PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Metal Buttons and in the Means of Attaching
such Buttons to the Cloth.
I, CHARLES FREDERICK NOKES, of Avenue Road, Aston, Birmingham, in the
county of Warwick, Stamper, Piercer, and Button Manufacturer, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
My improvements consist in so stamping, drawing down, or otherwise working the
centre, or pot (here-in-after called the pot) of any shape, style, or description of
Metal Button in such a manner as to cause the centre or any desired part or the
whole of the pot of such Button to become elongated forming a second and smaller
pot drawn from the Metal forming the bottom of the original pot in such a manner,
and to such an extent, as to enable such part of the pot so drawn or elongated (here-
in-after called the connector) to be used in itself (after the seat or extremity of such
connector has been suitably pierced or cut out in whole or part) as a means of fastening
the Button in any desired manner as here-in-after described. This fastening may be
accomplished either by turning over the whole or part of the connector (after such
connector has been pierced as here-in-before described) upon a Washer of Metal or
other material suitably pierced to receive such connector, or upon the cloth or
material to which it is desired to attach the Button; or the same result may be
obtained by splitting or otherwise cutting or piercing the whole or any portion of
the connector into two or more sections, and turning over such split or cut parts
of the said connector upon a washer of metal or other material, or upon the cloth or
material to which it is desired to attach the button, or a portion only of the seat or
extremity of the connector may be cut or pierced out, leaving a strip or bar across
the seat or extremity of the connector, and this unpierced portion, or bar, of the
connector, after being passed through a slit or cut of the desired size and shape in
the washer or cloth, may be fastened by means of a suitable piece or pieces of metal
or wire or other material as may be deemed desirable.

page_text: Improvements in Metal Buttons and in the Means of Attaching
such Buttons to the Cloth.
I, CHARLES FREDERICK NOKES, of Avenue Road, Aston, Birmingham, in the
county of Warwick, Stamper, Piercer and Button Manufacturer 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 improvements consist in so stamping, drawing down or otherwise working the
centre or pot (here-in-after called the pot) of any shape, style, or description of
Metal Button or circular piece of Metal suitable for the purpose of making such
Button in such a manner as to cause the centre, or any desired part, or the whole
of the pot of such Button to become elongated forming a second and smaller pot
drawn from the Metal forming the bottom or base of the original pot, in such a
manner and to such an extent as to enable such part of the pot so drawn or elongated
(here-in-after called the connector) to be used in itself-after the seat or extremity of
such connector, or the sides of such connector near its seat or extremity, has been
suitably pierced or cut out in whole or in part as here-in-after described as a means
of fastening the Button to a suitable washer placed at the back of the cloth or
material to which it is desired to affix the Button. The base, or extremity, of the
connector may either be wholly pierced out, and the sides, or part of the sides of
such connector after being passed through a suitable hole cut or otherwise pierced in
the cloth to which it is desired to attach the button-may be turned over upon the
washer before mentioned in the manner of an eyelet turnover; or the same result
may be obtained by splitting or otherwise cutting or piercing the whole or any
portion of the connector into two or more sections, and turning over such split or
cut parts of the said connector upon a washer of Metal or other material or upon the
cloth or material to which it is desired to attach the button, or a portion only of the
seat or extremity of the connector may be cut or pierced out, leaving a strip or bar
across the seat or extremity of the connector, and this unpierced portion, or bar, of
the connector, after being passed through a slit or cut of the desired size and shape
in the washer and cloth, may be fastened by means of a suitable piece or pieces of
Metal or wire or other material, as may be deemed desirable; or suitable small holes
may be pierced or drilled in the sides of the connector near its base, and the connector
secured to the washer-after such connector has been passed through the cloth to
which it is desired to attach the Button in the manner here-in-before described, (and
a suitably pierced washer having been passed over the base of the connector beyond
and above or nearer the cloth than the holes drilled or pierced in such connector)
by means of a suitable piece or pieces of wire or ordinary button fastener passed
through the holes so pierced or drilled in such connector.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
1st. The stamping or otherwise drawing of a second and smaller pot from the base
of the original pot of an ordinary unpierced button, or from the centre of a circular
piece of Metal suitable for the purpose of making such button.
2nd. The piercing of such second and smaller pot in a manner suitable to affix the
button of which such smaller pot is a portion to a suitable washer, or to the cloth or
material to which it is desired to attach such button.
3rd. The fixing of such smaller pot to the washer or cloth by means of a piece or
pieces of wire, button fastener, or by turning over the edges of the base of such
smaller pot in the manner of an eyelet turnover.
Dated this 24th day of August 1887.
