HENRY FREDERICK SCHWARZ Warehouseman 29-30 Noble Street London E.C.
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to give greater security from loss should the
button hole in any article of wearing apparel, be or become too large to prevent
the stud from falling out. To accomplish this object, I reduce the back of the stud
to about one half the usual size or slightly larger than the head or front. I then
thread on the stem of the stud a disk of metal or other suitable material, of a size
equal to the back of an ordinary stud. The disk may not necessarily be round but
be oval or pear shaped at my discretion.
may
prefer the stem of the stud to be wormed wholly or in part so that the disk
may work up and down as on a screw.
To secure the stud in the garment the back being of a convenient size can be
passed through the button hole and the disk pressed or screwed down towards it,
thus gripping the material between the back and the disk.
To secure a firmer grip of the material I may prefer to cover the inside of
the disk and the back, with paper, rubber, or other material or may use a rough
surface.

Improvements in Studs, applicable to Solitaires and other similar
Articles.
I HENRY FREDERICK SCHWARZ of 29 Noble Street, London, 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 :-
The object of my invention is to give greater security from loss should the button
(or stud) hole in any article of wearing apparel be or become so large as to allow
of the stud falling out.
To accomplish this object I reduce the dimensions of the back of an ordinary
stud to about half the usual size or slightly larger than the head or front. The
back and front of the stud need not necessarily be in these exact proportions so long
as they are of a convenient size to pass through a button or stud hole.
I screw thread the stem of the stud, and employ a disc of metal or other suitable
material of the size equal to the back of an ordinary stud to run on the stem.
The
disc need not necessarily be round but may be oval or pear shaped (at my
discretion).
The stem of the stud may be wormed wholly or in part so that the disc will work
up and down as on a screw.

page_text: To secure the stud.in the garment I first screw the disc towards the head or
front and then pass the back through the button hole, then by screwing the disc in
the opposite direction the material becomes gripped between the back of the stud
and the disc leaving the head or front of the stud free to be passed through other
button holes in the usual manner.
To secure a firmer grip of the material I may prefer to cover the sides of
the disc, back and front, with paper, rubber or other material or may use a rough
surface.
My invention will be clearly understood from an inspection of the accompanying
drawings.
Figure 1, represents my improved stud with the base or back A reduced in size
as described. with the disc B on a wormed stein C.
Fi
Figure 2, shows the disc B screwed upwards to the head D of the stud.
igure 3, shows the disc B screwed downwards to the back A of the stud.
Figure 4, E represents a piece of cloth or other material with the back A of the
stud passed through the buttonhole and the disc B screwed towards it thus gripping
the material E as described.
Figure 5 is a back view of Figure 4.
Figure 6 is my improved stud with the stem C wormed only in part of its
length.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. A stud with the back and front of convenient sizes to pass through a button-
hole with a disc working up and down on a stem wormed wholly or in part, which
disc will grip the material between either the back or front when the disc is screwed
towards it as described and as shown on the accompanying drawings.
2. A reversible stud with the back and front of convenient sizes to pass through
a buttonhole with a disc capable of being turned along on a stem wormed wholly or
in part as set forth and represented.
