Complete Specification Left, 2nd Apr. 1891-Accepted, 2nd May, 1891
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Regulative Stud or Dress Fastening.
I, WILLIAM TOWNSEND, of No. 5 Falcon Street, Aldersgate Street, in the
County of London, Manufacturer of Fancy Goods, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a new or improved regulative stud or dress fastening
applicable to collars cuffs and similar articles.
At present, much inconvenience is occasioned to wearers of the ordinary collar
studs now in use, by the inner edge thereof frequently nipping or pinching the
wearer's neck.
Now, the object of my invention is to provide a stud which will entirely obviate this
discomfort, by making efficient provision for regulating the length of the socket or
shank of such stud in respect of the combined or joint thickness of the parts of the
articles of wearing apparel to which my invention is specially applicable.
Accordingly, I make or form my improved stud of gold or silver or other metal,
or ivory or bone or other suitable material, in two parts; the socket or shank of its
head or face being so adapted as to screw into or over the socket or shank of its
back or base; both parts, at the same time, being inseparable.
And in order that such two parts may not become detached, I provide a suitable
detent to receive and hold the adjusting screw threads of the head socket or shank
of the stud.
Dated this 3rd day of July 1890.
WILLIAM TOWNSEND,
Applicant.
