JOSEPH L. PARKER, OP PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

CUFFf-ATTACHER.

ToaZZ whom it mayrconcern: Y Be it known that I, JOSEPH L. PARKER, a citizen ofthe UnitedStates, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in, Cuff-Attachers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to garment attachers and preferably to that sort of deviceA wherein a pin is combinedvwith a button, the object of the invention being primarily to provide means whereby a cuff maybe easily attached to the sleeve of a coat or like garment; and

secondly provide means -for attaching one article of apparel which has to be pinned to another article which has to be buttoned.

My invention consists broadly inpastud or button member having formed therewith at one end a pin preferably in the form of a safety pin. K

In the drawings, Figure l, is a front view of my device on a large scale. Fig. 2,'is a front view ofthe stud or buttonbefore its attachment to the pin. Fig. 3,is a vertical p section ofthe button andpin.

Like referenceV characters throughout the several views designate like parts.k

2 designates a button or studof any suit,- able character preferably made' of ahollow shell, the circumference Offwhich is turned over upon a vdisk 3, to whichthe shanke is preferably hinged in any suitable manner,

though it might Vbeattached rigidly to said disk or otherwise connected to the button. The shank l is preferably made of a hollow blank approximately tubular, crushed or fiat` tened out, particularly at its lower end to form a relativelywide shoulder 4. Y

One side of the blank below the'shoulder portion is provided with an upwardly extending ear 5. In order to attach the button to the pin, this ear is bent around the fixed shank or wire 6 of the shield pin 6, and down against the other face ofthe button'shank,

to which-it may be soldered or otherwise attached. v y

The wire 6 of the pin it will be seen rests against the upper endY of theY shoulder 4/ and the ear is bent over tightly'upon the Wire,

to the over-turned portion or ear V5. The

pin may however, be left freeV to rotate within p Specification of Letters Patent.

of the ear 5 thus forming shoulders on either side. of the ear which prevents the pin from slipping longitudinally through the eye, while permitting if desired a certainrotative `movement of the pin. f Even when` the pin is soldered or otherwise rigidly attached to the wire 6, the shoulders on either side lessen the chance ofthe pin becoming detached or loosened from its engagement.

o In use the stud or button'rnay be inserted in a buttonhole and the pin used like any other of its kind. Y Thus the pin may be used to pin together the neck band of a waist and the button be used for attaching the collar thereto, or the pin may be inserted in the liningon the inside of a coat sleeve and the shirt cuffs attached tothe button in the ordinary manner, thus providing a very convenient way whereby the cufs may be always held in certain relation with the sleeve of a coat and yet unattached to the sleeve of the shirt. rIhere are many other ways in which this combined button and pin can be conveniently used, but I have referred to these two simply for illustrative purposes.

It will be seen that Ihave provided a button of great simplicity and yet ada ted to a large Vvariety of circumstances. t will be obvious that I do not wish to be limited to the peculiar form of button shown, as the button proper could be formed more like a stud if for use with shirt collars, or otherwise two subscribing, witnesses. so as to hold the pin solidly connected with JOSEPH L. PARKER.
