DIAMOND STUDDED WATCH ORNAMENTATION Filed March 21, 1958 N V E N TO R flan? id 1% n ATTO I"? N EY Patented Nov. 7, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE DIAMOND STUD'DED WATCH ORNAlHENTATION 3 Claims.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a diamond studded watch ornamentation.
More specifically, the invention provides for ornamenting a wrist watch or similar watch of conventional construction, along the peripheral edge of its dial, crystal, or along the edge of the bezel beneath which the watch crystal is inserted.
Still further it is proposed to characterize the ornamentation by diamonds, rhinestones, imitation stones, or other types of ornamentation in any style and size of watches.
A further object of this invention is in one form of the invention to provide a means for mounting the stones on the peripheral edge of the watch dial proper and to form the crystal from magnifying glass to enlarge the size of the stones when viewed therethrough.
A further object of this invention is in another form of the invention to provide an annular member having the stones mounted thereon and which is formed from arcuate sections hingedly connected together to pivot in a plane adjacent the dial of the watch and which is adapted to be removed therefrom by inserting a tool through openings formed in the side of the watch case for freeing the crystal.
For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
In the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this disclosure:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a watch having dial studded ornamentation according to this invention. 1
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the annular ring per se.
40 Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 33 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is an elevational view partly in section of the watch shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 4 illustrating 45 a modification of the invention.
Fig. 6 is an enlarged detailed view of a portion of Fig. 5.
Fig. 7 is another view similar to Fig. 4 but illustrating a further modification of the invention.
Fig. 8 is a view similar to Fig. 6 illustrating another modification of the invention.
Fig. 9 is an enlarged detail view similar to a portion of Fig. 5 illustrating a still further modi- 55 fication.
Fig. 10 is a view looking in the direction of the line l0iil of Fig. 9.
A diamond studded watch ornamentation, according to this invention, is to be in combination with a watch having a case l0, a dial H, and watch mechanism I2. Ornamental stones are mounted along the peripheral portion of the dial ii for the purpose of enhancing the watch, and comprises an annular member 13 which is adapted to be inserted beneath the bezel w of the watch case H1. 10
The annular member I3 is formed with a serrated inner edge i3 and each of the points divided ofi by the serrations l3 has a stone l4 applied thereto. The annular member 13 is inserted beneath the bezel Ill of the watch case iii and 15 has its bottom face resting on the dial of the watch. The crystal l5 which is entered into the bezel Hi has its peripheral edge engaging a circular groove l3 formed adjacent the outer edge of the annular member I3 for holding the annular member in position within the watch case. The stones l4 which are applied to the annular member 53 may be diamonds, rhinestones or imitation stones of any desired type.
According to the modification shown in Figs. 5 and 6 the dial I I has the stones l6 applied directly thereto. As shown in Fig. 6 the stones it are set directly into the outer face of the dial l l around the peripheral edge thereof. The crystal l5 which is inserted into the bezel lfi of the watch case it] is formed from magnifying glass for enlarging the stones l6 when viewed from the front of the watch case 10 with the crystal in position therein.
According to the modification shown in Fig. 7 the watch crystal [5" is inserted beneath the bezel W of the watch case ID for covering the dial ll thereof and has the stones [1 applied directly thereto. These stones are applied to the peripheral edge of the crystal [5" and are supported upon studs or similar elements l2 which extend through openings I8 formed in the crystal 15''. In other respects this form of the invention is similar to the previous forms.
According to the modification shown in Fig. 8 the bezel It! and the watch case I i) is formed along its inner peripheral edge with serrations 2t and each of the points divided oil by the serrations 20 is formed with a stone 2!. The stones 2] are set directly in the bezel it and the edges of the crystal I5 are adapted to be inserted beneath the pointed portions of the base lii In other respects this form of the invention is similar to the previous forms.
According to the modification shown in Figs. 9
and 10 the stones 22 are inserted into an annular member 23 formed of separate arcuate sections 23 23 23, etc., which are hingedly connected together for releasably supporting the annular ring 23 in the watch case 10. The annular member 23 is formed along its peripheral edge with a groove 23 into which the peripheral edge of the watch crystal i5 is adapted to be engaged. This watch crystal is inserted beneath the bezel ll] of the watch case l0 and is adapted to hold the arcuate sections from which the annular ring 23 is formed in their extended positions. The watch case [0 is formed with openings [0 beneath the bezel H) and the sections 23*, 23 etc., forming the member 23 are hingedly connected together at points 24. A tool may be inserted through the openings for engaging against the outer peripheral edge of the arcuate sections of the member 23 and pressure applied thereto for disengaging the groove 23 from the edge of the crystal I 5 so that the crystal may be removed when it is desired to remove the member. In other respects this form of the invention is similar to the previous forms.
While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:
1. In combination with a watch having a case with an opening for a dial and a dial beneath said opening, an ornamental annular member resting against the dial along its peripheral edge portion and having a groove along its edge portion, and a crystal for the watch having its edges engaging beneath the bezel of the case and into said groove.
2. In combination with a watch having a case with an opening for a dial and a dial beneath said opening, an ornamental annular member resting against the dial along is peripheral edge portion and having a groove along its edge portion, a crystal for the Watch having its edges engaging beneath the bezel of the case and into said groove, serrations formed along the inner edge portion of said annular member, and a precious stone mounted on each of the points divided off by said serrations for ornamenting saidannular member.
3. In combination with a watch having a case with an opening for a dial and a dial beneath said opening, an ornamental annular member resting against the dial along its peripheral edge portion and having a groove along its edge portion, and a crystal for the watch having its edges engaging beneath the bezel of the case and into said groove, said annular member being made of arcuate sections hingedly connected so as to pivot in a plane adjacent the plane of said dial, and said case being formed with openings in its sides aligned with.
said arcuate sections through which an element may be engaged to force the sections to pivot free from the holding action of said crystal.
