Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the

I, CHARLES TIGHE, of 16 and 17, Poultry, in the City of London, do
hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN
STUDS OR BUTTONS, AND IN THE MODE OF SECURING THEM TO GLOVES AND OTHER
ARTICLES OR GARMENTS," to be as follows:-
The Invention has for its object improvements in studs or buttons,
and in the mode of securing them to gloves and other articles or
garments. For this purpose I form on or fix to the shank of the stud

page_text: or button a metal plate having a number of points or projections
arranged around the edge thereof, and in order to attach it to a glove
or other article or garment I by a convenient tool make suitable cuts
or slits in the glove or other article or garment, through which slits or
cuts the head of the stud or button and the points or projections which
have been previously turned up at right angles are passed, then by a
suitable tool the points or projections are turned over flat on to the
material to which the stud or button is to be fixed, a piece of leather
or other material being fixed over the back of the plate carrying the
points or projections.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said Charles Tighe in the Great Seal Patent Office on
the 3rd September 1869.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, CHARLES
TIGHE, of 16 and 17, Poultry, in the County of London, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent, bearing date the Fifth day of March, in the year of
our Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty-nine, in the thirty-
second year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give
and grant unto me, the said Charles Tighe, Her special licence that I,
the said Charles Tighe, my executors, administrators, and assigns, or such
others as I, the said Charles Tighe, my executors, administrators, and
assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others, from time to
time and at all times thereafter during the term therein expressed, should
and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend, within the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle
of Man, an Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN STUDS OR BUTTONS, AND IN THE
MODE OF SECURING THEM TO GLOVES AND OTHER ARTICLES OR GARMENTS," upon
the condition (amongst others) that I, the said Charles Tighe, my exe-
cutors or administrators, by an instrument in writing under my, or
their, or one of their hands and seals, should particularly describe and
ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the
same was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed in the Great

turned down flat on to the material to which the stud or button is to be
fixed, as shewn at Figure 3, after which a piece of leather or other
suitable material is fixed over the back of the plate or disc 6 carrying
the points or projections c.
I would remark that although in the Drawing I have shewn five
points or projections c, other numbers of points may be employed, and
the form of the various parts may be varied without departing from the
nature of my Invention.
Having thus described the nature of my Invention, and the mode in
which I carry the same into effect, I would have it understood that I
do not confine myself to the precise details herein shewn and described so
long as the peculiar character of my Invention be retained, substantially
as herein explained.
In witness whereof, I, the said Charles Tighe, have hereunto
set my hand and seal, this First day of September, in the
year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty-nine."
