperture a¹.
In order to fasten two parts of a glove or dress etc to one another the button a²,
has to pass the button hole c. of the one part of the glove or dress etc, while the loop b

page_text: fastened to the other part of the glove dress etc is located at the utmost extremity
of the slit a¹. as illustrated in Figure 1. When lifting the button a². the divided
part of the glove dress etc by its hole c will slip over the whole length of the
lever until it surrounds the loop b., and at last the lever a is turned over and
drawn back until the loop b, is caught in the recess a³, as illustrated by Figures 2
and 4.
In the fastening device as illustrated in Figures 5. 6, 7 and 8 the lever a. instead
of being slotted slides in a bush b¹ hinged to a fork shaped bearing b. To limit
the way within which the lever a may slide in the bush 6' the lever is provided
with the knob a³, and the shoulder a³. The mode of employing the device
corresponds with that explained above with reference to the Figures 1. 2. 3. and 4
of the Drawing.
Having thus fully described the invention and the manner of performing the
same, what I desire to claim and secure by Letters Patent is :-
1st In a device for fastening gloves boots shoes and other articles of dress the
combination of the loop b, with the moveable lever a. provided with the button a²,
slit a¹. and recess as. substantially as set forth.
2nd In a device for fastening gloves boots shoes and other articles of dress, the
combination of the fork shaped bearing b, and hinged bush b¹ with the moveable
lever a, substantially as specified.
In witness whereof I the said Emil Diedrich Johannes Neupert have hereunto
set my hand and seal this Seventeenth day of March in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and eighty three.
