wearerof the cravat holder, the construction fill being vsuch that these initials .may be easily mounted by the retailer at the time of purchase of the cravat holder. I
Another object of the invention is the provision of a frame-like structure for removably mounting different characters therein whichwill be suspended between the ends of a chain which encircles the. tie, and which will serve by' reason of its weight when hung as a pendant to retain the flexible chain in a certain desired position about the tie while the same is in use, while. serving as an elongated link of the chain and enhancing the appearance of the device.
Another object of the invention is a very simple form of initial .frame made of a single piece of stock and including sideways, retaining fingers and eyes for mounting itin pendant relation.
Another object of the invention to provide means to positively space the characters pre-v the device Fig. 2 is. a front elevation of the devices re- 7 moved from the tie and shirt;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the blanked out form of stock for making the character frame; Fig. 4 is a perspective view looking at the back of the frame, after the portions at the top and.
bottom edges thereof have been folded into the desired position; 1
Fig. 5-is a section on line 5-5 of Figure 4;
Fig. 6 is a section on line 6-6 of Figure};- Fig.'lisaperspectiveview of two of the initials or characters in spaced relation;
Fig. 8 is a similar perspective view showing the character in contact'and spaced by the fins at the top and bottom;
Fig. 9 is a front elevation of a key chain shown as comprising the character frame which I have shownin the above figures.
It is frequently desirable in jewelry manufacture to provide some sort of a device for. en-
abling the article to be distinctive inone way or another, or to. particularly-apply toa certain person, such for instance as having some sort of a character or characters such as the initials of his name provided'on the article for this pur-. pose; and in order to employ such'distinction 5 I have provided a frame-like-structure capable of receiving initials which are removably mounted thereon in symmetrical relation and are held in position by bendable fingers, and I have, so formed this frame structure that all of 10 its parts are provided from a single piece of material, there being no soldering, riveting or other additional means necessary for the assembling of the frame, the same being merely shaped and bent into the required shape for the reception 15 of the initials, characters or other inserts into the structure, the same being particularly .adaptable for pending from a chain such as a cravat chain or other like relation; and the following is a more detailed description of the present embodiment of this invention, illustrating the. preferred means by which these advantageous results may be accomplished; With reference to the drawing, the character frame designated generally i0 is cutfrom asheet. 5
--of stock in the shape shown in Figure 3 providing a front plate II with an obverse opening i2. At the upper corners of this plate the stock extends outwardly to provide ears i3 each having an. opening i l therein for the attachment of some sort of means for suspending the frame from a chain or other'device, causing it to have a. pendant-like effect.
Between the cars it, the stock' I5 is folded to provides rearwardly extendingflange I 6 which is then again folded downwardly providing a lip l'i spaced from the rear surface It or the plate II and forming aguideway i! for sl ding the edge of the character thereinto, The stock 20 folded to provide a rearwardly extending flange 2land then is bent upwardlyproviding a lip 22 spaced from the surface'of the plate i8 and providing a channel 23 for the reception of the lower edge of a character 24 which may slid into the upper channel I! and lower channel 23 along the back of the frame or plate. j
' Each character is provided with an upper-and lower spacing fin 26 to fit beneath the lips on the frame, and this fin extends laterally on either side' of the character so as to abut with a like "fin on the next adjacent character and provide. a definite spaced relation between adjacent characters that a symmetrical location of these charalong the lower edge of the frame or plate is 40 acters in the frame may be had. This relation is shown in Figure '1.
Fingers are provided on the .ends of the ll 22 which may be forced against the back of the plate to form obstruction,, shown in Figure 4, to block the removal of t e characters 24 from the frame after being inserted therein.
In some cases,'-it will be ,desirable to attach to the connecting eyes ii a flexible element such as a chain 21' to suspend the frame from the opposite ends of "a clip "which may slide onto the shirt-or be provided with any means for fastening to the shirt, thus providing the initial frame in a cravat holder.
The particular structure-of cravat holder here shown consists of a front bar 29 of wire or the like and a rear jaw ill formed of another piece of wire which may be fastened thereto.
front bar is provided with eyes 3| and a ring 32 or any suitable means forattachment' of the flexible element.
In some "cases instead of mounting the character frame on a cra'vat holder, as shown in Figure 2, I may mount the frame on a chain 33 as shown ends of the flexible element 21 apart and in a definite relation and although it serves as a weight to hold the flexible elements in a certain definite relation, yet I prefer to form the chain of such weight relative to the frame that when the device is displayed, such as is shown in Figure 2, the chain will bow out by reason of its weight which occurs by reason of the frame being relatively light in comparison to the wire of the chain so' that when displayed the curved relation is had rather than a severe straight relation which would be had if the weight of the frame were sufiiciently heavy-to pull the chain 2'! taut.
This I The foregoing description is directed solely towards the construction illustrated, but I desire it to be understood that Ireserve the privilege of resorting to all the mechanical changes to which the device is susceptible, the invention being de- 5 finedand limitedonly by the termsof the appended claims.
I. claim: 1. A character mounting for jewelry comprising' a generally rectangular frame of sheet material, integral ears in the plane of the stock of the frame adjacent the upper corners thereof for suspending the frame, a guideway along the upper edge of the frame folded from the stock of the frame, and. a guideway at the lower edge of the frame folded from the sheet stock of the frame and provided with fingers located adjacent the lower corners of the frame'in balanced relation with reference to said ears and providing with said ears a symmetrical disposition of the sheet 20 stock for both suspending the frame and locking the characters in position.
2. A character mounting for jewelry comprising a generally rectangular frame of sheet mate- 'rial, integral ears in the plane of the stock of 25 the frame adjacent the upper corners thereof for suspending the frame, a guide way along the the frame folded from the sheet stock of the frame and provided with fingers located adjacent the lower comers of the frame, said ears and fingers being at least partially within the plane of the vertical edges of said frame and symmetrically disposed of said frame with reference to each other.
3. A character mounting for jewelry-comprising a generally rectangular frame of sheet ma-- terial, integral ears atthe upper portion thereof for suspending the frame, a guideway along the 40 upper edge of the frame folded from the stock of the frame, and a guideway at the lower edge of the frame folded from the sheet stock ofthe frame and fingersadjacent the end of thelower guideways in balanced relation withreferenee to said ears and providing with said ears a s; 1- metrical disposition of the sheet stockr for both suspending the frame and locking the characters in position.
