PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Solitaires, Studs, Sleeve-links, or Buttons and
other like articles.
I LUCIEN NICOLAS STAIGER 45 Rue Saint Sebastien, Paris, in the Republic
of France, Jeweller, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in solitaires, studs, sleeve-links or buttons
and other like articles providing them with a means of fastening, which may be
termed bayonet fastening, whereby they are applied with the greatest facility to
cuffs, collars shirt fronts etc. in such a manner that they cannot become detached
from any cause other than an intentional unfastening.
This device is in two parts :-the body or front part and the socket or back part
which may be securely united by penetration and rotation.
The back part of the stud, of any suitable shape, dimensions and material,
comprises a socket having an inner flange in which are made two indentations
notches or recesses, one of them opening to the outside the other forming an inner
seating. A spring placed in this socket bears against its bottom and on its internal
flange.
The body of the stud, also of any suitable shape dimensions and material,
possesses a stem having a small radial tenon leaving between it and the body a
space about equal to the depth of the internal flange of the socket of the back part.
The placing of a stud thus made is effected in the following manner :-
The socket is first passed into the button holes the stem is then entered with
slight pressure to compress the spring. This done a slight rotation is given to the
body, so that the tenon faces the notch or recess opening to the outside, and enters
it under the pressure exercised; in continuing the turning, but now without pressure,
this tenon meets the other notch or recess forming inner seating and lodges therein,
to remain there under the action of the spring.
The stud is thus securely and immovably fixed until pressure is exercised upon the
body, to compress the spring, and it is turned to disengage the tenon from the last
entered notch; continuing the rotation, this tenon comes in front of the other notch
and the spring causes the stem to leave the socket which may then be removed from
the button holes.
Such is the method of using this stud arrangement which I may make of every
suitable shape and in any kind of metal, precious or not.

I LUCIEN NICOLAS STAIGER 45 Rue Saint Sébastien, Paris, in the Republic
of France, Jeweller, 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:-

buttons and other like articles providing them with a means of fastening which

This device is in two parts: the body or front part and the socket or back part
which may be securely united by penetration and rotation.
Its arrangement and use will be understood from the following description with
reference to the accompanying drawing illustrating specimen by way of example.
DESCRIPTION.
Figure 1 is a section of the back part or socket of my improved stud ;
Figure 2 is a plan of this back part seen from its inner face;
Figure 3 is a perspective view thereof;
Figure 4 shows an elevation of the body;
Figure 5 represents in section the whole of the stud at the moment of joining the
two parts;
Figure 6 represents in same view, the two parts of the stud joined together.
As may be seen at Figures 1, 2 and 3, the back part A of the stud, of any
suitable shape, dimensions and material, comprises a socket a having an inner
flange in which are made two indentations notches or recesses, b and c one of them
opening to the outside the other forming an inner seating. A spring r placed in
this socket bears against the bottom of the socket towards the part A. and on the
internal flange of the socket.
The body B of the stud, also of any suitable shape dimensions and material,
possesses (see Figure 4) a stem d having a small radial tenon e leaving between it
and the body a space about equal to the depth of the internal flange of the socket a
of the back part.
The placing of a stud thus made is effected in the following manner :-
The socket a is first passed into the button holes (see Figure 5) the stem d is
then entered with slight pressure to compress the spring. This done a slight
rotation is given to the body, so that the tenon faces the notch or recess b and
enters it under the pressure exercised; in continuing the turning, but now without
pressure, this tenon meets the other notch or recess forming inner seating e and
lodges therein, (Figure 6) to remain there under the action of the spring r.
The stud is thus securely and immovably fixed until pressure is exercised upon
the body, to compress the spring, and it is turned to disengage the tenon from the
last entered notch e; containing the rotation, this tenon comes in front of the other
notch and the spring causes the stem to leave the socket which may then be
removed from the button holes.
Such is the method of using this stud arrangement which I may make of every
suitable shape and in any kind of metal, precious or not.
I need scarce observe that this method may be applied to every kind of use,
sleeves, collars, fronts of shirts etc.
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 :-
"
The system of solitaires, studs buttons and other like articles termed "ba onet
studs above described and which is characterised by the combination of a
socket a with inner flange and notches or recesses b and c appertaining to the back
part A, and of a stem d with tenon e, appertaining to the body B, these two parts
permitting the putting together and placing of the stud or other article 'n the
manner and with the object set forth with reference to the accompanying drawing.
