C, 6. KING.
Patented Dec. 31, 1918.
. Fl f4 Even 2hr; fiw? Aiiorn e] CLIFFORD G. KING, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND.
ORNAMENTAL MEMBER FOR EAR-RINGS.
Application filed August 30, 1918.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CLIFFORD G. KING, 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 Ornamental Members for Ear-Rings, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to hoop earrings comprising an ornamental bar combined with an ear wire. In this type of earring it is desirable that the exposed portions of the ornamental member, when plated, should not expose the base metal portion.
The essential objects of my invention are to pivotally connect the ear wire with the ornamental body in such a manner as to prevent the exposure of base metal; to prevent the creation of a knuckle or other superficial irregularity of the body adjacent the joint which would catch the wearers hair or afi'ord lodgment of dirt, and to attain these ends in a structure both strong and simple to construct.
To the above ends essentially my invention consists in such parts and combinations of parts, and in such steps and such succession of steps as fall within the scope of the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings which form a part of this specification,
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a blank from which the ornamental member is formed,
Figs. 2 and 3, side and front elevations of the blank after the burring operation and before bending the bearing portions,
Fig. 4:, a side elevation of the same after the bearing portions are bent, and
Figs. 5 and 6, side and front elevations respectively of a complete earring embodying my invention.
Like reference characters indicate like parts throughout the views.
The hoop or ornamental member is cut into lengths 7 from a continuous metal strip forming oblong plates having fine metal. upon all its surfaces except the cut end faces.
By a burring tool one of the ends of the blank or body is cut away in the direction Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 31, 1918.
Serial No. 252,074.
of the greatest width. This cutting is such that there is a central longitudinally disposed channel 8 extending into the body of the member 7 forming on either side of the channel upright flanges 9 and 10 provided respectively with beveled faces 11 and 12. The flange 9 is preferably longer than the flange 10. The blank thus treated is shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The opposite end of the blank is cut away to form a notch 14.
By swaging means the members 9 and 10 are bent inwardly until the faces 11 and 12 abut against each other forming a resultant seam 16 as shown in Fig. 4. The groove or channel 8 is now circular to conform to the contour of the pintle 17 embraced therein by the fingers. The latter are provided with a transverse slot 19to admit the perforated end 20 of the ear wire, 21, which erforation admits passage therethrough of the pintle. Upon the free end of the wire 21 is a barb 23 adapted to be received in the cavity 14 after the body 7 has been bent into the form of a hoop with an open side.
It will be observed that after the smooth joint formed by the inward bending of the members 9 and 10 has been completed the exposed surface of the joint is of fine metal and perfectly smooth and unbroken.
I claim:
1. An ornamental member for an earring comprising a curved metal strip provided with a transverse groove in one end, integral flanges upon both sides of the groove provided with end faces abutting against each other constituting a tubular seat, a pintle in the seat, and an ear wire upon the pintle adapted to engage the other end of the strip.
2. An ornamental member for an earring comprising a curved metal strip provided at one end with a transverse groove, flanges upon said end at both sides of the groove, said flanges being provided with beveled end faces abutting against each other, a pintle embraced by the flanges, and an ear wire on the pintle adapted to engage the other end of the strip.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
CLIFFORD G. KING.
