Improvements in the Articles called Studs and Solitaires and
Employed for Fastening Collars, Shirts, Cuffs, and other Articles
of Dress, and for other Analogous Purposes.
I WILLIAM WILLIAMS JONES of 22 Bangor Street, Carnarvon in the county of
Carnarvon Watch Maker and Jeweller, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
My invention relates to such of the articles called studs and solitaires and employed
for fastening collars, shirts, cuffs and other articles of dress and for other analogous
purposes as are formed in two parts which are capable of being attached to and
separated from each other when required and consists in arrangements by the
employment of which such studs and solitaires are rendered more convenient in use
than they have hitherto been.
In accomplishing the object of my invention I provide one part of each stud or
solitaire constructed according to my invention with a tube or socket and provide the
other part of the said stud or solitaire with a stem or tube formed upon or in or
attached to which is or are a spring or springs. I form the tube or socket above-
mentioned of an oval or elliptical or other similar section and also form the stem or
tube aforesaid so that it will correspond in section with the said tube or socket in
which when the stud or solitaire is in use, the said stem or tube requires to be inserted.
I form upon or in or secure to the spring or springs above-mentioned catches, pins,
recesses or projections which catches, pins, recesses or projections when the stem or
tube aforesaid is inserted into the tube or socket above-mentioned, pass into or engage
with holes, recesses or projections formed in or upon the said tube or socket.
In order that the stem or tube above-mentioned may be withdrawn when required
from the tube or socket above-referred to, I provide the spring or springs above-
referred to with parts by means of which the catches, pins, recesses or projections
may be readily withdrawn or disengaged from the holes, recesses or projections into
which they enter or with which they engage. The said parts by means of which the
catches, pins, recesses or projections may be readily withdrawn or disengaged from

page_text: the holes, recesses or projections into which they enter or with which they engage may
be formed of any suitable shape or size or may if desired be caused to form a portion
of the ornamental design applied to the stud or solitaire or may in the case of a
"collar-stud" constructed according to my invention act upon the scarf or neck-tie
worn by the wearer of the said collar-stud to retain such scarf or neck-tie in its
place.
I also in some cases employ in addition to the spring or springs above-mentioned, a
spring or springs formed upon or in or secured to the stem or tube above-mentioned,
which spring or springs assists or assist in retaining and steadying the stem or tube
above-referred to when inserted in the socket or tube aforesaid.
Although I have above-referred to the tube or socket above-mentioned as being
formed of an oval or elliptical or other similar section I in some cases form the said
tube or socket of any desired section and in such cases I form the stem or tube
above-mentioned of a section to correspond with the tube or socket into which it is to
be inserted.

