WILLIAM 0. EDGE, OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEY.
BRACELET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent 1\To. 223,669, dated January 20, 1880.
' Application filed September 6, 1879.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM 0. EDGE, of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have in vented an Improvement in Bracelets, of which the following is a speci fication.
Figure l isa face view, partly in section, of
.my improved bracelet, showingit contracted.
Fig. 2 is a similar view of the same, showing it extended. Fig.3 is a detail perspective interior view of two connected links'or sections thereof. Fig. etis adetail cross-section of part nevertheless, is easily enlarged to be slipped over the hand and contracted to nicely fit the arm of its wearer.
The invention principally consists in uniting the sections of an expansible and contractible sectional bracelet by means of one or more lazy-ton gs, curved to correspond with the curve of the bracelet.
The lazy-tongs will readily maintain the position into which they are placed, and will, as I have ascertained, retain their proper function, even though the curve into which they are bent be enlarged in extending or reduced in contracting the bracelet.
The bracelet represented in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4 is composed of a series of sections, a a, of precious metal or other material. These sections are hollow and overlap one another, scalefashion, as shown. They are united by inner lazy-tongs, A, which, passing through the entire bracelet, connect with the respective sections by the central pivots, b b, as shown.
The lazy-tongs are, of course, curved to correspond to' the circle of the bracelet.
dle b with the section 6.
By contracting the lazy-tongs, as in Fig. l,
Thus the braceletis easily made large enough to i be put on or taken off, and again smaller to remain on the arm,withoutrequiring either hinge or clasp. The bracelet is, consequently, not liable to be lost off the arm, nor apt to getout of orderthe two most serious defects ofclaspbracelets.
Instead of making the bracelet of a larger number of sections, as in Figs. 1 and 2, it may be made of two pieces only, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, one of which pieces, e, contains the lazy-tongs, that connect at the ends with the ends (I of the other section, f, and at the mid- The ends (I slide more or less out ofand into the hollow section e whenever the bracelet is to be enlarged or contracted.
I claim 1. A sectional bracelet constructed of two or more curved sliding sections, which are connected to lazy-tongsA, all arranged so that said sections may be drawn apart or moved together and held in the desired position by means of said lazy-tongs, substantially asspecified.
2. The combination of the hollow overlapping sections a act a bracelet with the curved lazy-tongs A, and with the pins 1) b thereof,
which connect said sections tosaid lazy-tongs,
substantially as herein shown and described.
