PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Studs, Solitaires, and like Fasteners.
I, SAMUEL CHANDLER Senior, of Central Works, Kennington Oval, in the county
of Surrey, Gas Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention has for object to provide a stud or solitaire which can be easily
placed in and removed from a shirt front or other part of an article of dress where
studs or solitaires are used without tending to tear or fray the button hole as is
commonly the case with the studs at present in use, my improved stud forming at
the same time what may be called a duplex stud or solitaire and when placed in
position is very secure.
In carrying out my invention I employ a disc or back plate from which projects
a stem forming the neck of the stud; to the front or outer end of the stem I hinge
a flap of suitable design which forms the front of the stud; both sides or faces of
the Aap can be engraved, chased or otherwise ornamented and be provided with
brilliants or other stones as may be required.
To place my improved stud in-say for example a shirt front, the flap is passed
through the button hole or holes and a quarter of a turn to the right or left is given
to the stud when the flap will drop down against the shirt front.
It will be obvious that either side of the flap can be made to face outwards according to
the direction in which the stud is turned thus providing what may be termed a duplex
stud.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Studs, Solitaires, and like Fasteners.
I SAMUEL CHANDLER Senior, of Central Works, Kennington Oval, in the county
of Surrey, Gas Engineer, 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 studs, solitaires, and like fasteners, and comprise the im-
provements hereinafter described.
In carrying out my invention I employ a disc or back plate from which projects a
stem forming the neck of the stud; to the front or outer end of the stem I hinge a
Alap of suitable design which forms the front of the stud; both sides or faces of the
flap can be engraved, chased or otherwise ornamented, or be provided with brilliants
or other jewels or stones as may be desired.
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same with reference
to the accompanying drawing, in which
Figure 1 is a front elevation of a stud constructed according to my invention, and
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same.
Figures 3 and 4 are views similar to Figures 1 and 2 respectively illustrating a
modification of my invention.
Figure 5 illustrates the application of the stud shewn in Figures 3 and 4 as a tie
retainer.
a is the disc or back plate; b is the stem, and c is the head at the outer end of
the same.

page_text: d is the flap which is pivotted to the head, the said flap being provided with lugs or
projections e, e, entering holes in the said head, as shown.
The stud shown in Figures 1 and 2 is especially adapted for use in a shirt-front.
To place the same in position the flap is passed through the button hole or holes, and
a quarter of a turn to the right or loft is given to the stud, when the flap will drop
down against the shirt-front.
It will be obvious that either side of the flap can be made to face outwards
according to the direction in which the stud is turned thus providing what may be
termed a duplex stud. f,f represent jewels placed in one face of the flap.
The stud shewn in Figures 3 and 4 is adapted for use as a collar stud, and scarf
retainer, the flap being formed with an opening g through which a scarf can be passed,
for instance as shown in Figure 5. In this modification the head c is represented as
being provided with a jewel.
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 1
claim is :-
1. A stud, solitaire or the like having a hinged flap, substantially as described.
2. The manufacture and use of the improved duplex stud, either with or without
an opening (9), substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accom-
panying drawing.
