"1
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said John Dalziel at the Office
of the Commissioners of Patents on the 16th November 1883.
JOHN DALZIEL of Glasgow in the County of Lanark, North Britain
OR IMPROVED RETAINING STUD OR CLIP FOR SCARFS AND NECKTIES
"
"
A NEW
This Invention has for its object to prevent the scarf or necktie from rising or
riding up on the collar at the throat of the wearer as it at present frequently does
when worn with a "Masher" or other style of vertical collar--and the new or
improved retaining, stud or clip for the said purpose constituting the Invention
consists of a front plate or part fashioned in any of the designs or patterns in which
the heads of scarf pins or brooches are made. To the back of the said front plate
and preferably at its upper part a loop composed of wire or its equivalent is secured.
This loop is so constructed as to take in and fit securely on the neck of the collar
stud after the collar has been buttoned in position-and, in some cases to enable
the loop to be placed on, the stud more easily, the said loop may constitute a
spring or it may constitute spring jaws opening either from the side or from the
lower end
When in position the upper edge of the scarf or necktie comes between the loop
and the front plate or part of the retaining stud or clip which plate or part shews
in front of the scarf or necktie like the head of a scarf pin or brooch, and the loop
and front plate or part being connected together at their upper ends the scarf or
necktie is prevented from riding or rising up on the collar as at present.

"A NEW
My said Invention has for its object to prevent the scarf or necktie from rising
or riding up on the collar, at the throat of the wearer as it at present frequently
does when worn with a "masher" or other style of vertical collar. And the new
or improved retaining stud or clip for the said purpose constituting the Invention
consists as seen in front elevation at figure 1, in back elevation at figure 2, and in
plan at figure 3, of the drawings appended hereto, of a face plate or part A,
fashioned in any of the designs or patterns in which the heads of scarf pins or
brooches are made. To the back of the said face plate and at its upper part a loop B,
composed of wire or its equivalent is secured This loop B, is so constructed at its
part B¹, as to fit securely on the neck of the collar stud or or button after the collar
has been buttoned in position, and as at figure 2, the loop may be solid at the said
part or to enable it to be placed on the stud or button more easily it may as seen
at figures 4, and 6, constitute a spring, or spring jaws opening either from the side
or from the lower end.
All the illustrative figures are drawn larger than full size
When in position the upper edge of the scarf or necktie comes between the
loop B, and the face plate or part A, of the retaining stud or clip which plate or
part shews in front of the scarf or necktie like the head of a scarf pin or brooch and
the loop and front plate or part being connected together at their upper ends the
scarf or necktie is prevented from riding or rising up on the collar as at present.
Having now described and particularly ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and the system mode or manner in or under which it is or may be used
or carried out in practice I would observe in conclusion that what I consider to be
novel and original and therefore claim as the Invention secured to me by the
herein before in part recited Letters Patent is,
The new or improved retaining stud or clip consisting of a face plate A, and a
loop B, which loop may constitute a spring or spring jaws substantially as described
with reference to the drawings annexed.
In Witness Whereof, I, the said John Dalziel, have hereunto set my hand and
seal, this Thirteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and eighty four.
