ATTORNEYS Patented Dec. 1, 1942 UNlTED STATES PATENT OFFICE BELT BAND FOR WATCHES Maximillian A. Von Erdmannsdorfl, Fresno, Calif. Application October 14, 1940, Serial No. 361,036
1 Claim.
This invention relates in general to an improvement in watch supporting bands, and in particular the invention is directed to, and it is my principal object to provide a novel form of band adapted for attachment to a watch of the wristwatch type whereby such watch may be secured on a mans belt rather than on the wrist as is now customary.
A further object of the invention is to provide a belt band, as above, which may be readily applied to conventional wrist watches without alteration thereof in any manner.
A further object of the invention is to produce a simple and inexpensive device and yet one which will be exceedingly effective for the purpose for which it is designed.
These objects I accomplish by means of such structure and relative arrangement of parts as will fully appear by a perusal of the following specification and claim.
In the drawing similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several views: Figure 1 is a front view of a watch mounted on a belt with my belt band.
Figure 2 is an end view of the band and watch assembled.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the belt band detached.
Referring now more particularly to the characters of reference on the drawing, the belt band for watches comprises a relatively stiff and thin strip I, preferably of bendable metal, or other suitable material, having the end portions thereof extending laterally in the same direction to escape; the length of the strip l and end extensions 2 being such as to assure snug engagement of the belt in the slot.
In practice, the band may be manufactured initially flat and in different sizes whereby the watchmaker may select the proper size and bend the end extensions so as to provide a proper fit. Also, the projecting of the ends of the sleeves, beyond the sides of the end extensions, can be cut down to properly fit the sleeves between the ears 6 of any given watch.
The watch is preferably worn on the belt in inverted position as shown in Fig. 1 to facilitate reading of the time by the wearer.
Belt mounting of a wristwatch is especially suited for use by workmen, truck drivers, and others whose type of work endangers a watch supported on the Wrist, as Well as for use by sportsmen and others.
The notches 5 are provided so that if desired to remove the spring pins 4 from sleeves 3, an instrumentality may engage the pin body through said slot whereby to move such pin body lengthwise of the sleeve to an extent permitting easy removal of the pin body from the other end of the sleeve.
From the foregoing description it will be readily seen that I have produced such a device as substantially fulfills the objects of the inven- 0 tion as set forth herein.
used to connect wrist straps with wrist watches.
slot through which a mans belt 8 may be passed in the manner shown in Fig. 1. The watch is thus mounted on the belt and firmly held against While this specification sets forth in detail the present and preferred construction of the device, still in practice such deviations from such detail may be resorted to as do not form a departure from the spirit of the invention, as defined by the appended claim.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and useful and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A device to mount a wrist watch in supported relation on a belt with the ends of the watch disposed adjacent the top and bottom edges of the belt, the watch having transversely spaced attachment ears at its opposite ends; said device comprising a relatively stiff and wide strip of a length not less than the width of the belt to be engaged, lateral extensions on the strip at its ends having sleeves adapted to project between the ears of the watch from the back side thereof and pins to project through the ears and sleeves; the lateral extent of the extensions back of the sleeves being substantially equal to the thickness of the belt to be engaged whereby a belt receiving slot will be formed by the back of the watch, the extensions and the strip.
