CARRIER TERMINAL Filed Aug. 17 1951 L% 1- Q INVENTOR Kai 2k l alciizz' ATTORNEY Patented Feb. 21, 1933 RALPH POLCINI, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
CARRIER TERMINAL Application filed August 17, 1931.
This invention relates to jewelry devices in general and particularly to cord, string, wire or chain terminals, 7 adapted to be employed in connection with necklaces.
The prime object of my invention is to provide a device of a simple, inexpensive and effective construction, Which is adapted to facilitate association therewith of enlarged or knotted ends of strings, cords, wires, chains or other carriers for heads or other ornamentations serving as necklaces, and to further facilitate the association therewith of clasps closures or the like.
Another object of this invention is to provide a carrier terminal in the form of a simple stamping, so shaped as to form a cup portion and loop portion, the latter integral with the former, and to equip said cup portion with a radial slot for readily inserting thereinto the knotted or enlarged end of the carrier, without the necessity of passing the carrier into the cup member prior to being knotted or enlarged. 4
Another object of my invention is to so i provide the slotted cup portion of the terminal as to facilitate itssqueezing together, whereby the enlarged carrier end, passed thereinto, is held within the cup by the ap- 1 proximation of the edges of the slot provided therein.
Another object of my invention is to so arrange the integral loop portion of the ter minal, as to facilitate its joining the slot of ;the cup member, and thus to forma fully a closed loop to which may be attached a closing device for the necklace. I
The foregoing and still further objects will become more fully apparent from the j following description and the accompanying drawing, forming part of my disclosure, butby no means intended to limit same to the specific illustrations, of which Fig. 1 is a side elevation of my device.
Fig, 2 is a front elevation thereof, show ing the slot, and the loop member engaged in the slot. a p

lar to that shown in Fig. l, with one loop end disengaged partially from the cup member.
Fig. 6 illustrates a bottom view of the cup member, in which the latter is shown squeezed together and where the slot edges approximate one another.
Fig. 7 illustrates a modified form of my terminal with a difierent loop and slot con struction.
Fig. 8 illustrates still another modification of my terminal. 7 h
Fig. 9 illustrates a bottom view of Fig. '8. Fig. 10 is another modification of my device showing the loop at right angles to the slot provided in the cup portion, and
Fig. 11 illustrates the application of my device in connection with a wired necklace. In the manufacture of strung necklaces, a good deal of annoyance and difiicultyi is experienced in properly attaching adequate closing devices for such jewelry, in that the ends of the wires, strmgs, cords or chains, supporting the ornaments must be neatly secured to the two ends of the closing device or clasps, and their attachment must be ar ranged properly so as to prevent their disengagement from the necklace. In order tofacilitate making a neat end connection for such jewelry, the present invention is designed to permit the finishing of the necklace, and particularly its carrier, to the very end thereof, which is either knotted or otherwise enlarged. H
I In this manner the necklace may be finv ished completely, without fear that some $5 of the ornaments may slip from the carrier, since the knotted or enlarged ends thereof prevent such disengagement. This proce dure is not only extremely practical, but in I case of expensive ornaments, an actual necessity, as it prevents undue losses of restringing, and permits handling of the strung necklaces in a much safer and more handier way. This method also permits the accumulation of prepared necklaces to be delivered The cup member is slotted as indicated at y 14, which slot is preferably radial and terminates at the apex 15 of the cup member. The slot in these illustrations is disposed in the direction of loop member 12.
As will be readily conceivable, the cup portion of my device represents a hollow shell into which may be readily housed an enlargement or a knot formed at the end of the carrier, as plainly indicated in Fig. 11. In this figure is shown a carrier 16 in the form of a wire, the ends of which are knotted at 17 and are inserted in the cup portions 10 of my terminal member, while loops 12 are now in proper, closed position, the ends 13 of which being in engagement with slot 14 of the cup member.
