PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Fastening Gloves and other similar Articles.
I, TOM BAINES Jr. of 75 Fairfax Road South Hampstead Letterpress Printer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
The improvement I claim is the means I take to fasten the two sides of the
glove when in wear and is as follows:-Two round headed studs are fastened
perpendicularly on a thin plate at such a distance apart that the space between the
two stud heads will admit, with a slight pressure, the shank or stem of another
round headed stud, horizontally.
The plate with two perpendicular studs is fastened on one flap or side of the
glove, and the horizontal stud is fastened on the other flap or side of the glove.
When the two flaps or sides are brought together, and the horizontal stud stem is
pushed between the two perpendicular stud heads the glove is securely fastened as
the head of the horizontal stud cannot draw out between the perpendicular studs.
Dated this 29th day of September 1893.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Fastening Gloves and other similar Articles.
I, TOM BAINES Junior, of 75, Fairfax Road, South Hampstead, in the County
of London, Letter-press Printer, 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 :-
My invention relates to improvements in fasteners for gloves and other articles.
My improved fastener has two parts which are adapted to be secured to the two
edges to be fastened, and one part of my fastener has two round headed studs
secured to a thin plate, the said studs being placed at such a distance apart that a
shank or stem having a round head and constituting the other part of my fastener
shall pass between the said two studs.
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawing, in which :-
Figure 1 is a plan view representing my fastener applied to material the two
edges of which are to be fastened; and,
Figures 2 and 3 are sections on the lines 2-2 and 3-3 respectively of Figure 1:
Figures 4 and 5 represent the two parts of the fastener separated: and,
Figures 6 and 7 are sections on the lines 6-6 and 7-7 of Figures 4 and 5
respectively:
Figures 8 and 9 are a plan and side elevation of one part of the fastener before
it is applied; and,
Figures 10 and 11 are similar views of the other part of the fastener.
a,
and
b are the two parts of the fastener, the part à having the two studs c, c,
the part 6 the shank d having the head e, the said shank being adapted to enter
between the studs c, c as shewn in Figures 1, 2 and 3 in such a manner that the
said head e acting in conjunction with the studs c, c will prevent the two parts of
the fastener from becoming separated under a strain in a horizontal direction.
In order to release the fastener, the part is lifted from the position shewn in
full lines in Figure 2 to the position indicated by the dotted lines.

page_text: The plate carrying the studs c, c may be of any desirable construction and
adapted to be fixed to the material by any suitable means; also any desirable
means may be employed for enabling the part 6 of the fastener to be attached to
the material. In practice, however, I find it advantageous to make the plate to
which the studs c, c are secured of the shape shewn in Figure 8, the said plate
having the part to which the studs are attached made as light as possible so as
to be practically covered by the part of the fastener when the two parts are
connected and also having a part g, which forms a back plate, formed integral
therewith, the said part 9 having in it an opening into which, when the said
back plate is bent under the material, a tongue i on the part f can be introduced
and bent over as shewn most clearly in Figures 2, 3, 4 and 6. The part of the
fastener is advantageously formed with a cross-bar; which is enclosed in the edge
of the material, as shewn in Figures 2, 5 and 7.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
-claim is :-
1. A fastener for gloves and other articles, one part of which fastener is com-
posed of two round headed studs fixed to a metal plate and the other of a shank
having a round head and adapted to be passed between the studs of the first.
mentioned part of the fastener, substantially as described.
2. The manufacture and use of fasteners for gloves and other articles substan-
tially as hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
