PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Fastener or Holder for Antimaccassars.
Mrs. ANNIE LOUISA MACDONA 339 Brixton Road, London, S. W. Gentlewoman
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
The fastener or holder consists of a metal clip to which is attached a chain about
four inches in length at the end of the chain a pin is fixed.
The clip is to be attached to the back of the antimaccassar the chain then to be
passed over the top of the chair and the pin to be inserted with the point upwards
behind the chair either between the join of the material or behind the gimp thus
preventing any injury to the material with which the chair is covered.
When once
the pin has been firmly inserted the fastener or holder need never be removed from
the chair as the antimaccassar can be easily taken out of the clip and replaced as
often as wished.
The antimaccassar is thus held perfectly secure and prevents it from continually
slipping off the backs of the chairs.
