Improvements in or connected with Settings or Fixings for
Ornamental Stones, Pearls, and the like, for Facilitating
their Attachment to Articles of Ladies' Dress and the like.
I, NUTA MANAS SEIDLITZ, of 17 Rembrandtplein, Baarn in the Netherlands,
Manufacturer, 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:-
This invention refers to a new or improved setting or fixing especially adapted
for fastening or securing ornamental stones, pearls, and the like upon lace, fabric,
or other materials, such for example as articles of ladies' dress, thereby rendering
the use of a needle unnecessary for such purpose.
According to my invention I provide pins standing out at the back of the setting,
such pins being passed through the fabrics or materials which are to be decorated
with the ornamental stones, and then the pins are bent together or so bent that
their points meet each other and hold the threads of the material as if they were
fastened in an eyelet. The setting and projecting pins preferably consist of one
piece and are advantageously manufactured by stamping.
This invention will be fully understood by the following description having
reference to the accompanying drawings on which
Fig. 1 shews an empty setting in section.
Fig. 2 the setting with ornamental stone, also in section.
Fig. 3 shews the setting, illustrating the manner of its fastening to a material,
such as tulle, lace, and the like.
Fig. 4 represents part of a design to be fastened upon lace fabrics and the like,
shewing the manner in which the small ornamental stones or pearls and so forth can
be fastened to an article of toilette for the purpose of its decoration.
The setting a consisting of suitable material, such as silver, forms a small cup,
the upper edge of which has a border round it corresponding in size or shape with
the stone b to be inserted. Upon the smooth back surface of the setting are
several (preferably two) pins c, which may be, upon the stamping of the setting,
pressed out of the same material, and stand out in about a perpendicular direction
from the back surface of the setting. The pins after being stuck through the
material are bent round or bent together into a sort of eyelet in the manner shewn
in Fig. 3, in order, without anything further, to fasten or embrace them firmly and
durably to the material. The length of the pins should be varied in accordance
with the thickness of the material to be decorated. In Fig. 4 the ornamental
stones are distinguished by a small circle. It is obvious that this mode of fastening
the setting may be generally employed, and is not merely applicable to articles of
ladies' dress. Whether the production of the setting is effected by stamping or in
any other manner is a matter of indifference, the distinguishing characteristic of
the setting being that it is formed after the manner of a cup, and together with the
pins, consists only of one piece.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
A setting or fixing for ornamental stones, pearls, and the like, for facilitating
fastening same upon ladies' clothing and other articles or materials, consisting of a
cup a, pins c, at the back of said cup a, such pins being passed through the material

page_text: to be ornamented and then bent round or together to an eyelet, whereby the setting
is securely attached to the material, all substantially as described with reference to
the accompanying drawings.
