Improvement in Self-fastening Scarf and like Pins.
I, ARTHUR POTTS, 29, Sun Street, Finsbury Square, London, E.C., and of 18,
Albert Road, Queen's Road, Dalston, Mail Cart, Cañe Furniture & Basket Manufac-
turer, 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 improvement in self fastening scarf and like pins is like an ordinary pin
with a joint near the point so that when it is passed through scarf or like
material, it will form a T piece so that it cannot be removed without re-
adjusting.
For purposes of illustration, I will now refer to the annexed drawings in
which:-
-
Figure 1 is a view of a tie pin constructed according to my invention.
Figure 2 view of same in securing position.
Figure 3 view to enlarged scale shewing principle of my invention.
Figure 4 view of modified arrangement.
a is what I term the pin attached to the jewel or other ornament b. The point c
of the pin is pivoted at d so that it may be turned into the position shewn in
Figure 2 for fastening purposes. The material of which the pin a is made may
be of a sufficient elastic or springy nature so as to more or less clip the pivoted
point c in the position shown in Figure 1, that is to say, the forks e have a cer-
tain amount of play so that when the stud or pin g is brought into position
between the forks e and in alignment with what I term the pin a, it may enter
a depression or recess and so clip or hold the movable point in position for inser-
tion in a garment, and after the insertion in the garment, the 'movable section
may be turned into approximately the position shewn in Figure 2. Now it will

the pivoted part e caused to assume approximately the position shewn in Figure 2,
that the withdrawal of the pin will be retarded until the pivoted portion c has
been returned to the position shewn in Figure 1, when it may be withdrawn.
It will also be seen that the essential principle in my invention is the turning
of the end or point of the pin or such like into such a position as to offer an
obstruction to its withdrawal, in conjunction with the stud or pin which engages
in a recess or depression in one of the spring forks aforesaid. Of course it will
be understood that although I have described my invention as applied to a tie
pin, it is equally applicable to brooches, coat fastenings and other uses, as the
pivoted end of the pin or fastening may be passed through an aperture already
prepared and by causing the pivoted portion to assume the position shown in
Figure 4, its withdrawal will be prevented. In this case, what I term the pin is
provided at each end with forked portions carrying a pivoted piece aforesaid, this
pivoted piece being turned into the position shown after having been passed
through the prepared apertures in the garment h or if desired, the ends of the
pin may be passed through the garment itself, and then caused to assume the
securing position.
Any convenient arrangement may be employed for clipping the pivoted portion
in the required position. As an example, my invention might be applied to the
securing of a garment around the wearer. The pin might be provided at both
ends with the pivoted portion and these ends may be passed through suitable
apertures on the garment and by causing the pivoted parts to assume the posi-
tion shewn in Figure 2, the garment will be held as required, as the size of the
aperture would be such as shewn relative to the pivoted piece in Figure 4. In
the case of brooches, one end of the pin will be pivoted to the brooch in any con-
venient manner, and the other end carrying the pivoted portion c caused to engage
with the hook as is usual, the pivoted section being free to be turned into the
position shewn in Figure 2.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed. I declare that what
I claim is:
1. In fasteners or connections of the class herein described, the combined con-
struction and arrangement of the various parts, substantially as described and
illustrated herein and for the purpose set forth.
2. In fasteners or connections of the class herein described, in combination, a
pin having a body portion with an elastic forked end, the pivot bridging the
forked ends, whereby said pivoted section or point is carried between the elastic
forks, a stud or pin, a recess or depression in one of the spring forks aforesaid
engaged by said stud for the purpose of maintaining the pivoted point normally
in alignment with the pin aforesaid through the clipping action of the elastic
forked ends of the pin..
