improvements in and relating to Draces.
I GEORGE BUCKLEY, trading as Walsh and Brierley of 58 and 59 Aldermanbury
in the County of London and Buck Hill Mills Halifax in the County of York, Brace
and Belt Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of this invention is to connect the brace ends to the braces in such a
way that the strain on such ends shall be borne by the rivets that connect such ends
to the buckles, instead of by the material of which such ends are made, as is the case
with braces as at present manufactured.
According to one way of carrying out this invention, I form a slot in the lower
portion of the buckles and over this slot I turn the brace ends passing the rivets
through the said turned over portion and also through the aforesaid slot.
This invention will apply to the back ends as well as the front ones.

1 GEORGE BUCKLEY, trading as Walsh and Brierley of 58 and 59 Aldermanbury
in the County of London and Buck Hill Mills Halifax in the County of York, Brace
and Belt Manufacturers, 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 :-
The object of this invention is to connect the brace ends to the braces in such a way
that the strain on such ends shall be borne by the rivets that connect such ends to the
buckles, instead of by the material of which such ends are made, as is the case with
braces as at present manufactured.
According to one way of carrying out this invention, I form a slot in the lower
portion of the buckles and over this slot I turn the brace ends passing the rivets
through the said turned over portion and also through the aforesaid slot.
This invention will apply to the back ends as well as to the front ones.
And in order that my said invention may be better understood I will now proceed
to describe the same with reference to the drawings accompanying this specification
in which
Fig. 1 shews a front elevation of brace ends and method of attaching same according
to my invention.
Fig. 2 end elevation of a portion of same and Fig. 3 shews a like view of a
modification.

page_text: a shews the buckle which is buckled on to the braces in the ordinary way. b shews
the ends made of leather or other suitable material. c shews slot in lower portion of
the buckle, over which the upper portions of the ends bare turned, such portions being
rivetted over by the rivets d d. ee are pins passing through one thickness of the
ends as shewn at Fig. 2, which I prefer, but I may have such pins passing
through both thicknesses and rivetted over as shown at Fig. 3.
It will easily be understood, on reference to the drawings that the strain will be
taken by the pins or rivets e e and not by the material of which the ends are made.
I would remark in .conclusion that I do not wish to confine myself to the precise
details herein set forth.
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. In improvements in and relating to braces, fixing the ends to the buckles or the
like by rivets or pins passing through a slot or the like in the buckle for the purpose
set forth.
2. The improvements in and relating to braces substantially as and for the purpose
set forth.
