I, BARTOLOMEUS JOSEPH OLEFF, of Nassauplein 39, The Hague, Holland,
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
This invention has reference to, and has for its object to prevent cuffs becoming
out of position in the sleeves of a coat.
Attempts have already been made for effecting this purpose in various ways,
by providing clips and the like, which were sewn into the sleeves of the coat,
and which were to hold the cuffs in position; but sewing these clips inside
the sleeves was exceedingly troublesome, and consequently prohibited the com-
mercial extension of their use.
The cuff stud, the subject of the present invention, obviates the defect of
clips, or the like, having to be sewn on, and by its arrangement it takes the
place of a special clip for holding the cuffs in position, being formed in a clip-
like manner.
The invention is illustrated in the annexed drawings, in which Figure 1 shews
a side view of the stud, and Figure 2 a modified form of same.
Figure 3 is a section through the coat sleeve and the cuffs, shewing the stud
in position.
Referring to the drawings, and more particularly to Figure 1. a is the lower
plate of the stud, provided with two upwardly turned flaps e, and buttoning
imechanism is fitted on the said plate. The two upwardly turned flaps care
perforated; and the cover of the stud, which may be ornamented in any
desired way, is hinged to the flaps c. The part of the lower plate a is provided
with tooth-like parts e, so that the covering plate of the stud and the lower
plate, may have a proper holder on the coat sleeve, which is pushed in between
them. Between the parts a and d a spring f is provided, by which the two
plates are pressed together, so as to form a strong clip. In the modification
shewn in Figure 2 the tooth-like parts e are not placed on the lower but on the
upper plate, and the spring is so arranged that the cover of the stud opens and
closes with a jerk.
Figure 3 of the drawings shews the manner of application of the stud; which
stud is clipped into the cuff as usual, and then clipped on to the edge of the
coat sleeve, so that it is impossible for the cuff to move out of position. The
retaining teeth of the stud may, of course, be arranged both on the lower and
upper plates.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. A cuff stud formed in the manner of a clip, whereby the cuff may be
had to the east clears for the purpose described.

page_text: 2. A cuff stud, comprising a lower plate carrying a buttoning appliance and
provided with upwardly turned flaps on which is hinged an upper plate, pressed
against the lower plate to form a clip by means of a spring, and one or other
of said plates being provided with tooth like protuberances; substantially as
and for the purposes described.
3. The cuff stud particularly as shewn in and set forth with reference to
Figures 1 and 2 of the drawings.
