We, GUSTAVE WILHELM MÖHRSTADT Manufacturer of 103 Great Charles Street
Birmingham and CHRISTOPHER WILLIAM OATES, Manufacturer of 103 Great Charles
Street Birmingham, Auctioneer and Surveyor 83 High Street Stourbridge, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
:-
This invention consists of the arrangement of parts constituting a complete and
effectual fastener, which can be used for fastening together stays leggins general
wearing apparel baskets boxes, bridels and other articles and things.
In carrying out our invention we provide a plate with a stud hook or link there-
from, we also provide two pieces of suitably shaped metal plates B and C, for the
purpose of fastening the stud or look therewith these metal plates B and C, are
pierced and connected together by a rivet or pivot, when so connected B and C,
will form a oppening, O in its horizontal plan to receive the stud hook or link.
To hold or keep the stud in the oppening O, a spring E is provided in a suitable
possition to act on B and C, in order to release the stud, hook or link, a slight presure
on C which working on the pivot will oppen O, and so release the stud.
This arrangement for fastening can be made in hard or soft metal, or any other
suitable material to suit the purpose and strength required.
In using the aforesaid fastening on stays leggins and other things two or more
such fasteners are required and are fixed on one of the busks or steel plates.
To operate or work the several fasteners simultaneously, we provide a connecting
rod and a lever or swivel suitably fitted to the busk or steel plate.
The plates B would be riveted on the busk or steel plate.
The plates C working on the pivot would be connected with the connecting rod and
the lever or swivel, in toutch with the latter.
By moving the lever or swivel the fasteners will act simultanously and so release
the studs on the corresponding side.
To ensure the security of the fastening of the stays leggins or other articles, one or
more of the fasteners are made to operate in opposite directions.

GUSTAVE WILHELM MOHRSTADT 103 Great Charles Street Birmingham Manu-
facturer CHRISTOPHER WILLIAM OATES Manufacturer, 103 Great. Charles Street
Birmingham Auctioneer & Surveyor 83 High Street Stourbridge 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 :-
This invention consists of the arrangements of parts constituting a complete and
effectual fastener which can be used for fastening together stays, corsets, and general
wearing apparel, baskets boxes, bridles and other articles and things.
In carrying out my invention, I provide a plate with a stud hook or link therefrom.
I also provide two pieces of suitably shaped metal plates B. and C. for the
purpose of
fastening the stud, or hook, therewith. The metal plates B. and C, are pierced and
connected together by a rivet or pivot. When so connected, B and C will form an
opening O in its horizontal plane to receive the stud, hook, or link.
To hold or keep the stud in the opening O, a spring E is provided in a suitable
D21

page_text: position to act on B and C. In order to release the stud, hook, or link, a slight
pressure on C, which working on the pivot, will open O, and so release the stud.
This arrangement for fastening can be made in hard or soft metal, or any suitable
material to suit the purpose and strength required.
In using the aforesaid fastening on stays leggins, and other things, two or more
fasteners are required, and are fixed on one half of the busk or steel plate.
To operate or work the several fasteners simultaneously I provide a connecting rod,
and lever or swivel, suitably fitted to the busk or steelplate. The plate B would be
riveted on the busk or steelplate. The plate C working on the pivot would be con-
nected to the connecting rod and leaver or swivel.
By moving the lever or swivel the fasteners will act simultanusly and so release
the studs on the corresponding side.
To insure the security of the fastening of the stays leggins, or other articles one or
more of the fasteners are made to operate in opposite directions.
I will now proceed to describe, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the
manner in which the fastener is made and used.
Fig. 1. represents a pair of stay busks fastened or connected.
Fig. 2 represents a pair of stay busks unfastened or disconnected.
Figs. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. show details of the plates connecting rod, swivel, and
spring.
A and A1 show a pair of busks with D the connecting rod and a 1, a 2, a 3, a 4,
the clips fastened over the studs of A 1. F represents an eyelet by which the
connecting rod is fastened to the busk. G are projections worked in D to catch the
tail end of C.
H represents the swivels or lever by which the clips are opened. A 2 represents
the stay busk with the clips open, and shows A 3 released.
Fig. 3 shows the plates B. and C. fastened together by a point or eyelet I, O forming
the opening to receive the stud. E representing the spring in its position when the
clip is closed. H represents the swivel.
Fig. 4 shows the clip when open.
Fig. 5 shows a side section of the clip with the swivel.
Figs. 6 and 7 represents the two plates B. and C. before they are fastened.
Fig. 8 represents the spring E.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The combination of fastening one or more studs by means of clips held together by
springs and actuated by a connecting rod and swivel as described and represented by
the drawings and for the purpose set forth.
