WATCHCASE.
I Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 28, 1919.
Application filed March 28, 1918. Serial m3; 225,236.
To all whom it may concern: 7
Be it known that I, LOUIS LOEB, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Watchcase, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to watch cases and particularly to a case for a wrist watch, and has for an object the provision of an 1mproved construction whereby a simple, strong structure is produced with a II11I11- mum number of parts.
Another object in View is the provision of a case in which a bezel is formed in such a manner that the crystal or glass may be placed in position from the outside of the case.
A further object of the invention is the provision of an improved construction of casing wherein the bottom is made from two parts pressed into the proper shape for receiving a connecting support when the parts are assembled.
In the accompanying drawing:
Figure 1 is a top plan View of a complete casing disclosing an embodiment of the invention.
Fig. 2 is a side view of the structure shown in Fig. 1.
:ture.
Fig. 8 is a top plan view of the bottom section of the casing shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 1 is an edge view of the bottom section-shown in Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is a longitudinal vertical section through the casing shown in Fig. 1, on line 55.
Fig. 6 is a transverse sectional View through Fig. 1 on line 66.
Fig. 7 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view showing how the bezel is positioned for receiving the glass.
Referring tothe accompanying drawing by numerals, 1 indicates the top section of the casing and 2 the bottom section. The
top section 1 is provided with a comparatively wide upstanding wall 3 and an inwardly extending flange 4 that coacts with the ring 5 for producing the bezel, which /'bezel receives the. glass 6. The ring 5. is
soldered at 7, and the outer part of the ring and the wall 3 finished so as to give ,the appearance of a single or solid struc- It will be observed that the flan e {4: projects beyond the ring 5 so that t e glass 6 may be snapped into position from the outside. The wall 3 is formed with parallel end sections 8 and 9 as shown in Fig. 1 and rounded side sections 10 and 11 for producing an ornamental appearance. Connected with the ends 8 and 9 are bars 12 and 13 through which straps are passed for securing the casing in position on the wrist when the casing is in use. It will, of course, be understood that the works of a watch are placed in the casing when the casing is used on the wrist, the particular form of watch not forming any part of the present invention.
As shown particularly in Figs. 5 and 6' the bottom section 2 is provided with a bottom plate 14 preferably arched or curved so as to conform to the shape of the wrist, and an encircling upstanding wall 15 soldered or otherwise rigidly secured to bottom 14:, said wall merging into an overhanging flange structure 16 open in the center so as to provide a circular aperture 17 as shown in Fig. 3. The space inclosed by plate 14: and members 15 and 16 is intendedfor the works of the watch, while above the member 16 and below flange 4:
is provided a space for the dial and the hands of the watch,..,which may be seen through the glass'6. The bottomplate 14 parts are provided, and yet by reason ofthe height of the wall 3 a smooth continuous surface is presented to ive the neat appearance necessary in articles of. this kind.
In order to accommodate the winding stem members 15- and 16 are cut away at .18 as shown; in Fig. 4, while the wall 3 is cut away at 19 as shown in Fig. 2. What I claim is:
v 1. A wrist watch frame comprising a casing for the watch formed with a bottom and an upstanding wall bent inwardly at the upper end so as to produce a retaining flange, said bottom projecting beyond the upstanding Wall for a distance substantially the thickness of the upstanding wall, and a crystal carrying casing having a wall telescopically fitting over said upstanding Wall and against said bottom, the thickness of said crystal carrying casing being such that the upper surface will be substantially flush with the outer edge of said upstanding Wall, the upper part of the crystal carrying casing being spaced above said retaining flange.
- 2. A watch case for wrist watches comprising a top 01' crystal casing formed with means for supporting a crystal, and a depending portion, a bottom section adapted to contain the Works of the Watch formed with the bottom extending until flush with the outer wall of the crystal casing, an upstanding Wall, and an inwardly extending annular flange.
