T J.K.ROGERS. BUTTON HOOK ATTACHMENT FORSHOES, GLOVES, &c.
Patented Apr. 9, 1895.
FFICE.
JAMES KNEPLEY ROGERS, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA;
BUTTON-HOOK ATTACHMENT FOR SHOES, GLOVES, etc.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 537,364, dated April 9, 1895.
Application filed October 12, 1894; Serial No. 52 1 N m del-l To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES KNEPLEY ROG- ERs, of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Button-Hook Attachment for Shoes, Gloves, and the Like, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of the invention is to provide a means for attaching a button hook to a shoe, glove or other buttoned article, in such a manner as will permit a longitudinal movement of the button hook, adjacent to the line of button holes in such article, the hook being so attached and guided as to permit a convenient manipulation thereof in buttoning the shoe or other article.
The invention consists in the novel features hereinafter particularly described and defined in the claims.
Reference is to be had to the aocom panyin g drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the views.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a shoe having my improved attachment applied thereto; and Fig. 2 is an interior View of a portion of a shoe and the attachment thereon, on a larger scale.
I have shown the attachment as applied to a shoe, but it will be understood that it may be appliedto gloves or any other article needing a button hook in its fastening. The attachment in its preferred form comprises a tape A, of fabric or its equivalent, and a second tape 13 carrying the button hook O at one end, and so connected with the tape A as to be capable of being shifted along the same.
The tape A is applied to the shoe or other article adjacent to the line of button holes E and is fastened at its ends, as at a a, to such article, by stitching or otherwise, it being understood that the ring I) on the tape B, is first passed upon the tape A, the ring being free to be shifted along the tape A to bring the button hook G into convenient position for successively engaging the several buttons.
The tapes and button hook may be formed of any suitable material, and in fact the tape A may be substituted by any other suitable slideway, and any other flexible connection may be employed between the button hook and the tape A.
In connection with the described attachment, I provide in the shoe or other article near the top, a pocket D adapted to accommodate the hook O, and apply to such pocket at its entrance a guide din the form of a bent wire, or other suitable material, which projects above the entrance to the pocket for guiding the button hook O thereto, and for promoting convenience in opening the entrance slit to the pocket.
Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination,'with a shoe, glove or like article having an opening adapted to be buttoned, of a slideway extending longitudinally of the said opening and adjacent thereto, a button hook, and a connection between the buttonhook and the slideway, the connection permitting a movement of the book along the slideway and the opening to be buttoned, substantially as described.
2. The combination, with a shoe, glove or like article having an opening adapted to be buttoned, of a slideway extending longitudinally of the said opening and adjacent thereto, a button hook, a connection between the button hook and the slideway, the connection permitting a movement of the hook along the slideway and the opening to be buttoned and a seat on the inside of the article near the outer end of the slideway, to accommodate the button hook, substantially as described.
3. A shoe or the like having an elongated opening and fastening buttons extending along the same, provided at the inner side of its flap with a slide way elongated in the direction of the opening, a buttoner, and a connection securing said buttoner permanently to the shoe and having a sliding connection with the slideway, all substantially as described, whereby the buttoner may be ad-' j usted along the slideway into convenient position to operate in connection with any of the buttons, and whereby any considerable length of connection is avoided and the buttoner is maintained permanently in connection with the shoe or the like, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