It will be observed from Fig. 5 that the loop 12 is open and that its end 13 extends above the edge of the cup member 10. This position is shown to indicate that prior to inserting a carrier end, the loop member remains open. In Fig. 6 it will beseen that the slot 14 is narrower at its upper edges, since the cup portion 10 was squeezed, as it normally would be after inserting the carrier and after placing the loop end 13 in the upper end of the slot.
In the modified form shown in Fig. 7 it will be observed that the loop portion 10 is similar to that shown in Fig. 1. However, slot 14 is shaped at its upper end 18 to form a swallow tail enlargement, in which latter fits end 13 of loop 12, which is shaped similarly. Through this interlocking engagement between slot 14 and the end 13 of the loop, a permanent juncture is eifected be tween loop and cup, which may be accentuated by slightly squeezing the cup.
A similar arrangement is shown in Fig ures 8 and 9 where again a loop member 10 is shown, provided with a slot 1a which is somewhat enlarged at 19 so as to facilitate the insertion of the carrier end. The loop end 13 is shaped correspondingly and is intended to effect an interlocking engagement between cup and loop.
A somewhat different construction is illustrated in Fig. 10, in which a cup member 20 is shown, provided with a radial slot 21 which is disposed at right angles to the direction of loop 22. The latter is made so that its ends are permanently associated at two diametrically opposite points of the cup edge, as indicated at 23. The broken lines 21 indicate the brought-together edges of slots 21, caused by squeezing the cup member 20 after insertion of the carrier end.
While I have shown various modifications of my device, it becomes readily evident that still further improvements and changes may be incorporated therein, and I therefore reserve for myself the right to make such changesand modifications without departing from the broad scope of my idea, covered by the annexed claims.
I claim:
1. In a device of the class described, an integral stamping formed into a slotted cup and a loop, the latter extending from a. solidedge point of the cup towards the slot formed therein, said slot being of uniform width and extending radially from the apex to the edge of the cup, the width of the open slot corresponding substantially to the width of the loop.
2. In a device of the class described, an integral stamping formed into a slotted cup and a loop, the latter extending from a solid edge point of the cup into the slot formed therein.
3. In a device of the class described, an integral stamping formed into a slotted cup and a loop, the latter extending from a solid edge point of the cup into the slot formed therein, said cup adapted to be squeezed so that its slotted edges approximate one another.
4. A terminal for carrier ends of chains, ornaments or the like, comprising an integral cup and loop structure, its cup portion provided with a radial slot extending from its apex to its edge, its loop portion disposed in the plane of said slot and comprising a single element extending from the solid edge of the cup portion to its slotted edge.
' 5. A device of the class described, comprising a cupmember and a single loop member integral therewith, said cup member having a slot extending radially from its apex to its edge, said loop member and said slot disposed in the same plane, said loop member adapted, when in use, to extend from the solid edge of the cup member to the slotted edge thereof. I
6. A device of the class described, comprising a cup member and a single loop member integral therewith, said cup member having a slot extending radially from its apex to its edge, said loop member and said slot disposed in the same plane, said loop member adapted, when in use, to extend from the solid edge of the cup member to the slot ted edge thereof, and into engagement with the edges at the end of said slot.
7 The combination with a carrier for or naments or the like provided with enlargements at its ends, of a carrier terminal adapted to engage said carrier and to accommodate one of said carrier enlargements, and comprising an integral stamping composed of a cup and a loop, the former provided with a radial slot, extending from its apex to its edge and adapted to facilitate the insertion and the retention of a carrier end, said loop disposed in the plane of said slot and adapted to approximate or contact with its free end the edges at the end of said slot,
thereby preventing said carrier enlargement from disengaging said cup.
8. The combination with a carrier for ornaments, chains or the like provided with engagement elements at its ends, of a carrier terminal adapted to facilitate the insertion of the carrier and the retention of one of its engagement elements, said carrier terminal comprising a cup provided with a radial, compressible slot, extending from the apex to the edge of the cup, and a closeable loop, forming an integral part of the cup, in alignment with and engageable by the edges at the end of the slot. In testimony whereof RALPH PoLoINI affixes his signature.
