No. 502,855. 4 Patented Aug. 8,1893;

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

HENRY W. FISHEL, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

BOUTONNPERE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 502,855, dated August 8, 1893.

Application filed May 26, 1893. Serial No. 475,585. (No specimens.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY W. FISHEL, of New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Boutonnieres, of which the following is a specification.

I will describe a boutonniere embodying my improvement and then point out the novel features in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a sectional side View of a boutonniere embodying my improvement. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a stud. Fig. 3 is a sectional side view illustrating a modification. Fig. 4 is a sectional side view illustrating another modification.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures.

A designates a stem or post.

B designates a shoe or back plate.

0 designates a socket.

D designates a nipple and E designates an artificial flower.

The stem or post is longitudinally tapering toward the front end. The socket is made independently in the form of a plate andis slipped onto the tapering portion of the stem or post. It may be driven on or it may be provided internally with a screwthread to fit the screwthread on the tapering portion of the stem or post, as shown in Fig. 3. Inside the flower, the thin end of the stem is provided with a lateral projection. This may be made by driving upon it a plate F, or, if it is screwthreaded, a nut may be applied, as shown in Fig. 3. A projection may be formed by bending the extremity of the stem or post, as, for instance, by splitting the post and bending its bifurcat-e portions laterally, as represented in Fig. 4, or a projection may be formed by upsetting the end of the post or clinching an extra piece on to the same.

The shoe may be made by bending the rear extremity of the stem or post into'a spiral, or a separate plate may be driven on the stem or post. In the latter case, the shoe may be driven onto the stem, especially if the stem or post is tapered rearwardly, and afterward the extremity of the stem or post may be upset or clinched outside the shoe plate.

What I claim as my invention,.and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a boutonniere, the combination with a flower, of a stud having a stem vor post tapering toward its forward end, a socket consisting of an independent plate fitted to the stem or post, so that the stem or post will extend upward of it to form a nipple and a lateral projection applied to the nipple inside the flower, substantially as specified.

2. In a boutonniere, the combination with a flower, of a rearwardly tapering stem or post and a shoe consisting of an independent plate fitted thereto, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

HENRY W. FISHEL.
