PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Collar Studs and the like.
We, GEORGE TAYLOR, of 4 and 5, Long Lane, Aldersgate Street, London, E.C.,
and THOMAS MORTON, of 405, Lodge Road, Hockley, in the City of Birmingham,
Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in collar studs and the like articles, and
refers more particularly to the attachment of the shank to its back.
This is intended chiefly to apply to studs having a pearl or bone back with the
shank attached thereto but may of course be similarly used if desired with backs of
other material.
In carrying out ibis our invention we provide the said back having a central hole
to receive the shank. This shank consists broadly of an enlarged head at one end,
a short body part, and an extended necklike part. The body part is a little larger
in diameter than the neck part, thus forming a shoulder of metal thereat, and the
head is of course larger in diameter than the body part. The length of the body
part is a little more than to receive the pearl &c. back and also a plate or washer ;
hence when the said pearl &c. back is placed thereon up against the head, and the
washer passed thereon up to and against the back, a tool (or tools) is brought to bear
against (or into so to speak) the shoulder of metal so as to open it outwards in order
to form a rivet like collar against the plate, and thus secure the head to the
shank.
In some cases if desired the washer may be dispensed with.
The front part or head of the stud may be treated or finished in the ordinary
manner.

THE TIKU.
We, GEORGE TAYLOR, of 4 and 5, Long Lane, Aldersgate Street, London, E.C.,
and THOMAS MORTON, of 405, Lodge Road, Hockley, in the City of Birmingham,
Manufacturers, 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 invention relates to improvements in collar studs and the like articles, and
refers more particularly to the attachment of the shank to its back.
This is intended chiefly to apply to studs having a pearl or bone back with the

page_text: shank attached thereto but may of course be similarly used if desired with backs of
other material.
In order to more clearly explain this our invention we have appended hereunto an
illustrative drawing upon which are figures and numbers of reference, similar numbers
referring throughout the several views to the same thing or part.
Fig. 1, is a view of a stud in which that portion relating to this our invention is
shown in section.
Figs. 2 and 3, are detached views in elevation and plan respectively of the shank
ready for insertion through the pearl &c. back.
Figs. 4, and 5, are plan and sectional views of a back as prepared for this our
invention.
7, is the back which is usually of pearl, but may of course be of other suitable
material. In this is made the central hole 8. 9, is the shank having the enlarged
head 10, and the short body part 11; and having its further extended part shaped &c.
to accommodate the front 12, which, in the case shown is hinged upon pivots 13, 13,
so that it may be turned down as shown in dotted lines to facilitate entrance into the
shirt &c. button hole. The front portion however forms no part of this our invention
but is merely shown as completing the article.
The body part 11, is a little larger than the neck part at 14, thus forming a shoulder
of metal at 15. The length of the body part is a little more than to receive the
back 7, to which is added the washer 16. When the back 7, is placed upon the shank
up to and against the head 10, and the washer 16 put thereon, then a nicking tool
(or tools) is brought to bear upon the shoulder 15, so as to open it outwards rivetwise
upon the washer 16, and thus the parts are firmly secured together.
In some cases the washer 16, may be dispensed with.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :-
1. The combination with a stud back 7 having hole 8 of the shank 9 having body
part 11 passed through from the rear with shoulder rivet 15 and with or without
washer 16, all substantially as set forth and shown.
2. A stud having shank which is passed through the back from the rear and
rivetted thereto upon its front side substantially as set forth and shown.
Dated this 18th day of January 1898.
