Magnetic Collar Stud Assembly

Abstract

There is provided in a preferred embodiment of the present invention a collar stud assembly comprising a spherical magnet and an outer assembly. The outer assembly includes a frame which houses a magnet. The magnet of the frame and the spherical magnet are of opposite polarities and hold an inner collar and an outer collar of shirt between them when engaged. The outer assembly further includes an indent which holds the spherical magnet in a fixed position relative to the outer assembly.

1 . A collar stud assembly for selectively securing a collar to a shirt without requiring any slits in the shirt, the assembly comprising:
 an outer assembly, the outer assembly including a frame, a cover and a first magnet having a first polarity; and   a second magnet, the second magnet having a second polarity opposite to the first polarity;   wherein the frame includes an indent, the indent adapted to match the shape of the second magnet.   
     
     
         2 . The collar stud assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the second magnet is spherical. 
     
     
         3 . The collar stud assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the indent is concave and matches the curvature of the spherical second magnet. 
     
     
         4 . The collar stud assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the first magnet is a button magnet. 
     
     
         5 . A method of adjusting the position of a shirt collar from a first position on a shirt to a second position on the shirt, the method comprising the steps of:
 positioning a first magnet inside the shirt and a second magnet opposite the first magnet outside the shirt collar, wherein the first magnet is magnetically attracted to the second magnet;   moving all of the collar, the first magnet and the second magnet, relative to the shirt, wherein the first magnet remains opposite the second magnet, and fixed relative to the collar.   
     
     
         6 . The method of adjusting the position of a collar of  claim 5 , wherein the first magnet is spherical in shape. 
     
     
         7 . The method of adjusting the position of a collar of  claim 5 , wherein the second magnet includes an indent sized to match the shape of the first magnet. 
     
     
         10 . A pair of magnetically adhered collar stud assemblies arranged for display or storage, comprising:
 a first outer assembly, the first outer assembly including a frame, a cover and a first magnet having a first polarity; and   a second magnet, the second magnet having a second polarity opposite to the first polarity;   a second outer assembly, the second outer assembly including a frame, a cover and a third magnet having the first polarity;   a fourth magnet, the fourth magnet having the first polarity;   wherein the first outer assembly is magnetically adhered to the second magnet, the second magnet is magnetically adhered to the fourth magnet, and the fourth magnet is magnetically adhered to the second outer assembly.   
     
     
         11 . The pair of magnetically adhered collar stud assemblies arranged for display or storage of  claim 10 , wherein the second magnet and the fourth magnet are spherical magnets.
