PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with Studs for Fastening Collars,
Sleeves, and other articles.
I, GEORGE ARMFIELD, of 35 Victoria Road, Battersea Park, in the County of
Surrey, Dyer and Cleaner, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:
--
The object of my invention is to provide a convenient and safe fastening which
may be made very ornamental if desired and which is simple in construction and
casy of application. This fastening is composed essentially of two generally curved
parts hinged together one part carrying the stud proper which is passed through
the articles to be connected, a shirt band for example, the other part carrying a
clasp which is brought over and clips the edge of the stud head for which purpose
and to facilitate the attaching same, the edge is cut or made straight as distinguished
from the opposite side which for the sake of freely entering an aperture is, or may
be rounded or curved.
To attach the fastening to the article, all that is necessary is to insert the stud
proper and bring over the clasp on it. The fastening is then perfectly secure. To
undo it all that is necessary is to pull back the clasp with the finger and withdraw
the stud from the article.
For some articles such as sleeve links the stud portion should be longer than the
clasp portion and the space between the two parts need not be as great but of
course other modifications may be made to adapt the fastening to the particular
purpose for which it is intended to be used.
It is obvious that the front of the clasp may be decorated in any desired manner
as fancy or taste may dictate, as for example when the fastening is used to secure a
brooch or valuable stud.
These fastenings may be made of any desired material such as of precious or
other metals, bone, ivory or compositions.
