COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Cravat Holders.
I, JOSEPH HILLEBRAND, of 20, Clarendon Grove, Euston Road, in the County
of London, Cabinet Maker, 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 :-
My invention relates to holders for attaching cravats to collar studs or buttons
and it comprises a plate designed to be attached to the back of a cravat or tie and
provided with a hole, slot or recess adapted to receive and hold the head of a collar
stud or a collar button a spring or plate being also advantageously provided for
keeping the stud-head or button in position or preventing it from catching in the
lining or back of the cravat. Or the holder may be made of wire bent to the
required shape and attached to the cravat in any suitable manner. Or the holder
may be made in the form of an eyelet which is placed in a hole made in the cravat
so as to allow the stud-head to project through to the front of the cravat and serve
as an ornament in place of a scarf pin.
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe how it can be
carried into practice by reference to the accompanying drawing in which :-
Figure 1 is a rear elevation of a cravat holder provided with a retaining spring
and made according to my invention the holder being applied to a collar stud the
stem of which is shewn in section, and the cravat being indicated by a dotted
line.
Figure 2 is a cross section of the cravat holder shewing the collar stud in
elevation the cravat being iudicated by a dotted line.
Figure 3 is a front elevation of a cravat holder of slightly different shape and
provided with a covering plate instead of a spring.
Figure 4 is a cross section of Figure 3.
Figure 5 is an elevation of a cravat holder of another shape.
Figure 6 is an elevation of my cravat holder made of wire.
Figure 7 is an elevation of my cravat holder made in the form of an eyelet and
shewn applied to a piece of a cravat, and,
Figure 8 is a section of Figure 7.

a, Figures 1 to 5 is the plate provided with holes b, b to allow of it being sewn
or otherwise attached to the back of the cravat (Figures 1 and 2). d is the hole,
slot or recess adapted to receive and hold the bead of a collar stud such as e,
Figures 1 and 2.
Figures 1 and 2 is the spring which by pressing on the stud-head, serves to
keep it in position and prevent it catching in the lining or material of the cravat c,
the said spring being advantageously formed by the piece which is only partially
stamped out of the plate a in order to form the hole d as clearly seen in
Figure 2.
9, Figures 3 and 4 is the plate with which I sometimes provide my cravat holder
for preventing the stud or button from catching in the lining or material of the
cravat, such plate being dished as clearly shewn in Figure 4 to allow room for the
stud-head between itself and the plate a and secured to the latter by its top and
bottom edges being turned over at g', g' and clipping the top and bottom edges of
the plate a.
The cravat holder shewn in Figure 5 is similar to that herein before described
and illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 except that it is of somewhat different shape, a
simple recess d takes the place of the hole or slot and it is not provided with a
spring for plate g.
Figure 6 shews my cravat holder when made from wire curved to the required
shape to form the attaching holes b, band stud recess dit being intended to be
sewn or otherwise fixed to the back of the cravat as will be well understood.
Figures 7 and 8 shew the cravat holder made in the form of an eyelet simply
intended to be secured in an opening in the cravat so as to allow the stud-head to
project through to the front of the cravat and thus form an ornament in place of a
scarf pin.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A cravat holder consisting of a plate designed to be attached to the back of a
cravat or tie and provided with a hole, slot or recess adapted to receive and hold
the head of a collar stud or a collar button, substantially as set forth.
2. The combination with a cravat holder of the kind referred to in Claim 1 of a
spring serving to keep the stud-head in position and prevent it from catching in
the lining or material of the cravat, substantially, as hereinbefore described and
illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawing.
3. The combination with a cravat holder of the kind referred to in Claim 1 of a
plate for preventing the stud-head from catching in the lining or material of the
cravat, substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated in Figures 3 and 4 of
the accompanying drawing.
4. The cravat holders herein before described and illustrated in Figure 5,
Figure 6 and Figures 7 and 8 respectively of the accompanying drawing.
Dated the 21st day of December 1893.
