UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE I-I. GAHOONE, OF PROVIDENCE, RI-IOIDE ISLAND, ASSIGNOR TO GEORGE E. CAHOONE COMPANY, A CORPORATION OF RHODE ISLAND.
BRAGELET.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed June 17, 1912.
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE H. CAHOONE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Providence, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bracelets, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to bracelets, circlets and similar articles of jewelry comprising a plurality of beads strung upon a core; and particularly to that class of beads known as imitation pearls, which are solid.
The object of my invention is to construct a bracelet of this character composed of imitation pearls that shall have a fastening wholly invisible from the exterior.
For this end essentially my invention consists of such parts and combinations of parts as fall within the scope of the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings which form a part of this specification,Figure l is a plan view of the entire bracelet comprising my invention, Fig. 2, a front elevation of the core member, Fig. 3, an enlarged elevation of the adjacent ends of the core member disengaged, Fig. 4:, a central section of the end bead showing in side elevation one end of the core member extended therethrough, and showing in broken outline the position of the extremity of the end after initial opening, and Fig. 5, a similar section of the bead showing side elevation of adjacent ends of the core member in their final position.
Like reference characters parts throughout the views.
My bracelet comprises a plurality of pearls A, A each provided with a diametrical opening a of a large diameter at each end, as at a, forming shoulders or abutments b. The imitation pearls A are strung in succession through the openings at upon a re silient wire or core C, so closely as to normally contact with each other.
It is essential for the best results that. the fastening means for the ends of the member C be such as to be invisible, so that the pearls alone shall be visible under all circumstances. In furtherance of the sug gested purpose each adjacent end of the core C is for some distance from its end preferably undercut, or reduced upon opposite sides, as at 0, forming reduced shanks indicate like 0, each semicircular in cross section, so that if and when the two shanks 0 are overlapped upon one another, they form a wire or core of substantially the same diameter as the body C.
In assembling the parts the pearls A are strung side by side upon the core C through their respective openings a until the last or final pearl A is reached. The process of fastening the ends of the core in this final pearl is as follows :One of the shanks 0 is inserted through the opening a of the pearl A with its extremity extending slightly be yond the periphery of the pearl as shown in Fig. 4, and the extremity c of this shank is then bent laterally into a position such as that shown in broken lines in Fig. 4. The opposite shank 0 is then inserted in an opposite direction through the opening a of the pearl until its extremity 0 projects beyond the periphery of the pearl upon the side of the latter opposite the first mentioned extremity, and is then bent laterally in the opposite direction from the first mentioned extremity. Then with a suitable sharp tool the projecting portions of the extremities 0 are severed flush with the periphery of the pearl. The resultant structure is that shown in Fig. 5, wherein it will be observed the outwardly bent fingers or projections or extremities abut against the shoulders cl, formed by the enlarged borings a of the pearl. Thus by pulling the body portion of the core 0 in a way to naturally separate the shanks c the result will be merely to force the bent portions 0 more tightly against their respective abutments b, and thus prevent any separation of the parts, and the whole string of pearls are insured against accidental displacement and loss, and the means of fastening are wholly concealed by the interior of the endpearl A.
I claim 1. In a bracelet, the combination with a series of pearls each provided with a diametrical opening, of a core passing through provided with overlapping shanks upon its adjacent ends passing through the openings, and projections upon the shanks registering in the enlargements.
3. In a bracelet, the combination with a series of pearls provided with diametrical openings of a core provided to pass through the openings, one of said pearls being provided with a diametrical opening having enlarged ends forming shoulders at diametrically opposite points in the pearl, shanks upon the adjacent ends of the core overlapping each other in said pearl, and lateral projections upon the ends of the shanks adapted to engage the shoulders. 15
In testimony whereof I have afiixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
GEORGE H. CAHOONE.
