Benefits of technology

The present invention aims to provide an improved magnetic collar stud assembly that can secure a shirt collar better than existing devices. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a more secure and effective way to keep a shirt collar in place.

Problems solved by technology

The traditional collar studs are limited for several reasons.
First, the traditional collar studs require a pair of slits in the shirt collar for inserting the thin rod.
Thus, traditional collar studs cannot be worn on shirts that do not have specially made slits in the collar.
Second, traditional collar studs are limited to a fixed position—the position of the slits.
It is not possible to position traditional collar studs other than at the slits without forming additional slits on the collar, which would be unsightly.
The magnet disclosed in Boos is flat and may be difficult to handle with one's fingers.
The device of Eisenpresser lacks a mechanism for holding the magnets in place beyond their inherent magnetic attractive forces.
Further, similar to the device of Boos, the Eisenpresser device is flat and may be difficult to handle with one's fingers.
