IMPROVEMENT IN LOCKETS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 175,230, dated March 21, 1876; application filed February 9, 1876.
To all whom it may concern 7 Be it known that we, GILBERT '1. WOGLOM, of the city, county, and State of New York, and LEVI MILLER, of Mont Blair, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented a useful Improvement in Lockets; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.
This invention relates to lockets whose frames are made of metal, and whose sides or front and back pieces are made of stone 'or other diferent material; and it particularly relates to What are known as mourning-lockets,
the sides or front and back of which are made of jet or other black substance.
' The object of the invention is to provide for making such lockets so as to conceal the metal frame from view as much as possible. To this end the invention consists in the combination of a frame composed of two bands or rings hinged together, and sides or front and back pieces of stone countersunk or recessed in the inner sides so as to fit outside or over and conceal such frame without interfering with the action of its hinge, whereby the before-mentioned object is attained.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the frame of a locket made according to our invention, said frame being partly open. Fig. 2 is an inside view of such a locket wide open. Fig. 3 is a transverse section thereof, and Fig. 4 a longitudinal section of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding partsin all the figures.
A B designate the frame of the locket. It consists of two metallic bands or rings, which are respectively designated A and B, and which are represented as of elliptical form, and hinged at a, so that they may be closed edge to edge or swing apart, at pleasure. The band or ring A is made considerably wider thanthe band or ring B, for reasons which will be presently explained, and said band or ring A is provided with a, ring or eye, b, by means of which the locket may be suspended from a chain or may be held in the hand. "0 O designate the sides or front and back pieces of the locket. They may be made of stone and jet or other materialof any suitable form, and are countersunk or recessed in the back to fit outside or; over and cover the bands or rings A B formingthe locket-frame, so as to conceal them from view as much as possible. such bands or rings by cement or otherwise, and are notched at corresponding portions of their edges so as not to interfere with the hinge a. The wider band or ring A of the frame projects from the side piece 0, which is secured to it, thereby forming a rim or flange a, but the narrower band or ring B of the frame does not extend quite to the inner edge of the side 0, which is secured to it, wherefore arebate, d, is formed, into which the said rim or flange c fits when the locket is closed, and hence the two cases or parts of the locket fit together in the usual way. The bands or rings of the said frame A B may be provided with bezels for the reception of glass to protect hair or pic- Lures arranged in the locket.
By means of this invention we are enabled more completely to conceal the metal portions of lockets, which is particularly desirable as regards mourning-lockets, because many people like these to be as plain and somb'er in appearance as possible. It also enables us to make very handsome and unique lockets of onyx and other beautiful stones and material, while exposing to view but little metal. Lockets thus made may be of various shapes.
What we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The combination of a frame composed of two bands or rings hinged together, and front and back pieces made of stone or other suitable material and recessed or countersunk so as to fit outside or over and conceal said bands or rings of the frame, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
