CLASP-STUD.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 22, 1921.

Application filed October 4, 1920. Serial No. 414,470.

To all whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that I, ALBERT OrrENHnIM, a citizen of the United States, residing at 600 1V. 118th St, New York, county of New York, State of New York, have invented an improvement in Clasp-Studs, oi whlch the following is a specification.

This invention relates to clasp studssuch as are used in garment supporters, and the like, and has for its object to provide a stud consisting of head, shank and base, whlch shall be formed mechanically from a blank of wire.

With this end in view I have devised the novel wire stud which I will now describe referring to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specificat on, and using reference characters to indicate the several parts.

Figure 1 is a view in elevation illustrating the use of my novel; stud in a garter;

2, a section on a greater enlarged scale. on the line 2-2 in Fig. 1

Fig. 8, a perspective view of the rubber collet, whichincloses the head and shank; and

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the stud detached. I

10 denotes the band of a ,e arter which may be of any ordinary material or design, and 13 the ordinary metallic, clasping loop, which in use, engages the stud as clearly shown. The claspin loop is attached to the in any ordinary or preferred manner tried by a longer loop 14 of tile web which 1s also attached to the band.

'ET'he stud, which is denoted as a whole by comprises a head 26, a shank 215.. and a lmse 20. The head, which lies approximately aarallel to the plane of the base, is formed from themid-length of the wire blank, said blank being curved to form an approximately circular head of the required size.

.lust under the head the halves of the blank J means of a loop 12 of textile web, and

The other ends of said slots are formed by curving and recurving the halves of the blank again, the ends of the blank being then turned upward and lying in contact with eachother and in contact withthe other two strands of wire in the shank, the ends terminatlng under the head. It will thus be seen that the shank is comprised of four strands of wire, lying in contact, said strands being indicated by 22, 23, 24 and 25.

The stud is completed by placing thereon a yielding collet which is molded from rubber. The upper end of the collet is enlarged,

as at 28,'and is provided with a recess 29 which receives the head of the stud, the re cess being preferably large enough to receive the head so that the latter will lie wholly below the upper end of the collet.

The stud is attached to web loop 14 by passmg one end of the loop downward through slot 16 then across and upward through slot 17 then around backward and under the stud, the ends of the loop being stitched or otherwise secured to the garter band.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

1. A clasp stud formed from a wire blank and comprising an approximately circular head formed from the mid-length of the blank, the halves of the blank being then bent inward and downward to form half of a shank, the halves being then bent away from each other and curved and recurved twice to form web slots, and then upward to complete the shank.

2. A. clasp stud formed froma wire blank and comprising a head formed from the mid-length of the blank, the halves of the blank being then bent downward to form half of a shank. the halves being then curved and recurved to form web slots, and then bent upward to completethe shank.

3. A clasp stud formed from a wire blank and comprising a head formed from the inid-length of the blank, the halves of the blank being then bent downward to form half of the shank, the halves being then curved and recurvcd to form web slots, and then bent upward, and terminating under the head.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

ALBERT OPPENHEIM.
