Improvements in Fastenings for Garters, Belts, Umbrella Bands, and
the like.
We, DANIEL ISAAC EMERY, 147, Powerscroft Road, Clapton, N.E., Salesman, and
PERCY HADDON DAVY, 20, Old Change, E.C., Mantle Maker, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists in improvements in fasteners which may be employed
for connecting the ends of bands together such as umbrella bands, or for other
analogous purposes such as garters, belts, etc. The fastener consists of two parts
formed of metal or other suitable material such as metal plate; one part is pro-
vided with turned up sides into which the other part slides, this other part being
provided with shoulders or projections which engage upon the ends of the turned
up sides and so prevent the one part slipping through the other. The two parts
are secured to the articles to be connected one to each respectively, by means of
sewing or threads passing through apertures in the parts, or other well known
& convenient means.

PERCY HADDON DAVY, 20, Old Change, E.C., Mantle Maker, 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:

page_text: We will now refer to the annexed drawings for purposes of illustration.
Figure 1 is a plan view shewing our invention applied for purposes of illustra-
tion to an umbrella band.
Figure 2 side elevation of same.
Figure 3 plan view shewing the two parts forming the fastener in engagement.
a is a plate of metal which has the projections or lugs b which are bent as shewn
in Figure 2 This plate is secured to the band c by means of sewing or other
suitable means. The fastening piece d is provided with the shoulders or pro-
jecting parts e and the sides fare of such a size as to pass or slide between pro-
jections or lugs b in the plate a and the shoulders or projecting parts e will engage
upon the lugs or projections b as shewn in Figure 3 when the device is in its lock-
ing position. The tab g is for the purpose of facilitating the operation, such as
in the case of an umbrella- band, of locking the parts together. The fastening
part is secured to the band c by means of sewing or other suitable means.
Although for purposes of illustration we have shewn a particular shape or form
of locking pieces it will be readily understood that we may vary this shape accord-
ing to the circumstances under which the locking pieces are used, without depart-
ing from the principle of our invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is :-
1. In fastenings for garters, belts, umbrella bands and the like: a plate having
lugs or projections so bent as to allow the engagement of the fastening pieces pro-
vided with shoulders or projections for the purpose of maintaining the two locking
parts in their locked position, said parts being secured to a band of suitable material
by means of sewing or other col parent means.
Dated this 27th day of June 1898.
