I make with metal a solitaire or sleeve stud in two parts to form a front part and
a back part. To each part I attach in the centre and at a right angle a short
metal tube; the tube attached to the back part is sufficiently large to slide over
the tube attached to the front part. I form a spring with wire in this shape 60 I
make with metal a box sufficiently large to contain the spring, and with a hole in it
sufficiently large to admit the end of the tube attached to the back part; I attach
the box with the spring in it to the front part. I form the tube attached to the back
part two slits, to admit the springs when the solitaire or sleeve stud is fastened; I
slide the tube attached to the back part over the tube attached to the front part, and
insert the end of such first-mentioned tube into the box between the ends of the
spring, and by a little pressure the ends of the spring open, so as to admit the end of
such first-mentioned spring as far as the slits into which the ends of the spring fall,
and thus hold fast and prevent it being withdrawn without being turned partly
round, thus forming a complete solitaire or sleeve stud, and a secure fastening
between the two parts. To disconnect the two parts and unfasten the solitaire or
sleeve stud I turn one part round, so as to release the spring from the slits and then
withdraw the parts.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent filed
by the said George Blunt in the Great Seal Patent Office on the 21st
September 1877.

My Invention will be more readily understood by referring to the accompanying
Drawings.
I make with metal a solitaire or sleeve stud in two parts to form a front part, as
at (a), Figure 1, and a back part, as at (b), Figure 2. To each part I attach, in the
centre and at a right angle, a short mictal tube, as at (c), Figures 1 and 2; the tubo
attached to the back part is made sufficiently large to slide over the tube attached
to the front part. I form a spring with wire in the shape of Figure 3. I make
with metal a box, as represented by Figure 4, sufficiently large to contain the
spring, and with a hole in it, as at (d), Figure 4, sufficiently large to admit the end
of the tube attached to the back part. I attach the box with the spring in it to the
back of the front part, as at (e), Figure 5. I form in the tube attached to the back
part two slits, as at (f), Figure 2, to admit the spring when the solitaire or sleeve stud
is fastened. I slide the tube attached to the back part over the tube attached to
the front part, and insert the end of such first-mentioned tube into the box between
the ends of the spring, and by a little pressure the ends of the spring open, so as to
admit the end of such first-inentioned tube as far as the slits into which the ends
of the springs fall, and thus hold fast and prevent its being withdrawn without
being turned partly round, thus forming a complete solitaire or sleeve stud, as
Figure 5, and a secure fastening between the two parts. To disconnect the two
parts and unfasten the solitaire or sleeve stud I turn one part round, so as to release
the spring from the slits and then withdraw the parts.
Having thus described the nature and object of my said Invention, I claim
(without confining myself to the precise details described, or outlines of the parts,
as shown) an improvement in the mode of fastenings for solitaire sleeve studs, shirt
studs, and other articles of a similar kind, as therein described and illustrated.
In witness whereof, I, the said George Blunt, have hereunto set my hand and
seal, this Thirty-first day of August, in the year of our Lord One thousand
eight hundred and seventy-seven.
