*Specificationof Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 10,1918.
Application filed October 22,1 91? sens-1 m. 1557;821.
To all whom it may concern tionof stock to be used in making beads or parts for-necklaces, bracelets and ornamental articles, for scarf-pins, settings for rings, breast pins, hat-pins, hair-ornaments, pendents, and the like, and itconsists in certain peculiarities ofthe construction and novel arrangement of'the parts,as well as in the novel steps in producing the parts and securing thenitogether, andinthe material out of which they are made, and in the utilization of certain parts of said material which has heretofore been wasted.
The invention contemplates the production of stock for jewelers, which stock is taken from or made out of certain parts of abalone shells, which, as is well known to those skilled in the art to which my 'in vention pertains is used largely for inlaying and for making buttons, beads, and other ornaments. These shells are ear shaped, flattened, and slightly spiral, and are provided with a series of perforations located in a row toward the outer edge of the back of the shell. The part of the shells in which these perforations are located, has heretofore been thrown away as useless or not utilized, notwithstanding the fact that said part is on the inner surface of the shell lined with scintillating. or highly decoralive or ornamental material, possibly mother of pearl. The parts of the shell heretofore used for making buttons, beads and other ornaments, were generally, if not wholly slightly concave on their ornamental surfaces and for this reason they could not be conveniently made of separate pieces in such a manner attain the scintillatin changeable and beautiful effect resulting from the lining of the inner surfaces of the abalone shells. The part or parts of the shells out of which the parts of the jewelers stock is made according to my invention is internally rounded in cross-section, so that when the stock is made up according to my method convexed surfaces of the pieces out of which as to preserve or the 'stockis made, inst'ead of concave surfaces will be presentedto the eye-in such a way ais 'to utilize to the fullest the scintillatjing 0r chamele'on'like eifect' of the shell lin- -1ng. Another very important H vantage'ous result obtained byzpractising my and adinrention' is,th-at 'facetsof asymmetrical,
attractive and novel form are attained and that the'stock will be presentedto the manufacturing jeweler'in such form as'to enable it to be fashioned into settings or ornaments with aininimum of expense and labor.
In the accompanying drawing which serves to illustrate the invention,
Figure 1 is a plan View of'the interior of an abalone shell-showing by dotted lines the p0rt1On thereof out of-which th'e'stock is made or produced.
Fig. 2 1 is an enlarged perspective view of one of the members or pieces of the stock.
Fig. 3 is a similar View showing two of such pieces secured together.
Fig. 4- is an end view of a bead made up of the segmental pieces of stock.
Fig. 5 is a similar view of a composite setting to be used for a scarf-pin or for other ornamental purposes.
Fig. 6 is a central cross-sectional view of Fig. 5, and I Fig. 7 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken on line 77 of Fig. 1 lookingl in the direction indicated by the arrows irough one of the partitions which separate the perforations of the shell.
Like numerals of reference refer to corresponding parts throughout the different views of the drawing.
The reference numeral 10 designates as a whole, an abalone shell which has a series of perforations 11 located in a row near the outer edge of the back of the shell. These perforations are separated by portions or partitions 12 which are rounded on their inner surfaces and substantially straight or flat on their outer surfaces as is clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 7 of the drawing. By cutting or sawing these partitions or portions 12 transversely and inclinedly, several wedge shaped segmental pieces 13 may be formed out of each of the partitions or portions 12, each of which pieces will have substantially the appearance of that shown in Fig. 2 of the drawin the rounded or convex surface of each piece 13 retaining the natural finish of the shell. These pieces can be secured together by means of cement or otherwise, side by side so as to form com posite articles of segmental, semi-circular or circular shapes as shown in Figs. 3 to 6 inclusive of the drawingfwhen it is obvi ous that said articles, for instance, those shown in Figs. 3, 5 and 6 may be suitably mounted "as settings for scarf-pins, rings, hair ornaments and the like. Articles made up into the form shown in Fig. 4 may be used as beads for necklaces or bracelets by drilling a hole through thecenter of the article at the inner ends of the segmental pieces 13 so that said beads can be strung on a wire or cord or otherwise suitably con nected together. It is my intention to furnish the stock to jewelers by producing the members or pieces of the shape shown in Fig. 2 of the drawing, when it is apparent that many of them will be of the same size and others of smaller or larger sizes. The jeweler can select from these pieces the proper sized ones and assemble them so as to produce the desired sized and shaped settings. However, I may in some instances assemble the parts 13 and furnish them to 'jewelers as thus assembled. The beads formed by securing the piece 13 together will be slightly elongated in shape generally, but some of them will be substantially spherical or round.
Having thus fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is v 1. As an improved article of manufacture, stock for jewelers consisting of segmental wedge shaped piecesof abalone shells cut from the portions of said shells between the usual perforations therein, each of said pieces having a cross sectionally and an elongated curved facet or surface.
2. As an improved article of manufacture, composite stock for jewelers consisting of segmental wedge shaped pieces of abalone shells from the portions between the usual perforations therein secured together side by side, each of said pieces having a cross sectionally, and an elongated curved facet or surface.
