Improvements in the Construction of Moveable Studs.
I ARTHUR REYNOLDS of Vyse Street, Birmingham. in the county of Warwick
Stamper and Piercer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the construction of studs, used for collars
or. other similar purposes, having moveable shanks.
The construction of these articles consists primarily of a shank having at one end
the front stud or button, its other end being inserted into a hollow "back," such back
end of the shank being further turned over, swelled, rivettéd, or otherwise enlarged
within the hollow back, so as to prevent its withdrawal therefrom, but having a certain
amount of freedom for oscillating. It is found in such articles of present manufacture
that in consequence of the strain due to wear &c., the metal around the hole through
which the rear part of the shank enters the "back" becomes distorted, so much so as
in some instances to allow of the said shank falling out; this is owing to the weakness
of the metal forming this part of the "back."
The object of this my invention is to obviate this defect by strengthening such parts
of these backs."
I proceed after the following manner :-
When making this part I perforate a hole in the plate or dish (the front of the
"back") as usual. I then cut out a blank of metal, say about one eighth of an inch
larger in diameter than the said hole.
By suitable tools 1. further pierce the centre of this blank, and raise the metal around
this hole into an eyelet shape, and of such a size that it will pass into the hole in the
"back" plate, when such eyelet part is closed over, securing it firmly to the said
"back." By this means the metal around the hole is much stronger, as there is two
thicknesses of metal, and also the metal in the hole is much smoother than at present,
while it further presents a much more neat appearance.
Instead, however of forming the eyelet in one with the inside blank, I may if
desired, make a separate washer for the inside blank, and connect it to the "back" by
a separate eyelet.
By strengthening the backs of moveable studs in this, or similar manner, their
durability is increased, and their neatness improved.

page_text: ARTHUR REYNOLDS, 81, Vyse Street, Birmingham Stamper & Piercer, 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 Patent is for an Improvement in a rocking Collar Stud. The Patent consists
of the Washer A with Central-Tubular neck B the Tubular neck B passes through
the Hole (where the rocking shaft C passes) in centre of Shell D and is clenched back
on to face of Shell D making three thicknesses of metal, thus making a stronger and
a better stud.
The Stud is made in the following way-Firstly-Imake the large shell D in the
usual way namely cut out a round Blank of metal-then it is shaped into a Dome and
then a hole is pierced in the centre. Secondly-I make the washer A which constitutes
my Invention, first I cut out a round blank of metal and pierce a round hole through
the centre Thirdly the edge of this small central hole is pressed out into the Tubular
form B.
Having now made the large shell D and the washer A I pass the tubular neck B of
washer A through the central hole of the, large shell D and then give the neck Ba
blow with the press which turns the edge down all round onto the front of the shell D
making it as one piece, and therefore much stronger where strength is required―This
having been previous to my Invention a weak point in revolving Collar Studs.
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
Firstly The specially cased central hole of Shell of Stud.
Secondly By means of a double washer.
Thirdly Which gives strength, that is a triple strength to the hole of stud.
