The other bend is so made as to bring back the line of the pin between said bend and the point to the line of the pin the other side of the arst-named bend. The shape of the pin, with the two bends, is this: "^ /f/ — ���The pin is attached to the shield bj passing it through two holes in the shield, one hole at each end, so that the two ends of the pin are on one side of the shield, and the middle part or body is on the other side of it. The bends are abrupt or short, and form shoulders which bear in the holes, and keep the pin from moving or slipping back and forth. The pin, after it is in the shield, is flattened, especially at the unpointed end, so that it will lie more closely and firmly to the shield and not project from its surface. The pin is put into the shield and fastened by springing its ends together sufficiently to put them through the holes made for them in the shield. The claim of the patent is to the combination of the shield with the pin, con- structed and arranged to operate substantially as and for the pur- pose thus set forth. �The original patent, No. 159,921, speaks of only two ways of form- ing the fastenings of the pin. One is to have metallic rivets pass- ing through the body of the pin, and headed. The other is to have the rivets punched out of the body of the pin and bent over or clinched on the shield. The first claim of that patent is for a com- bination of three things — the shield, the pin, and the separate rivet- fastening. The second claim is for a combination of the shield and the pin, having rivets punched out of its body. But, with either form of fastening, the entire pin, when in place, is on one side of the shield, and the bent-over or clinched or headed ends of the fastenings are on the other side of the shield. The body of the pin is straight and continuons, aside from the supplementary fastenings. In the defendant's pin the body is not straight, and thereare no supplementary fastenings. The body of the pin, by being bent, fastens itself. Man- if estly the effort in the specification of the reissue is to enlarge the scope of the patent beyond what is warranted by the original. The reissue says that the projections may be "parts of the pin itself." �No way is shown in the original of making the projections parts of the pin itself, exoept by punching them out of its body. That means partly detaching part of the body, and letting it form a fin or pro- jection, to be bent down and clinched on the other side of the shield. The defendant's bends are parts of the pin itself, but they are not projections /rom the body, as in the plaintiff's pin, but are projections ��� �
