Corresponding Clerk, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
banner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained
n and by the following statement :-
The object of my invention is to produce a stud which can be easily inserted or
withdrawn, and a shirt hole which will allow the stud to be instantly inserted even
in the stiffest dressed shirt or article of dress. The stud itself I form in two parts,
one part consisting of a more or less circular base plate to which is attached a
tubular stem at a right angle to the base plate. At the upper end of the stem
I make two vertical slots, at the opposite ends of the diameter of the stem and
At the end of each of these I make a horizontal
parallel with the length of it.
slot, at a right angle to the first, and consequently parallel with the base plate.
Both the last mentioned slots are made in the same direction either to the right or
left of the vertical slots. The second part of the stud comprises the head of usual
shape, to the under face of which is attached a short length of tube or piece of
metal of such outer diameter that it will easily enter the inside of the tube forming
the stem. At each opposite end of the diameter of this short piece of tube,
In use the
I provide an outward projection of same width as the slot in the stein.
stem of the stud is passed through the hole in the shirt or other garment and the
head affixed on the other side, by entering the projections on it in the vertical slots at
the top of the stem, and then giving it a twist so that they enter the horizontal slots.
The stud can be withdrawn by reversing the above operations. In order to more
readily use the stud I form the hole for it in the garment of circular outline and of
about the diameter of the stem of the stud, instead of making it in the form of a.
mere slit as is done at present.
1 accompany this Specification by a sheet of drawings to more fully explain
the nature of my invention. Similar letters refer to the same parts in each figure.
Figure 1 shows the base and stem of the stud, a being the base, the tubular
stem, c and c¹ the vertical slots and d and d¹ the horizontal ones.
Fig. 2 shows the head part of the stud, e being the head properf the short length
of tube or metal and g and g¹ the projections.
The projections 9 and g' Fig. 2 are entered in the vertical slots c and c¹ of Fig. 1
and then passed into the horizontal slots d and d', by a twist of the head e Fig. 2 is

reverse movement releases the head from the stem.

Fig. 3 shows a shirt front and collar with the round stud holes above mentioned,
h being the circular holes.
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. In studs for fastening shirts and other articles of personal attire the combina-
tion of a base plate having a vertical tubular stem furnished with vertical and
horizontal slots, with a head having projections which can be inserted in the vertical
and horizontal slots of the stem, substantially as described in the above Specification
O and exemplified by the accompanying drawings.

page_text: 2. In stud holes, for shirts and other articles of attire, the use of circular
openings instead of the usual slits, substantially as described in the above
Specification and exemplified by the accompanying drawings.
