Improvements in Combined Collar Studs and Tie Retainers.

I THOMAS MORTON, of Lodge Road, in the City of Birmingham, Stamper and
Piercer do hereby declare, the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the construction, and arrangement of
combined collar studs and tie retainers, and more particularly adapted to the back
of the shirt band, and consists as follows:-Upon a suitable back plate I rivet or
otherwise suitably fasten a shank which consists of a vertical, plate whose depth
(vertically) is about the width of an ordinary button,,and thus accommodates itself
to the vertical button hole in the collar, and maintains the vertical position of the
device. The inner part of this which lies next to the back is reduced so that in
case the button hole in the shirt should lie in the horizontal direction, this reduced
part will accommodate itself to such button hole.. without altering the vertical
position of the device.
11.
At the front vertical edge of the shank, is now attached an elongated piece which
is preferably made capable of a sliding imovement upon the said shank, but which
in some instances may be rigid in which latter case, the elongation will be carried
below the shank. The ends of this elongated part may be more or less rounded,
pointed or otherwise shaped to facilitate entrance into the button holes.
Its action is as follows:-The elongated part is first passed through the shirt
band button hole until the said shirt band is passed up to and against the stud back
plate. Then the collar button hole is passed over the elongated part on to the
shank. The elongated part is now downbanging below the hole and under it and
between it and the collar the neck tie may be passed, and thus the tie kept in this
position. With the sliding elongated part, the passage of the same into the button
holes is much facilitated by the said slide being first pushed up into its highest
position, and after, the insertions have been made,, it is again pushed downwards to
serve as the tie retainer.

Improvements in Combined Collar Studs and Tie Retainers.
I THOMAS MORTON, of Lodge Road, in the City of Birmingham, Stamper and
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 invention relates to improvements in the construction and arrangement of
combined collar studs and tie retainers.
In order to more clearly explain this my invention, I have hereunto appended 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 full view of my invention.

page_text: Fig. 2, is a plan view of my invention?
Fig. 3, is a sectional view of my invention on line A-B.
Fig. 4, is a view of my invention showing the slide in its raised position.
Upon a suitable back plate 5, I rivet or otherwise suitably fasten a shank 6,
which consists of a vertical plate 7, whose depth (vertically) is about the width of
an ordinary) button hole, and thus accominodates itself to the vertical button hole
in the collar, shown in dotted lines at 8, and maintains the vertical position of the
device. The inner part 9 of this which lies next to the back 5, is reduced so that
in case the button hole in the shirt 10, showu in dotted lines, should lie in the
horizontal direction, which is generally the case, this: reduced part 9, will
accommodate itself to such button hole without altering the vertical position of the
device.
At the front vertical edge of the shank, is now attached an elongated piece 11,
which is preferably made capable of a sliding movement upon the said shank.
This may be effected by making; grooves 12; 12, upon each side of the shank, so
that the overhanging edges: 13, 13, of the slide 11, may tightly work therein; so
that the said slide may be up or down as may be desired. The details of the sliding:
means of course may be modified if desired. The ends of this elongated part may
be more or less rounded; pointed or otherwise shaped to facilitate entrance into (the
button holes. In some cases I may make this part 11, rigid,to the shank 6,iu
which case the elongation will be carried below the shank as seen in Fig: 1.
Its action is as follows: The clongated part 11, ist first passed through the shirt
band button hole until the said shirt band 10, is passed up to and against the stud
back plate 5 into the reduced portion 9: Then the collar button hole 8, is passed
over the elongated-part 11, on to the shank. The elongated part is now down
hanging below the hole and under it and between it and the collar 8, the necktie 14;
may be passed, and thus the tie kept in this position. With the sliding. elongated
part, the passage of the leame into the button holes is much facilitated by the said
slide being first pushed up into its highest position,sa's seen in Fig. 4, and after the
insertions have been made, it is again pushed downwards to serve as the tie retainer,
as shown in Fig.1:
L
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my
said invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that
what-I-claim is:
"
1. In a collar stud and tie retainer, the coinbination with the back 5, and shank 6,
of the elongated part 11, fixed rigidly thereto, substantially as herein described and
shown.
2: In a collar stud and tie retainer, the combination with the back 5, and shank 6,
of the sliding elongated part 11, substantially as described and illustrated.
