Improvements in or connected with Collar Studs and the like.
I, ERNEST ALEXANDER BEAUMONT, of Queen Street, Huddersfield, in the
County of York, Chartered Accountant, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
The object of this intention is to construct collar studs and the like, in such a
manner that they may be readily and efficiently fastened in position, whilst at
the same time they may be disengaged with equal facility.
According to my invention, I employ a circular or other convenient piece for
the back of the stud, to which back piece I firmly attach a shank having one or
two of its sides flattened and preferably of somewhat oblong section. A head of
semicircular or other elongated form, is provided on the end of the shank, the
projecting sides of the said head projecting from the flattened sides of the shank.
The form of the head enables same to be readily inserted in the button hole,
and on the stud being moved a quarter turn, the projecting points of the head are
brought over the sides of the button hole thus firmly fastening same, whilst the
flattened form of the shank effectually prevents the stud turning in the button
Lcle.

Improvements in or connected with Collar Studs and the like.
I, ERNEST ALEXANDER BEAUMONT, of 28 Queen Street, Huddersfield, in the
County of York, Chartered Accountant, 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:-
The object of this invention is to construct collar and like studs, in such a
manner that they may be readily and efficiently fastened in position, whilst at
the same time they may be disengaged with equal facility.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood I will proceed to describe
same with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which similar letters refer
to like parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a stud constructed according to my invention,
and Figure 2 is a sectional plan taken on the line 7, Y of Figure 1. Figure 3 is
a plan of the stud.
A is a circular or other convenient piece which forms the back of the stud,

page_text: and B is a shank having two of its sides flattened as seen at Figure 2. C is the
head of the stud which is of elongated form, having points or projecting parts C¹
on same, and the long axis of the said head C is situated at right angles to the
long diameter of the shank B. The head C is carried on the extremity of the
shank B in such a manner that the side B of the shank forms a continuous line
with the upper surface of the head C, and the latter projects a short distance at
the opposite end of the larger diameter of the shank B, whilst its points C project
to a greater extent at the sides of the said shank B, as seen at Figures 3.
The form of the head C enables it to be readily inserted in the button hole, and
on the stud being moved a quarter turn, the flat sides of the shank are brought
into line with the straight sides of the button hole, thus effectually preventing
the stud turning, whilst the projecting points C₁ being brought over the sides of
the button hole, the collar is held firmly in position until the stud is again given
a quarter turn when it is required to release same. If desired the shank may be
made of triangular form, or any form having flat sides and the head may be of
circular or other convenient form so long as it is mounted at the side of the
shank.
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. A stud having a flat shank carrying a head at the side of same, substantially
as and for the purposes set forth.
2. The base piece A, shank B, and head C, substantially as described with
reference to Figures 1, 2 and 3 of the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 5th day of August 1897.
