WATCH BRACELET Filed May 25, 1935 E211... W Y
Patented Dec. 25, 1934 UNITED STATES" waron naaoswr Charles Feid, North Attleboro, Masa, assignor to Harold E. Sweet, Attleboro, Mass, doing business as Mass.
R. F. Simmons Company, Attleboro,
Application May 25, 193s, Serial No, 672.762 4 Claims. (01. 224-4) This invention relates to watch bracelets and the primary object thereof is to provide a bracelet of improved construction wherein the means for holding the same on the wrist of the wearer is 5 composed of a pair of tensioned wings, which latter may be readily moved to open position to enable the watch to be applied, and which eifectively retain the watch on the wrist in wear.
. The invention further aims to provide a device of this kind which is of simple and economical construction, which is compact, and which is possessed of a minimum of parts that are efiicient in operation.
In the drawing:- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the invention; Figure 2 is a fragmentary plan view, partly broken away, of one form of theinvention;
Figure 3' is a section on line 3-3 of Figure 2, Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 3 of a modi- 20 fled form of the invention; and
Figure 5 is a detail end elevation of the watch in accordance with the modified form of the invention of Figure 4.
In proceeding in accordance with the present invention the watch case W is provided with two wings 2, which latter may overlap as shown in Figure 1, and are pivotally connected to pintles 3 that are carried by the watch case. Each wing is formed with a housing 4 in which is secured 0 the casing 14 which contains a coil spring 5 of substantially U-shape, the closed end or bight of the spring being engaged with a headed anchoring pin 6 that is secured to the wing 2. A guide bar '7 is also secured to the-casing 14 and extends 35 transversely across the free end portions of the only difference between the two being that in the modified form the loop 20 not only functions to afford a pivotal mounting for the wing 21 but also to anchor the clip 22 to the: watchcase, thereby eliminating socketing of the watchcase 5 as disclosed in Figures 2-3.
From the foregoing it will be seen that the wings are positively tensioned with all of the parts in compact relation so as to afford a more efficient action and operation of the tensioning means in wear.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In combination with a wrist .watch, and a pair of wrist-engaging wings, means to pivotally connect the wings to the respective opposite ends of the watch,a coil spring for each wing of substantially U-shape, a member connected to each wing and engaging in the closed end of the U- shaped spring, a guide member for each spring connected to the wing and extending transversely across the free end portions of the spring to hold the latter from movement away from the wing, a clip connected to each of the free end portions 2 of eachof the springs and having a hook-like part, 'and'means whereby to connect each of the hook-like parts to the watch,
'2. In combination with a wrist watch, and a pair of wrist-engaging wings, means to pivotally connect the wings to the respective opposite ends of the watch, a coil spring for eachwing of substantially U-shape, a member connected to each wing and engaging in the closed end of the U- shaped spring, a guide member for each spring spring to hold same against movement away from J connected to the wing and extending transversely catch. From the foregoing it will be seen that the spring is directly connected to the watchcase.
In the modified form of the invention shown in Figure 4 a loop 20 is'provided to which the wing 21 is pivoted, the loop being rigidly secured to the watch case and has one side thereof formed with a central offset 21 to engage the hook-like part 22 of the anchoring clip 23;
The structure otherwise is similar to that disclosed in the preferred form of the invention, the
desired manner, for example by means of a snap across the free end portions of the spring to hold the latter from movement awayfrom the wing, a clip connected to each of the free end portions of the springs and having a'hook-likepart, and sockets carried by the watch to engage the hook-'- like parts.
3.' In combination with a wrist watch, a pair of wrist-engaging wings, means to pivotally connect the wings to the respective opposite ends of the watch, a coil spring for each wing of substantially U-shape', a member connected to each wing and engaging in the closed'end of the U- having a central offset-part on one side thereof for engagement with the hook-like part of the clip.
4. In combination with a wrist watch, a pair of wrist engaging wings, means to pivotaily connect the wings to the respective opposite ends of the watchcase, a coil spring for each wing of subto the watch each ineluding a hook-like element stantiaiiy' U-shape, a member connected to each wing and engaging in the closed end of the U-shaped spring, an anchoring member connected to each of the free ends of the springs, and means to connect the anchoring members to the watch.
CHARLES FEID.
