UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
SAMUEL J. HAMMOND AND GEORGE HODGKISS, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
BRACELET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 236,806, dated January 18, 1881.
Application filed December 16, 1880. (No model.)
To all 'whom 'it may concern Be it known that we, SAMUEL J. HAMMOND and GEORGE HODGKISS, both of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented acertain new and. useful Improvement in Bracelets; and we do hereby declare that the following speciflcation, taken in connection with the drawings furnished and forming a part of the same, is a full, clear, and complete description of our invention.
Our invention has special reference to that class of bracelets which are generally known as band7 bracelets, and are constructed of thin strips of metal, rubber, horn, celluloid, or equivalent material; and it is designed to furnish such bracelets with means for holding them upon the arms, which shall be simple and of such an effective character that the bracelet cannot be displacedfrom the arm without special manipulation.
In carrying out our invention thebracelet is constructed in two sections having a curved or nearly circular outline, the ends of said sections being provided with means by which they areconnected or interlocked, one embracing the other, and by their clamping or spring action are held firmly in position upon the arm of the wearer, as hereinafter shown and described.
Referring to the drawings, Figure l represents one of our bracelets, in perspective, with the sections thereof in position as when worn upon the arm. Fig. 2 represents the bracelet with the sections thereof extended, as when being removed from or placed upon the arm. Fig. 3 represents, in perspective, the sections of the bracelet detached. Fig. 4=repres`ents a bracelet provided with a dii'erentform of locking device.
A and B represent the two sections of the bracelet, which are constructed of any of the thin elastic materials, such as are commonlyr employed in the manufacture of this class of bracelets-as, for instance, metal, rubber, horn, celluloid, &c. The upper section, A, is
provided at its center, when desired, with the usual ornament, as at a. As shown, the sections of lthe ,bracelet'are of a curved or nearly circular shape,'th`eirl ends' havinga spring or 5o clampingaction, owingr to the elastic character of the material of which the bracelet is composed.
One of the sections of the bracelet-in this instance the upper section, A-is lnade slightly larger in diameter than the other section, so as to be capable of readily embracing the outer side of the latter when the sections are in position as shown in Fig. 1. Adjacent to its ends the section A is provided with longitudinal slots, as at b.
The lower section, B, in order to lit within and be embraced by the upper section, A, is made with a slightly-smaller diameter than the latter, and is provided at its ends with locking-studs c, the latter having their under surfaces inclined. When the two sections of the bracelet are placed in proper position the locking-studs cof the section B are passed through the slots b of the section A, and rest upon the outer side thereof' across the slots. It will be seen that when the two sections are connected, as shown, the tendency of each, on account of its elastic character, is to exert upon the other an inward pressure, (the section B acting upon section A through the locking-studs 0,) giving the bracelet a iirm and secure hold upon the arm of the wearer when in position thereon.
To remove the bracelet from the arm it is necessary that one section thereof should be grasped by the fingers, and, force being exerted thereon, the connection of the lockingstuds and slots 011 the different sections admits of the ready separation, of the latter, as shown in Fig: 2, and the bracelet can be removed from the arm. To place it upon the arm the sections thereof are drawn sufficiently to admit of being passed over the hand, and the drawing force having been removed the sections adjust themselves upon the arm.
The construction of the bracelet, as herein described and shown, practically forms a double spring-fastening which is instantaneous and reliable in operation, free from the possibility of becoming out of repair, and cannot be removed from the arm of the wearer without the special manipulation above mentioned.
In Fig. 4 we illustrate a modified form of roo fastening for the sections of the bracelet, in respectively, with locking studs or tongues which locking-tongues d are made by cutting and longitudinal slots, substantially as de- 1o the ends of the section B in the form shown. scribed.
Having thus described our invention, we SAMUEL J. HAMMOND. 5 claim as new and desire to secure by Letters GEORGE HODGKISS.
Patent- Witnesses A bracelet composed of two sections, one P. A. KELLER,
arranged to embrace the other, and provided, A. DUNCAN.
