Leslie W. Cheney, North Attleboro, Mass, assignor to Swanlelnc a corporation of Delaware Application April 7, 1950, Serial No. 154,663
2 Claims.
This invention relates to a jewelry article.
Initials or other ornamental members for jewelry are usually mounted from their edges with some sort of support from the opposite edges of the member.
One of the objects of this invention is to provide a mounting for an initial or other ornamenr tal member from one edge only thereof.
Another object of the invention is to provide a mounting for an initial or ornament so that the same will stand up from. its mounting base and contrast with the surface upon which the mounting is secured.
Another object of the invention is to provide a tongue which may be inserted in a slot in the mounting member, with means to hold the tongue in such inserted position.
Another object of the invention is to provide a construction by which the initials of the person purchasing the article may be assembled on the article at the time of purchase.
Another object of the invention is to conceal the securing means for the ornamental member which is secured to the mounting member.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction as will be more fully described and pointed out in the appended claims.
Figure 1 is a face view illustrating a tie clip,
as provided with the ornamental members which are the subject of this invention.
Figure 2 is an elevation of the tie clip as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the clip with the ornamental members or initials omitted.
Figure 4 is a perspective View of one of the ornamental members or initials which is assembled with the structure of Figure 3.
Figure 5 is a perspective View looking at the rear or opposite side of the member of Figure 4.
Figure 6 is a perspective view of the partially formed clip of Figure 3.
Figure 7 is a perspective view of a spring member which is assembled with the clip of Figure 6.
Figure 8 is a sectional view through a part of the clip on substantially line S-8 of Figure 6.
Figure 9 is a sectional view showing the stock illustrated in Figure 8, as bent at right angles to the bar that is illustrated in Figure 8.
Figure 10 is a sectional view showing further bending of the stock of Figures 8 and 9.
Figure 11 is a sectional view, similar to Figure 10, but showing the resilient strip of Figure 7 inserted within the hollow chamber formed in Figure 10.
Figure 12 is a sectional view, showing an initial,.'of Figures 4 and 5 as inserted into the" mounting member of Figure 11.
Figure 13 is a sectional View on line l3l'3 of Figure '12.
In proceeding with this invention, I provide a bar-like mounting member with a hollow chamber, with slots l ading into the hollow chamber along the edge of a bar-like strip ofv stock, and I provide initials each with a tongue to extend into a slot with some sort of means within the hollow chamber to lock the tongue thereon. This locking may be by means of a latch on one of the parts, and a catch on the other to' hold the tongue in position. A shoulder is provided adjacent the tongue to rest upon the edge of the bar about the slot opening, and the engagement of the tongue is such as to hold this shoulder in engagement with the bar. Additional means may also be provided to prevent locking of the ornamental members in the mounting.
With reference to the drawings, a strip of stock designated generally I3, is struck to provide a heavy front portion H which may be indented for ornamental purposes, as at l2, while a thinner leaf l3 may be formed extending upwardly from the thicker portion I i. This leaf I3 is then bent rearwardly, as shown in Figure 9 at 15. By further bending, as at is and ll, there is provided a chamber l8, between the back portion [9 of this leaf and the opposite surface of the heavy bar H, while a flange 20 extends from this rear portion forwardly to the bar to close the cham-' ber l8. Slots M to provide entrance to the cham- V ber are provided in the bent wall 13 leaving a lip extending from the back wall I 9 toward the front wall H of the chamber. The portion of the front bar 2! which extends beyond the end of portion II, is bent rearwardly upon itself to provide a jaw 22 (Figures 2 and 3), which is deflected as at 23 to provide a mouth portion 24 for sliding onto the shirt. A spring strip 25 may be formed to provide a pressure point at a second location on this jaw.
A resilient strip of material, designated 25, and shown in perspective, Figure '7, is inserted into the chamber 18, and comprises a portion 2! to engage the back wall 19 and lie flat thereagainst while a leg portion 28 extends along the flange 28 and is in close proximity to the rear surface 29 of the solid bar II. A latch portion 30 is bent at an angle to the middle portion 21, and is severed along its length, as at 3|, so as to provide individual latches 32 to engage each of the tongues of the ornamental members which are inserted through the slots.
The ornamental members are designated generally 35, and comprise initials or other subjects 35 of a generally thick dimension, from which there extends a, tongue 31 of a. much thinner dimension, and thus provides a shoulder 38 between this thicker portion and the tongue 31. This tongue is slotted, as at 39, in a length somewhat longer than the length of the latch 32 so as to provide a catch for this latch.
In use the ornamental member 35 will have its reduced dimension or tongue 3'! inserted through the slot 16 into the chamber 18, and there the latch 32 will engage the edge of the slot 39, as shown in Figure 12, and lock the ornamental member in position, with its shoulder 39 snugly against the thicker portion ll of the front bar. At the same time, the intermediate latches will engage the opposite edges at the ends of the slot 39 so as to force the ornamental member snugly against the rear surface 29 of the front bar, thus mounting the ornamental member in place above its bars in which mounting it will stand out in relief against any surface such as a necktie upon which the clip is attached.
I claim:
1. In combination a mounting member providing a hollow chamber having a bottom wall and opposite back and front walls with a lip extending from the back wall toward the opposite front wall but spaced therefrom leaving an entrance slot into the chamber, an ornamental member having a tongue extending through said slot into said chamber and having an opening with a bordering edge in the tongue, a resilient latch memher in the chamber positioned beneath said lip,
said latch member comprising a plurality of individual latches in side by side relation, at least a portion of said latches entering the opening in said tongue and engaging the edge of the opening distant from said ornamental member thereby locking the tongue within the chamber, and at least another portion of said latches engaging said tongue adjacent said opening and forcing the tongue against the front wall.
2. The combination of claim 1 wherein the mounting member has a plurality of tandem slots with a plurality of tongues therein and the resilient latch member comprises an inverted V- shaped strip with one arm severed at intervals to provide individual flexible latches engaging each tongue.
