B. WHITNEY.
BRAGELBT. No. 434,220. Patented Aug. 12, 1890- WITNESSES| UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
EDWIN WHITNEY, OF ATTLEBOROUGH FALLS, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO READ & LINCOLN, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND.
BRACELET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 434,220, dated August 12, 1890.
Application filed April 27, 1889- To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWIN WHITNEY, of Attleborough Falls, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented a 5 certain new and useful Improvementin Bracelets; and I do hereby declare the following specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming a part of the same, to be a description thereof.
This invention relates to a bracelet which is mainly composed of a continuous piece of wire or material; and it consists in certain features of construction and arrangement, hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 represents in perspective a bracelet embodying the invention. Fig. 2 shows a top view of the same. Fig. 3 represents a transverse section on line at of Fig. 1. Fig. {I shows a rear View of a portion of the bracelet. Fig. shows an edge view of a modified form of keeper.
A is the continuous strip of material of which the bracelet is mainly composed, which strip may be of metal or other suitable material, and be round, oval, polygonal, or of other preferred form in cross-section. The strip A is bent upon itself, so that the ends pass by each other, and the end a is attached to a plate or keeper B in any suitable manner, as by being soldered in a socket-piece 1), projecting from the keeper B, and the end a is attached to the keeper B in any preferred manner, as by being secured in a socket.- piece I).
The strip A maybe formed into any desired number of convolutions. In Figs. 1 and 2 three half-convolutions are shown above the keepers B B and two half-convolutions are shown below the same. As shown in Fig. 2, the strip passes from the keeper B over and down through a guide-slot b in the keeper B, then up through a guide-slot b in the keeper B, then down through a guide-slot b in the keeper B, then up through a guide-slot b in the keeper B,'then over to the keeper B, to which the end is secured. The object of the guide-slots is to hold the coils or convolutions of the strip in proper lateral and diametrical relation to each other. As shown in Fig. 2,
the guide-slots b b b b are formed in ears Serial No. 308,835. (No model.)
projecting from the bodies of the respective keepers; but, as will be readily understood, and as shown in Fig. 5, the guide-slots may be formed in the keeper-body itself.
An ornamental member 0, of any preferred 5 5' design, may be combined with the strip A. As shown in Fig. 4., one of the convolutions of the strip passes through a slot in an ear 0 on said member, and there may be sufficient v friction between the slot and strip to hold the member in the desired location on the latter,
or the member may be secured to such convolution by solder. Guide-slots located in ears 0' 0 may also be used to maintain any desired lateral relation of the convolutions to each other. As will be readily understood, however, the slots may be in the body of the member, instead of in cars projecting therefrom.
The bracelet can readily be expanded to pass over the hand, and the strip A is preferably composed of a material having resilience, so that the/bracelet will resume its normal shape.
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A bracelet consisting of a continuous strip coiled into ring form with its extremi ties passed by each other, and keepers attached, respectively, to the end portions of the strip and provided with guide-slots through which loosely pass the coils of the strip, whereby the keepers both slide on such coils in contracting and expanding the bracelet, substantially as described.
2. A bracelet composed of a continuous strip of material bent upon itself so that itsends pass each other, keepers to which said ends are respectively attached and which are furnished with guide-slots to allow the passage of the strip therethrough, and an ornamental member mounted on the strip between said keepers and slotted to allow the passage of the strip through the member, substantially as set forth.
EDI/VIN \VHITNEY.
