This invention relates to a new button such that it can be attached to a garment
or the like without sewing.
In order that this invention may be. properly understood, I will proceed to
describe by way of example, a brace-button fastened to a pair of trousers, but it will
be obvious that the invention can be applied in all cases where ordinary buttons
are employed.

As shown in the drawings, the improved, button comprises two metal pieces A
and B, which are fixed to each other by passing the rectangular part a of the
piece A through the also rectangular, but slightly larger opening b of the piece B
and then turning the latter through a quarter of a revolution so that the ends of
the part a rest on the piece B.
In using the button there is first made in the article E an opening large enough
to allow the part a to pass and the piece A is then introduced in such a manner
that its front end projects beyond the right side of the material. Then on
the wrong side of the material, between the front end of the part A and the
appendage a, there is introduced a small rubber washer C, which has for object to
ensure a tight fastening. Then the part B is placed in the position indicated
in Fig. 5, and is then turned through a quarter of a revolution so as to bring it into
the position shown in Fig. 8. The button is now fastened, as shown in Figs. 6
and 7.
The operation of buttoning on the braces or a garment is effected in the same
manner as with ordinary buttons.
Instead of being entirely of metal, the part A may have its front face made of
bone, horn, "corozo," or other suitable material in cases where the button is
fastened to a garment where it can be seen.

I, FÉLIX MARIE PREDSEIL Junior, of Dieppe, France, Mechanical Engineer,
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 :-
This invention relates to a new button such that it can be attached to a garment
or the like without sewing:
In order that the invention may be properly understood, I will proceed to describe,
by way of example, a brace-button fastened to a pair of trousers, but it will be
obvious that the invention can be applied in all cases where ordinary buttons are
employed.
Fig. 1 of the drawings filed with my Provisional Specification is a side elevation,
Fig. 2 a front elevation, and
Fig. 3 a rear elevation, of one piece of the button;
Fig. 4 is a front elevation of the other piece of the button;
Fig. 5 is a rear view of the article E to which the button is applied, showing the
pieces of the button about to be fixed in position;
Fig. 6 is a sectional view of the button fastened to the article E;
Fig. 7 is a similar view showing in addition, the brace-strap D in engagement
with the button; and
Figs. 8 and 9 are rear and front views respectively showing two such buttons
completely fastened.
As shown in the drawings, the improved button comprises two metal pieces A
and B, which are fixed to each other by passing the rectangular part a of the
piece A through the also rectangular, but slightly larger, opening 6 of the piece B
and then turning the latter through a quarter of a revolution so that the ends or
corners of the part a rest on the piece B.
In using the button there is first made in the article E an opening large enough
to allow the part a to pass through and the piece A is then introduced in such a
manner that its front end projects beyond the right side of the material. Then on
the wrong side of the material, between the front end of the piece A and the part a,
there is introduced a small rubber washer C, which has for object to ensure a tight
fastening. Then the piece B is placed in the position indicated in Fig. 5, and
turned through a quarter of a revolution so as to bring it into the position shown
in Fig. 8. The button is now fastened as shown in Figs. 6 and 7.
The operation of buttoning on the braces or a garment is effected in the same
manner as with ordinary buttons.
Instead of being entirely of metal, the piece A may have its front face made of
bone, horn, "corozo," or other suitable material in cases where the button is
fastened to a garment so as to be seen.
.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:
Buttons constructed and arranged substantially as herein before described with
reference to and shown in the drawings referred to.
Dated this 27th day of April 1897.
