PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Construction of Fastener for Gloves and other Articles.
I, EDWARD FISHER, of 32 Noble Street, City of London, Glove Manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is the construction of a fastener for gloves, and
other articles of few pieces, and in such a manner that the fastening shall be
reliable and easy of manipulation by hand.
According to this invention, I make the base or one portion of the fastener with
a sphere, or ball like head and of recessed formation and with a turned in edge
around its bottom portion, and clip or fasten such base to the garment by an
ordinary eyelet which is passed through the fabric, and on pressure being applied,
its narrow end is splayed out into the turned in portion of the base to firmly fasten
the base to the fabric or material.
The other part of the fastener consists of a head with a turned in edge, and a
kind of eyelet having slits to form springy portions, the two being fastened to the
glove or other article by an ordinary eyelet which is passed through the fabric in
the ordinary manner, and on pressure being applied, the narrowed edge (which
is passed between the slitted ferrule and the head) becomes splayed out in the
turned up portion of the edge, thus securely fastening the head to the fabric or
material.
The attachment of the two parts of the fastener is effected by pressure of the
bulb or sphere of the base portion into between the slitted springy ferrule or
eyelet, the springy jaws engaging and gripping the ball or sphere head as to hold
the two parts firmly together.

I, EDWARD FISHER, of 32 Noble Street, City of London, Glove 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 the construction of a fastener for gloves and
other articles of few pieces and in such a manner that the fastening shall be
reliable and easy of manipulation by hand.
The invention is represented on the annexed sheet of drawings.
According to this invention, I make the base or one portion of the fastener, as
seen in sectional elevation, Figure 1, with an unnotched or unsplit sphere or ball
like head A and of recessed or neck formation B, and with turned in edge C
around its bottom portion, and clip or fasten such base to the garment by an
ordinary eyelet D which is passed through the fabric E, and on pressure being

page_text: applied its narrow end F becomes splayed out into the turned in portion C of the
base to firmly fasten the base to the fabric or material E.
The other part of the fastener shown in sectional elevation Figure 2 consists of
a head G with a turned in edge H and a kind of ferrule eyelet J having slits K, K,
in the inner turned back part, as at Figure 3, to form springy portions, the two i.e.
head G and eyelet J, being fastened to the glove or other article by an ordinary
eyelet L (seen separately at Figure 4) which is passed through the fabric M in the
ordinary manner, and on pressure being applied the narrowed edge N (which is
passed between the splayed out rim P, slitted ferrule J, and the turned in
portion H under the head 'G), securely fastens the head G to the fabric or
material M.
Figure 5 represents a slight modification of the head portion of the fastener. In
this case I employ a washer Q occupying a position between the head G and the
Darrow end N of the eyelet L.
R is another washer like packing to prevent the head G being pressed in or
flattened.
The attachment of the two parts of the fastener as at Figure 6 is effected by
pressure of the bulb or sphere A of the base portion into between the slits K, K,
of the springy ferrule or eyelet J, the springy jaws engaging and gripping in the
neck 13 of the ball or sphere head A as to hold the two parts firmly together.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A slitted ferrule J for opening out to pass over a head A and contracting to
engage in the neck B of a glove fastener, the fastening element being in connecti.. n
with head G in contradistinction with that of the head A..
2. As a fastener for gloves and other articles, the manufacture and employinent
from two pieces only viz. the head A and eyelet D as one portion, the other
part of the fastener being composed of three pieces only, viz.: head G, slitted
eyelet J, and ordinary eyelet L, all arranged and acting in and for the purpose set
forth.
