Description

Patented Aug. 19, 1924.
stares mam ries GASTON A. GUYOT AND ARTHUR 1*. GUYOT, OF ATTLEBORO, MASSACHUSETTS.
LINGERIE CLASP.
Application filed October 25. 1921. Serial No. 510,394.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, Gas'ron A. GUYoT and ARTHUR F. GUYOT, citizens of the United States, residing at Attleboro, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and. useful Improvements in Lingerie Clasps, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in clasps of the class more particularly adapted for womens use upon lingerie, and this invention has for its object to provide such a clasp having a pair of oppositelydisposed arms folded upon themselves, one of said arms being provided with an extending portion over which the opposite arm is adapted to close and be releasably secured.
'VVith these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, as will be more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a clasp of our improved construction showing the tongue as being positioned intermediate the two opposite outer arms.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of our improved construction showing the claspwith its arms in open position.
Figure 3 is a section on line 3-3 of Figure 2, showing the reduced width of the intermediate gripping tongue.
It is found in practice in the construction and operation of lingerie clasps of this gen eral character that often times the fabric on which the clasp is used, is so sheer and delicate that the clasp fails to engage the fabric with sufficient grip to retain it in position without slipping about. To overcome these difficulties we have provided a clasp having a yieldable, fabric-engaging tongue, and the following is a detailed description of one means by which the same may be con structed.
This clasp is preferably formed of a nare row strip of sheet metal folded upon itself at 10 forming two cooperating, oppositelydisposed fabric-embracing arms 11 and 12.
In our improved clasp we have formed an extending portion 13 on the arm 12 and have folded this extending portion at 14 so that it will lie longitudinally betweenthe arms and adjacent the arm 11 when in closed position. This tongue member is preferably reduced in width as shown in Figure 2 being narrower than either of the arms 11 and 12 and at a point beyond the return bend it the stock ofthe tongue is struck inwardly as at 15 for the purpose of stifiening the metal of the tongue. Also thefree end 16 of this tongue is bent downwardly to lie normally close to the arm 12 so that when a gripping pressure is brought to bear between the tongue and the arm 11 the free end of the tongue will engage the arm 12 and support it against excessive yielding when under pressure.
By forming this tongue narrower than the arms of the clasp it serves to more readily grip and bind delicate fabrics when the arm is closed thereover and that without injuring the fabric.
By our improved construction the complete clasp is formed of a single length of metal requiring but three operations to complete it and by its use fabrics of the most 1 delicate textures, which are gripped therein,
will be firmly retained and the clasp will be held against .slipping or moving about thereon.
The foregoing description is directed solely towards the construction illustrated, but I desire it to be understood that we reserve the privilege of resorting to all the mechanical changes to which the device is susceptible, the invention being defined and limited only by the terms of the appended claims.
We claim: a
1. A clasp formed of a single strip of re silient metal folded to form two spaced apart side arms and an intermediate cooperating gripping arm, the free end of one side arm being adapted to snap over the folded end of the other side arm and to lie substantially parallel with said intermediate arm and closely adjacent thereto when in clamping position, said intermedlate arm being normally spaced from said other arm.
2. A clasp formed of a single strip of resilient metal folded to form two spaced apart side arms and an intermediate cooperating gripping arm, the free end of one side arm being adapted to snap over the folded end of the other side arm and to lie substantially parallel With said intermediate arm and closely adjacent thereto When in clamping position, and the free end of said intermediate arm being bent to extend across the space to lie normally spaced from but adjacent the distant side arm to be supported thereagainst 10 when gripping heavy material.
In testimony whereof We aifix our signatures.
. GASTON A. GUYOT. ARTHUR F. GUYOT.
