CRUCIFIX FOR ROSARIEIS, NECK CHAINS, OR THE LIKE RANDALL Filed April 29, 1950 IN VEN TOR.
w w/m AT TORNE YS HOI'OC e izo nda/l Patented Sept. 1, 1 953 CRUCIFIX FOR ROSARIES, NECK CHAINS, OR THE LIKE Horace Randall, Pawtucket, R. I., assignor to The H. M. H. 00., a corporation of South Dakota Application April 29, 1950, Serial No. 159,006
2 Claims.
This invention relates to a crucifix for use on a rosary or neck chain.
Crucifixes which are used for personal wear and worn on a rosary or neck chain usually consist of a cross with a corpus secured thereto, all of which is metal and often is formed of the more precious metals with no halo present.
One of the objects of this invention is to provide a halo for the corpus.
Another object of this invention is to provide a halo which may be easily assembled with the crucifix.
Another object of this invention is to provide a halo which may be formed of a difierent color to contrast with the remainder of the crucifix, or of the same color if desired.
Another object of this invention is to provide a halo which may be of a separate part and assembled with a crucifix which is already formed without materially changing the crucifix.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, as will be more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a front elevation of the crucifix with the halo in place;
Figure 2 is a side view thereof;
Figure 3 is a perspective view looking at the back side of the corpus;
Figure 4 is an elevation of the cross;
Figure 5 is a perspective view of the halo;
Figure 6 is an exploded view of the corpus, halo, and cross in separate position but in their relative positions for attachment together;
Figure 7 is a section on line 1-1 of Figure 2 with the corpus omitted; and
Figure 8 is a sectional view on line 8-8 of Figure 2.
In proceeding with this invention, I out from a separate piece of material an elongated body member with an opening at its lower end for assembly on the pin which secures the lower part of the corpus to the cross, and provide at the upper end an arcuate portion to serve as a halo back of the head of the corpus. Rearwardly extending lugs are formed to extend along the opposite edges of the cross so as to prevent this member from movement when assembled on the cross. Thus, the halo member is'assembed by positioning it upon the lower pin of the corpus and then placing both the corpus and halo on the cross and riveting the corpus in place in a usual manner.
With reference to the drawings, I0 designates 2 a cross having laterally extending limbs II, II' and a vertically extending lower limb I2. At theupper end of this cross there is an opening I3 for supporting it on a chain. A hole I4 is provided in the lower limb I2 and holes I5 are providedv in the lateral limbs II of this cross.
The corpus is designated generally I6, shown, by itself in Figure 3, and comprises the sculpturing of a representation of Christ having a body II and outstretched arms I8, I8. At the lowerend of the body there are the feet III. The outstretched arms I8, I8 are of a size to have the hands cover the openings I5 in the limbs II of the cross, while the body is of such extent that the feet I9 cover the opening I4 in the lowerlimb I2 of the cross. Pins 20 are fastened to: the arms and extend through openings I5 to secure the arms of the corpus to the cross, while pin 2| is fastened to the feet I9 and extends through opening I4 in the lower limb I2 of the cross to secure this portion of the corpus to the cross.
The halo member which has not heretofore been provided in ornaments of this character is designated generally 22 and comprises an elongated body portion 23 with an opening 24 at its lower end and a circular halo 25 at its upper end which is pierced as at 26 so as to form a cross 21 within a circular margin. Lugs 28 extend rearwardly from either side of the longitudinal member 23 about midway of its length.
In assembly, the halo member 22 is positioned so that the pin 2| will extend through the opening 24 while the circular part 25 is located in back of the head}. The corpus and halo thus assembled are positioned so that the pins 2| extend through the opening I4 and the pins 20 extend through the openings I5. These pins are then riveted over as indicated at 3| in Figure 8, while the lugs 28 extend along either side and closely fit the limb I2 of the cross (see Figure 7). This provides for a simple assembly of the parts with but little more to do for the provision of a halo than is necessary for the assembly of the parts without the halo.
The halo 22 being formed of a separate piece of metal may be made from any color metal either in a contrasting finish or a similar finish which should enhance the crucifix in appearance.
I claim:
1. An ornament comprising a cross, a corpus with out-stretched arms, pins one of which extends from the lower part of the corpus through the cross securing the corpus to the cross and a member between the two through which the pin through the lower part of the corpus passes said member extending lengthwise of the corpus upwardly to a point above the head of the corpus with a curved upper end located back of the head of the corpus to serve as a halo, and lugs on the member at a point above the said pin extending rearwardly on eitherside of the-cross to prevent swinging of the member about the-pin.
2. An ornament as in claim 1 wherein the pins 10 pass through the arms and feet of the corpus and the member is mounted on the pin fastened to the feet.
HORACE RANDALL.
