INEZ MADDOX, OF BOMBAY, INDIA.

BRACELET AND BANGLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented J an. 3%, 1912.

Application filed June 8, 1910. Serial No. 565,831.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, INEZ Maonomof Bombay View, opposite Colaba station, Bombay, India, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in and Connected with Bracelets and Bangles, of which the following is a specification. u

The object of the invention is to readily combine articles such as a pen, pencil, rubber and knife with a bracelet. This I do by providing the front or body port-ion of the bracelet with hollow or box-like sockets which constitute holders into which these articles or the case thereof may be inserted or withdrawn for use afterthe manner of a pocket pen and pencil case. The exteriorof the case may be ornamented with gems, and is so designed as to form or resemble a part of the bracelet as if it were an integral part of the bracelet design, but which is only a detachable part of the bracelet. The bracelet is formed at one side with a socket completely enveloping one end' of the case, when in position, while at the other the socket is open on the front side, and a little projection in the rear wall enters a hole or orifice in the end of the case and retains itin proper position. The case can be removed by expanding the bracelet or by raising, with a slight pressure, that end of the case which fits into the open socket while the opposite end is drawn out and from the inclosing socket.

In order that my invention may be properly understood and readily carried into effect, I have hereunto appended one sheet of drawings, of which Figure 1 is a front perspective view of the preferred form of bracelet and a plan of the underside of the case made in accordance with and embodying my inven tion. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the case showing the same detached from the bracelet but remains connected therewith by a chain, the case/being provided with pen, knife and pencil. Fig. 3 is a similar View to Fig. 1, illustrating a bracelet ornamented with only two rows of gems and-the case containing a pencil and a knife. Fig. 4 is a sectional view of the case shown in Fig. 3. Figs. 5, 6 and 7 are views of the structure shown in Fig. 3. Fig. 8 is a view, similar to Figs. 1 and 3, of a modified form of bracelet the case bein engraved and otherwise ornamented an containing a pencil only. Figs. 9 and 10 are views of the device shown in Fig. 8.

Referring to the drawings A is the bracelet proper, B the case, C the enveloping socket, D the open socket, E the chain attaching both case and bracelet, as shown.

The open socket D has a pin-like projection D which enters the hole or orifice D, of the case B, seen more particularly in F i g. 2, and keeps it in position as aforementioned. -The case B in this form of bracelet, is provided with the means for withdrawal and insertion of the pen E, knife F and pencil G, mounted within the case as seen inv Fig. 1r

In Figs. 3, 4: and 7 the means for withdrawal and insertion of the knife F and pencil Gr are at the side.

In Figs. 8, 9 and 10, the means there shown and employed are the same as those illustrated in Fig. 1.

The chain E, besides connecting the bracelet A, and case B, acts as a support, and may be put oneither side, right or left, as desired. In attaching the case B into the socket C, where the chain is at; tached, the case is first inserted into the socket receptacle C formed in that end of the bracelet as shown, then the opposite end is then pressed into the open socket D, a projection formed in the back wall of said socket enters into a hole or orifice D in the end of case, as described.

The bracelet may be made of the cheapest metal and stones, in various colors and designs,to imitate real stones, also others, varying from precious metals to the dearest kinds such as silver, rolled gold, gold with precious stones in various designs, Christian names may be written, printed or embossed on the bracelet when desired and such words as Remember, F orget-menot, with photos may further be added.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:

1. In combination, a bracelet provided on one end with a flanged socket-like por-v tion and havin at its other end a flanged socket-like portlon', facing the first named portion, and having its flange partly cut away, a stud or pin disposed in said last named socket, and a case containinga plurality of articles,j having end portions shaped to fit said sockets and an orifice to articles having end portions shaped to fit receive said stud. said sockets. 10
