I, JOSEPH ROBERT MOVOY, of Westminster Bridge Road, Harrogate, in the
County of York Hosier, Glover, and Outfitter, do hereby declare the nature of my
Invention for "A DEVICE TO PREVENT STUDS OR PARTS OF STUDS OR LIKE
ARTICLES FROM FALLING OUT OF BUTTON OR OTHER HOLES," and in what manner
the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement thereof, reference being had to the annexed illustrative
Drawing, (that is to say)
Studs and solitaires such as are used for fastening together parts of various
articles such as gentlemens' shirt wrists, fronts and collars, ladies' garments and
wearing apparel generally, are very liable to be lost through falling out of the
holes, especially when the holes have become enlarged by wear. Moreover the
studs or parts of them when made in parts, are apt to leave the holes in one part
of a garment when it is attempted to pass the other part of the garment over the
knob or end of the stud.-Now my Invention has for object to guard more
effectually than has heretofore been usual, the stud whilst in use, and also in the
caso of studs made in parts, the bearing up or keeping that part which is first
placed in the garment, in proper position for receiving upon it the other part of
such garment, and the corresponding part of the stud. For this purpose I apply a
cover to the hole in which a stud is to be inserted, this cover is made of any
suitable material, or conveniently it may be a piece of tape. It is secured at two
or more sides to the garment, leaving one or two sides open for the insertion of the
stud or part of a stud, which when in its place is thus bridged over by the said
piece of tape or fabric, thus the shank of the stud when in parts is kept protruding
through the garment in a suitable position to receive the corresponding part thereof
and the other part of the stud.
When changing garments for washing or other purpose, the studs can be easily
removed therefrom.
In the Drawing, Figure 1, is a section and Figure 2, an elevation at right angles
thereto, A, B, are two parts of a garment, each having through it a button or other
hole, C, is a bridge or cover of tape or other like material, which in this case is
secured to the part B, of the garment by sewing or otherwise at C₁, C³,-D, is part
of a stud that has been passed in between the bridge or cover C, and the part B.

page_text: The shank of the stud having been passed in through the hole in B, the part A, has
then been passed over the shank which is now ready to receive the second part D³,
of the stud.
Having now particulary 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 the use of a cover or bridging piece such as hereinbefore, described, across
the hole intended for the reception of a stud, the sbank of a stud or like article,
Buch cover or bridging piece being secured at two or more of its sides or ends in
proximity to the said hole, as and for the purpose specified with reference to the
Drawing.
