3 Claims. (Cl. 29-160.6)
This invention relates to a method of making an article of jewelry, more particularly to a cuff button or like article, and has for one of its objects to provide an arrangement whichwill be simple to manufacture and one which will provide but a minimum of assembly operations.
Another object of the invention is to provide a more rigid attachment of two parts together by reason of the construction provided.
Another object of the invention is toprovide an article of jewelry and an arrangementof attaching two parts together without the necessity of the use of solder,
A further object of the invention is to, in some cases, provide an arrangement whereby the two connected parts will be prevented from relative rotation which may be formed at the same time that other connecting parts are formed.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a cuff link which is so constructed that it is rigid in its connection between the head and the adjacent part and one easy of assembly where multiple quantities of the links are assembled.
With these and other objects in View, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, as will be more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawing:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the head of a cuif button with a connection to the other head attached thereto.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the under face of the cuff button with arms for supporting the opposite head extending therefrom.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the under face of the head alone.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the arms alone.
Fig. 5 is a sectional View through the arms and head connected together.
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a modified head alone looking at its under surface.
Fig. 7 is an elevation of a cuff link embodying two heads of the structure shown in Fig. 6.
In the construction of articles of jewelry, such, for instance, as cuff buttons, it is usual to attach the connection to the head by means of soldering. Soldering two parts together causes a discoloration of their surface requiring pickling operations to remove the soldering flux and other disadvantages from a standpoint of skilled labor in assembly are required and in order to improve upon this prior form of operations, I have arranged to so strike the head of the cuff link that an ornamental face may be provided and at the same time the back may be so formed in relief as to provide an upstanding projection and in some cases also a recess about this projection for the attachment of some part to the head, and the following is a more detailed description of the present embodiment of this invention, il-
. lustrating the preferred means by which these advantageous results may be accomplished:
With reference to the drawing, Iii designates the head of a cuff link which is provided on its face with a relief ornamental formation II while its back surface I2, when struck to form the relief formation of the face, is at the same time provided with an upstanding projection I4, which is all one piece of material with the head. This projection may be surrounded with the recess I5 somewhat below the rear surface I2. This recess I5 is shown as elliptical in shape but may be any out-of-round shape desired.
In the modified form shown in Fig. 6, the head I0 may have a plain front face or embellished front face such as II illustrated above, while its back surface I2 has a projection I6 raised therefrom so as to be all one piece with the head III, the same being raised by means of striking the head so that the metal will flow into a recess in a die in a known manner to form the projection I6 shown. This projection may be provided with a hole II for purposes of attachment as will be more fully hereinafter explained.
A U-shaped member I8, as shown in Fig. 4, has a base portion I9 and is of a shape and size to fit the recess I5 as the projection I i extends through the hole 20 so that no rotation of the member I8 relative to the head III may be had. The hole 20 is of a size to fit and receive the upstanding projection I4 while opposite arms 2| extend upwardly from the base in spaced relation and are provided with openings 22 for the support of an axle upon which the head member 23 may rotate. Attachment is then provided by riveting over a head 24 of the projection I4 so as to firmly hold the base I9 to the head III which, as will be seen, may be accomplished without the use of solder.
In the construction shown in Fig. 6, the connection is by a loose link arrangement between two heads III, the link being designated 25 provided with openings 26 for the reception of a ring connection 21 which passes through the opening 26 and the opening I! in the projection I6, whereby a flexible connection of two heads of a cuff link are provided, also without the use of solder.
The foregoing description is directed towards the method and construction illustrated, but I desire it to be understood that I reserve the privilege of resorting to all the equivalent changes to which the construction and method are susceptible, the invention being defined and limited only by the terms of the appended claims.
I claim: 7
1. The method of attaching two parts of a jewelry article together which consists in striking a recess in the surface of a head member of out-of-round shape and simultaneously forming a single integral projection in the recess at the center thereof and extending outwardly from its bottom, forming a U-shaped member having a base portion of corresponding out-of-round shape to fit snugly the recess and perforated to receive the projection, placing said base portion of the U-shaped member into said recess so as to be seated therein with the projection extending through the hole in said base, and then heading the end of said projection over and upon the inside face of the base portion of said U-member adjacent said projection to firmly hold the parts together.
'2. The method of attaching two parts of a jewelry article together which consists in. striking a recess in the surface of a head member of out-of-round shape and simultaneously forming a single integral projection in the recess at the center thereof and extending outwardly from its bottom, forming a U-shaped member having a base portion of the thickness of the depth of said recess and of corresponding out-of-round shape to fit snugly the recess and be flush with the surrounding surface of the head and perforated to receive the projection, placing said base portion of the U-shaped member into said recess so as to be seated therein with the projection extending through the hole in said base, and then heading the end of said projection over and upon the inside face of the base portion of said U-member adjacent said projection to firmly hold the parts shape to fit snugly the recess and perforated to receive the projection, placing said base portion of the U-shaped member into said recess so as to be seated therein with the projection extending through the hole in said base, and then heading the end of said projection over and upon the inside face of the base portion of said U-mernber adjacent said projection to firmly hold the parts together.
