Improvements in and connected with Buttons, Studs and the like.
I, EWALD NOELLE, of Lüudenscheid, in the Province of Westphalia, German
Empire, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:--
My invention relates to improvements in buttons, studs and the like, and has
for its object to provide a button, which can be attached to any gentleman's or
lady's dress without being sewn to it. My improved button can easily be removed
from a dress and used for another one. It consists of two parts: a top part and
a bottom part; the top part is pressed upon a stem or leg of the bottom
part,
and a certain number of springs provided within the top part
press into a corresponding number of notches provided on the leg of the bottom
part, so that both parts will be rigidly connected together. For disconnecting
these two parts it is necessary to turn both parts in opposite direction until the
springs are pressed out of the notches and press against the round surface of the
leg of the bottom part. Then the top part can be removed.
In order to make my invention more clear, I refer to the accompanying draw-
ing, in which similar letters denote similar parts throughout the different
views, and in which:
Figure 1 represents a vertical section through my improved button, attached
to a piece of stuff,
Figure 2 shows a plan view of the same,
Figure 3 shows a detail view of the top part of my button, the cover being
omitted,
Figure 4 a plan view of the same,
Figure 5 a vertical section through the bottom part of my button, the top part
being removed,
Figure 6 a plan view of the same,
Figures 7 & 8 show plan and vertical section of the springs effecting the real
attachment.
My improved button exists of two parts.
The bottom part is formed by a plate e, carrying in its center a round stem b.
The stem is provided on its upper extremity with notches (in the construction
shown in the drawing there are four). This lower part traverses the stuff of
the dress, and the top part is pressed upon it. The latter consists of a hollow
circular plate a¹ a¹ covered by an ordinary button-plate a. In the centre of the
plate a an opening is provided: in the construction shown this opening is of
rectangular form, it also could be of triangular or other suitable form. The
upper wall a of this hollow plate is provided with four vertical walls a form-
ing guides for the leg of the bottom part of the button. On the lower wall a
repose four vertical plates & being provided at their upper extremities with
springs. These springs are directed inwards. When the top part is pressed
upon the bottom part the round sides of the stem or leg will press the springs
outside. If now the one or the other part is turned somewhat until the notches b

page_text: and the springs face each other, the latter will press into the notches and
both parts will be rigidly connected.
When the button is wanted to be removed onto another dress, both, the top
part and the bottom part are turned in opposite direction until the springs
are pressed outside the notches and are in face of the round parts of the stem
or leg b. Then the top part can easily be drawn off.

Improvements in and connected with Buttons, Studs and the like.
I, EWALD NOELLE, of Lüdenscheid, in the Province of Westphalia, German-
Empire, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and as-
certained in and by the following statement:-
:―
My invention relates to improvements in buttons, studs and the like, and has
for its object to provide a button, which can be attached to any gentleman's or
lady's dress without being sewn to it. My improved button can easily be removed
from a dress and used for another one. It consists of two parts: a top part and
a bottom part; the top part is pressed upon a stem or leg of the bottom
part, and a certain number of springs provided within the top part
press into a corresponding number of notches provided on the leg of the bottom
part, so that both parts will be rigidly connected together. For disconnecting
these two parts it is necessary to turn both parts in opposite direction until the
springs are pressed out of the notches and press against the round surface of the
leg of the bottom part. Then the top part can be removed.
In order to make my invention more clear, I refer to the drawing sent in with
provisional application, in which similar letters denote similar parts through-
out the different views, and in which:
Figure 1 represents a vertical section through my improved button, attached
to a piece of stuff,
Figure 2 shows a plan view of the same,
Figure 3 shows a detail view of the top part of my button, the cover being
omitted,
Figure 4 a plan view of the same,
Figure 5 a vertical section through the bottom part of my button, the top part
being removed,
Figure 6 a plan view of the same,
Figures 7 & 8 show plan and vertical section of the springs effecting the real
attachment.
My improved button exists of two parts.
The bottom part is formed by a plate c, carrying in its center a round stem b.
The stem is provided on its upper extremity with notches (in the construction
shown in the drawing there are 4). This lower part traverses the stuff of
the dress, and the top part is pressed upon it. The latter consists of a hollow
circular plate al al covered by an ordinary button-plate a. In the centre of the
plate a an opening is provided: in the construction shown this opening is of
rectangular form, it also could be of triangular or other suitable form. The
upper wall al of this hollow plate is provided with four vertical walls a form-
ing guides for the leg of the bottom part of the button. On the lower wall a

page_text: repose four vertical plates d being provided at their upper extremities with
springs d. These springs are directed inwards. When the top part is pressed
upon the bottom part the round sides of the stem or leg 6 will press the springs
outside. If now the one or the other part is turned somewhat until the noteles b
and the springs face each other, the latter will press into the notches and
both parts will be rigidly connected.
When the button is wanted to be removed onto another dress, both, the top
part and the bottom part are turned in opposite direction until the springs d
are pressed outside the notches and are in face of the round parts of the stem
or leg b. Then the top part can easily be drawn off.
Having now particularly described the nature of my said invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is : —
In a button, stud or the like, the combination of a stem or leg (b) provided
with notches (61), with a hollow circular top-plate (a¹ a¹) carrying springs (d)
engaging with the notches of the stem or leg (b), for the purpose and substan-
tially as described.
