BENEDICT B. LEDERER, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND.
ORNAMENTAL CHAIN.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Application filed January 23, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom "it may concern Be it known that I BENEDICT B. LEDERER, ofthe city and county ofProvidence, and State of RhodeIsland, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Ornamental Chains; and I hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.
This invention has reference to an improvementin the construction ofchains, and may also be applied to chain-bracelets.
The invention consists in the peculiar construction of such chains by cutting slits into tubular wire, cutting the same into lengths equal to the width of the chain, and securing the same together to form a chain or bracelet, as will be more fully set forth hereinafter.
Figure 1 is a view of my improved chain. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of one of the lengths of tubular wire forming part of my improved chain. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of the connecting-rings. Fig. 4 is a view and section of a piece of tubular wire partly cut to form the parts of the chain. Fig. 5 is a sectional view, showing the manner of connecting the links. Fig. 6 is aperspective view, showing a chain made entirely of tubular links out into the sides ofthe tubes and secured together by wires.
Whatare known in theart as roller-chains have long been made out of rings secured together by weaving continuous wires through the rings and by uniting such rings by means of wires or staples. Such chains have been chain bracelets. By my present invention made much stronger and cheaper than in the old way.
In the drawings, A is a chain, B a slide, C an ornamented end piece, and D a fringe. The chain is made up of pieces of tubular wire, into the sides of which slits are cut. E is such a piece of tubular wire having the slits cut into necting-rings by which the tubular pieces E E,
through the slits and around the uncut portion of the tube.
Patent No. 258,084, dated May 16, 1882.
In the modification shown in Fig. 6, which consists of a number of tubular pieces, E E, having notches cut into their sides, so that the metal of one set will enter the slots in the other, they are secured by pieces of wire inserted between the two links, so as to lock them together. The wires may be secured by solder, or by bending the ends inward. I
I amaware that chain-links have been made out of tubular wire ornamented by cutting notches into the sides or edges thereof; but such links were secured together on their ends and the axis of the tube was on a line with the line of the chain. Such chains had no resemblance to and could not he used in roller-chains. V lam aware that rings placed side byside,but some distance apart, and attached together by means of wire soldered thereto, said wire serving as supports for the connecting-links, are old.
place of I am also aware that boxes having the top makingthe chains in this manner I dispense with all soldering ofsections or rings and with staples and wire, thus making a cheaper and more serviceable chain.
Having thus described my invention, [claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. As a new article of manufacture, a chain made up in part or whole ofpieces of tube, having notches cut'into the sides thereof, placed transversely to the chain and secured together along the sides of the tubes, as described.
2. In an ornamental chain, the combination, with thetubular links E E, placed transversely to the line of the chain and having notches cut into the sides thereof, of the rings F F, arranged to connect the tubular links together, as described.
BENEDICT B. LEDERER.
