We GEORGE CARYL of 23, Clifton Street Cardiff, Jeweller and Silversmith,
and THOMAS HENRY HOOPER 11 Wood Street, Cardiff, Working Jeweller do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in links, studs, solitaires and like articles,
and has for its object to provide a simple arrangement by which such articles may
be more easily secured in their respective holes than is at present the case.
In carrying out our invention the head of the stud, solitaire or like article is
furnished with a stem of flat form extending across the head. To the end of this
stem a cross piece is fitted consisting of a narrow bar tapering towards both ends
and extending across the stem so that the planes of the stem and cross piece are at
right angles. The form of the cross piece allows it to be easily inserted in the
hole of the cuff or shirt, and after it has passed through is turned at right angles
so as to extend across the hole. The peculiar form of the stem ensures it being
held in this position so that there is no danger of the stud or link becoming
accidentally detached. As applied especially to studs, the stem may be formed
with a small notch at each side, close to the head, this arrangement proving of
service in the better securing of collars to the neck of the shirt.
With this arrangement the holes are not liable to get injured by the insertion
and removal of the studs or links.

Improvements in Studs, Links, and like Artioles,
We, GEORGE CARYL of 23, Clifton Street, Cardiff, Jeweller and Silversmith,
and THOMAS HENRY HOOPER of 11, Wood Street, Cardiff, 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:-

held in this position so that there is no danger of the stud or link becoming
accidentally detached.
As applied especially to studs, the stem may be formed with a small notch at
each side, close to the head, this arrangement proving of service in the better
securing of collars to the neck of the shirt.
With this arrangement the holes are not liable to get injured by the insertion
and removal of the studs or links.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which
Fig. 1 shows a pair of links in side elevation,
Fig. 2 is a view of one button at right angles to Fig. 1, and
Fig. 3 is an elevation of a stud according to my invention.
As shown in Figs. 1 and 2 each button of the link is formed with a top A of
any suitable form from which the stem B projects. This stem is of peculiar form
consisting of a small plate placed transversely, so that when the link is inserted the
plate will lie along the link hole, preventing any turning. The cross piece C is
carried on the end of this stem, and is thus held at right angles to the link hole.
The chain D serves to connect the two heads A and aids in holding them in the
position in which the bar C extends across the hole.
Referring to Fig. 3, the stud is formed with the base A¹ having the flat stem B¹
and the head C₁ of circular or any suitable form. The stem is formed with a
small notch b at each side, this notch serving to fasten the collars more securely in
place.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
(1.) Improvements in studs, links and like articles, consisting in a flat plate like
stem fitted transversely on the base or head, and adapted to lie in the stud or
other hole to prevent turning, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
(2.) Improvements in links for cuffs and the like, consisting of a flat plate like
stem fitted to the buttons transversely, and a cross piece placed at right angles to
the stem, substantially as described and shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings,
and for the purposes specified.
(3.) The improved stud, provided with a flat stem connected to a head and base,
and a notch at each side of the stem, substantially as described and shown in
Fig. 3 of the drawings and for the purposes specified.
Dated this 7th day of October 1896.
