page_text: Improvements in or Connected with Shirt Bands and Ouffs, and in
Means of Fitting Studs Securely therein or thereto.
I MATTHEW WILSON of 166 Fleet Street, City of London, Gentleman, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention, is improvements in or connected with shirt bands and
cuffs and in means for fitting studs securely therein or thereto, whereby such studs
are prevented being lost from the button holes in the collar band, the front band or
pleat, or the cuff, or wristband.
For the purpose of my invention, I sew or otherwise attach a strip or additional
piece on the outer side of say a neck band or I make a loose piece from the band
itself, an inner lining piece being sewn between to give strength and stiffness. In this
additional or other piece I form a circular or other shaped hole for the reception of
and passage of a small disc of a stud button or other fastener the larger disc lodging
itself between and held in a secure manner.
In the case of neckbands wristbands, cuffs and front bands or edge pleats of shirt
fronts one or more additional pieces may be fitted to the inside or between the outer
and inner folds, one dise of the stud, or the stem only of a Patent fastener, being
passed through from between the material and of the additional piece or pieces.

Means of Fitting Studs Securely therein or thereto,
I, MATTHEW WILSON of 166 Fleet Street, City of London, Gentleman 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 :-
The object of my invention is improvements in or connected with shirt bands and
cuffs and in means for fitting studs securely therein or thereto, whereby such studs
are prevented being lost from the button holes in the collar band, the front band, or
pleat, or the cuff, or wristband.
For the purpose of my invention, which will be clearly understood by reference to
the annexed drawings in which Figures 1 and 2 show the invention applied to shirts,
and Figure 3 to a cuff or wristband. I sew or otherwise attach a strip or additional
piece a on the outer side of say, a neck band, or I make a loose piece e from the
band itself, an inner lining piece being sewn between to give strength and stiffness.
In this additional or other piece, I form a circular or other shaped hole d for the
reception and passage of a small disc of a stud button e or other fastener, the larger
disc lodging itself between and being held in a secure manner.
In the case of neck bands, wrist bands, cuffs or front bands, or edge pleats of shirt
fronts, one or more additional pieces may be fitted to the inside, or between the outer
and inner folds, one disc of the stud, or the stem only of a Patent fastener, being
passed through from between the material and of the additional piece or pieces.
Figure 4 shows a modification of the arrangement shown at Figure 1 in which the
additional piece a is sewn on the outside of a cuff or wristband.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
1. This improvement hereinbefore described for securely retaining studs in the
stud holes as herein set forth.
2. Attaching a distinct piece of fabric to the inside or outside of another fabric as
a means of securing studs in position in the bands, pleats, cuffs, or wristbands of
shirts as herein before described and as shown by the annexed drawings.
