PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Collar Stud and Tie Clip.
I, JAMES GEORGE BROWN Hairdresser of High Street Tooting in the County
of Surrey do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to a combined stud and tie clip and consists in forming a
stud with a hollow shank and a concave box while the head of the same is formed
of two parts serrated on their inner central edges where they meet, and hinged at
their outer ends upon the upper edge of the shank. A spindle is inserted through
the hollow shank and terminates outside with a small knob; it is held in the
shank in any suitable manner and acts at the top upon a spring blade in such a
manner that on pressing the knob aforesaid the two serrated parts are pushed out
while under the antagonistic tension of the above mentioned spring which will
cause them to return to their former position as soon as the pressure on the knob is
withdrawn. When inserted through a button hole either in front or at the back of
the neck or collar band of a shirt these parts will grip on their return motion a
part of the back of the tie or scarf between their central serrated edges, and will
thus hold the tie or scarf securely in position.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Collar Stud and Tie Clip.
I, JAMES GEORGE BROWN of High Street, Tooting, in the County of Surrey,
Hairdresser, 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 a combined stud and scarf or tie clip, and has for its
object to utilize the head of a stud for the purpose of making a tie clip thereof.
In the accompanying drawings
Figure 1 is an elevation of the stud with its head closed ready for insertion
through the button hole.
Figure 2 is a central vertical section thereof.
Figure 3 is an elevation of the stud after insertion through the button hole with
its head open ready to be fixed to the back of a scarf or tie.
S is, so far as its external appearance is concerned, an ordinary stud, but
otherwise it is hollow, while its under surface is movable and its head is formed
of two parts a and b hinged at f and the edges of which are serrated, as clearly
shown in Figures 1, 3, and 4. A central upright rod or pin c is fixed inside the
stud S to the movable plate (Figure 2) and is terminated by a hook d engaging
with a small ring e soldered to the part b. The spiral spring g is coiled, upon the
pin e and has one end bearing against the base of the stud S while the other bears
against a shoulder formed within the shank of the said stud. After the stud has
been inserted in the ordinary manner in one of the button holes of a shirt the
plate is pressed by the wearer's thumb, and the part b is separated from the
part a, the stud assuming the position shown in Figure 3, in which it is made to
seize a fold of the back of the scarf or tie in order to secure the latter in
position.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :
1. The utilization of the head of a stud as a scarf or tie clip substantially as
herein described and shown and for the purpose set forth.
2. The combined collar stud and tie clip arranged and constructed substantially
as herein described and shown in Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the accompanying
drawings and for the purpose set forth."
