PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Button or Stud, for Wearing Apparel, for Attachment
Without being Sewn.
I GEORGE TUCKER JONES 23, Sherwood Place, Llwynypia, Glamorganshire,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
It consists in adding to the usual buttoning head, a flanged and inwardly
screwed shank, all of which may be in one piece, or built up in parts. The shank
is screwed inwardly so that it can be screwed on to a bolt having for its head, a
plate formed from the same piece, or made so as to be attached to it; this head
serves as a companion flange to the one provided with the buttoning head. The
point of the bolt is sharpened so as to penetrate the material of which the wearing
apparel is composed, to which it is attached from the reverse side to the side on
which the buttoning head is put.
When the button or stud is required to be attached it is only necessary to press
the bolt through the material to which it is to be applied, afterwards to screw the
buttoning head on to same until the material becomes gripped between the two
flanges.
The bolt head flange may be serrated, or provided with projections for special
gripping power, and be in form other than round if necessary. The buttoning
head flange also may be serrated and provided with projections if used loose. The
flanges may be flat or hollowed, concave like.
This button or stud can be used with advantage on wearing apparel that
requires washing or cleaning, as it can be easily and quickly taken off and put on
again.
