HERBERT G. MAOKINNEY, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND.
EAR=Rl-NG.
SEECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 252,610, dated January 24, 1882.
Application filed October 17, 1881. (No modeh) To all whom tt may conctn:
Be it known that I, HERBERT G. MAOKIN- NEY, of the city and county of Providence, and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain Improvements in Ear-Rings,of which the following is a specification.
Pendants and other ornamental parts of ear-rings are usually suspended from the ear by means of a U-shaped bow inverted, one
arm of which is passed through the perforation of the ear. To guard against accidental detachment the ends of the how are usually united by a hook or clasp, which is soldered rigidly on the shank end to one arm of the bow, and extends across, so that the other arm is sprung into the hook end. To insert or remove the ear-ring the free end of the bow must be relieved from the hook and bent back to gain sufficient space between itself and the end of the hook to allow the lower end of the lobe of the ear to pass between itself and the hook when the bow is inserted or removed. This construction renders the operation extremely inconvenient, and as a Further consequence the bow is frequently broken by its being repeatedl y bent backward and forward every time the ear-ring is inserted or removed.
My invention consists in providing the bow with a hook which can be turned to one side,
0 leaving the-space between the arms of the bow clear for insertion or removal, after which itis returned to its position and held there by the bow being sprung into place inside the curved end of the hook, thus obviating all necessity for bending the wire of the bow, as the natural elasticity of the bow gives spring enough for the operation.
The accompanying drawings illustrate some of the forms in which my invention is carried Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention, the position of part of the lobe of the car being shown in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a blank to be soldered to the short end of the bow. Fig. 3 is a cross-section of Fig. 1 on line 00 a". Fig. 4 is a sideview of the hook, showing one mode of attachment to allow of the swing motion. Figs. 5 and 6 show modifications of construction for allowing the hook to turn.
B is the how. I) is the arm of how to which the hook is fast. b is the free arm of the bow. P is a pendant attached to the bow, and h is the hook. (I is a small disk of metal soldered to the end of the bow, and provided with lips I I, which are turned over upon and confine the hook h, the latter being a flat piece of metal laid upon the upper surface of the disk,and through a perforation in which the arm 1) passes, said perforation beinglarge enough to allow the hook it to turn easily around I). The lips l l are so located as-to arrest the hook when it is swung forward into theright position for the opposite arm, Z), to be sprung into the hook, and also to arrest it when it is swung hack to about right angles to the above position.
In Fig. 4 the lips of the disk are extended into a continuous flange,f, which is turned over to conlinethe hook, except that the flange is cut away for about one-fourth of the circumference to allow the hook to swing to the requisite extent.
In Figs. 5 and 6 I have shown the lip l as forming a part of the hook it, and turned under to embrace a portion of the disk. also shown the disk cut away to form shoulders which limit the swing of the. hook.
In case the ornamental portion of the earring is attached rigidly to some part of the how the hook may be attached thereto.
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
l. The bow of an earring provided with the hook h, hinged to one arm of the bow, and arranged to turn in a segment of a circle between stops located as described, said hook being adapted to engage the opposite arm of the bow, substantially as described, and for the purposes specified.
2. In combination with thehook h of an earring, the disk d, with the lips l t, or equivalent flangef, all substantially as described, and for the purpose specified.
The hook it of an ear-ring, provided with the lips I l, in combination with the disk d, substantially as specified.
