UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE FRANK A. WINTERS, F ASTORIA, NW YORK WATCH SUPPORTING BRACKET Application filed October 12, 1929. Serial No. 399,271.
My invention is an improvement in supvided at its edges with outwardly projecting porting brackets and relates more especially curved spring fingers 11 equally spaced apart to a bracket designed for the purpose of supwith their terminals turned back, as at 12, porting a watch on the instrument board of to facilitate placing the watch in engagement 5 an automobile. with the fingers said plate being cut away as 50 The primary object of my invention is to shown for lightness of construction and pro provide a watch supporting bracket for auto vided with rearwardly projecting knobs 13 mobiles which will hold the watch securely for spacing the plate away from the wall or in place on the instrument board and permit board to which the bracket is attached. The

In connecting the watch to the support- In carrying out my invention I employ a ing bracket one member of the looped metal plate 10 preferably circular in shape and prostrip or connector is passed through the ring 17 of the watch so that said ring will enga e the loop 19 of the connector and the body portion 20 of the latter is then positioned in the rear of the metal plate of the bracket so that the attaching screw 14 will pass through the slot 21 on into the instrument board. The connector thereby secures the watch to the supporting bracket and permits the watch to be placed in engagement with the fingers for supporting it by the bracket, as well as allows the watch to be swung outwardly from the bracket for the purpose of winding the same. It will be seen therefore that the connector 16 not only serves the purpose of securing the watch to the bracket against its being entirely removed but also provides for swinging it away in winding as its close proximity to the instrument board would otherwise make it inconvenient to turn the winding stem. It will be seen also that my improved bracket presents a simple and inexpensive device which will neatly support a watch on the instrument board of an automobile as the only parts of the bracket which are exposed to view are the ends of the fingers which grip the edges of the watch.
I claim:
1. A watch supportingvbracket for automobiles comprising an attaching plate having an apertu-re'for the attaching screw, gripping 'fin'gers extending outwardly from the plate to receive the watch between them, a member held in place by the attaching screw and in sliding engagement with the attaching plate and a loop at the outer end of said sliding member with which the ring of the watch is adapted to engage.
2. A watch supporting bracket for automobiles comprising an attaching plate having a central aperture for the attaching screw, knobs projecting rearwardly from the plate to space the same from the instrument board of the automobile, and a slidable member held in place by the attaching screw and having a loop with which the ring of the watch is adapted to engage, said slidable member being at the back of the'plate between the aforesaid knobs.
3. A watch supporting bracket for automobiles comprising an attaching plate having outwardly projecting spring fingers between which the watch is held, knobs projecting rearwardly from the plate to space the same from the instrument board, the plate having a central aperture through which the attaching'screw passes, and a member slidable at the back of the plate between the aforesaid knobs and having a loop with which the ring of the watch is adapted to engage.
' 4; A watch supporting bracket for automobiles comprising an attachin plate having outwardly projecting spring ngers between which the watch is held, knobs projecting rearwardly'from the plate tospace the same to the bracket.
