To all whom it may concern in gsthatis to say, it should be struck up with Be it known that I, CHARLES W. AOKER, prongs or projections and with a concave or of Watertown, Jefferson county, Stateof New groove on its inner side to receive, in connec- York, have invented a new and useful Imtion with the grooved inner ring, the buttonprovementin the Mode of Securing Buttonhole piece where it overlaps the edges of the 55 Holes of Carriage-Curtains; and I do hereby hole cut in the curtain, and which forms what I declare that the following is afull, clear, and is known as a button-hole patch. This outside exact description thereof, which will enable ring-plate is formed with teeth or prongs upon others skilled in the art to make and use the its outer and inner edges, as shown. Those,

A hole is then cut in the curtain of such size that its edge may overlap the edge of the button-hole piece, and the small holes or punctures a are made in the curtain at -a distance from and around the buttonhole. The teeth or prongs of the plate 0 are passed through the curtain -punctures. The inner plate, D, is then applied to the inner side of the curtain and the teeth or prongs a a closed down upon it, as shown, and the attachment of the eyelet to the curtain is completed.

The ring-plates are struck up in a manner to form biting-edges, and are clamped together with their hollow sides upon the fabric. I

v Passing the teeth athrough the separate punctures in the curtain secures the ringbinder directly to the body of the curtain.

Prior to my improvement the button-holes of carriage-curtains were secured by a binding being provided with teeth or prongs, which were passed through a single circular opening cut in the curtain, and then bent so as to be clamped over the cut-out edge of the circular opening to secure the button-hole piece. This bindiugeyelet is too insecure, heingconstantly liable to be pulled out by the knob, and is otherwise objectionable, and is not now found in the trade.
