SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 273,744, dated March 13, 1883.

Application filed January .3, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SIGMUND L. LEDERER, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Ornamental Chains; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification. I

This invention has reference to an improvement in the construction of ornamental chainlinks; and it consists in the peculiar and novel manner in which two blanks are secured together to form the link, as will be more fully set forth hereinafter.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of part of an ornamental chain consisting of two links made after my invention, secured together by a connecting-ring. Fig. 2 is a side view of a link. Fig. 3 is an end view of the same. Fig. 4 is one of the blanks forming my improved link. The broken lines show how the slotted end of the blank is sprung when two blanks are secured together. Fig. 5 is a view of one blank, showing the parts of the other blank on a line with the face of the blank in section.

In the drawings, a a are two blanks of any desired form or outline, secured together at right angle to each other, so that the section represents the form of a cross, as is shown in Fig. 3. Each one of the blanks a is provided with the central slot, 1), extending from the longitudinal center of the blank to near one end of the same, where the slot is closed by the two projections c 0.

cl is a loop or ring formed at one end of the blank, and e a notch into which the two projections c c of the other blank enter. The

namented between dies or otherwise.

may be colored, gilded, polished, and finished before they are put together. When put together the blanks are spread sufficiently to en ter one blank between the projections c c of the other, and. when entered the projections will either spring into the notches e or they may be pressed into the same. \Vhen thus secured they form a strong and durable chainlink, requiring no solder to secure the parts together, and therefore the finish and polish are not injured by heat.

f is a connecting-link by which the chain links are secured together to form an ornamental chain. Various forms of connectinglinks may be used to connect these links and produce different styles. A large variety of chain-links may be produced by varying the form and design of the blanks.

Having thus described myinvention, 1 claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. An ornamental chain-link made of two flat blanks, each provided with the slot 1), the projections c c, and the notch c, secured together as described.

2. An ornamental chain consisting of links having flat blanks, secured together by interlocking the blanks, substantially as described, each blank being provided with the eye (I, the whole formed into a chain by connecting the links, as described.

3. An ornamental chain-link made of two flat blanks, each provided with a slot constructed to interlock the blanks to form the link, as described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
