PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Fittings for Trouser Braces, Belts, and such
like Articles.
I CHARLES NEWBOLD EYLAND of Walsall in the county of Stafford Manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:―
The first part of my invention consists of improvements in that description of buckle
to which my former patent No. 2212 Feb. 12th 1887 has reference namely buckles
made of wire and consists, firstly of forming the upper and lower portions of the frame
of wire one portion being bent round the ends of the other portion so as to form at
hinge the ends being inserted into the barrel of the tongue, or the ends of both pieces
may be inserted without clipping one another. Or the frame being formed as above
described the two parts may clip between them a solid tongue or a piece of wire upon
which is the tongue barrel. Secondly, the frame of the buckle may be made of one
piece of wire with the ends turned up as loops to clip a wire loop or ring or each end
may be brought down and terminate with a loop each to hold a separate ring, which
rings will be very suitable to pass the cords or elastic of the brace ends through or to
receive the leather tab in the usual way. Or the cord or elastic may pass through the
loops without the rings or with a tube to receive it between the loops, or a tube formed
of spiral wire may be used for the same purpose, or the two ends of the wire may be
bent up into horizontal loops and held together by a studed loop. Thirdly the wire
may be bent into such form as to act as a lever buckler the one portion which impinges
upon the web being cut into teeth or bent into projections which are formed into
points. Or the lever portion may be of wire applied to an ordinary metal frame.
The second part of my invention refers to the attaching of the leather tabs to the
buckle and consists of a metal clip through which the eyelets are passed formed so as
to hang upon the loop of the buckle outside the edge of the leather.
The third part of my invention consists of dispensing with the usual rivits to the
wheels over which the cord, for the brace ends, passes and indenting the metal between
which the rollers are, the indented portion forming pegs whereon the wheels revolve
and leaving a smooth outer surface.

• Improvements in the Fittings for Trouser Braces, Belts, and such
like Articles.
I CHARLES NEWBOLD EYLAND of 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, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters
and figures marked thereon.
:
The first part of my invention consists of improvements in that description of buckle
to which my former patent No. 2212 February 12th 1887 has reference, namely
buckles made of wire, and consists, Firstly of forming the upper and lower portions
of the frame of wire with one portion bent round the ends of the other portion so as to
form a hinge, the ends of the other portion being inserted into the barrel of the
tongue. This construction of buckle is illustrated by Fig. 1. The upper and lower
portions of the buckle (a and b) being of two separate pieces of wire, the ends (c, c)
of the portion (a) being bent over to clip the portion (b) the ends of which are turned
Price Sd

page_text: into the barrel (d) of the tongue. Or this may be reversed, the ends of the
portion (a) and the ends of (a) turned into the barrel. Or the ends of both portions
may be inserted into the barrel without clipping one another, the barrel thus holding
the two parts together. Or the frame being formed in two parts as above described
they may each of them clip a loose solid tongue, as illustrated by fig. 2. at (ee) (ƒƒ)
or each clip a piece of wire (9) Fig. 3, upon which is the tongue barrel (d).
The first part of my invention consists further of forming the frame of the buckle
of one piece of wire with the ends turned up as loops to clip a wire loop or ring. This
arrangement is illustrated by Fig. 4 in which the ends (h) are formed as loops
holding between them the ring or loop (i) to receive the brace ends. Or a separate
ring (j) Fig. 5 may be attached to each of the loops ends for the same purpose. Or
a series of rings or links may be attached holding a larger ring between them. Or
the cords or elastic may pass through the loops of the wire frame bent up as shewn in
Fig. 4 without the additional ring or rings. Or with a tube as at (k) Fig. 6. or the
cord may pass through a tube formed of spiral wire placed between the loop ends in a
similar position to the tube (k) Fig. 6, and thus greater elasticity be obtained. Or the
two ends of the wire may be turned up into horizontal loops and be held together by
a studed loop. This construction is illustrated by Fig. 7 in which the two ends (c, c¹)
are formed into loops laid horizontally one above the other and clipping the neck of
the stud () of the loop (i).
In bending the wire ends into the form of loops I do not confine myself to the
precise forms herein described or shewn on the drawings as I can bend them into any
form suitable for the purposes described.
The first part of my invention consists, lastly, of constructing the buckles by
bending the wire into such form as to act as lever buckles. This is illustrated by
Figs. 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12. In Fig. 8, the one portion (a) which hinges upon the
other portion (b) is cut into teeth or notches (m) which will take into the web of the
brace when they are pressed on to it. Fig. 9 shews the notches or teeth (m) on
the lever portion (n) which is bent over the upper portion so as to cause the notches
or teeth to hold the web between the two portions. And Figs. 10 and 11 shew
buckles with the wire bent into points or prongs (0, 0). 1 can also make the buckles
with ordinary metal frames and wire lever portions with either teeth or prongs as
above described. Fig. 12 shews a buckle without teeth or prongs with the ends of
the wire lever portions () turned up to clip itself and thus form the loops (c, c).
The second part of my invention refers to the attaching of the leather tabs to the
buckle and consists of metal clips through which eyelets to hold the leather are passed
formed so as to hang upon the loop of the buckle outside the edge of the leather and
thereby protect the edge as well as add to the strength. These metal clips are shewn
at (p) Fig. 1 sheet 1 and a side view in Fig. 14. The form of the clip is as follows;
a piece of flat metal cut into the form of two discs joined together by a connecting
piece and pierced to receive the eyelet, the connecting piece is bent over the loop of
the buckle with the two dises lying upon one another at the back of the leather tab,
the bent over connecting piece lying against the edge of the leather as shewn. This
description of clip may be made of wire bent into the required form instead of using
the flat metal as described.
The third part of my invention consists of dispensing with the usual rivets to the
wheels over which the cord for the brace ends passes and indenting the metal
between which the wheels or rollers are placed so that the indented portions shall
form pegs or projections upon which the wheel or wheels can revolve.
Fig. 13 is a front view and Fig. 14 a sectional view showing the indented
portions (,) carrying the wheels (ss). By this arrangement a smoother outer
surface is obtained for the face of the buckle than with the use of eyelets or rivets.
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. Improvements in that description of buckle to which my natent No. 2212 of 1887

page_text: has reference namely buckles made of wire without, soldering, by forming such
Improved buckles of two or more parts hinged, or joined, together substantially as
described herein and as illustrated in Figs. 1. 2 and 3.
2. Improvements in buckles made of wire by forming their frames with tho wire
ends bent up into loop forms with or without other loops or rings attached thereto
substantially as described herein and illustrated by Figures 4, 5, 6, 7 and 12.
3. Forming lever buckles wholly or partly of bent wire substantially as described
herein and illustrated by Figures 8, 9, 10 and 11.
4. Using metal clips in the positions and for the purposes described and illustrated.
5. Forming supports for the wheels or rollers over which the cord ends pass by
indenting, or turning in the metal casing as described and illustrated.
Dated this 15th day of February 1890.
