CHARLES GRUNEBAUIE, 0F PHILADELIHIA, PENNSYLVA'NTA.
BETTE-CLASP ATTACHMENT.
Application filed February 25, 1922.
T 0 aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that T, Crrnnnns GnUNnnAUn, a cltizen of the United State, residing; at e a 1 v a D 1. w 1 w r F inc city 01. nmnel nia, CCllildi or .n a delphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful improved Bead-Clasp Attachment, of which the following is a s ecification.
In the making of a necklace it is the accepted custom to string the beads thereof upon asilk or other cord. As is well lrnown the strands of such cords frequently break, sometimes resulting in the loss of beads. Such breakage of strands has generally been attributed to frictional contact of the necklace parts. @bservation discloses however that the common cause of cord breakage results from the constant contact of the finger nails of the wearer with that portion of the cord secured to claspparts. This occurs when the fingers of wearer slip from the clasp in endeavoring to couple and uncouple the clasp-parts.
The leading object of the present invention is to provide a bead-clasp base which while efiectively covering that part of the cord which is attached to clasp-parts is of inconspicuous construction so as not to be detrimental to the appearance of a necklace. A further object of the present invention is to provide a bead-clasp base for a necklace one end of which is notched to engage over a clasp-part and the opposite end of which is flared for bead reception whereby not only is the cord concealed and protected but a neat appearing and friction reducing seat is provided for an end bead. Uther and further objects not at this time more particularly set forth will appear hereinafter.
The invention consists of the improvements hereinafter described and finally claimed.
The nature, characteristic features and scope of the invention will be more fully understood from the following description. taken in connection with the acco oanying drawings forming part hereof, and in which:
1 is a view in elevation of a portion of a necklace illustrating the attachment of the invention as applied thereto.
Fig. 2, is a view partly in elevation and partly in sections drawn to an enlarged Scale, illustrating the base and an end bead prior to being positioned with respect to a clasp-part, and
Serial No. 539,076.
us instrlmientalities of which my invention consists can be variously arranged and organized and that my invention is not limited to the precise arrangement and organization of the instru mentalities as herein shown and described.
In the drawings 10ll designate clasp parts which for illustrative purposes have been shown as comprising the conventional form of snap-ring 10 for detachably receiving eye 11. Obviously other types of clasps well known in the jewelers trade may be employed. In practice an end of cord 12- is secured with respect to part 10 and the other end of the cord is secured with respect to eye 11. As commonly practiced each end of a cord is looped to form a small bight of which one bight is passed through an eye rigidly connected to part 10 and of which the other bight is passed through eye 11. The free end of each bight is then tied to the main portion of the cord at some appropriate place. The attachment of the present invention, of which two are employed in each necklace, is shown as comprising a sleeve 14 one end of which is flared as at 15 and the walls of the opposite end of which are provided with opposed, substantially V-shaped notches 16 of which there are two. As clearly shown in Fig. 1, with each attachment in proper position the notches of sleeves 14 engage over the clasp-parts so that each bight of cord 12 is entirely concealed from view and thoroughly protected by a sleeve. Thus in couplingand uncoupling the necklace, should the hands of the wearer slip, the fingernails cannot impinge against the bights of cord 12 thereby eliminating possibility of cord abrasion from this now prevalent cause. The flared or bell-shaped end of a sleeve 14 receives an end bead as clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 3. Not only is a neat appearance thus eflected but the convexed surface of a bead seats within the flared mouth of a sleeve 14 thus reducing to a minimum possibility of frictional contact, scratching and otherwise spoiling of a bead surface.
It will now be apparent that l have de Cir vised a novel and useful construction which embodies the features of advantage enumeratedas desirable in the statement of the invention and the "above description and while I have in the present instance shown and described the preferred embodiment thereof which has been found in practice to give satisfactory and reliable results, it is to be understood that the same is susceptible of modification in various particulars without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages. 7 r
What I claim is j I 1. In a necklace, a clasp-part, a cord for beads secured with respect thereto, and a sleeve the side wall at one end thereof being provided with opposed notches for fitting over that portion of said clasp-part engaged by said cord.
2. In a necklace, a clasp-part, a cord for beads secured with respect thereto, beads,
and a sleeve flared at one end for bead accommodation and having the side wall of its other end oppositely notched for fitting over that portion of said clasp-part engaged by said cord.
3. In a necklace, a clasp-part, a cord for beads secured with respect thereto, and a sleeve the side wall at one end thereof be-v CHARLES GRUNEBA MQ
