An Improved Method of Attaching Together Bodice and Skirt Bands.
I, ALBERT EDWARD SALLAWAY, of 23, St. George's Square, Forest Gate, in the
County of Essex, Clerk, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows::
My invention relates to an improved method of attaching together bodice and
skirt bands, and in carrying it into effect I proceed in or in about the following
manner. On a band or length of webbing or other suitable material I provide
a number of studs and in another band or length of material a number of holes,
eyelets or sockets for the heads of the studs to pass into or through. I prefer
that the heads of the studs shall be of spring like character so that they may
be pressed into holes or other provisions made to receive them in such manner
that while the parts will remain in engagement sufficiently firm to keep the bands
together, they will not prevent the easy unfastening of the parts when such is
required to be done. The intention is to sell these pieces of studded and eye-
letted material to enable the users to cut off sufficient for their purpose and to
attach them to whichever of the bands they prefer, and in such manner that the
bands may be readily attached to and detached from one another.

page_text: manner that while the parts will remain in engagement sufficiently firm to keep
the bands together they will not prevent the easy unfastening of the parts when
such is required to be done. The intention is to make these strips of studded
and eyeletted or otherwise arranged material in considerable lengths so that
users can purchase as much as they require and by attaching a piece of one
kind to one of the bands and a piece of the other kind to the other band, to thus
provide means whereby the bodice and skirt to which the bands belong may be
fastened together.
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
1 claim is:-
1. The improved method of attaching together bodice and skirt bands by
fastening to one of the bands a studded strip of material and to the other of them
a pierced eyeletted or otherwise arranged strip to receive the heads of the studs
on the opposing band, substantially as described in the above specification and
exemplified in the accompanying drawings.
2. As new articles of commerce for use in attaching bodice and skirt bands
together by the method claimed in the above Claim 1, strips of suitable material
having attached thereto studs of any suitable kind and to be used therewith,
similar strips of material containing holes, eyelets or other provisions for receiving
and retaining in an unfastenable manner the heads of the studs on the other
strips, substantially as described in the above specification and exemplified by
the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 11th day of December 1899.
