UNITED STATES ABRAHAM COTLER, 0F BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

PENDANT WA'IGHGASE.

Application filed February 21, 1924.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM. COTLER, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of 1578 48th Street, in the borough of Brooklyn and in the county of Kings, city and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pendant IVatchcases, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to novelties in watch cases, and especially to the class in which a watch case is made to resemble a miniature handbag, and the main object of my invention is to provide a watch case novelty which is so similar to a handbag as to include the frames on front and back, the purse lock and in some cases, a bottom fringe.

The novelty and incidental utility of the invention will become more fully apparent as the specification proceeds.

In the accompanying drawing, the same reference numerals indicate the same or identical parts throughout the views.

Fig. 1 is a view of a watch case so made as to incorporate my invention.

Fig. 2 is a view of the reverse side of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a side view of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4: is a view of another watch case embodying my invention, while Fig. 5 is a reverse view of the same.

Fig. 6 is a side View of Fig. 4.

Fig. 7 is a view of a third form of watch case made to embody my invention.

Fig. 8 is a reverse View of the same watch case.

Fig. 9 is a similar view of a modification of the rear of Fig. 7.

In making watch cases, several factors are necessarily considered, such as novelty, utility, and reliability, the form of the case being partly the determining feature regarding the size and kind of movement which it is possible to install into the same. The form of a miniature handbag or purse adapt-s itself admirably to such a use, and is the subject of my former application filed December 23, 1922, Serial No. 608,786; said application being di *ided, and the present one including features not covered therein.

In the practise of my invention, I employ a case 1, and provide the same with abottom projection 3 and a frame structure 2. On the top of the case I secure a pair of eyes 55 to which I attach a chain or cord Serial No. 694,384.

6-6. The other part of the case 8 is provided at the upper part with a frame portion 7, and with a dial 9. When the movement is installed, the stem wind 4 thereof may project from the top or any other part of the case found suitable. The two halves of the case are hinged at 10 and may, of course be made of any suitable ornamental and valuable metal.

In Figs. r to 6 inclusive, the main part of the class 13 has an upper structure 12 and a pair of oppositely located prongs 11-11 to resemble a purse lock. On the reverse side, the other part 17 of the case has an upper structure 15 and a dial 16. Below, a fringe 141 is attached to heighten the resemblance to one class of handbag. The stem wind 4% and the suspension means 5 and 6 are the same as in the former case.

In the next two views the case 18 has a dial 20 and an upper frame 19, and on the other side 21 has an upper structure 22. The suspension means are the same as before.

In Fig. 9. the rear of the case 21 is the same as in Fig. 8, but the upper structure is here made to resemble the flap of another class of handbags, and may be in relief or may simply be outlined or otherwise indicated on part 21.

Having thus described my invention. 1 claim,

1. A watch case comprising a pair of case members adapted to enclose a watch move ment. a watch dial on one of said members and frame structure upon the upper portio of each of said members and suspension means whereby to support said case.

2. A watch case comprising a pair of members, a frame structure upon the upper portion of both said case members, a stem wind projecting from said case, a dial on one of said members and a pendant projection from the bottom of said case in the form of a fringe.

3. A watch case including a pair of case members, a watch dial on one of said members, an upper frame structure upon both of said members and means to suspend said case as an ornament.

Signed in the borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, in the city and State of New York this 20th day of February, 1924.

ABRAHAM COTLER.
