STRAP FOB/PERSONAL WEAR.
Application filed May 22';
Y My invention relates to straps for* personal wear, such as watch bracelets, garters, belts andthe like, andthe invention relates further to the structure of the member 4en- 5 gagingA the strap ends.
An essential object of my invention is to insure an effective and comfort-able fit f .thestrap vto the wearer, and regardless of' the; hole'spacing or of the location of any 1o particular hole, when holes are presen-t, relatively tothe diameter of any specific vbody member to be embraced by the strap.r
Further objects are security against accidental disengagement ofthe strap ,facility lo of applicationof the strap; eflicient housing of the operating parts, and inexpensiveness of construction.
To the above ends essentially my invention consists in such parts and in such combinations of parts 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 ofV my band or strap embodied in a watch bracelet,
Figure 2 is a fragmentary rear elevation of the same,
Figures 3 and 4 are sections on lines 3-3 of Figure 1, showing the resilientl element of the connecting member in expanded and retracted positions respectively,
Figure 5 is a plan view of the connecting member in open position and showing a portion thereof in section,
Figures G and 7 are transverse sections of the connecting member onlines 6-6 of Fig ure 4, and 7*-7 of `Figure 5 respectively,
Figure 8 isa partial section on a line corresponding to line 8--8 of Figure 5, but with the clasp member closed,
Figure 9 is an isometric view of the slide, and
Figure 10 is a perspective view of a modified form of my invention.
Like reference characters indicate like parts throughout the views.
In Figure 1 my strap, represented generally as 12, is shown as comprising two flexible sections 13 and 14 and an interposed watch or ornament 15, but obviously the strap may be nonsectional and the member' 15 be omitted. The free end portion of the strap section 13 is provided with a longitudinally disposed series of holes 17 The corresponding end of the section 14 is provided 1925,. Serial NQl 110,950;
with an att-aching loop 19, and a guide loop 20.
A' connect-ing member for ythe strapV ends consistsof acasingor housing 22 including in this instance an outer-shell sect-ion having a rea-rwall 24, end ywalls 25 and'top andbot-y tom walls 26, and a complementary inner` section having afront wall 28, end walls 29, andtop and bottom walls 30. The wall 28 is preferably convex and is provided centrally with a longitudinalf'slot 32.- Thewallsh 2G engage the walls 30 and slightly overlap the front wall 28; and the walls 25 enclose the-walls 29. Fast to oneend of thecasing is a metal loop 34 passingthroughthealoopf 19 and having its ends passingthrough perforations 35 in one end wall 25 and riveted to the latter, as at 36, as shown in Figure 5. A rod 37 disposed centrally of the casing 22 has its ends seated in cavities 38 in the walls 29.
Slidably mounted on the rod 37 isa cap 40 shown in detail in Figure 9. As shown the cap comprises a bottom 41, sides 42 and an end 43 provided with a central opening 44 adapted to loosely receive the rod 37. Fixed in the bottom 41 is a depending pin or projection 45. Surrounding the rod 37 is a helical spring 47 having one end abutting against one end wall 29, and its other end resting in the member 4() and-pressing against the wall 43 of the latter.
Mounted on the casing 22 is a clasp 49 comprising an oblong front plate 50 nearly covering the wall 28 and spaced therefrom, and corresponding in transverse section with said wall, affording a longitudinal space 51 between the wall and plate. Upon the top and bottom of the plate 50 are rearwardly directed flanges or walls 52 embracing the top and bottom walls of the casing 22 to which the flanges are pivotally connected at one end by rivets 54 as shown in Figure 7. Near their opposite ends the flanges 52 have indented projections 56 adapted to snap into cavities 57 in the walls 26 of the casing when the clasp is closed. At the end of the clasp which carries the rivets the plate 50 and the flanges 52 are inwardly cut away to form a recessed portion 58, as shown in Figures 1 and 5. i
In applying my device to the operators wrist the clasp is initially swung to open position, as shown in Figure 5, and the end of the strap section 13 1s passed between the elusp and the easing and drawn in (he direction olf the .arrow unt-il the strap is excessively tight around the wrist, the pin 45 enteringr the adjacent hole 17, whereupon the iperator releases the strap end and the conipressod flesh el the wrist expands, thus compressingT the springr from a position shown in li`igure 3 to that of Figure 4. The strap end is then inserted in the loop 2th if sueh a loop is present. The strap is held snugly to the wrist, but without excessive pressure or looseness. Finally the clasp is rearwardly manually pressed against or adjacent the strap end until the projections 5G snap into the cavities 57 so that the strap end is prevented l'roni accidental escape -troni the pin 45 itl or when no loop 20 is present, or when the strap 13 is so short as to escupe .troni such loop.
In Figure l0, the strap 61") is shown as an integral whole rather than in sections, which is a more convenient forni of niy invention when the strap is used as a garter.
It will be understood that the strap may be of leather, fabric, metal, or other inaterial.
lmeiee l. ln an article ol;` the ehuiacter set forth, u strep provided at one end with a series of holes, a casing attached to the other end of the strap, said casing being provided with a longitudinal slot. :t guide rod in the easing parallel with the slot, a member slidably mounted on the rod projecting through the slot and adapted to enter one or more of the holes, and a spring on the rod interposed between the slidable ineniber and the fasing.
2. ln an article of the character set forth, a strap provided at one end with a series of holes, a casing attached to the other end of the strap, said easing being` provided With a longitudinal slot, a guide rod lixed in the casing' parallel with the slot. a member supported in the casing coniprising a cap slidably mounted on the rod, and a projection on the cap extendingr through the slot registerable in one o'l' the holes, and a spring upon the rod abutting at one end against the casing` and at its other end against the cap.
In testimony whereof I have atlixed iny signature.
