UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WATCH-HOLDING DEVICE.
Application filed November 10, 1922. SeriaI No. 600,079.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE F. RUMBER- can, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dubo-is, in the county of Clear-field and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Watch-I-Iolding Devices, of which the following is a specification.
The object of this invention is to provide a holder especially adapted for use in mounting a watch on the instrument board of a motor car, but also useful in other connections.
A further object is to provide a device of this type which shall include a plurality of hinged elements proportioned to partly surround the watch case, the elements being connected and expansible for permitting of the insertion of a watch of a well-known make, and also watches the casings of which vary, to a reasonable extent, in diameter.
A still further object is to provide for securely mounting the holder 011 the instrument board, or other support, and spacing it slightly from the surface thereof.
lVith the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of elements described, illustrated and claimed, it being understood that modifications may be made within the scope of the claims without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawings, Figure 1 shows the device in front elevation and in operative position; Figure 2 is a top plan view; Figure 3 is a bottom plan view; Figure f is a side or edge elevation; Figure 5 is a horizontal section.
In carrying out the invention I provide a plurality of curved elements and 12 proportioned to surround the case of an Ingersoll watch, these elements being connected by a hinge l3, and the elements of the case being normally closed by spring having approximately the curvature of the segmental elements i l of the size shown. This spring is secured to element 10 and bears against the element 12 and permits of the spreading apart of the holder when inserting the watch. The upper ends of the ele ments 10 and 12 need not extend to the stem, but permit of the use of the holder with a watch of a smaller size.
The bracket 16 is secured to one of the elements of the holder and is apertured to 65 permit of connection with. the instrument board of the automobile or with other suitable support. The holder when so mounted will be about one-fourth of an inch from the surface of the board, the bracket acting for the accommodation of the watch stem when the ends approach each other somewhat closely.
The inner portions of the principal curved elements of either form of the device are covered with velvet, felt or the like, pen
mitting of the effective mounting of the watch between the jaws without injury to the watch case.
What is claimed is:
A device of the class described comprising a. plurality of segmental channel shaped elements adapted to partly surround a watch case, and each being movable with reference to the other, about a pivotal point, a bracket secured to one of said elements and adapted for connection with a stationary member, a hinge connecting the segmental elements, and a spring having approximately the curvature of the segmental elements, se-
cured to one of the elements and bearing against the other at a point opposite the hinge connection.
In testimony whereof I atlix my signature.
GEORGE F. RUMBERGER.
