ABSTRACT:
A pet collar is provided with an indicia bearing surface through which a plurality of apertures are provided. Indicia bearing stud assemblies are securable to the collar along the indicia bearing surface. Each stud assembly includes a stud member and a stud-backing member. The stud member has a flat plate on which indicia is printed. A post extends from the surface opposite to the indicia bearing surface of the plate. The post has a generally rectangular cross-section and defines four post walls. Teeth extend from two oppositely facing post walls. The stud-backing member has a post receptacle and two resilient extension members extending into the post receptacle. Each resilient extension members has a plurality of teeth corresponding in shape, but facing opposite, the teeth of the stud post. The stud assembly is connected to the collar by extending the stud post through the aperture in the indicia bearing surface of the collar and by receiving the free end of the stud post in the post receptacle of the stud-backing member. Once received, the teeth of the stud post engage with the teeth of the stud-backing member to lock the stud to the stud-backing member with the collar therebetween.
