Complete Specification Left, 9th Feb., 1898-Accepted, 12th Mar., 1898
I, SYDNEY GRIFFITH, of 250, Icknield Street, in the City of Birmingham,
Jeweller, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
This invention relates to improvements in links for sleeve cuffs or the like pur-
poses, and refers more particularly to the fetter which connect the two button like
heads together.
The button like heads are made in any of the usual styles or patterns having a
loop or eye upon the rear side.
In making the fetter which forms this my invention, I cut out from sheet metal
two pieces having at each of their ends a hooklike part. In the body portion of
these pieces one or more rivet holes are pierced. These two pieces are now hooked
into the loops at the back of the button like heads, but contrawise to each other,
that is, the gap or opening of the one hook lies, upon the back of the other hook,
or their ends may butt against each other and thus prevents unhooking. These.
two are now rivetted to each other, and thus completes the fetter. When a single
rivet is used it may if desired be of a non-circular sectional shape.

I, SYDNEY GRIFFITH, of 250, Icknield Street, in the City of Birmingham,
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:-
This invention relates to improvements in links for sleeve cuffs or the like pur-
poses, and refers more particularly to the fetter which connects the two button like
heads together.
In order to more particularly explain this my invention, I have appended here-
unto an illustrative drawing upon which are figures and numbers of reference,
similar numbers referring throughout to the same thing or part.
Fig. 1 and 2, are views of a link showing respectively side and plan views of
this my improved fetter.
Figs. 3 and 4, are detailed side and edge views of the one half of the fetter.
The button-like heads 6, 6, are made in any of the usual styles or patterns hav-
ing a loop or eye 7, upon the rear side.

page_text: In making the fetter which forms this my invention, I cut out from sheet metal
two of the pieces 8, see Figs. 3 & 4, having at each of their ends a hole 9, with
entrance gap 10. In the body portion of these pieces one or more rivet holes 11,
are pierced, one however appears to be quite sufficient. These two pieces are now
hooked into the loops 7, at the back of the button like heads, but contrawise to
each other, that is, the gap or opening of the one hook lies upon the back of the
other hook, as seen by dotted lines in Fig. 1, and thus prevents the unhooking of
the eye 7. These two pieces 8, are now rivetted to each other by rivet 12, and thus
completes the fetter. When a single rivet is used it may if desired be of a non-
circular sectional shape.
If desired the gaps 10, may be dispensed with, and the metal there merely slitted
so as to be sprung on one side to admit the loop 7.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
-
t
The combination with the two heads 6, 6, of the fetter consisting of the two
pieces 8, 8, cut, pierced, and rivetted together substantially as shown and described.
Dated this 8th day of February 1898.
