I SIMEON CHATTWOOD of 4 and 7 Market Street, Edenfield, near Bury, in the
County of Lancaster, Grocer and Draper, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows
My said invention relates to studs, and buttons principally for application to
articles of clothing
When
For example in the case of collar, shut and cuff studs and solitanes the stud
or the inserted half thereof is apt to diop out and be lost To prevent this I screw
the shank and place thereon a nut washer in addition to the ordinary back
the stud or shank has been inserted into the button hole the material lies between the
back of the stud and the said nut washer The nut washet is then screwed down
so as to bind the material between the back and the wisher, and the stud or the
Го
inserted half is securely held in position so that it cannot drop out or be lost
remove the stud it is only necessary to slacken back the nut washer sufficiently to
permit of the disengagement of the stud or fastener half
Instead of screwing a nut washer on the shank as descubed I might use a
spring catch on the shank alone or as a means for holding down a plain washer
My invention is applicable not only to studs as aforesaid but to buttons for use in
Conjunction with washable or other vests and to boots and the like

Improvements in Studs and Buttons
I SIMON CHATTWOOD of 4 and 7 Market Street, Edenfield, near Bury, in the
County of Lanca ter Grocer and Draper 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 and accompanying
drawings
-

My said invention relates to studs and buttons principally for application to
articles of clothing
For example in the case of collar, shirt, and cuff studs and solitaires, the stud is
apt to drop out and be lost
The object of my invention is to make the stud or fastener in such a manner
tbat it can be locked or secured to the shirt or garment so that it cannot possibly
be lost
To render my invention clearly understood I have annexed hereto a sheet of
illustrative drawings to which I will now refer
Figs 1 and 2 illustrate to an enlarged scale one form of my improved stud
End I

page_text: The
A is the back of the stud B is the shank, and C is the head of the stud
shank B is screwed to receive a washer nut D the said washer nut being screwed
upon the shank in the course of manufacture
In Fig 1 the stud appears separate from the garment
In Fig 2 the part marked E represents the thickness of the material of the shirt
collar-band or other part of the gaiment to which the stud is applied
When the back A has been inserted through the button hole, I screw the
washer nut D closely up against the material E and jamb it between the back
and the washer nut as clearly shown in Fig 2 Thus it is impossible for the stud
to come loose from the garment and loss of the stud is prevented
The projecting
portion of the shank and the head C constitute the button with which the overlapping
portion of the garment engages
To remove the stud it is only necessary to slacken back the washer nut D and
then pull the back out of the button or other hole in the material
In Figs 3, 4 and 5 I show a modification of my invention In this case instead
of having a screwed shank and washer nut as before the shanh B is plain and has
a pin F thrust transversely through it The washer D slides loosely on the
shank B and has radial slits D¹ cut in it from the central hole outwards, as
shown in Fig 5 which slits allow the washer to pass over the pin F When fixing
the stud in position I place the back A through the material and push the washei
forward till it passes the pin after which I turn the washer a quarter round into>
the position shown in Fig 5, in which position the pin bears on the blank part of
the washer and keeps the washer up so as to Jamb the material E between the
washer and the bick
Instead of the transveise pin which I have described projections corresponding
to the pin might be formed on the body of the shank itselt Under another
modification shown in Fig 6 and 7 the means I use to keep the washer Djambed
against the material consists of a spring G extending along the shank B and secured
thereto
In secuing this stud, the washer D is slid along the shank till it piesses upon
the material and the bent or crooked part of the spring G¹ snaps up and holds the
washer so as to firmly bind he material E between the washer and the back
thereby firmly att iching the stud to the garmen To free the stud the washe
may be retracted either by pulling it back or by pressing on the spring G so as t
depress it and allow the washer to be slid back The spring might be a separate
steel spring or as shown mig 8 the shank B itself might constitute a snap sprin
to hold the wisher against the material L
Although I have shown and described several methods of carrying my invention
into effect, I do not confine myself to these so long as studs of this nature are
formed with movable securing washers for binding the stud to the garment or
material
My invention is applicable to all sorts of studs fasteners and buttons whether
for shirts, collars, vests gaiters and the like
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,
(1) In combination with studs or fasteners of the indicated nature a movable
washer such as D mounted on the shauk for the purposes and substantially as
herein before described and shown
(2) The improved stud, fastener or button capable of being readily secured to
or detached from a garment or material and having a screwed shank B and washer
nut D for the purpose and constructed and operating substantially as herein before
des ribed and as illustrated by Figs 1 and 2 of the annexed drawings
(3) The improved attachable and detachable stud fastener or button having a
shank B with transveise studs or projections F and a sliding washer D with slots D'
to allow the washer to pass the said studs or projections, the washer being then

page_text: turned so that the studs or projections hold the washer in position substantially as
hereinbefore described and as shown in Figs 3, 4 and 5
(4) The improved attachable and detachable stud, fasteners or button the shank
of which carries or constitutes a spring so arranged as to hold the slidable washer D
in a position which secures the stud to the garment or material, substantially as
described and as shown in Figs 67, and 8
