CUFF-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 251,502, dated. December 27, 1881.

Application filed October 3, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, FORE BAIN, a citizen of the United States, and a residentof Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State ot' Ohio,

have invented certain new and use'nlIni provements in Cuff-Holders, ot' which the following is a specification.

"M y invention relates to a spring cuff-holder adapted to be attached upon the sleeve of the 1o coat in suoli a manner as to hold the cuff in its usual position, but attached to the coat-sleeve by the cuff-holder in such manner as to allow the cuff to be taken oft' or put on the coat, if desired, and at same time to allow the cuff to be taken off or put on separate and apart from the coat.

To these ends my invention consists, essentially, in a spring-clamp composed of a plate and a spring-bar formed of one piece of metal,

zo which is bent to l'oini a spring-loop, the said plate being provided with a pin and guard, by which the device is attached in position.

Figure 1 is a perspective view ot' a spring,` cuil-holder embodying my invention. Fig. 2

is a. central sectional elevation ofthe end of a coat-sleeve,showing my improved cuff-holder in position. Fig. 3 is an enlarged cross-section on line x 1.',Fig. 1, showing the holder applied 0n a broken section of the cuit'.

A represents the sleeve otl a cont; B, the lining` of the same.

C represents a entf.

D represents my improved cuff-fastening device.

d is the spring-arm, and E the main plate.' These two parts are preferably formed of one piece of metal bent to form a spring-loop clasping the cuff.

Cr G represent the barbs, which are preferably forined in the manner shown, so as to project each side of the spring-arm d, between which it rests, preventing lateral motion of the spring-arm, as well as serving as barbs to onter or indent the culi', preventing it from lateral movement between the spring and bar. It is obvious that these barbs could be attached to the spring-arm d, instead of the stationary arm E, and perform the same functions.

F represents a pin attached to the main arm E, and e a metallic guard to cover the pointot 5o the Dill lllil prevent the device from becoming detached. A

It is obvious thatthis device can beattached t0 either the shirt-sleeve or coatsleevc; but it is especially adapted to beattaehed to the lining` ofthe coat-sleeve in the manner shown in Fig. 2 ot' the drawings, and when so worn it has manifest advantage over devices looped to the shirt-sleeve.

I claiml. A cud-holding attachment consisting of the main plate E, Jformed or provided with the spring-clamp d and the guard-pin F and c, substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. A cuff-holding attachmenteonsisting of the main plate E, guard-pin F c, spring-clamp d, and barbs Gr, substantuillyv as and for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof l have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing 7o witnesses.

FORE BAIN.
