BRACELET.
This invention relates to improvements in the construction of resilient band bracelets; and has for its Vobject to provide means whereby the size of the bracelet may be adjusted permitting it to open su'liiciently to pass over the hand onto the arm of the wearer and be subsequently adjusted to the desired operating size.
A further object of the invention is to V provide a resilient band with guides 0n its opposite ends through which the opposite end portionsof the band slidably extend to yoverlie each other, means being provided on one of the guides by which these overlying end portions are detachably secured together in adjusted position.
AV still further lobj ect of the invention is the provision of means in the guide loops through which the opposite ends of the overlying portions extend to prevent withdrawing of one of these loops through the other to limit the opening movement of the brace let so as yto prevent it from becoming removed from the arm without passing over the hand of the wearer.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, as will be more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating my improved resilient band bracelet showing the attaching means for releasably securing the ends in adjusted position.
Figure 2 is a sectional side elevation showing the overlapping portions with guides at their opposite ends, one ot the guides en gaging abutments or protuberances on the opposite band portion to secure the parts in adjusted position.
Figure 3 is a top view showing a fragmental portion of the bracelet with the guides on the opposite ends thereof.
Figure 4 is an enlarged sectional elevation showing the guide at one end as being pivotally connected thereto and to swing and engage the protuberances on the other end portion.
Figure 5 is a perspective view of the locking guide adapted to be pivotally secured to one end of the band.
Figure 6 is a guide which is adapted to be secured to the opposite end and through which the first band portion slides.
Figure 7 is a modication showing one of Application ied March 5, 1826, Serial N'o. 92,588. Renewed July 18, 1929.
the guide members as provided with a pin or protuberance to engage a hole or recess in the opposite band portion to lock the overlying band portions in relative adjusted positions. v
It. is found in the practical use of band bracelets of this character, of advantage to 'form the same of a resilient strip o metal or other suitable material and to provide guiding means on the opposite ends of the band through which the opposite end portions may extend to overlie each other, the guides holding the overlapping portions in alignment one upon the other and one of these guiding members is designed to coop erate with means on the opposite band porj tion, whereby the two are detachably connected together to holdthe band in any adjusted position, that is, the overlying members may slide bach one upon the other under Ytension of the inherent resiliency of the band and these ends are prevented from becoming entirely separated one from the other by these guide members on the band ends thus permitting the band to be enlarged suiiiciently to pass over the hand onto the arm of the wearer and then adjusted to the desired wearing size; and the following is a detailed description oi' the present embodiment of my invention and showing one means by which these advantageous results may be accomplishedr- With reference to the drawings, 10 designates a resilient band which may be made of metal or other suitable material and bent around into ring form with its end portions 11 and 12 arranged to overlie each other, the end portion 12 being provided witha socalled loop 13 which is secured thereto by means of solder or otherwise. The portion 14 of the loop is herein shown as extending into V-shape to form a iinish for the end 12 of the band.
The portion 11 of the band is arranged to extend through this loop 18 and its extremity is provided with an eye 15 for the reception of a pivot pin 16, and to this pivot pin is connected a bail member 17 which extends up and over the part 12 of the band and this part 12 is provided with a plurality of protuberances or abutments 18 which may be in the form of pins or other extending portions over which the cross-bar of the bail member 17 is passed and against which it is drawn under tension by the inherent spring in the stock of the band so that when it is desired to enlarge the bracelet it is only necessary to swing the bailmember 17 upwardly and then by its resiliency the band will open to its fullest extent, the ends being prevented for sepera'ting one from the other by the guide and bail end members 13' and 1 In some instances, I form the pins -or protuberances 18 slightly undercut on one side, as best illustrated in Figure 4, and I also bevel the engaging edge 20 of the cross bar 19 so that the spreading tension of the band has a. tendency to draw the bail down closer into engagement with the pin or protuberances over which it is hooked.
In some instances, instead of providing protuberances 18 on the face of the band, I form holes 21v in this band portion, as best illustrated in Figure 7, and in this case, I also provide a protuberance 22 on the under side of the bail 23, whereby when it is de .sir'ed this pin or protuberance on the bail will engage these diiierent holes to releasably retain the band in diHerent adjusted positions.
My improved bracelet is very simple and y practical in construction, may be enlarged to freely slip over the hand onto the arm of the wearer and may be contracted after being positioned on the arm to the desired wearing size.
The foregoing description is directed sole- I desire it to be understood that I reserve the privilege of resorting to all the mechanical changes to which the device is susceptible, the invention being defined and limited only by the terms of the appended claim.
I claim:
A bracelet formed of a resilient metal band bent into hoop shape with its ends overlying each other a substantial distance and having an inherent tendency to enlarge the size of the hoop, a bail member pivoted to one end portion of the said band through which the other end portion extends, said end portion carrying the said bail being on the inside of the hoop, and a pin extending outwardly from the other end portion of said band for engagement with said bail, said pin having an undercut shank portion, said bail having an inclined crossbar adapted to extend into the undercut portion of the said pin to engage and hold the band in a desired position against said lenlarging tension., and said bail being ldisengaged by swinging 'said bail member on its pivot whereby said hoop is permitted to enlarge.
In testimony whereof I aiix my signature.
EDWIN F. M. SPEIDEL.
