Stud or Button for Scarfs, Bows, or the like purposes.
We, THOMAS MORTON, of 405, Lodge Road, Hockley, in the City of Birmingham,
and GEORGE TAYLOR, of 4 and 5, Long Lane, Aldersgate Street, London, E.C.,
Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a new or improved combination of attachment fastening
aud collar stud or button for scarfs, bows or other like purposes and refers in
some cases to means whereby the one (front) part of a two part collar stud is
connected with a hook, pin, claw, lever grip or similar device which may be
detachably attached to the bow or scarf, also by which a button head may be
carried.
•
Preferably the two part stud is made according to Specification No. 12113 of
1895, and in carrying out this our invention instead of the usual head upon the
removable stem, we provide and attach to the said stem a hook or safety pin
device or the like by which the said stem may be readily and removably attached
to the back of the bow or scarf. Hence by passing the stem into the rear part of
the stud, the scarf or bow is simultaneously secured in position.
It may be readily seen that although the two part stud as shown and described
in Specification No. 12113 of 1895, readily adapts itself to this improved com-
bination, yet other similarly acting two part studs may also be used.
In some cases the fastening device may consist of an outstanding loop or bar
between which and the main plate or body of the aforesaid detachable part, a
portion of the scarf (when the same has to be tied) or a band thereon may be
passed, so that thereby the scarf may be rigidly held in position.
I may further modify the fastening so that it may consist of a double pin, which
two pins may be formed from one piece of metal and lie parallel to each other,
and hinged at their one end to the plate, the forward (point) ends of the pins
when closed down-taking simultaneously under two catches formed upon the
plate. A slight bend or curvature in the pin wire at the joint affords the desirablo
safety pin spring like action.
It will be readily seen that with this kind of fastening instead of the stem for
the two part stud we may substitute a button head, thus forming a convenient
method of attaching buttons for temporary use.

Stud or Button for Scarfs, Bows, or the like purposes.
We, THOMAS MORTON, of 405, Lodge Road, Hockley, in the City of Birmingham,
and GEORGE TAYLOR, of 4 and 5, Long Lane, Aldersgate Street, London, E.C.,
Manufacturers, 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 a new or improved combination of attachment fastening
and collar stud or button for scarfs, bows or other like purposes, and refers in
some cases to means whereby the one (front) part of a two part collar stud is
connected with a double pin, or similar device which may be detachably attached
to the bow or scarf, also by which a button head may be carried.
Preferably the two part stud is mado according to Specification No. 12113 of
1895, and in carrying out this our invention instead of the usual head upon the
removable stem, we provide and attach to the said stem a safety pin
device or the like by which the said stem may be readily and removably attached
to the back of the bow or scarf. Hence by passing the stem into the rear part of
the stud, the scarf or bow is simultaneously scoured in position.
It may be readily seen that although the two part stud as shown and described
in Specification No. 12113 of 1895, readily adapts itself to this improved com-
bination, yet other similarly acting two part studs may also be used.
The satety pin device cousists of a double pin, which two pins may be formed
from one piece of metal and lie parallel to each other, and hinged at their one end
to the plate, the forward (point) ends of the pins when closed down-taking
simultaneously under two catches formed upon the plate. A slight bend or cur-
vature in the pin wire at the joint affords the desirable safety pin spring like
action.
It will be readily seen that with this kind of fastening instead of the stem for
the two part stud we may substitute a button head, thus forming a convenient
method of attaching buttons for temporary use.
In order to, more clearly explain this our invention we 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, is a side view of this our invention, in which a fixed button head is
used, and in which the attachment pius are shown in their closed position.
Fig. 2, is a similar view to Fig. 1, except that the pins are shown open.
Fig. 3, is a rear view also showing the position of the pins when closed.
Fig. 4, is a plan view of a slightly modified shape of pin device, and with a
removable head.
Fig. 5, is a rear view in elevation of the modified shape as shown in Fig. 4.
Fig. 6, is a part sectional view on line A-B.
According to Figs. 1, 2 & 3, the button head 8, is rigidly secured to the plate 9.
This plate is suitably shaped at 10, to carry double pin 11. The plate 9, is
further continued at its upper end, and bent over to accommodate the forming
of shields for the points of the pins. These shields are made by piercing the
plate at 12, and then forming the shields 13, 13, as shown. A slight bend in
the pin at 14 (that is in its joint) will give it a spring like tendency to always
open, consequently when the pin is closed as seen in Fig. 1, it is springwise
held therein.
According to Figs. 4, 5 & 6, it will be seen that the plate 9, is modified some.

page_text: what in shape and the double pins are kept farther apart. In, this case also the
button head 8, is removable and conveniently formed by using a two part stud
like construction, such for instance as shown in Specification No. 12113 of 1895
for which Letters Patent have been granted to me Thomas Morton one of the
present applicants. This forms a convenient arrangement when for instance,
the plate 9, with its pins is attached, say to the back of a scarf, and the button 8*,
is passed from the rear through the shirt collar &c., button holes, then by passing
the stem 15, into the shank 16, the scarf is secured in position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
1. The combination and arrangement of button head 8, plate 9, and pins 11,
substantially as set forth and shown in Figs. 1, 2, & 3.
2. The combination and arrangement of button head 8%, plate 9, stem 15, and
pins 11, substantially as shown and described.
