Application filed March 12, 1921. Serial No. 451,900. v
- tho-ugh not necessarily, for use in conjunction with a wrist watch to fasten the-latter on the wrist, andone in which'very little precious metal need be employed notwithstanding the fact that all of the exposed portion of the construction is preferably formed of precious metal.
To the attainment of the foregoing, the invention consists in the improvement as hereinafter described and definitely claimed.
"In the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof r 1 Figure 1 is a plan view showing our-novel bracelet construction as attached at its ends to a wrist watch.
-Figure 2 is a longitudinal central section taken through the bracelet construction.
Figure 2 is a fragmentary edge elevation of the bracelet construction showing the extent to which two of the hollow exterior members of the bracelet construction are adapted to flex relatively to the similar member between them.
Figure 3 is an enlarged interior view of the bracelet construction.
Figure 4: is a transverse section taken on.
the line 4-4: of Figure 3, looking toward the right.
Figure 5 is a perspective of one of the links comprised in the bracelet construction and which may be made of any inexpensive strong metal or alloy appropriate toits purose. p Figure 6 is an inverted perspective on an enlarged scale of one of the hollow exterior members of the bracelet construction, as said 7 member precedent to the flaring thereof;
Figure 7 is a perspective showing one of the link connectorsof the -"construction as said connectors appear precedent to being bent into loop form shown in Figures 3, 4: and 5.
Similar numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all of the views of the drawings.
The wrist watch 1 illustrated is not of our invention, and we would have it distinctly understoodthat without involving departure from, the scope of our invention our bracelet construction may be fastened at its ends to the wrist watch in any appropriate manner. WVe would also have it distinctly understood that it is within the purview of our inven: tion to embody our novel construction in a bracelet per sei. e., a bracelet that is endless or one the ends of'whic'h are adapted to be connected together in any appropriate manner.
The bracelet construction which constie tutes our real invention is made upof links 3 which may be and preferably are formed of strong metal, connectors 4 which may be and preferably are also formed ofstrong metal, and exteriorhollow members '5 which may be and preferably are formed offgold or some other precious metal. ,Our inven tion contemplates the removal of all strain from the members 5 notwithstanding the said members 5 are strongly connected together in a longitudinal series, and from this it follows that the members 5 may be made very thin-so that the bracelet will pre-v sent the appearance of an expensive bracelet, and yet may embody but a very smalljquan-v tity of precious-metal. It will be observed by comparison of Figures 1 to 6 that the links 3 are open'links, and that the connec tors 4 are nothing more than strips. of strong thin metal bent into loop form so as to liingedly connect the contiguous transverse bars of adjoining links 3; and it will also be noticed that the members 5 are each provided with an outer wall or body 6,-transverse or end walls 7 in which are openings 8, and side walls 9 the inner corners of which are beveled as indicated by 10. The links 3 are arranged one in each member 5, and the connectors 4 are adapted to embrace the end bars of adjoining links as well as the end bars 7 of adjoining members 5. It will also be observed that the walls 9 of the members 5 are provided with inwardly directed flanges 11, arranged flush with the exposed Maniin Figure 8. In consequence of this the bracelet construction is adapted to flex to approximately the extent illustrated in Figure 2, and from this it follows that the invention to make the connectors 4 or portions of said connectors 4 of precious metal so that "the'portionsof the connectors exposed between the "ends of the members 5 when the bracelet is flexed will not detract from the finished appearance of the bracelet.
7 Having described our invention, what we.
claim and desire to secure by Letters-Patent,
1. A} bracelet construction comprising open links, hollow exterior members each receiving one link and having end bars1,-and connectors each receiving the end bars of contiguous end bars of adjoining links and the contiguous end bars of adjoining hollow exterior members. I 2;A bracelet construction comprising open links, hollow exterior members each receiving one link and having end bars, and connectors each receiving the end bars of contiguousfend-bars of adjoining links and the contiguous end bars of adjoining hollow exterior members the hollow exterior members also having flanges reaching inwardly from their side walls and arranged flush with the connectors, and the connections between the links and the hollow exterior members being flexible.
3. A bracelet construction comprising open links, hollow exterior members each receiving one link and having end bars, and
connectors each. receiving the end bars of contiguous end bars of adjoining links and without liability of'strain being imposed on the same. b i
" 5. A bracelet construction the exterior of which is formed of members of relatively precious metal and the interior of which is formed of a chain, whereby the exterior members are flexibly connected together without liability of strain being imposed on the same; the said exterior members cover ing the chain at the outer side and side edges of the bracelet. i
6. A bracelet construction the exterior of which is formed of members of relatively precious metal and the interior of which is formed of a chain, whereby the exterior members are flexibly connected together without liability of strain being imposed on the same; the said exterior members covering the chain at the outer side and side edges of the bracelet, and being'provided" with inwardly directed longitudinal flanges arranged flush with portions ofthe chain.
In testimony whereof we aflix our signatures.
