PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Combination Stud and Tie or Scarf Holder.
I, ALFRED EDWARD BAILEY, of 17, Salisbury Road, Handsworth, in the County
of Stafford, Tool Maker, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to
be as follows:-
-
My invention has for its object a new or improved combination stud and tie
or scarf holder which is capable of holding the collar to the shirt band and also
the necktie or scarf in position at the same time and from which the neck tie or
scarf may be readily detached as also the collar.
I make a stud or button from any kind of metal, pearl, bone or other material
or a combination of metal or material and having a shank or eye formed with
or fastened thereto. The shank is formed sufficiently long to pass through the
required thickness of material and finishes with a horizontal slot or slot suit-
able to receive a flat sectional cross bar or tie clip. This cross bar or tie clip
is formed with a hook projection at each end with a hollow or notch at or about
the middle of its length in which the eye takes when the bar stands at right
angles to the eye or shank and hooked ends are bent backwards so as to allow the
bar to lie flat against the collar or other part to which it is secured. The cross
bar or tie clip will hand in line with the stud shank when it is being placed
through the hole of the shirt collar or other article and is then turned to right
angles into the hollow or notch aforesaid. One of the hooked ends of the cross
bar may be left long so as to spring over the other hooked end of the bar or the
long hooked end may be hinged so as to open to take the tie and when closed to
spring over a catch at the loose end.

I, ALFRED EDWARD BAILEY, of 17, Salisbury Road, Handsworth, in the County
of Stafford, Tool Maker, do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 has for its object a new or improved combination stud and tie

page_text: or scarf holder which is capable of holding the collar to the shirt band and also
the necktie or scarf in position at the same time and from which the necktie or
scarf, may be readily detached as also the collar.
I make a stud or button from any kind of metal, pearl, bone, or other material
or a combination of metal or material and having a shank or eye formed with
or fastened thereto. The shank is formed sufficiently long to pass through the
required thickness of material and finishes with a horizontal slot or slots suit-
able to receive a flat sectioned cross bar or tie clip. This cross bar or tie clip
is formed with a hook projection at each end with a hollow or notch at or about
the middle of its length in which the eye takes when the bar stands at right
angles to the eye. The hooked ends are bent backwards so as to allow the
bar to lie flat against the collar or other part to which it is secured. The cross
bar or tie clip will hang in line with the stud shank when it is being placed
through the hole of the shirt collar or other article and is then turned to right
angles into the hollow or notch aforesaid. One of the hooked ends of the cross
bars may be left long so as to spring over the other hooked end of the bar or the
long hooked end may be hinged so as to open to take the tie and when closed to
spring over a catch at the loose end.
In order that my invention may be more clearly understood and easily carried
into practical effect I have appended a double sized sheet of drawings upon which
I have illustrated examples of my combination stud and tie or scarf holders.
Figure 1 is a perspective view shewing a portion of a collar and tie with my
combination stud and tie holder fitted in position.
Figure 2 is a side view shewing my combination stud and tie or scarf holder
in a position ready for threading or inserting into the bottom hole of the shirt
and collar.
Figure 3 is a side view shewing my combination stud and tie or scarf holder
in the position it assumes when fitted in the shirt and collar.
Figure 4 is a part sectional end view of Figure 3.
Figure 5 is a side view of a slightly modified form of my combination stud
and tie or scarf holder.
Figure 6 is a cross sectional view of Figure 5.
Figure 7 is a side view shewing further modified form of my stud and tie
holder.
Figure 8 is a left hand end view of Figure 7.
Figures 9 10 and 11 are views of further modifications.
In carrying my invention into practice I make the stud or button a¹ of my
combined stul and tie or scarf holder A from any kind of metal pearl bone
or other material or a combination of metal and other material having the eye
piece either forming part of it or fastened thereto. This eye piece is formed
sufficiently long to pass through the required thickness of material say the
collar Cand the neck band of the shirt and finished with the horizontal slot a³
suitable to receive the flat section cross bar B which forms the tie clip. The
cross bar or tie clip B is bent or formed with the hook projection at either
end for the tie or scarf T to fit into and with the hollow or notch about the
middle of its length in which the slotted end of the eye piece a² fits when the
bar or clip stands at right angles to the shank. The hooked ends are bent
backwards so as to allow the bar to lie flat against the collar C or other part to
which it is secured. This cross bar or clip B is moved so as to be in line with
the eye piece a² as shewn at Figure 2 when it is being threaded through the
hole in the shirt collar and collar or other article and is then turned at right
angles to the eye piece so that the hollow or notch rests in the eye or slot a³
as clearly shewn at Figure 3.
In the method as shewn at Figures 5 and 6 I form the eye piece a² hollow and
fit the coiled spring s into the interior one end of which butts against the inner
side of the button or stud a¹ and the other butts against the block or plug at as
clearly shewn at Figure by which means the stud is more securely held in
!
