This invention is an improvement in sleeve links-it consists of two pieces of
metal as one shown in Fig. 3 which can be stamped out of flat metal or other
material or bent to the required shape out of wire, then riveted together at the
point marked "A" in Fig. 3 so that they may revolve either way forming a
connection between the two pieces of metal or other material marked C" in
Fig. 2 hereinafter referred to as buttons, said buttons being made to revolve upon
axis marked "B" in Fig. 3. The buttons can be made of any shape or size &
the connections to fit. Insertion in the cuff is effected by bringing the buttons
into a level position with each other as in Fig. 1 then secured by moving them
into a parallel position outside the buttonhole as shown in Fig. 2. The con-
nection will then adjust itself according to position of cuff. This method of
fastening may be adopted for solitaires or studs.

JOHN HUBERT PIRONGS and CHARLES JOSEPH KLAPKA, Jewellery Manufacturers
and Importers, of 39, Noble Street, E.C., 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:-
It consists of two studs or buttons which can be made of metal or other mat-
erial and of any shape which are connected by means of links joined in the
centre, said links passing right through the thickness of buttons at each side of
same or they may be hooked in only.
These links or connections as drawn in Figure 2 may be stamped out of metal
or made from wire and may be made in any shape according to the shape of
button, they are rivetted hinged or otherwise joined in the centre at the point
marked A in such manner as to permit of them moving in either direction when
buttons have been inserted in the cuff. The buttons are made with an opening
in the middle of each side of same which may go right through said buttons or
D

page_text: only partially into which opening are inserted the links or connections which
may either be hooked into or pass right through said opening.
The buttons or studs are connected by links from the side in order that they
may revolve on the said links and offer no projection or obstacles when being
passed through buttonhole of cuff and the links or connections are jointed in
the centre in order that when in the cuff the links being mobile, "allow the
button to lie evenly against the surface of the cuff.
Figure 1 in drawing represents complete view of buttons & connections or
links.
Figure 2 represents one section of link two of which joined in the centre as
in complete' view in Figure 1 forms the connection between buttons or studs.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that
what we claim is:-
The combination of connecting buttons or studs from the sides together with
the joining of links or connections by rivet hinge or other means in such manner
as to allow buttons or studs to adjust themselves to position of cuff after insertion.
