Complete Specification Left, 17th Mar., 1890-Accepted, 19th Apr., 1890
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Construction of Studs, Solitaires, Sleeve Links, and
the like.
I, EDWARD SAMUEL COOK, of Beulah House, 274 South Lambeth Road, Surrey,
Accountant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In the use of Collar and Shirt Studs, Solitaires, Sleeve Links and the like, much
inconvenience and discomfort is felt by the rubbing or chafing of the hard shank of
the Stud or Solitaire against the skin, or in the case of Sleeve Links, by the parts
connecting the two discs or bars.
Now the object of my invention, is to form or construct such articles of a soft,
yielding, elastic, material which would obviate the above mentioned inconvenience,
and at the same time the Stud or other article is permitted to yield to the various
movements of the neck, wrists, &c.
According to my invention, I form the whole, or certain parts of the Stud,
Solitaire, or Sleeve Link of india rubber, which, in some cases, may be vulcanized, or
otherwise partly stiffened to facilitate the passage of the head of the Stud, or the
discs, or bars of the Sleeve Links through the button holes of the garment, and in
order to give the usual ornamental appearance to the Stud, Solitaire, or Sleeve Link,
I coat the face of the Stud, or the discs, or bars of the Sleeve Link with a thin plate
of gold, silver, or other metal, or instead of this plating, the parts which would be
visible may be hardened as above mentioned and coloured in imitation of ivory,
ebony, or other substance.

the like.
I, EDWARD SAMUEL COOK, of Beulah House, 274 South Lambeth Road, Surrey,
Accountant, 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 :-
In the use of Collar and Shirt Studs, Solitaires, Sleeve Links, and the like, much
inconvenience and discomfort is felt by the rubbing or chafing of the hard shank of
the Stud or Solitaire against the skin, or in the case of Sleeve Links, by the parts
connecting the two discs or bars.
Now the object of my invention, is to form or construct such articles of a soft,
yielding, elastic material which would obviate the above mentioned inconvenience,
and at the same time the Stud, or other article is permitted to yield to the various
movements of the neck, wrists &c.
According to may invention, I form the whole, or certain parts of the Stud,
Solitaire, or Sleeve Link of india rubber moulded to shape and which in some cases
may be vulcanized, or otherwise partly stiffened, such as by the amalgamation of an
already cured rubber bulb to a fresh made stem and back plate and constituting a
combination hard and soft Stud to facilitate the passage of the head of the Stud, or
the discs, or bars of the Sleeve Links through the button holes of the garment, and
in order to give the usual ornamental appearance to the Stud, Solitaire, or Sleeve

page_text: Link, I coat the face of the Stud, or the discs, or bars of the Sleeve Link with a
thin plate of gold, silver, or other metal, or instead of this plating, the parts which
would be visible may be hardened as above mentioned and coloured in imitation of
ivory, ebony, or other substance.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The manufacture by moulding of Shirt and Collar Studs, Sleeve Links, and like
articles from soft india rubber, or its compounds, and possessing when cured or
vulcanized, the desired flexibility for the purposes described.
