An Improvement in Lacing Studs.
Year: 1899

page_text: I, JULES ALPHONSE THIERRY, of 138, Bramley Road, North Kensington, in
the County of London, Eyelet Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to the manufacture of lacing studs having their heads
covered with celluloid which may be variously coloured. The chief object of
my invention is to ensure the firm fixing of the celluloid on the metal as I
shall describe referring to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a side view, full size, of a hook according to my invention.
Fig. 2 is a vertical section to an enlarged scale.
The metallic part of the stud consisting of the eyelet a, the eccentric circular
stem and the head c, is of well known kind, many of these having been coated
with varnish, japan, or other materials. Such coating is objectionable as it is
apt to break or wear off in patches shewing the metal.
Now according to my invention I provide two discs of celluloid sheet, the
one disc d to cover the circular head c, the other disc e to cover the underside
of the head.
In order to put the disc e in position, I make an eccentric hole through it to
fit the upper part of the stem band cut a slit from the hole, so that, by some-
what bending the parts on each side of the slit I can pass the disc into its place.
I then moisten the edges of the two discs with solvent and press them together
causing them to unite forming one piece enclosing the head c between them, so
that they are firmly fixed in position.

fication.
Fig. 1 is a side view, full size, of a hook according to my invention. Fig. 2
is a vertical section to an enlarged scale.
The metallic part of the stud consisting of the eyelet a, the eccentric circular
stem and the head c, is of well known kind, many of these having been coated
with varnish, japan, or other materials. Such coating is objectionable as it is
apt to break or wear off in patches shewing the metal.
Now according to my invention I provide two discs of celluloid sheet, the
one disc d to cover the circular head c, the other disc e to cover the underside
of the head.
In order to put the disc e in position, I make an eccentric hole through it to
fit the upper part of the stem b and cut a slit from the hole, so that, by some-
what bending the parts on each side of the slit I can pass the disc into its place.
I then moisten the edges of the two discs with solvent and press them together
causing them to unite forming one piece enclosing the head c between them, so
that they are firmly fixed in position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
A lacing stud having its head covered with celluloid secured thereon,,substan-
tially as described.
