This invention relates to wrist watch protectors, 01 the like, and has for an object to Erovide a dgvice of this character that can e conveniently and quickly attached to a wrist watch and which will efi'ectively serve as protective means from dust, moisture 01 other foreign matter.
A further object of this invention is t'o provide an article of the above described character that can be applied to all forms of wrist watches without changing 0r injuring the same. 1
A still further object is to provide a protector with means for securing the same in osition und which may be readily unfastened to facilitate the removal of the article.
Still another object of the invention resides in the rovision of a protector including a transparent sight opening for exposing the face of the watch, said opening be1ng encompassed by absorptive material to protect the same.
With these objects in view, together with others which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the novel formation, combination, a.nd arran ement of arts, all as will be descr ibed more u1ly here inafter, illustrated in the drawings, und. particularl pointed out in the claims.
In sa1d drawings Figure 1 is an elevation of a typical form of wrist watch with my invehtion applied thereto.
Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the same and illustrating the means for uniting the fastenin means. v 1
ig. 3 is a. rear blevation of the protector removed from the watch; und
Fig. 4 is a central transverse sectional view, taken substantially on the line 4-4 cf. Fig;3. In view 0f the restriction placed upon watchmakers as to the size of a wrist watch,
it has become necessary to compactly arrange high cost maybe readily attributed. Under these co nditions it becomgs necessary to 1'0- hat the meqh'anism thereof from the e ects o f moisture, dirt, or the like, und also shocks 0r jars, to which it is subjected in view of its exposed position on the wearer. v
T0 this end I propose to provide a rotective covering for a wrist watch, whic may be conve1iiently applied thereto without injuringor changih the same, und which will permit handy re erence thereto when con-. sulting the time.
Referring now in detail to the accompanying drawings, wherein like characters of refende denote similar parts throughout the several views, let 5 denote the face of a typical wrist watch t0 which latter are connected straps 6 and 7 the f0rmer ca rrying a buckle 8 fo facilitate the attachment of the timepiece to the wrist of 12 wearer.
The protector, which cdmprises the sub- 'ect matter of this invention, comprises a ody portion 9, formiad from relatively flexibl e material, adapted to withstand the effec'ts of moisture, 01 the 1ike, said body port-i0n 9 beim provided with extensions 10 and 11 dispose laterally thereof und adaptedto embrace that portion of the straps 6 and 7 adjacent their points'of connect1on to said watch.
Suitably secured to each of said extensions 10 and 11, ;re fastening means 12 and 13, the same com-prising strips of flexible material and carrying at their outer ends a typical form of snap-fastener comprising the parts 14 und 15, as cle'arly shown in Figs. 3 und 4.
In view of the flexibility of the structure as a whole the same may be sli'pped overthe strap 7 and over the watch to the position shovirn in Fig. l, the natural or inherent properties of the protector permitting such placement. After the protector has been placed as aforesaid, the fastenin means 12 90 and 13 are euch wrappedamundthe extensions 10 and 11, adjacent the junctu're of the body Portion and said exten sionsand the a1ts 14 und. 15 secured as shown in Fig. 2.
husthe complete watch is ei1veloped und 95 protaqted from extraneous matter such as dirt, 'moisture or the like.
In Order that convenient access may be had to the face 5 ofthe wat ch, as for example the consultation of the time, I have prowded a sight opening 16 of sufficiei1t area to expose saidextensipns over said s@raps said bqdy seid face 5 and 120 this opening I apply a port1on havmg a s1ght open1ng for exposmg piece of transparent material 17 in order that the face of the watch.
dusc or other accumulations may be positively excludecl.
From the foregoing it is apparent that the delicate structure of a wrist watch is amply protected and at the same time the function of a watch, 130 wit: divulging the time, is not in any way 01 manner impaired.
As an additional precaution I propose to surround said sight opening 16 with a frame of absorptive material 18, which may be formecl from textile material neatly braided 01 cwistecl t0 add, rather than to detract, from the appearance of the protector. In view 0f this arrangement any residual moisture will be readily absorbed before passage t0 seid opening.
It Will, of course, be understood, that said protector may be made in various forms and sizes to conform to the standard casings of wrist watches. It will equally be appreciatecl that various colors may be adopted in order to enhance the attractiveness of the des1gn.
Having thus fully described m invention, I hereby reserve the benefit; of alfchanges in form, arrangement, order, or use of parts, es it is evident that many minor changes may be macle therein without departing from the spir-it of the invention or the scope of the following claims:
l. A protector for a wrist watch composed of flexible, waterproof material and including a body portion adapt d to envelop the casing ofa Watch, flexible extensions disposed laterally of saicl body portion and adapted to fit over the straps adjacent said casing,
fastening means embracing seid extensions, said body portion having a sight opening for exposing the face o:f the watch and absorptive rnaterial arranged marginally of said open- 1ng.
2. A protector fore wrist watch composed of flexible, waterproof material and including a body portion adapted to envelop the casing of said Wa'tch, flexible extensions disposed laterally of said body portion and adapted to fit over the straps adjacent said casing, fastening means embracing said extensions, said body portion having a sight opening for exposing the face 0f the watch, transparent material arranged' in said opening, and absorptive material disposed marginally oi said opening.
3. A protector for a wrist watch including a body porti0n composed of flexible material adapted to encase the exterior of the watch,
extensions disposed laterally of said body portion and -adapted to fit over the straps carrying the watch, and fastening means embracii1g said extensions and comprising separable parts adapted to assure a snug fit of In testimony whereof I aflix my Signature.
