3 Claims.
This invention relates to improvements in that form of ornamental jewelry which goes by the name or" clip pin. A clip pin, generally speaking, consists of an ornamental body member, and a pin proper serving the strictly utilitarian purpose of holding the more ornate member of the assemblage where it will do the most good. My invention consists in shaping the body member so that it appears to pass into or through the clothing of the wearer. In creating this illusion it is necessary, of course, that the supporting pin and its connections be effectively concealed, and this I do. For example: I may make the ornamental part of the clip in the form of a convolute cornucopia, its flaring mouth spilling rubies, its tail waving gracefully near by. But only the mouth and the tail and their environs will be visible-will indeed exist, each being a truncate section. The tail will appear to pass into the supporting clothing to emerge some distance ofi as the mouth itself. An illusion of continuity is thus created, an illusion unshattered by the visible presence of anything so prosaic as a pin. All of this will be made clear in the accompanying drawing in which I have illustrated two embodiments of my invention.
In this drawing Figure 1 is a top view of a clip pin made in accordance with my invention in which the ornamental body member comprises the truncate mouth and tail sections of a cornucopia; Figure 2 is a bottom view of the same clip pin; Figure 3 is a side view showing the device mounted on a piece of clothing; Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure l but showing the pin mounted for wear; Figure 5 is an enlarged sectional detail through the pin hinge; Figure 6 is a side view similar to Figure 3, but showing a modified form, and Figure 7 is a bottom view of the device shown in Figure 6.
The clip pin shown in Figures 1 through 5 comprises an ornamental body member made up of a truncate mouth section I and tail section 2 of a, cornucopia, the sections being rigidly connected by means of a strut 3. Each of these sections is truncated along a substantially common plane which corresponds roughly with the surface of the clothing on which the clip is to be worn. The areas of truncation 4 and 5 are spaced apart a substantial distance which is bridged by a U-shaped pin 6 having two shanks 1. The pin is hinged on the underside of the body portion at the area 5. The hinge comprises a polygonal pintle 8, as shown in Figure 5, to which the shanks l are secured. A leaf spring 9 mounted within the tail 2 bears against the facets of the pintle and holds the pin firmly in either open or closed position. The area of truncation 4 on the mouth section I is provided with two pairs of spaced prongs ll each pair being designed to receive between its elements one of the shanks l. The area 5 is provided with a single prong l2.
To mount the clip, the shanks of the pin are passed through the clothing of the wearer as far as the hinge. The pin is then pushed toward the prongs H and I2 and snaps into place under the urging of spring 9'. The prongs are thus pressed into the clothing and in cooperation with the pin hold the clip secure. pin and all its connections are completely hidden by the clothing of the wearer and by the ornamental body of the clip pin itself and as the truncate ends of the mouth and tail sections are separated it appears as though the cornucopia passed bodily into and out of the clothing of the wearer, its mid-section being buried.
The embodiment of the invention shown in Figures 6 and 7 is not substantially different from that already described. The cornucopia is highly stylized and less elaborate. Instead of having pairs of prongs receiving the pins between them, I have provided this form with a pair of prongs I3 on each cloth-contacting area, the shanks of the pins lying outside of these prongs.
I have illustrated a body member contacting the clothing at two spaced areas, but this number can, quite obviously, be increased.
I claim:
1. A clip pin comprising a body member simulating the truncate mouth and tail of a cornucopia, mouth and tail being united for mutual support and the areas of truncation being spaced apart, and a pin bridging these areas, the pin and its connections being hidden by the clothing of the wearer and by the areas of truncation.
2. A clip pin comprising a body member made up of two connected truncated sections of an ornamental shape, the areas of truncation being substantially planar and in a single plane and spaced apart, a fastening pin secured adjacent the truncated area of one of the sections and bridging the space between the two truncated sections, and spring means resiliently urging the distal end of the fastening pin, when the fastening pin is in fastening position, to bear against the other of the truncated areas so that when, the fastening pin is passed through and secured to the clothing of the wearer it will be hidden and will press the clothing against said other truncated area and give the truncated sections an illusion of continuity.
As shown in Figure 4, the
3. A clip pin comprising a body member made up of two connected truncated sections of an ornamental shape, the areas of truncation being substantially planar and in a single plane and spaced apart, and a fastening pin secured adjacent the truncated area of one of the sections and bridging the space between the two truncated sections, the distal end of the fastening pin being adapted, when the fastening pin is in fastening position, to bear against the other of the truncated areas so that when the fastening pin is passed through and secured to the clothing of the wearer it will be hidden and will press the clothing against said other truncated area and give the truncated sections an illusion of continuity.
