We JOHN COMPTON WEEKS JEFFERYS of 19 Hargrave Park Road Holloway
Manufacturers Agent, and WILLIAM HENRY PALMER of 3 Freemans Court Hone
Lane Market Cheapside in the city of London Garter Maker do hereby declare the
nature of the said invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN FASTENINGS OR IN CLASPS FOR
GARTERS, THROAT STRAPS, GLOVES AND SUCH LIKE PURPOSES to be as follows:-
This invention relates to certain improvements in fastenings or in clasps for
garters throat straps gloves and such like purposes.
-
In carrying this invention into effect two plates are used attached or attachable
in suitable manner to opposite ends of the strap or opposite sides of the article to
be fastened. Upon one of the said two plates there is provided a stud with a head
of desired form round, oval, or it may be square; and in the other of the two plates
is provided a "bayonet hole" and there is also provided on said plate another plate
alidable upon the said plate with the bayonet hole, and the movable plate has a
piercing therein corresponding in size and shape to the head of the stud of the one
portion of the clasp and to the larger portion of the bayonet slot. A spring may
be applied between and acting upon the slidable plate and that upon which it is
secured and acts to lock or give a pressure between the parts, and security when
the clasp is fastened.
When the parts are to be brought together and fastened the head of the stud of
the one portion of the clasp is to be introduced into the larger opening of the
bayonet fastening and also into and be passed through the piercing of the slidable
plate, the shank portion of the stud will then be run into the smaller portion of the
'bayonet hole and will carry with it the slidable plate so covering the larger
portion of the bayonet hole by a portion of the slidable plate and effectually
forming a secure fastening.

JOHN COMPTON WEEKS JEFFERYS of 19 Hargrave Park Road, Holloway, Manu-
facturers Agent and WILLIAM HENRY PALMER of 3 Freemans Court, Honey Lane
Market Cheapside, Garter Maker, 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:—
This Invention relates to certain improvements in fastenings or in clasps for
garters, throat straps gloves and such like purposes.
.
In carrying this Invention into effect two plates are used attached or attachable
in suitable manner to opposite ends of the strap or opposite sides of the article to
be fastened.
Upon one of the said two plates there is provided a stud with a head of desired
form, round, oval, or it may be square, and in the other of the two plates is
provided a "bayonet-hole" and there is also provided on said plate another plate
slidable upon the said plate with the bayonet-hole and the slidable plate has a piercing
therein corresponding in size and shape to the head of the stud of the one portion
of the clasp and to the larger portion of the bayonet hole.
A spring may be applied between and acting upon the slidable plate and that
upon which it is secured and act to lock or give a pressure between the parts and
security when the clasp is fastened.
When the parts are to be brought together and fastened the head of the stud of
the one portion of the clasp is to be introduced into the larger opening of the
bayonet-hole and also into and be passed through the piercing of the slidable plate
the shank portion of the stud will then be run into the smaller portion of the
bayonet-hole" and will carry with it the slidable plate so covering the larger
portion of the "bayonet-hole" by a portion of the slidable plate and effectually
forming a secure fastening.

In the drawings annexed hereto :-Figs. 1 to 4 represent the lower portion or
plate of a clasp constructed according to this Invention; Fig. 1 being a plan with
the head of the stud removed and its pillar in section; Fig. 2 is a like view with
head of stud on; Fig. 3 a view end on of Fig. 2; Fig. 4, is like view to Fig. 1,
with the sliding shank of the stud pillar in its locked position; Fig. 5 is plan of
the upper portion or plate of the clasp; Fig. 6 represents the parts in crosswise
position, relatively to each other for inserting the stud in the slot of the plate,
Fig. 5, when putting the clasp together. The closed and locked position of plate
Fig. 5, is indicated in Fig. 6, in dotted lines.
The lower plate a, of the clasp carries the shank b, and stud c, and a second
plate a¹, The plate a¹, has a bayonet shaped slot or dwell a', therein. The shank
of the stud c, has a sliding plate or piece d, thereon. e, is a spring acting upon
the sliding piece d, to hold the same into the narrow portion or neck of the
bayonet hole.
The plate f, Fig. 5, has the hole g, therein for passing on to stud c.

page_text: The bars h, will serve for attachment of the webbing of the brace, garter or such
like, and said bars may have rollers thereon if desired. For gloves or other
articles any convenient and known form of attachment of the plate thereto may be
adopted.
In applying the two parts of the clasp, in fastening, the hole g, or plate f. Fig. 5
is passed onto the stud c, from the position shown in Fig. 6, and is then turned
into the parallel position indicated by the dotted lines of that figure. In so doing
the sliding piece d, of the stud will be turned by the sides of the hole g, and the
plate f, will slide upon plate a¹, so bringing the piece d, of the stud c, down into
the neck of the bayonet hole a³, and so securely lock the same. In unlocking the
parts the plate g, will be made to slide on plate a', so bringing the shank back into
the wider portion of the bayonet hole and unlocking the same for separation of
the parts.
The construction of this stud of the clasp forms in itself a solitaire or stud as is
specified for under prior Letters Patent N° 7574 dated 22nd June 1885, the com-
bination hereunder being the neck of the bayonet hole allowing for the sliding and
locking of the plate as hereinbefore described.
Figs. 7, 7a and 8 represent a modification of construction; Fig. 7, being top view
of the upper plate of the clasp, Fig. 7, a section and Fig. 8, under view of Fig. 7
Fig. 9 are details of parts of Figs. 7, 7", and 8.
Fig. 10 is the lower plate in plan.
Fig. 11 shows the two plates of the clasp in locked position.
In this construction the upper plate of the clasp carries the spring plate e, which
is attached slidable on the plate having the bayonet-hole a, therein said attach-
ment being effected by the luga i of the pierced plate k, The lugs i, are stamped
up and pass through long slots l, of the bayonet hole plate, and then pass through
slots m, of the spring plate, over which plate the ends of said lugs i, are turned
down as shown in Fig. 7. The holes n, o, of the plates e, k, correspond to the shape
of the head of the stud c Fig. 10. The two parts of the clasp are brought together
similarly as described for Fig. 6.
Figs. 12 and 13, are plan views of the upper and lower plates respectively of a
clasp showing a construction wherein the parts correspond to those last before
described; in this case the stud c, will be introduced directly into the holes n, o,
and the larger part of the bayonet-hole and then will be drawn back along with the
slidable spring and flat plates ek so that the shank of stud c, will occupy its locked
position in the neck of the bayonet hole. This form of the clasp is convenient for
gloves garters or such like small articles.
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
we claim is :-
The clasp fastening with the plates and the bayonet-hole, spring and stud e with
the locking device constructed and operating as herein set forth and shown by the
drawings in Figs. 1 to 6; 7 to 11; and 12 and 13, respectively.
