page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Henry Scott, of Liverpool, in the County of Lancaster,
for an Invention of "AN IMPROVED FASTENER FOR FASTENING OR HOLDING
SCARVES, TIES, OR CRAVATS."
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Henry Scott at the Office of
the Commissioners of Patents on the 26th October 1881.
"AN IMPROVED
HENRY SCOTT, of Liverpool, in the County of Lancaster.
FASTENER FOR FASTENING OR HOLDING SCARVES, TIES, OR CRAVATS."
My Invention consists in fastening or holding scarves, ties, or cravats to the
stud, button, or other collar fastener of shirts.
The fastener according to my Invention consists of a hook or holder which ships
between the head of the stud or button, and the shirt or shirt collar. This hook is
provided with a spike or spikes, or its or their equivalent, which is or are inserted
into or attached to the scarf, tie, or cravat.
To illustrate the currying out of my Invention in the case of an ordinary
sailor's knot scarf in the back of the knot close to the collar I affix the fastener or
holder by means of its spike or spikes or equivalent. Upon fastening the scarf to
the collar by means of the neck band, I hook or fasten the fastener or holder
between the head and the back of the button or stud.
I would have it understood that my Invention can be applied to numerous sorts
of scarves, ties, or cravats, and that it is applicable to different kinds of collars and
collar fasteners.

1882.
HENRY SCOTT, of Liverpool, in the County of Lancaster. "AN IMPROVED
FASTENER FOR FASTENING OR HOLDING SCARVES, TIES, OR CRAVATS."
My Invention consists in fastening or holding scarves, ties, or cravats to the stud,
button, or other collar fastener of shirts, the object being to prevent the riding up
of the scarf, tic, or cravat at the front of the collar, my Invention being particularly
applicable to that class of collar known as stand up collars.
The following is a description of my Invention in full, clear, and exact terms,
and sufficient to enable any intelligent person to put my Invention into practice,
reference being had to the annexed Sheet of Drawings which are marked with
letters and figures of reference corresponding with those in the following explann-
tion, like letters being used to denoto the same or corresponding parts in the
various views.
The fastener according to my Invention is shown by the device A in the
Drawings. This device A may take various forms, and is capable of various
modification, the essential features of the device being first a catch or equivalent
contrivance B which takes round the stud or button of the shirt collar, and
second, a spike or spikes or pin or equivalent contrivance C, by which the device A
is secured, fastened, or stitched to the scarf or tie. The device A being a hook or
holder, is used to keep the scarf or tie D from riding up the shirt collar E, and is
applied as shown at Figure 7, the devico being first applied to the tie or scarf, as
shown at Figure 8, the part B of the device A catching the stud or button F, as
shown at Figure 7. The spikes or equivalent contrivanco C ship into the back of
the tie or scarf, and upon fastening the tic or scarf by means of its neck band, the
contrivance B ships under the stud or button F, as shown in Figure 7.
I would have it understood that the device A can be applied to numerous sorts
of scarves, ties, or cravats, and that it is applicable to different kinds of collars and
collar fastenings, also that it may assume any of the forms and means of attach-
ment shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of the Drawings, and that it is also
capable of further modification, as will be understood.
What I claim as my Invention and secured to me by Letters Patent as afore-
said is,―
A device such as A, as a means for keeping scarves, ties, and cravats in position
in the front of shirt collars, as herein described and shown in the Drawings
hereto annexed.
In witness whereof, I, the said Henry Scott, have hereunto set my hand
and seal, this Nineteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord One thousand
eight hundred and eighty two.
