Application January 26, 1949, Serial No. 72,806
This invention relates to a case for holding and protecting wrist watches, pocket watches, in dicators, and the like.
The object of the invention is to provide a case for holding wrist watches, pocket watches, indicators and the like in such a manner that they will be protected against shock, dampness, magnetism and foreign matter.
Another object of the invention is to provide a watch-holding case which made of transparent material, such as plastic, so that the dial of the instrument is clearly displayed at all times.
A further object of the invention is to provide a watch protector which is extremely simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of the following description;
In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this application, and in which like numerals have been employed to designate like parts throughout the same:
1 Claim. (Cl. 206-4) Figure 1 is atop plan view of the case in closed position, with a watch therein, according to the present invention;
Figure 2 is a side elevational view of the watchholding and protecting case;
Figure 3 is a top plan view showing the case in open position;
Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Figure 3; V
Figure 5 is an enlarged sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Figure 1.
Referring in detail to the drawings, the numeral I0 designates a first open-topped housing made of a transparent material. A second opentopped housing l2 fabricated of transparent material is hingedly connected to the first housing Ill. The hinge means may vary in different models of the invention, but in the model shown, the hirfige means comprises a pair of spaced, parallel afrhs l3 which project from one end ,oflthe housing 10, and each arm I3 is provided with 'a' hole l5. A second pair of spaced, parallel arms l4 project from the second housing [2. Each of the arms I4 is provided with an extrusion which is shown in the model to be semi-cylindrical, but the shape may vary. The extrusions seat} in the holes 15 so that a hinged connection or ball-andsocketjoint is provided. The second housing is provided with a circumferentially-extending cutout I! for receiving an upstanding rim ll which extends around the housing [0 when the housings are in closed position to thereby provide a fluid-tight connection between the housings for protecting a watch l8 therein. However,
in place of the rim I l and cutout I1 shown, other closure means may be used. Thus, the housing l2 may be shaped so that it overlaps a portion of the housing II] when the device is closed. Further, the pair of housings may be constructed so that their meeting edges are flush when the case is closed to form a fluid-tight connection.
For releasably locking the housings l0 and [2 in their closed position, a suitable lock is provided. In the drawings, the model illustrated shows the look as including a projection or nose l9 fixed on the exterior of the first housing ID. A lug 20 is secured to the other housing 12, and the lug is provided with a socket or hole 2| for receiving the projection l9 when the housings are in closed position. A hook 22 provided with an eye may be threaded into the lug 20 and a suitable chain or cord (not shown) may be attached to the hook for carrying the device.
Positioned within the first housing I0 is a pad 23 fabricated of rubber or other suitable resilient material. The pad 23 may be arranged in engagement with the folded watch strap 24, Figure 5, so that the watch I8, when held in the case, cannot shift or move in anydirection, and cannot be damaged or injured by jars or jolts while being carried.
From the foregoing, it will be apparent that a transparent case has been provided for holding a wrist watch, pocket watch, indicator or the like therein to protect the article against shock, foreign matter, heat, rust, dampness, and rough handling. Further, watches or other similar instruments of various sizes can be held within the case. The watch, or other article, when held in the case, is protected, and the dial thereof can be read through the transparent housing.
As many embodiments may be made of this inventive concept, and as many modifications may be made in the embodiment hereinbefore shown and described, it is to be understood that all matter herein is to be interpreted merely as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
I claim:
In a case for protecting an instrument, a first open-topped housing fabricated of transparent material adapted to hold said instrument, a second open-topped housing hingedly connected to said first housing fabricated of transparent material and adapted to be moved into and out of closing relation with the open top of the latter, means for releasably locking said first and second housings together, said last-named means comprising a projection on said first housing, a lug secured to said second housing, said lug be- REFERENCES CITED The following references are of record in the file of this patent:
