No. 497,911 18 Claims. (Cl. 24-230) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A snap clasp for bracelets includes a V-shaped spring catch with a free end that wedges into engagement with an opening in a keeper plate.
This invention relates to jewelry and more particularly to a clasp for hollow bracelets.
One object of the invention is to provide a clasp of simple construction which can be easily attached to a bracelet.
Another object of the invention is to provide a bracelet clasp having self-centering features which will insure positive alignment of the two sections of a bracelet when closed.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a spring clasp for bracelets having a wedging locking opera tion which will securely close a bracelet without any gap between the abutting sections.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a hollow bracelet clasp fabricated from a minimum number of parts.
Other objects and advantages willbe apparent to those skilled in the art after reading the following specification in connection with the annexed drawings in which:
FIGURE 1 is a side elevation of a blank from which a preferred form of latching member for a clasp in accordance with this invention is constructed;
FIGURE 2 is a plan view of the blank;
FIGURE 3 is a side elevation of the blank after it has been doubled over;
FIGURE 4 is a cross-sectional elevation of a clasp constructed in accordance with this invention including a latch and keeper attached to abutting sections (each of which is broken away) of a conventional bracelet and necklace;
FIGURE 5 is an end elevation of the shown in FIGURE 4;
FIGURE 6 is an end elevation of the keeper member shown in FIGURE 4;
FIGURE 7 is a side elevation of the clasp shown in FIGURE 4 but in its closed position;
FIGURE 8 is a side elevation of a modified form of latch;
FIGURE 9 is a cross-sectional elevation of a modified form of keeper to be employed with the latch of FIG- URE 8;
FIGURE 10 is an end view of the keeper shown in FIGURE 9;
FIGURE 11 is a plan view of the keeper of FIGURES 9 and 10; and
FIGURE 12 is a side elevation of a modified form of blank showing the actuating button as being formed integrally with the latching portion.
In constructing the preferred form of clasp a blank is first made from a semi-cylindrical strip 15 of a springy metal. At one end of this strip an actuating button 16 is attached by means of a short length of wire 17 which is bent at right angles and secured to the inside surface of the strip at one end such as by soldering or brazing. At the other end of the strip an arcuate transverse groove 18 is formed on the exterior surface of the strip spaced slightly from the end of the strip. A radially projecting latching member protuberance 19 is also formed in the metal as shown. Further, in order to permit the strip to be doubled over approximately. in the middle, portions of the metal are removed, as indicated at 20, on both sides of the strip to provide a spring hinge section 21.
A flat supporting plate 22 is also provided, this plate having an opening 23 to which the lower leg 24 of the catch is secured either by soldering, or welding or other suitable means, the thickness of the groove 18 being such that a firm joint between the latch and supporting plate may be obtained.
In the preferred modification, the supporting plate is also provided with a radially extending slot 25 to permit the passage therethrough of the supporting wire 17.
The keeper comprises a flat plate 26 having a central opening 27, the radius of this opening being approximately the same as the radius of the curvature of the upper and lower legs of the latches 28 and 24 respectively. The thickness of the plate 26 should be such that after the clasp has been closed (as shown in FIG. 7) the terminal margin 29 of the upper leg will be wedged in at a slight angle behind the plate and the protuberance 19 on the lower leg will also engage with the inner surface of the plate 26 to assist the upper leg to prevent the clasp from opening.
It will be obvious that in the example shown in the drawing the two sections of bracelets 30 and 31 are cylindrical in cross-section and that in conformity with this cross-section the exterior surfaces of both supporting plates 22 and 26 will therefore be cylindrical. However, it will be realized that the exterior configuration of both these plates will depend entirely upon the design of the bracelet with which it is to be used.
Since the clasp may be made prior to its attachment to a bracelet, these plates can be fabricated from rectangular pieces, or sections having any other shape. The excess metal will facilitate attachment to the bracelet, and is removed thereafter.
Obviously, a portion of the bracelet section 30 should also be cut away at 32 in alignment with the slot 25 .to provide room for the wire 17.
FIGURES 8-l1 illustrate a modified form of the invention in which a semi-cylindrical strip of spring metal is formed similarly to that of the previous modification to provide a lower leg 24' and an upper leg 28' flexibly joined by the forwardly positioned hinge portion 21'. In this modification the actuating button 16 is attached to the outer surface of the upper leg by means of a radially projecting straight wire 33 positioned slightly forwardly of the terminal margin of the strip 29. In this instance the supporting plate 34 need only be provided with an opening sufficiently large to permit the lower leg to be I attached thereto by means of the arcuate groove 18'.
In view of the fact that the supporting wire 33 is positioned forwardly of the plate 34 the keeper plate 35 is provided not only with the central opening 36 but also must be radially slotted at 37 and an aligned slot 38 should also be provided in the bracelet portion 31' to permit the supporting wire 33 to pass into the bracelet section 31 when the outer section 30 is brought into abutting engagement with it. In all other respects the operation of the modified form of clasp is similar to that of the previously described one.
In FIGURE 12 there is shown still another modified form of latch mechanism which differs from the modification shown in FIGURES 8-11 only in that the semicylindrical blank, indicated generally by numeral 39, is formed with an integrally attached narrow section 40 which is bent upwardly to provide a support for an actuating button 41.
The latching strip of FIGURE 12 when secured to a supporting plate such as plate 34 shown in FIGURE 8,
will provide a latch which operates similarly to that of FIGURES 8-11 but would have the advantage that due to the position of the supporting element 40 directly at the terminal edge of the strip, it would not be necessary to cut the slot 38 in the bracelet'section 31; the thickness of the keeper plate 35 will usually be sufficient to receive the element 40 in the space provided by slot 37.
Having described several forms in which the invention may be practiced, it will be evident that various improvements and modifications may be made by those skilled in the art which would come within the scope of the annexed claims.
