Sleeve Clasp And Button For Cuff Patents (Class 24/43)
  • Patent number: 5148578
    Abstract: Disclosed is a cord lock device for use in connection with wearing apparel comprising an integrally molded housing including a back support securely connectible to the wearing apparel by means such as, for example stitching. The housing is adapted to receive a pivotally biased cam lock member having a release lever or button. In use, one end of a cord is securely fastened to the back support of the device or to the apparel and the free end of the cord is threaded through the housing adjacent the cam lock member and is positioned for selective pulling, the cord portion defined between the one and free ends of the cord defining a cord loop. The cord loop is sewn into the material of the apparel so that when the free end of the cord is pulled, the material is pulled into close contact with the adjacent part of the body. The preferred location of the device is at the cuffs of a jacket or pants so that they may be pulled about the wrists or legs of the wearer.

  • Patent number: 4566155
    Abstract: A cufflink is provided in two parts, namely a decorative head member and a link member with a shank and a flange with a shirt cuff button hiding recess. The decorative head has an opening formed in its rear plate, which opening is normally partially obstructed at two diametrically opposed sites by respective limbs of a spring. The tip end of the shank is grooved to be caught between the spring limbs. For assembling the cufflink through a shirt cuff, the tip of the shank is inserted in the opening in the rear plate of the decorative head and the two members are pressed together until the spring limbs catch in the shank grooves. For release, a lever on the side of the head is pressed transversally of the head, forcing the spring limbs temporarily apart and thus freeing the shank tip for withdrawal from the head rear plate opening.

  • Patent number: 4528726
    Abstract: A cuff link removably attachable to a shirt cuff which has one buttonhole only comprises a link member detachably mountable on one cuff end in resiliently clamping relationship and a decorative member removably attachable to the link member on the other cuff. The link member includes a link post having a semispherical head insertable through the buttonhole in the other cuff into a circular hole in the decorative member and retainable therein by a spring fitted in grooves in the head. The decorative member can be attached to the link member simply by pushing them together until the spring is fitted in the grooves. For detaching the decorative member from the link member, they are relatively turned until the spring is displaced out of the grooves, whereupon the head can be pushed out of the circular hole under the resiliency of the spring.
