PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Attachments for Brace Ends, Bands, Straps, Belt
Fasteners, and the like.
I CHARLES NEWBOLD EYLAND of Rushall Street Walsall in the County of
Stafford Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of this invention is to extend the scope and purposes of that portion
of my former invention protected under Letters Patent and described in Specifi-
cation No. 10964 bearing date 27th day of June 1891 which has reference to the
use of pegs or projectious upon which brace ends the ends of belts, and such
like articles are to be hung or attached and in which Specification I claim
forming pegs or projections upon the frames of buckles for braces, belts, and
such like articles or upon that portion of them upon which the brace ends, button
holes, or fastening pieces of such like articles is to be attached."

And consists in the use of an independent piece of metal or other material
acting as a clip, hung upon the brace, belt, or strap buckle, or otherwise attached
thereto, and having upon it one or more of any of the pegs projections or tongues
or their equivalents such as are described in the said Specification No. 10964-
1891 which may be found suitable for these my present purposes.
Or these clips may be used without buckles, to attach belt clasps or fasteners to
the belt ends or to attach handles to bags or other articles or the ends of bands or
straps together.
I do not confine myself to any particular form of clip upon which to have the
pegs projections or tongues nor to any particular node of lacing the brace, strap,
band, or belt ends thereon.
But a simple form of clip which I may use consists of a small frame of metal
or other material having a centre bar, upon which is the peg, and an upper portion
bent over as a hook or clip and a lower bar to form a loop between it and the
centre bar.
The clip being then hung upon the buckle or other article, the leather (or
other) end is placed over the peg, passed over the top of the clipping portion
and threaded through the loop. To facilitate the threading the lower bar may
be divided or split so as to pass the leather end edgewise through into the loop.
When it is desired to attach leather ends (without the use of clips) direct onto
buckles having peg attachments and small loops, the bottom bar forming the loop
may be divided or split in a similar manner.
When using the clip to attach two strap ends together the hook may be
dispensed with and the frame made double with two or more pegs, and with loops
at each end through which to thread the ends.
The bars of the clip may be toothed notched or serrated to further secure the
fastening.

Improvements in Attachments for Brace Ends, Bands, Straps, Belt
Fasteners, and the like.
1, CHARLES NEWBOLD EYLAND of Rushall Street Walsall in the County of
Stafford, Manufacturer, 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 extend the scope and purposes of that portion
of my former invention protected under Letters Patent and described in Specifi-
cation No. 10964 bearing date 27th day of June 1891 which has reference to the
use of pegs or projections upon which brace ends, the ends of belts, and such like
articles are to be hung or attached and in which Specification I claim, “forming
pegs or projections upon the frames of buckles for braces belts and such like
articles or upon that portion of them upon which the brace ends, button holes or
fastening pieces of such like articles is to be attached."
And this invention consists in the use of an independent piece of metal or other
material acting as a clip hung upon the brace, belt or strap buckle or otherwise
attached thereto and having upon it one or more of any of the pegs, projections or
tongues or their equivalents such as are described in the said Specification
No. 10964 of 1891, which may be found suitable for these my present purposes.
Or these clips may be used without buckles to attach brace ends, belt clasps, or
fasteners to the belt ends, or to attach handles to bags or other articles or the ends
of bands or straps together. I do not confine myself to any particular form of clip
upon which to have the pegs, projections or tongues nor to any particular mode of
lacing the brace, strap, band or belt ends thereon.
But I will illustrate by the accompanying drawings in which similar letters of
reference relate to similar parts some simple forms of clips which I may use.
Fig. 1 represents a brace end with clips attached similar in form to that shewn
in front and side views Figs. 2 and 3 which consists of a small frame of metal or
other material having a centre bar (a) upon which is the peg (b) and having an
upper portion bent over so as to form a hook or clip (c) and having a lower bar (d)
to form a loop between it and the centre bar (a). The clip (c) being then hung
upon the buckle () or other article, the leather (or other) end (e) is placed over
the peg (6), passed over the top of the clipping portion (c) and threaded through
the loop between the bars (a) and (d) as shewn in Fig. 4. To facilitate the
threading the lower bar (d) may be divided or split as shewn at (d) Fig. 1 so as to
pass the leather end edgewise through into the loop.
Fig. 5 shews a clip without a hook upon which the leather may be threaded in a
similar manner to Fig. 1 the leather alone passing round the lower bar of buckle or
other article.
When it is desired to attach leather ends (without the use of clips) direct onto
buckles having peg attachments and small loops, the bottom bar forming the loop
may be divided or split in a similar manner to that shewn at (d') Fig. 1.
Fig. 6 represents a brace end with a clip attached of a slightly different form
to that shewn by Fig. 1. This clip is illustrated in front and side views by
Figs. 7 and 8 and consists of a small frame of metal or other material having a
centre bar (a) upon which is a peg (b) and having an upper portion formed as a
hook or clip and a lower bar (d) with two projections or wings (d'). The hook (c)
being hung upon the buckle (f) or other article, the leather (or other) end (e) is
passed over the top of the clipping portion (c) then placed over the peg (b) and
brought down in front of the bar (d) where it is held by the projections or
wings (2) being folded over as shewn in Fig. 9.
Figs. 10 and 11 show another form in which the clip may be made with two
pegs (b) and wings (ď³).

page_text: Figs. 12 and 13 show a modification of Fig. 6. The clip being made without
the bar (d) and the wings placed on the peg bar (a').
Figs. 14 and 15 shew another modification in which the hook (c) is passed
through the leather and thus forms the peg as well as the hook. The wings (d2)
being then folded over secure the parts together. This form may be made of wire
as shewn at Fig. 16. The wire may be made either round or half round in
section.
When using the clip to attach handles, strap ends, and the like the hook may be
dispensed with and the frame made double with two or more pegs (b) and (')
Fig. 17 with loops (1) and (l') at each end through which to thread the ends.
Fig. 18 shows one of these clips with the strap end (m) passing under the
pegs (1) hooked over the peg (b) and passed through the loop (1), and the end (n)
passed through the loop (1) hooked over the peg (6) and threaded through the
loop (1).
Any of the bars of the clips may if desired be toothed, notched or serrated to
further secure the fastening.
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. Applying to buckles for braces, belts, and the like, clips having upon them
pegs or projections for the purpose of attaching the brace or other ends thereto
substantially as set forth.
2. The use of clips having upon them pegs or projections substantially as
described by means of which clips brace ends, belt clasps, fastenings for belt
ends, handles to bags, or other articles, or the ends of bands or straps may be
attached.
3. Forming in the bottom bar or loop of such buckles as have pegs or
projections upon them for securing the leather ends a slit or opening to facilitate
the threading of the leather.
