I, PIERRE ALBERT RAYMOND, of Grenoble, Isère, France, Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
This invention relates to means of fastening buttons, especially those of globular
spring kind, to leather or fabric. For this purpose the button is made with an.
internal sleeve internally screw threaded and is screwed on to a threaded stud or
eyelet fixed to and projecting from a washer or plate through a hole in the leather
or fabric, which is thus clamped between the base of the button and the washer
or plate. The base of the button is made star-shaped, and a wrench with a star-
shaped hole is employed to, screw the button on to the stud or eyelet. When there
are several buttons in a row, all the studs or eyelets for them may be fixed to one
plate at the required distance apart.

I, PIERRE ALBERT RAYMOND, of Grenoble, Isère, France, Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following state-
ment:-
This invention relates to means of fastening buttons, especially those of globular
spring kind to leather or fabric, as I shall describe referring to the accompanying
drawings which shew my invention applied to the fastening of boots by way of
example.
Fig. is a section and Fig. 2 an elevation of the globular button a which is
slit at the sides, the branches between the slits forming springs.
Within the button is fitted, as shewn in Fig. 3. the flange b of an internally
threaded eyelet or sleeve c which, as shewn in Fig. 4, is screwed on a solid or
hollow screw stud d projecting from a disc e, the leather or fabric being secured
between the flange b and the disc e. A wrench shewn in section in Fig. 5 and in
plan in Fig. 6 can be employed to screw on the button, the internal teeth of the
wrench engaging in the slits of the button.
The fastening described may be applied to a boot as shewn in Figs. 7 and 8.

page_text: Fig. 7 shewing the boot fastened and Fig. 8 shewing it unbuttoned. Instead of
having separate discs e one for each button as described above, a plate g shewn in
section in Fig. 9 and in plan in Fig. 10 may be employed with three screw studs d
projecting from it, one for each button a. The studs d instead of being separate
pieces rivetted to the plate g may be punched up from it as shewn in the longitu-
dinal section Fig. 11.
The studs are passed through holes h of the leather or fabric, as shewn in
Fig. 12, these holes being sufficiently large to allow of the buttons being more
or less shifted to suit the shape of the wearer's instep.
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. The fastening of a button on leather or fabric by screwing an eyelet or sleeve
within it on a screw stud projecting from a dise on the other side of the leather
or fabric, substantially as described.
2. The substitution of a single plate with several screw studs for separate discs
with studs, substantially as described.
3. For screwing on the buttons the internally toothed wrench f.
