PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with the Carding of Studs or other
similar Articles.
I THOMAS MORTON, of 405 Lodge Road, in the City of Birmingham, Stamper
and Piercer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
This invention relates to improvements in or connected with the carding of studs
or other similar small articles and refers more particularly to the clip or holder
which carries the said articles, and to the manner and means by which such clip is
secured to the card.
At present clips or holders are made of wire or of sheet metal, of a springy
character, for the purpose of carrying such articles as studs &c., and then are
stitched to the card, or prongs-upon the holder which are passed through the
card, are turned down upon the rear side of the card.
In my invention, I provide the said clip preferably out of sheet metal having a
springy throat or gap into which the neck or shank of the stud may be passed with
a springy click. This part of the clip stands forward from the base to allow of the
stud back passing between it and the card. In the base of the clip, I make a
hole which coincides in shape and size to a tubular rivet, which latter consists as
follows: This tubular rivet is stamped from a piece of sheet metal so as to form
a base having an all around rim, and a length of body having a closed or
solid end.
A hole is pierced in the card, the rivet is passed through from the rear, and the
clip placed thereon, when by suitable tools the requisite pressure is brought to bear
upon the solid end of the rivet, which is thereby pressed down and spread out thus
securely fixing the clip, in a neat yet firm manner.
If desired more than one of such clips may be made in one piece around one
central rivet, or a number of separate clips whose bases may be placed one upon the
other may be similarly secured by one and the same rivet.
Dated this 25th day of March 1895.

Improvements in or connected with the Carding of Studs or other
similar Articles.
I THOMAS MORTON, of 405 Lodge Road, in the City of Birmingham, Stamper
and Piercer, do bereby 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 improvements in or connected with the carding of studs
or other similar small articles, and refers more particularly to the manner and
means by which the clip or holder which carries the said articles, is secured to
the card.

page_text: At present clips or holders are made of wire or of sheet metal, of a springy
character, for the purpose of carrying such articles as studs &c., and then are
stitched to the card, or prongs-upon the holder which are passed through the card
-are turned down upon the rear side of the card.
I will proceed to describe my invention, by the aid of the accompanying
drawings, upon which are figures and numbers of reference, similar numbers
referring throughout the several views to the same thing or part.
Fig. 1, shows a front view of the clip.
Fig. 2, is a side view of the same.
Fig. 3, shows a plan view of blank from which I form the tubular rivet.
Fig. 4, shows a front view of the tubular rivet.
Fig. 5, is a sectional view of tubular rivet.
Fig. 6, is a sectional view, showing the clip or holder secured to the card by
tubular rivet.
1 provide the said clip 7, preferably out of sheet metal having a springy throat
or gap 9, into which the neck or shank of the stud may be passed with a springy
click. This part 10, of the clip stands forward from the base 11, to allow of the
stud back passing between it and the card 12. In the base of the clip, I make a
hole 13, which coincides in shape and size to a tubular rivet 14, which latter
consists as follows:-This tubular rivet 14, is stamped from a piece of sheet
metal 15, as shown in Fig. 3, so as to form a base 16, having an all around rim, and
a length of body 17, having a closed or solid end 18.
A hole is pierced in the card, the rivet 14, is passed through from the rear, and
the clip 7, placed thereon, when by suitable tools the requisite pressure is brought
to bear upon the solid end 18, of the rivet, which is thereby pressed down and
spread out as seen at 19, in Fig. 5, thus securely fixing the clip 7, in a neat yet
firm manner.
If desired more than one of such clips may be made in one piece around one
-central rivet, or a number of separate clips whose bases may be placed one upon
the other may be similarly secured by one and the same rivet.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
'I claim is :—
The attachment of clips or holders for displaying studs or other similar articles,
to cards, by means of a tubular rivet 14, having rim 16, and closed end 18,
substantially as set forth and shown.
