is an elastic or wire spring, at the opposite end is a head which fits on to the
point of the said pin thereby securing the veil thereon, it may take any plain
or ornamental form and be made in any suitable material, all substantially as
described and set forth.
2. The combination of parts forming a clasp for ladies' veils for securing the
veils under the chin thereby preventing them becoming entangled with the
brooch or other ornaments, constructed substantially as described and illustrated
