CLASP FOR SANITARY NAPKINS Filed Oct. 6, 1954 Patented Sept. 10, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CLASP FOR SANITARY NAPKINS Application October 6, 1934, Serial No. 747,229
4 Claims.
The invention relates to article securing clasps of the Wedge slot type and provides certain improvements making such clasps particularly desirable for securing the tabs of sanitary napkins.
Feminine apparel of form-fitting characteristics inhibits the use of fastenings which make for conspicuous bulk such as overplies or mussed tabs of sanitary napkins, which is extremely embarrassing aside from the fact that it tends to destroy or, at any rate, impair conditions making for the ultimate thing desired,-a svelte-like figure.
The conventional clasp of the wedge slot type is conducive to such conspicuous gathering or undesirable bulk and yet it possesses certain features, such as the rapidity and facility with which it may be applied, that suggests its use for the purpose in hand provided its bad features can be eliminated. In the accomplishment of this meritorious purpose the invention contemplates the so fashioning of the clasp body that a terminal spring bar is provided below and at right angles to the wedge slot which results in a side entering horizontally directed take-up notch which receives and holds the goods snugly and efficiently and without bulk in tandem relation with the wedge slot.
The nature, characteristic features and scope of the invention more readily will be understood from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, forming a part hereof, wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the application of the device and securing one of the tabs of the sanitary napkin.
Fig. 2 is a front plan view of the clasp.
Fig. 3 is a rear plan view of the clasp.
Fig. 4 is an edge view of the clasp, and
Fig. 5 is a varied form in which a slot is provided for the reception of a connecting tab in co-planar with the body and laterally directed so that in conjunction with the clasp body it forms an open slot or notch which is horizontally disposed or, at any rate, at right angles to the wedge slot. In use the goods or article to be se- 5 cured, say the tab of a sanitary napkin is passed through the main or wedge slot of the clasp body whereupon its protruding portion is snugly taken up in an orderly way and inserted in the notch H or L-portion of the clasp body. The effect of this is not only to prevent casual displacement of the tab from the wedge slot but also to maintain the relatively free end of the tab in endwise or tandem relation with the wedge slot. The top wall of the take-up notch II has a rounded lug or offset I2 which cooperates with the toe of the bar It! in guiding the goods to the notch. The toe preferably has an upwardly directed hooked portion I3 which is effective to secure the goods against casual displacement.
Having described the invention, I claim:
1. A clasp, comprising a clasp body having a wedge slot arranged in the direction of the length of the body and a second slot open at one side arranged below and transversely of the length of the wedge slot and effective as a take-up or tension member for goods passed through the Wedge slot.
2. Means for securing the tabs of sanitary napkins, comprising a clasp having a wedge slot and another slot arranged below and transversely of the wedge slot open at one side of the clasp body to accommodate the free end of the tab in tandem relation with the wedge slot, said second slot having a terminal hook to inhibit casual displacement of the goods, and coupling means for the clasp.
3. A clasp as claimed in claim 1 in which the base of the clasp body has a bar bent into U-form and constituting the open-sided slot.
4. A clasp as claimed in claim 1 in which the clasp body has a bar bent into U-form and constituting the open-sided slot, the free end of the bar on that side defining the mouth of the slot having a hook to prevent accidental displacement of the goods.
