MOSES H. MASON, OF ATTLEBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO MASON, DRAPER 86 CO., OF4 SAME PLAGE.
IMPROVEMENT IN BRACELETS. i
Speciication forming part of Letters Patent No. 125,402, dated April 9, 1872.
I, MOSES H. MASON, of Attleborough, in the county ot' Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in the Manufacture of Bracelets, of which the following is a specification:
The nature of my invention consists in producin g a cheap substitute for the back piece, usually soldered upon the inside of an ordinary hinged bracelet. v
Figure 1 represents an edge view, and Fig. 2a sectional side view of the ordinary hinged bracelet. Figs. 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 represent sectional views of my improvement in its several modifications.
It has been the common practice heretofore to fasten upon the inner side of the ordinary hinged bracelet a strip of metal, A, in order to render the bracelet agreeabley to the wrist of the wearer and to present the appearance of solidity. The expense of preparing and soldering this piece in place is quite a considerable item in the cost of manufacture. I avoid this, and at the same time produce an article having the same appearance when on the wrist, and also properly agreeable to the wearer, by turning the edges ofthe plain strip u ot' stock of which the bracelet is to be made so as to form a round, square, or grooved edge, the edges of the strip of stock extending beyond to form the inner bearing of the bracelet, either straightly or on a flattened curve, as shown in the several sectional drawings, Figs. 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, where a. a are the edges of the bracelet, and b b the straight or lattened curved portions referred to. In Fig. 3
the stock is formed up so as to produce a semicircular edge, a, with a slightly-curved inner portion, b, extending to near the center of the bracelet to meet a similar curved portion extending from the other side. This forms a cheap and readily-made substitute for the soldered piece A, since the face of the bracelet, the edges, and bearing for the wristare drawn out of a continuous strip of stock. Fig. 4 shows a squarely-formed edge, with the bearing-flanges b b made straight and extending from each edge a sufficient distance toward the middle of the bracelet to give comfort to the wearer. Figs. 5 and 6 are other modifications illustrating thesame principles, the bearing-flanges b b being slightly curved. Fig. 7 shows the square-ed ged bracelet with a square wire inserted, so as to stiften the same; and in this case Icontinue beyond the straightor slightly-curved portion b b and turn the iiange c, which serves to secure the wire without the use of solder', and completely hides the baser metal of the wire.
I am aware that Frederick Wessel, in his design patent No. 4,256, dated July 1,9, 1870, has claimed the invention of a similar bracelet having aroll upon its edge, which will give only a narrow cylindrical bearing upon the wrist of the wearer; therefore I make no cla-im to a bracelet having an edge furnished with a roll; but
scribed.
