Improvements in Collar Studs and in Devices for use in connection
therewith.
I, JOSEPH DAWs, of 188, Albany Road, Camberwell, London, Gentleman,
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:―
My invention relates to improvements in collar studs and devices for use in
connection therewith, said stud while serving to retain the collar in place in the
usual manner being particularly intended for facilitating the fixing of the tie, bow.
or scarf, in such a manner that it is firmly held in position and has no tendency
to turn or work round towards one side or to rise or fall in front.
In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will now proceed to
describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1
is a side elevation of one form of stud constructed according to this invention,
Fig. 2 being a plan of same, also showing the rings or connections by means of
which the tie is secured in position as hereinafter more fully described.
Fig. 3 is a side elevation of such a stud with the lower part in section.
Fig. 4 is a side elevation of a modified form of stud, and Figs. 5 and 6 illustrate
in front elevation and vertical section the device for use in connection with same.
Referring now more particularly to Figs. 1 to 3 my improved stud comprises
the basis or disc a having a hollow vertical sleeve 6 projecting therefrom and
within which slides the stem e secured in place by means of the pin d projecting
from the said stem c and taking down and under the slot e after the manner of
a bayonet joint, while beneath said stem c is arranged a small spiral spring f to
retain the said stem in place. The top of the stud is furnished upon each side
with a hook g', while the tie which is secured in place by the said stud has the
neck band divided at the back and to each divided extremity a suitable strip h
of elastic material is sewn, each strip h terminating in a ring designed to
take over the hooks g¹ g¹, and by this means the tie or scarf is secured in place
in such a manner as to prevent its turning or working to one side. The stud
is inserted in place by passing the sleeve b through the button holes, passing the
stem c into same and pressing it down and giving a slight turn so as to bring
the pin d into the enlarged portion of the slot e (Fig. 1), the spiral spring f then
retaining it in place.
Fig. 4 illustrates a modified form of stud which is essentially the same as that
already described with the exception that it is furnished with one hook g² only
and in connection with same I employ the device shown at Figs. 5 and 6, which
is intended to be sewn to the back of the bow. This comprises a metal plate
having two end pieces k furnished with holes or perforations 7 by means of which
it may be secured in place, while the central portion is turned over to form a
pocket m.
The stud shown at Fig. 4 is passed through the front of the shirt and coliar,
the tongue of the hook 2 being then passed into the pocket m where it is firmly
held in place by the spring n formed out of the substance of the plate and by

page_text: this means the tie is prevented from turning or working to either side, while the
ordinary band and buckle or other fastening may be employed for securing it
at the back if required.
The tongue of the hook q² may enter the pocket m from either the top or the
bottom either to prevent the tie from rising where it has this tendency or to sup-
port it where it is liable to drop and expose the stud.
By means of my invention, bows, ties, scarves and the like may be easily and
firmly secured in position without any tendency to turning, while where the
stud and attachments shown at Figs. 1 to 3 are employed the tie or scarf can be
worn considerably longer than where the ordinary buckle fastening is used, as
this quickly wears out the band rendering the tie or scarf useless.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. The new
or improved stud comprising a suitable base or disc a with a
vertical hollow sleeve 6, a stem c taking into same and secured by a bayonet catch
and having a head g furnished upon each side with a hook g¹, substantially as
described and shown, and for the purposes specified.
2. The combination with a stud such as above claimed of rings or connec
tions h¹ secured to elastic strips h designed to be sewn or connected in any con-
venient manner to the divided extremities of the band of a neck tie or the like,
substantially as herein described and shown, and for the purposes specified.
3. The modified form of stud and the device for use in connection therewith
substantially as herein described and shown with reference to Figs. 4, 5, and 6
of the accompanying drawings, and for the purposes specified.
