PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Device for Holding or Retaining Cuffs in Any
Desired Position within the Coat Sleeve.
I, FREDERICK GEORGE GIBBS, of 61, Harrington Gardens, Kensington,
London, S.W. Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to a new or improved device for holding or retaining cuffs
in any desired position and has for its object to provide means whereby cuffs may
be attached to the coat sleeve and adjusted so as to leave any desired amount of
cuff projecting beyond the sleeve, at the same time preventing the cuff from
shifting about.
In carrying my invention into practice I provide a stud similar to those of
ordinary construction, connected to or formed integrally with the device for
securing same to the lining of the coat sleeve, this latter part may be constructed
with a plain top having the aforementioned stud attached thereto and furnished
underneath with one or two pins or arms which are hinged at one end, the other
end or ends being pointed are passed through the lining of the coat sleeve and
enter a guard or shield formed at the other end of the device somewhat after the
manner of an ordinary brooch. When two pins are employed they are released
from the guard or shield by pressing same together when they can be removed from
the lining of the coat sleeve, but in the case of one pin only being used it would
be operated in a similar manner to an ordinary safety pin.
Where the cuff is furnished with button holes at the end of same or with a tab
provided with a button hole (which is usual with cuffs of ordinary make) the stud
portion of the device is passed through same, but for preference the top of the cuff
should be furnished with a button hole through which the stud may be passed
so that the arm is not liable to press against same when leaning against a table or
the like for writing purposes &c.
I do not restrict myself to materials dimensions or to the precise form of my
improved device.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Device for Holding or Retaining Cuffs in Any
Desired Position within the Coat Sleeve.
I, FREDERICK GEORGE GIBBS, of 61, Harrington Gardens, Kensington,
London, S. W. Gentleman, 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 new or improved device for holding or retaining cuffs
in any desired position and has for its object to provide means whereby cuffs may
be attached to the coat sleeve and adjusted so as to leave any desired amount of
the cuff projecting beyond the sleeve, at the same time preventing the cuff from
shifting about.
In carrying my invention into practical effect, I provide a stud similar to those
of ordinary construction connected or formed integrally with the device for securing

page_text: same to the lining of the coat sleeve, this latter part may be constructed with a
plain top having the aforementioned stud attached thereto and furnished under-
neath with one or two pins or arms which are hinged at one end the other end or
ends being pointed are passed through the lining of the coat sleeve and enter a
guard or shield formed at the other end of the device somewhat after the manner
of an ordinary brooch. When two pins are employed they are released from the
guard or shield by pressing same together when they can be removed from the
lining of the coat sleeve, but in the case of one pin only being used it would be
operated in a similar manner to an ordinary safety pin.
Where the cuff is furnished with button-holes at the end of same or with a tab
provided with a buttonhole (which is usual with cuffs of ordinary make) the stud
portion of the device is passed through same, but for preference the top of the cuff
is furnished with a button-hole through which the stud may be passed so that the
arm is not liable to press against same when leaning against a table or the like when
writing &c.
In order that my invention may be more fully understood, I will now proceed to
describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 shows one form of my new or improved device in underside view, side
view, and plan,
Fig. 2 being similar views of another form,
Fig. 3 shows a third form in underside and side view and
Fig. 4 is a side view of a fourth form.
The device as shown in Fig. 1 consists of the stud s mounted in any suitable
manner upon the securing device which is formed out of a plain strip of sheet
metal or other suitable material bent round at each end, and to one end of which
are hinged the pins p p² at h the said pins being passed through the lining of a
coat sleeve, the points then entering the guards g g which are formed out of the
small lugs left on the blanks and which are then bent over to form the guards,
and the device can then be removed from the coat sleeve in the ordinary manner.
The form shown in Fig. 2 is very similar to that shown in Fig. 1 the studs being
attached to the securing device in any suitable manner, the said device in this case
being constructed of the two wires w which are bent under at both ends, the longer
ends being pointed and forming the pins ppl while to the shorter ends is soldered
the guard to protect the points of the pins p p the said pins being released by
pressing them together when they are freed and can be removed from the coat
sleeve.
The device as shown at Fig. 3 consists of a plain flat top t to which the stud sis
attached in any suitable manner, the pin p being hinged at one end h and entering
a loop or eye e at the other in a similar manner to an ordinary brooch pin, while
the device shown at Fig. 4 is formed out of one piece of wire w to the top of which
is secured the stud s, one end of the wire being bent under as shown to form the
pin p while the other is bent into a loop b to act as a guard for the point of the
said pin.
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:
The new or improved device for holding or retaining cuffs in any desired position
within the coat sleeve, and the modified forms thereof substantially as herein
described and shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3 & 4 of the accompanying drawings.
