COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Collar, Shirt, and Ouff Studs, and Glove Fasteners.
and to be used for other purposes.
I, WALTER RUSSELL STARKEY, of 56 High Street, Shirley, near Southampton,
in the County of Hampshire, Working Jeweller, 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 collar shirt and cuff studs and glove
fasteners and to be used for other purposes.
Studs and fasteners made according to this invention are intended to afford ease
and security against collars, shirts, gloves and other articles of wearing apparel
coming undone.
1 attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying
drawing, in which—
Fig. 1 is an elevation of the stud or fastener placed in position.
Fig. 2 is an elevation of Fig. 1, with the bar a placed so that the collar, cuff' or
other garment may be released.
Fig. 3 is an elevation of a cuff link, the dotted lines indicate the position of the
bar a when it is required to unfasten the cuff.
Fig. 4 is vertical section of the bar a to an enlarged scale.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the views.
The stud or fastener has a round flat back provided in the center with a hollow
shanke, across the top of the said shank two round slots are cut leaving a projection
on either side of the slots. Each projection has a small hole through which a pin
or rivet c is fixed. A hollow bar a which fits in the inside of the shanke is provided
with a spiral spring b (about half the length of the bar a) which is fastened on to
one end; at the other half of the bar a there are two slots d cut which will allow
the bar a to slide on the rivet c which passes through the projections at the top of
037

page_text: the shank e.
When the stud is open it is like a straight shank as in Fig. 2 ; and
forming a letter T as in Fig. 1, when closed.
In Fig. 3, is described a similar arrangement for a cuff link with the exception
of a small socket e' taking the place of the herein before:described shank.
This invention may be constructed in any metallic substance and of any suitable
shape.
It will be understood that I do not particularly bind myself to use this
invention for collars, shirts, cuffs and gloves only, as it may be adopted for any, and
every description of wearing apparel without departing from the nature of my
invention.
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. In a stud or fastener, the combination of the round flat back and shank e with
the slots d pine spiral spring in the bar a rivetted to the shank e for operating
the bar a, substantially as herein described and according to Figs. 1, 2, and 4, of the
accompanying drawing.
2. In a cuff link or other fastener, the combination of the bar a slots d spiral
spring, rivet or pin rivetted to the socket for operating the bar a,
Bubstantially as herein described and according to Figs. 3, and 4, of the accom-
pnuying drawing.
