CHARLES H. UPTON, OF LA GRANDE, OREGON.
PIN -GUABD.
Application filed September 18, 1912.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, CHARLES H. UrroN, a citizen of the United States, and resident of La Grande, Union county, State of Oregon, have invented certain new and useful Iniproveinents in PinGuards, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to certain improvements in pin guards adapted for use in protecting the points of hat pins, scarf pins and the like, to hold the pin in position and thus prevent it from being lost, and also to prevent accidental injury by the point of the pin.
The object of my invention is to simplify the construction and reduce the cost of manufacture of pin guards of this character, without reducing the effectiveness.
In my improved pin guard, I so mount a fiat spring that the pin, in being inserted into the guard, passes between adjacent coils of the spring so as to spread them apart. This distortion of the spring causes the latter to effectively grip the pin and hold the guard in place.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, and in which the same reference characters indicate corresponding parts in all of the views.
Figure 1 is an end view of a pin guard embodying my invention, and Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same with a portion of the casing broken away.
Referring to the drawings it will be seen that my improved pin guard consists of a casing 1, one end of which is closed and the other end open. Adjacent its open end the casing 1 is provided with a groove or bead 5 which forms a seat or retaining means for the outer coil of a flat spiral spring 4, the inner end of which is bent at right angles to the plane of the spring and extends through the center of the casing to the opposite or closed end thereof and thus forms a shaft 2 which supports the central portion of the spring.
At a point intermediate its ends the casing is provided with a second groove or bead 6 which forms a seat of the outer coil of a fiat Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented (Pet. 14, 1913.
Serial No. 721,021.
spiral spring 7, the inner end S of which is secured to the shaft 2 at the flattened portion 3 thereof, in any suitable manner, whereby the central portion of the spring 7 will be supported by the shaft.
In using the guard, it is forced over the point of the pin and held in place thereon by the tension of the coils which grip the pin.
The spring 7 is preferably made of smaller wire than the spring 4 and the coils are closer together so that the springs exert different gripping actions on the pin. The guard is intended for use primarily on hat pins and frequently the point of the pin projects only a short distance through the hat. Under these circumstances the closer spacing of the coils of the spring 7 enables the latter to grip the tapering portion of the pin.
Having thus described my invention what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,
1. A pin guard comprising a tubular body having one end closed and the other end open and a plurality of spaced grooves or beads in the wall thereof, fiat spiral springs having their outer coils arranged in and supported by said grooves, and a shaft or rod secured to the central portions of said springs and engaging the closed end of the tubular body.
2. A pin guard comprising a tubular body having one end closed and the other end open, a flat spiral spring arranged in said body at the open end thereof and having its inner end turned at right angles to the plane of the spring and extending longitudinally of the body and engaging the closed end thereof, and a second spiral spring within said body spaced from the first spring and having its inner end secured to said longitudinally extending portion of the first spring.
In testimony whereof I afliX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
