UNTTED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
EZRA C. FITCH, OF NEINT YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVEMENT IN WATCH-CASES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0.151,S67, dated .Tune 9,1874; application filed Maren 26,1874.
To all vwhom `it may concern:
Be it known that I, EZRA C. FITCH, otl the city ot' New York, in the county and State ot' New York, have invented an Improved latch- Gasc, of which the following is a specification:
My invention relates to certain improve ments whereby but a single joint or opening in the case is exposed. rIhe invention consists in a watch-case having the rim or band between the caps beveled or V-shaped, or of other suitable approximate form in its crosssection, and the inner edges of the caps of corresponding forni and greater circumference, so that when the case is closed the inner edges of the caps come in contact with each other, and form but a single joint, covering and concealing the rim or band.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure l is an edge view of a watch-case embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is atransverse section with the case closed. Fig. 3 is a transverse section with the case open.
My invention may be applied to either double or opeirfaced cases with equal facility. rlhe drawing represents a double case, G1 being the face cap, and C2 the back cap. The
rim or band B is beveled or V-shaped, or of other. suitable approximate form, instead of a broad and hooplike surface, and it is smaller in circumference than the caps C1 G2, instead of equal thereto, as is usual in wateh-casesrBhe caps C1 G2 have their inner edges eX tended so as to reach to the center of the rim or band B, instead of terminating before reaching said center. B y this construction the inner edges of the caps meet each other when the case is closed, and entirely cover and conceal the rim B, forming but a single joint, as shown in FiO. 2.
That I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
A watch-case having its rim or band of V- shaped or other suitable approximate form, and the inner edges of the caps of corresponding form, and coming together in a single joint outside of the rim, substantially as and for the purpose shown and described.
E. C. FITCH.
