1 GEORGE COOP of 44 Great Windmill Street, Haymarket in the County of
Middlesex, Diamond and General Setter, do hereby declare that I am in possession of
an Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN DETACHABLE FASTENINGS FOR STUDS, BUTTONS.
HOOKS AND OTHER SIMILAR ARTICLES and in what manner the same is to he

statement :-
"
This Invention has for its object improvements in detachable fastenings for studs,
buttons, hooks and other similar articles and consists in connecting to the button (for
example) of a link, which passes through the material or substance to which it is
desired to attach these improvements. When the link or staple has been so inserted
it is secured in the following manner viz. :-
The ends of a staple or of the link connected as before described with the stud,
button, or hook protrudes a sufficient distance through the material or substance to
allow of the placing on the link or staple of the said ends of the button, stud or hook
as the case may he, of a dise which is so constructed as to receive a pin, screw or
other locking device which passes through the dise and through eyes formed in the
ends of the staple for the purpose of securing the same to the garment or other
apparel, material or substance.
In order that my Invention may be more fully understood and readily carried into
effect I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying
drawings..

page_text: I would have it understood that these improvements are capable of being applied
to other devices which are required to be rigid with the material and in order to
carry my improvements into effect I may employ 2 dises as shown at Fig. 5 i.e., a disc
on either side of the material.
In either modification the key which serves to lock the fastening may be provided
with a spring or other well known form of catch without departing from the essential
features of these improvements.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
In apparatus for fastening or securing to fabric or other material, buttons, studs, or
other like detachable appliances, the attachment to existing buttons, or other articles
of a link or staple passing through the material and locked on the opposite side by a
Key passing through an enclosing dise or washer substantially in the manner and by
the means herein set forth and described with reference to the accompanying
