terial, such as plastiematerial or a thickened `edge woven as apart of'tlie textile material or as a series of metallic or otherv material, beads vand the like, any of which would form an ornamental edge, around the wrist band.
A further object of the invention is to provide a wrist band of the kind mentioned having the ornamental appearance of the kind mentioned and yet being very simple in construction, extremely durable and inexpensive to make.
These and other objects will be more fully explained as this description progresses.
Now referring to the accompanying drawings in which similar numerals of reference designate the same parts throughout the several figures of the drawings.
Fig. 1 is an edge view of a wrist band in which my invention is included.
Fig. Z'is a side view of the wrist band shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the wrist band, the band being in a flattened position as it would be, prior to the forming of the wrist band into the shape shown in Fig. l, parts of the wrist band are broken away for convenience of illustration.
Fig. 4 is a longitudinal detail sectional view through the wrist band, the view being as seen from the line IV-IV in Fig. 3 and looking in the direction of the arrows.
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the wrist band that is made up in the spring clamping type of l band.
Fig. 6 is a plan view of the fiexible'type of band, having a buckle fastening.
In the drawings, Figs. 1 to 5, inclusive, is shown the spring type of wrist band which comprises an upper facing element It and a lower facing element II, the facing elements I0 and II are made of any suitable material, preferably leather that are substantially the same size and shape and are superimposed, one upon the other. Between the facings I0 and II is positioned a strip of spring steel material I2, which is narrower than, and extends substantially from end to end of the facing elements ID and II. The
(Cl. 22M-4) wrist band is provided with an edging, commonly known as piping, which consists of a textile attachment and supporting, strip of `material I3 having an edging E formed along or attached to one edge of the textile supporting strip I3. As shown in the drawings the edging E consists of a flexible plastic bead having diagonally or spirally positioned and alternate, contrasting, colored portions I4 and I5. The textile supporting portion I3 of the piping is positioned between the outer edge portions of, and extending entirely around and between the facing elements It and II with the-edging portion E closely and tightlyl abutting the-edges-of the facing elements I!) and I I. The.several above mentioned elements being assembled as described, a row of stitching I6 is placed along the edges of the facing elements It and II, whereby the edges of the facing elements II) and II and the textile strip I3 are all tightly fastened together with the edging E abutting the edges of the facings I0 and I I. Because of they diagonal positioning of the alternating colored spaces Id and I5, the edges of the facings IIl and II appear to be laced together and thereby gives the band the appearance of being a much more expensive article than it really is.
Vis obvious that the edging E might be made in the form of beads or other shapes of ornamentation that will add to or give the wrist band a large variety of ornamental characterizations.
In Fig. 6 the wrist band is shown as not having the spring steel element I2 contained therein and the band is therefore pliable and has no spring action as above described, therefore one end of the band is provided with a buckle and a looped keeper I3 to receive the other end of the wrist band which is provided with a series of holes I9 to receive the tongue 2U of the buckle Il for buckle fastening in the usual manner as will readily be understood. The ends of the band having been buckled together as above described, the remaining free end of the band may be 'slipped through the looped keeper I8 in the usual manner.
As above mentioned, this band is designed ATENT oFFicE sides of thewatch 2'!V and the freev ends" of the loop elements 2| and 22'; then reinsertedltlirough their respective slit 23 or 24, whereby the watch 21 is substantially held on the wrist band.
While the wrist band, as shown, in the. drawings, and described in the foregoing speci'cation,
is probably the preferred form of thefdevice, it4
is to be understood that such modifications may be employed as lie within the scopeof'the ap pended claims without departing from the: spirit and intention of the invention.
Now having fully shownV and described my in.- vention, what I claim is:
l. In a wrist band of the kind' described; said wrist band comprising, combination, a.. pair of facing elementasaid facing elements varying in width at selected points between the ends thereof and being substantially the same shape and-.size and superimposed, one over the other;
apiping, said piping having a carrying element of uniform width for said piping, said carrying element being. less than one half the widthof said facings at their narrowest width and being positioned between and extending around the sides and ends of said facingelementswith the saidV piping extendingl along and beyondthe edges of the said facing elementsV to expose an edge 4 thereof, said exposed piping edge having alterAll nately light and dark colored portions to give the appearance of the edges of the facings being laced together and means for holding the band in a looped formation as a means of retaining the band on the wrist of the wearer of the band.
2. In a wrist band of the kind described; the combination dened in claim 1, said combination being'further characterized by one;.of said facing elementshaving loop means thereonthatare attachable to an article for holding said article on the; band.
3. In a wrist band of the kind described; the combination defined in'claim l, said combination being; further. characterized by the said means for holding the band in a looped formation being arcurvedspring element interposed between the two said facing elements.
