COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Shirt or Collar Stud and Tie Holder.
I THOMAS HESKETH BIGGS of Rangoon, Burma, Comptroller do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to bc
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
The object of this invention is to combine with a shirt or collar stud a device
for holding a tie or cravat in a desired position thereon or in relation thereto. To
this end the invention consists in a stud resembling in its general nature studs at
present in use for fastening shirts or collars having across the top or head thereof a
brooch or fastening similar to a socalled safety pin the back being attached to the
stud. By passing the pin through the back of the tie or cravat at the desired place
and fastening the pin, the tic or cravat is correctly held in place.
The brooch or pin may be attached to the stud head rigidly or by a spring clip
or holder so that it may be removed therefrom with the tie or otherwise.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the invention.
Fig. 1 is an elevation and Fig. 2 a plan view of the improved combined stud and
tie holder.
Fig. 3 is a front view showing the stud as used for a shirt stud or inserted in
a stud-hole in the front part of the shirt and in position to receive the tie.
Fig. 4. is a side view showing the tie fixed to the stud.
A is the stud having on its head the safety pin or brooch B as shown. The
pin b is intended to be passed through the back or underside of the tie C and be
secured by passing the point under the fastener . For some ties the stud may be
used as a collar stud it is preferable however to make the pin B removable in this
case so that it may be attached to the stud after the latter has been inserted.

tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
