We, CHARLES MONTAGUE SMITII and BERNARD RINTEL SIMMONS, of 63,
Northampton Street, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Die Sinkers and
Tool Makers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention has for its object improvements in dress fastenings- and 'refers
to the fastening of the skirt and attachment of the back of the bodice or 'blouse
thereto which we effect in such a manner that no part of the back of the bodice or
blouse can pull up or crease as is the case with safety pins and the other fastenings
now in vogue.
In carrying our invention into effect we form two plates so perforated that they
can readily be sewn inside the band of the skirt at the placquet-hole and upon
the end of one we provide a projecting stud and on the end of the others an eyelet
and slot so that the two can readily be hooked together. These two plates are
sufficiently long to extend well across the back and are provided on the top at or
near their extreme ends with a vertical hook cut and bent over out of the metal
forming the plate and a similar hook is formed on the eyeleted plate at the eyelet
end so that when the two are fastened the last named hook is central between
the two end ones. The other part of our invention consists of another perforated
plate of the same length as the two previous plates when fastened together and
this is perforated for sewing on to the lower part of the back of the bodice and is
provided with three projections which are so slotted and bent that they can
readily be hooked on to the hooks formed upon the skirt fasteners. The plates
are curved to the shape of the waist and being thin retain the skirt and bodice
in position all round the back without creasing or pulling in any direction.

We, CHARLES MONTAGUE SMITH, and BERNARD RINTEL SIMMONS. of 63,
Northampton Street, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Die Sinkers and
Toolmakers, 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:.
1
Our invention has for its object improvements in dress fastenings and refers

page_text: to the fastening of the skirt and attachment of the back of the bodice or blouse
thereto which we effect in such a manner that no part of the back of the bodice or
blouse can pull up or crease as is the case with safety pins and the other fastenings
now in vogue.
In order that our invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practise we have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings, which fully
illustrate the nature of our said invention.
Figure 1 is a view of the dress fastener connected together.
Figure 2 is a section of the dress fastener when disconnected.
Figure 3 is a view of the dress fastener disconnected.
Figure 4 shews the dress fastener applied to the back of a ladies dress.
Figure 5 is a section through the back part of a ladies dress and bodice shewing
the dress fastener connected thereto.
In carrying our invention into effect we form two plates A A' so perforated
at a that they can readily be sewn inside the band of the skirt C at the placquet-
hole and upon the end of one we provide the projecting stud a3 and on the end
of the other an eyelet and slot at so that the two can readily be hooked together.
These two plates are sufficiently long to extend well across the back and are
provided on the top at or near their extreme ends with the vertical hooks a cut
and bent over out of the metal forming the plate while a similar hook is formed
on the eyeleted plate at the eyelet end a so that when the two are fastened the
last named hook is central between the two ends. The other part of our invention
consists of another perforated plate B of the same length as the two previous
plates when fastened together and this is perforated at 61 for sewing on to the
lower part of the back of the bodice or bodice waist band 1) and is provided with
three projections which are so slotted and bent that they can readily be hooked
on to the hooks a and a which are formed upon the skirt fastenings A A¹. The
plates are sufficiently pliable to readily accomodate themselves to the shape of
the waist and being thin retain the skirt and bodice in position all round the
back without creasing marking or pulling in any direction.
It will also be seen that the fastenings A A¹ may be utilized for fastening the
skirt with advantage even when wearing a bodice or blouse to which a plate B
has not been attached while a blouse having the plate B attached thereto can be
readily attached to the skirt plates A without interfering with the skirt attach-
ment in any way whatever.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
In dress fastenings the skirt plates A A¹ having hooks a³ and a in combination
with the bodice plate B having slotted and bent projections 2 substantially as
and for the purpose herein set forth and illustrated."
