NATHAN BANDELL, on NEW YORK, N. Y.

SNAP ORNAMENT FASTENER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 15, 19211.

Application filed October 20, 1920. Serial No. 418,185.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, NATHAN BANDELL, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of the Bronx, in the county of Bronx and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Snap Ornament Fastener, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in snap ornament fasteners, an object of the' invention being to provide a snap ornament fastener, the stud member of which is formed with an ornamental exterior of jet, glass, or imitation of et or glass, or any other breakable material which is molded or cemented to the stud portion and which gives to the latter the appearance of an ornamental stud or button.

A further object is to provide a snap ornament fastener which is adapted for use as an ornament or as a fastening means for a garment, and which permits the removal of the stud member during the laundrying operation of the garment so that the ornamental exterior of the stud member will not be broken or injured during the laundrying operation.-

With these and other objects in view the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, and combinations and arrangements of parts as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 illustrates one manner of use of my improved snap ornament fastener, the view being in section through overlapping portions of the garment, showing the members of the snap ornament fastener in elevation.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged view in section through the stud member of the snap ornament fastener.

Fig. 3 is a view in elevation of Fig. 2.

My improved snap ornament astener comprises ,a socket member 1 and a stud member 2 which are constructed in the or dinary manner of such devices so that the stud member when forced into the socket member will be elastically held therein.

My invention resides particularly in the dinarily these openings 4 are utilized for sewing the stud member to the garment, but

with my improvement they constitute anchoring recesses into which the ornamental head 5 is projected.

This ornamental head 5 may be of any deslred material. It can be conveniently made of material in imitation of glass or jet, and it is preferably made first in plastic form so that it can be readily forced into the hollow stud 6, into the openings 4 and under the flange 3 and be molded or ornamented on 1ts exterior in any approved manner, as shown at 7. The composition is of such a nature that when it is molded and dried or baked, its exterior will have the appearance of glass or jet, which material, of course, might be broken under pressure or by a blow, and hence, it is my intention to use my improved stud member in such a way as to permit its removal from the garment during the laundrying operation.

Fig. 1 illustrates one member of such use. The socket member 1 is secured to a portion 8 of the garment and the portion 9 which overlaps the same is provided with an opening, buttonhole, or eyelet 10, through which the stud 6 of the stud member 2 is projected and forced into the socket member 1, thereby securing the portions of the garment together. When the garment is sent to the laundry, the stud member 2 is entirely removed so that it cannot be broken or injured during the laundrying operation.

It is, of course, to be understood that-I do not limit myself to the particular material employed to form the ornamental head in connection with the stud member as It may use any material adapted for the purpose which can be molded, cemented, or otherwise secured in the stud member.

Various slight changes might be made in the general form and arrangement of the parts described without departing from the invention, and hence I do not limit myself to'the precise details set forth, but consider myself at liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

I claim:

1. As a new article of manufacture, an ornamental stud member comprising a hollow metal portion forming a hollow stud, a head of ornamental material secured in the stud member, said ornamental head formed of plastic material molded into the hollow stud, said stud member having openings therein into which the plastic material of the head is molded.

2. As a new article of manufacture, an

ornamental stud member comprising a hollow metal portion forming a hollow stud and having an internal annular flange, and

a head of ornamental material secured in the stud member, said ornamental head formed of plastic material molded into the 10 hollow stud and under the annular flange, sald stud member having-openings therein 1nto which the plastic material of the head is molded.

NATHAN BANDELL.
