Nov. 20, 1934. L. MAZER 1,981,521
ARTICLE OF JEWELRY Filed April 20, 1934 INYENTQR ou/s Mayer ms ATTORNE Y Patented Kiev. 2%, 1934 UNITED STATES 7 Claims.
The invention relates to an article of jewelry and more particularly to an article of this nature in which the parts may be combined to form ornamental, distinctive and extremely good looking effects. i
The article of jewelry broadly comprises a supporting member, a pair of ear clips, and
ornamental bar and a dress clip. These parts may be combined or interchanged in various manners to form different pieces of jewelry as will become apparent in the following speciflcation.
Referring to said specification and to drawing forming a part thereof:
Fig. l is a perspective view of the supporting member;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the ear clip;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the ornamental bar; i
Fig. '1 is a perspective view of the dress clip;
Fig. 5 is a front elevation showing the ornamental bar combined with the ear clips to form a brooch;
Fig. 6 is a rear elevation of the parts shown in Fig. 5;
Fig. 7 is an end view of the arrangement illustrated in Figs. 5 and 6;
Fig. 8 is a front elevation of the dress clip combined with the ear clips to form another type of brooch; and
Fig. 9 is a sectional elevation taken on line 9-9 of Fig. 8.
Referring again to said drawing and particularly to Fig. 1 the supporting member 10 comprises a bar or strip 11 having the retaining pin 12 hinged at 13 on its under side and provided with any conventional type of catch 14.
The strip of the supporting member has grooves 15 on its under side and adjacent either end, the purpose of which will be hereinafter described. The strip is further provided with two or more pins 16, on the upper side and spaced intermediate the grooves 15. The purpose of said pins will likewise be hereinafter described.
the
The ear clip 19 illustrated in Fig. 2 comprises an arcuate section 20 which may have any desired ornamentation thereon. Pivoted at 21 to the section 20 is the clip member 22. The clip member 22 is normally urged toward the section 20 or held in a closed position by a spring 23 mounted on the pintle 22 in a conventional manner. The ear clip thus far described is of known construction. Y
The novel feature of the ear clip resides in a spring tongue 24 formed from the body of the clip member or suitably secured. thereto. The width of the spring tongue is the same as that of the grooves 15 in the supporting member.
In securing the ear clips to the supporting member the spring tongues 24 are slipped into so the grooves 15 as shown in Figs. 6 and 7. They snugly engage the grooves and are thus firmly holding the ear clips on the supporting member forming part of an ornamental brooch later described. When it is desired to use the ear clips as car clips they are easily removed from the supporting member and the spring tongues 24 do not interfere in any manner when they are functioning as ear clips.
The ornamental bar 30 shown in Fig. 3 may be 761 formed of crystal or any other material lending itself to decoration. It may be of different cross sections and as illustrated is substantially circular in cross section with one side slabbed off. It is provided with two or more small apertures or sockets 31, the number corresponding to the number of pins 16 on the supporting member.
The arrangement illustrated in Figs. '5, 6 and 7 show the ornamental bar 30 and ear clips 19 50 mounted on the supporting member 10 to form a brooch. The arcuate sections 20 of the ear clips are closed over the ornamental bar and the pins 16 cooperating with the apertures 31 prevent any longitudinal displacement of the 5 bar in relation to the supporting member. Thus it will be apparent that a very good looking bar pin or brooch may be formed of the supporting member, the ornamental bar and the ear clips.
The dress clip 40 comprises the front ornamental face 41 to which is pivoted at 42 with a conventional type of spring hinge, the clip member 43. Two or more bosses 44 are built up on the front section 41 and these bosses are pro- 35 vided with apertures or sockets 45 to acco1nm'odate the pins 16 on the supporting member. The bosses may also be provided with lips 45 thus forming a snug seat for the strip 11 of the supporting member. H
Figs. 8 and 9 illustrate the .dress clip 40 mounted on the supporting member between the ear clips to form another distinctive style or" brooch.
The dress clip and ear clips will naturally be made up to harmonize with each other and thus the dress clip and ear clips may be worn separately and make an attractive appearance or as heretofore explained the ear clips and either the ornamental bar or the dress clip may be mounted on the supporting member to form brooches.
Numerous changes may be made in details of construction by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A supporting member for a piece of jewelry, said supporting member comprising a strip having grooves on one side adjacent its ends said grooves acting to prevent longitudinal movement of ornamentalclips forming part of said piece of jewelry and adapted to cooperate with said grooves, a plurality of pins on the oppositeside and means for securing said supporting member to a garment.
