SPECIFICATION forming part of Reissued Letters Patent No. 11,330, dated 'May 2, 1893. Original No. 489,671, dated January 10, 1893. Application for reissue filed February 9, 1893. Serial No. I161,707-

DIvIsIoN B.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, l-IENRY 7. FISHEL, of New York city, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and'lmproved Bontonniere, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to improvemcnts in boutonnieres or buttonhole bouquets; and the object of my invention is to produce a simple device of this kind in which the fiower is artificial, which is adapted to be easily attached to or detached from the buttonhole of a garment, which is constructed in such a way that it is strong and durable and not Very .liable to fall apart, which is made so that only the fiower is visible on the exterior of a garment, and which is adapted to perfectly simulate a natural fiower.

To these ends my invention consists in the particular construction and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying d rawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar figures of referenceindicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the application of the boutonniere to the coat of a man. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view of the boutonniere. Fig. 3 is a side elevation, with parts in section; and Fig. 4 is asectional elevation of the boutonniere having its stud provided with a lever base.

The inven-tion consists in part of a stud having the usual stem 10, a base 11 in the center of which the stem is secured, and a socket 12 held to the onter end of the stem and adapted to carry the flower 13. The fiower 13 may be made to simulate any fiower and its leaves may be conveniently made of celluloid, although the fiower and the entire devicecmay be made of porcelain, metal, or any suitable material. The leaves of the fiower are preferably held together by a split pin 1a which leaves, and the prongs 15 of which diverg'e and are held in slots in the socket 12. The base of the fiower conforms exteriorly to the shape of the socket so that it fits firmly there- Vin, and if desired the flowermaybe cemented to the socket, as shown in Fig. 4 instead of .being fastened to the pin.

In Figs. 2 and 3 I have shown a stud with arfixed base 11, but it may have a lever base 11a like the ordinary lever studs, or the stud may be of any approved construction. It will be seen that the fiower is held firmly to the stud socket, and when applying the boutonniere to a garment it is only necessary to insert the base of the stud in the buttonhole.

I am aware that artificial fiowers with movable leaves have been attached to tubes, such being shown in the patent to Potts, No. 190,248, dated May 1, 1877, but such fiowers are poorly adapted for use as boutonnires, as the petals soon get loose and the construction is defective and expensive. The boutonniere elnbodying my invention, on the other hand, is Very strong and compact and may be very cheaply made.

Having thus describe'd my i'nvention, I claim asfnew and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A boutonniere comprising astud having a base and a stemV and an artificial fiower cemented to said stud, substantially as specified.

2. A boutonnire comprisinga'stud having a base, a stem and a socket, or support and an artificial fiower having its base conforming eXteriorly to the Shape of the lsocket or support and cemented to said socket or sup' i
