E. MAlRE-BRUNELL WATCH STAND. APPLICATION FILED FEB. 39. IQIB.
Patented Nov. 19, 1918.

'FlGi INVENTO R= EDOUARD MAIRE-BRUNEL, 0F LUGANO, SWITZERLAND.
WATCH-STAND.
Application filed February 19, 1918.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDOUARD MAIRE- BRUNEL, citizen of the Swiss Republic, residing at Lugano, Canton of Tessin, Switzerland, 60 Via Nassa, have invented new and useful Improvements in I/Vatch-Stands, of which the following is a. specification.
The subject of this invention is a watch stand for holding a watch raised on end. The watch stand consists of a support comprising two rods connected together by means of a' spring in such manner that at one end they tend continuously to meet like the jaws of pliers, these rods being adapted to grip by their ends a projecting part of the watch and to be supported at their opposite ends.
The annexed drawing shows by way of example two embodiments of the invention.
In the drawing, Figures 1 and 2 represent to enlarged scale the two embodiments in elevation. Fig. 3 is a side view of Fig. 1 to a smaller scale showing a watch fitted thereto. Fig. l is a transverse section to enlarged scale through the neck of the pendant in Fig. 3.
In the first embodiment (Figs. 1, 3 and 4) the watch stand consists of a support comprising the rods. a connected by a spring 5, the central part of which is bent into a helix, and each extremity of which is soldered to one of the rods a. The action of the spring 1) tends continuously to cause the upper ends of the rods a to meet, each of the upper ends forming a jaw a, the lower ends by which they are supported tending to separate. The jaws a are intended to grip the neck 0 of the pendant of the watch (Z as shown in Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 19, 1918.
Serial No. 218,090.
Figs. 3 and i so that the watch is supported and maintained in an absolutely stable position by the support.
The embodiment shown in Fig. 2 diflers from that just described in this that the support is in one piece suitably shaped. The two branches 6 form the jaws, the branches being connected by a part 7 of inverted V shape which serves as a spring.
The form of the rods of the support may be varied. Moreover, the jaws may be attached to any other projecting part of the watch such as for example the winding button.
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:
A watch stand comprising a single strip of resilient material and bent to form a pair of convergent arms which normally contact with each other adjacent their upper ends, said arms being extended and curved in the same direction and provided with jaws at their upper ends, a pair of extensions formed on the lower ends of said arms and disposed in parallel relation to and between the arms, and an arcuate curved portion connecting the upper ends of said extensions for biasing said extensions outwardly to bias said arms together at their upper ends.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
EDOUARD MAIRE-BRUNEL.
IVitnesses C. W. W. BLINCH, H. J. STEHLIN.