page_text: Improvements in the Articles called Studs and Solitaires and
Employed for Fastening Collars, Shirts, Cuffs, and other Articles
of Dress, and for other Analogous Purposes.
I WILLIAM WILLIAMS JONES of 22 Bangor Street Carnarvon in the County of
Carnarvon Watch-Maker and Jeweller 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 invention relates to such of the articles called studs and solitaires and employed
for fastening collars, shirts, cuffs and other articles of dress and for other analogous
purposes as are formed in two parts which are capable of being attached to and
separated from each other when required and consists in arrangements by the
employment of which such studs and solitaires are rendered more convenient in use
than they have hitherto been.
In accomplishing the object of my invention I provide one part of each stud or
solitaire constructed according to my invention with a tube or socket and provide the
other part of the said stud or solitaire with a stem or tube formed upon or in or
attached to which is or are a spring or springs. I form the tube or socket above
mentioned of an oval or elliptical or other similar section and also form the stem or
tube aforesaid so that it will correspond in section with the said tube or socket in
which when the stud or solitaire is in use the said stem or tube required to be inserted.
I form upon or in or secure to the spring or springs above mentioned catches, pins,
or projections which catches, pins, or projections when the stem or tube aforesaid is
inserted into the tube or socket above mentioned pass into or engage with holes recesses
or projections formed in or upon the said tube or socket.
In order that the stem or tube above mentioned may be withdrawn when required
from the tube or socket above referred to I provide the spring or springs above
referred to with parts by means of which the catches, pins, or projections may be
readily withdrawn or disengaged from the holes recesses or projections into which
they enter or with which they engage. The said parts by means of which the catches,
pins, or projections may be readily withdrawn or disengaged from the holes, recesses
or projections into which they enter or with which they engage may be formed of any
suitable shape or size or may if desired be caused to form a portion of the ornamental
design applied to the stud or solitaire or may in the case of a "collar stud" constructed
according to my invention act upon the scarf or neck-tie worn by the wearer of the
said collar-stud to retain such scarf or neck-tie in its place.
In order that my invention may be understood and carried into effect I have here-
unto annexed drawings in which Fig. 1 is a front elevation and Fig. 2 a side view of a
stud or solitaire constructed according to my invention with the parts in the position
in which they are when the stud or solitaire is in use. Fig. 3 is a plan of that which
is shown in clevation in Fig. 1. The stud or solitaire consists of two parts A and B.
Fig. 4 is a front elevation and Fig. 5 a side view of the part A separated from the
part B. Fig. 6 is a front view and Fig. 7 is a side view of the part B separated from
the part A.
I provide the part B of each stud or solitaire constructed according to my invention
with a tube or socket a. I provide the part A of the stud or solitaire with a stem or

page_text: C
tube b, and provide the stem or tube b with a spring c secured to the stem or tube b by
soldering or in any other convenient manner. The upper ends of the spring e pass
through openings d, d formed through opposite sides of the stem or tube b. I form
catches pins or projections e, e upon the spring c which catches, pins or projections e, e
when the stem or tube bis inserted into the tube or socket a pass into or engage with
holes or recesses ff formed in the tube or socket a. In order that the stem or tube b
may be withdrawn when required from the tube or socket a I provide the spring c with
parts g, by means of which the catches, pins or projections e, e may be readily
withdrawn or disengaged from the holes or recesses ff. The parts gg by means of which
the catches, pins or projections e e may be readily withdrawn or disengaged from the holes
or recesses ff into which they enter or with which they engage may be formed of any
suitable shape or size or may if desired be caused to form a portion of the ornamental
design applied to the stud or solitaire.
In some cases instead of employing the spring c I employ in place of such spring c
two springs each of which is provided with a suitable catch pin or projection like the
catches pins or projections ee and with a suitable part like the parts g the said springs
being secured to the stem or tube in connection with which they are employed by
soldering or in any other suitable manner.
In some cases instead of forming the spring c or the springs used in place of the
spring c of a piece or pieces of metal separate from that forming the stem or tube & I
form springs of portions of the metal forming the tube or stem 6 as shown in Figs. 8
and 9. Fig. 8 being a front elevation and Fig. 9 a side view of the part A of a stud
or solitaire constructed according to my invention. In this instance I form the
springs hh of portions of metal partially separated from the stem or tube 6 by
stamping or by cutting or in any other convenient manner. The partially separated
portions of metal are attached at their lower ends to the stem or tube b. The catches
pins or projections jj and the parts k, k may be attached to the springs hh in any
convenient manner or the stem or tube b may originally be formed of a length such
that the springs hh and the parts k k may be formed from a portion of the metal
forming the said stem or tube b, the stem or tube 6 being subsequently cut to the length
requisite for use in the construction of a stud or solitaire.
A stud or solitaire constructed according to my invention is more convenient in use
than the studs or solitaires hitherto constructed and a stud or solitaire constructed
according to my invention is capable of being made with fronts or heads of
less bulk than the fronts or heads of such studs or solitaires as have heretofore
been made in two parts capable of being attached to and separated from each other
when required.
my
said Invention
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is:
1. In each of the articles called studs or solitaires the combination of parts
consisting in a stem or tube such as band spring such as c or springs used in place of
the said spring c, provided with catches pins or projections ee and parts 9, 9 all
