V y p V The invention further, contemplates a device of the character described, which is extremely simple in its construction and which is inexpensive to manufacture and produce;

With the above, recited and 'other objects in View, the-invention resides in the novel construction set forth in thefollowing specification, particularly pointed out in the appended claiins and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, 'it'beingunderstood that the right isreserved to embodiments other than those actually illustrated hereinto the full extent indicated by the general meaning of the terms in which: the claims are ex-r 2-2 of Fig. 1 andillustrating thelapplica tion of the collar-to'the shirt by means of the improved fastener. a at ,7

. a collar fastener which operates to effectively attach, the collar to the usual guard pocket at the .4 is a detail perspective view of the Ic1aim 1. As" anew article 'of' inanufacture,- a j" I 1 .collarfastening device consisting of-alength 615.922.;seasiiajigasuia l former. bein buttonhole g I 7 u a neckbandE which is provided with the usual rear. guard pocket F; i 5 l a a aagoaagioisa eei argfjaie provided with the usual rear D: designates a 's'hirtjhaving The fastener constituting. the invention 7 consists of, a substantially inverted v shapedfl hook 10zincluding divergent arms 11 con-i nected together at their upper; ends by abight 12. The lower ends of thearms'11 are provided with upwardlybent and laterally I inclined portions 13, the terminals of which, are curved inwardly as a-t l lrand'thenc'e I downward-1y as at. 15 to provide parallel'end legs 15. The juncture of the terminals 14 with the portions 13 produces a shoulder 16;

The fastening device is preferably con-' stru'cted from a single length of wire bent I "into the shape heretofore set forth. jln practics-the bight'12 ofthe hook 10 is first i serted through the buttonhole from the o t 1 H side ofthe inner fold until the lower 'extremities of the legs are disposed in the same plane with the buttonhole; The lower I fextremities are then forced through the a 1 'buttonhole and'thelaterally-inclinedpor- 7 tions 13' are'then forced dr w rdlyto lie inside of the inner fold A of the 00.11 i S:
