PETER NERNEY, OF ATTLEBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS.
SWIVEL FOR WATCH-CHAINS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 295,577, dated March 25, 1884.
Application filed February 1, 1884. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that 1, PETER NERNEY, of Attleborough, in the county of Bristoland State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Swivels for Watch- Chains; and I do hereby declare the following specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming a part of the same, to be a description thereof.
This invention relates to a swivel for watchchains; and it consists in certain features of construction, as hereinafter ,set forth.
Referring to the drawings, Figure l represents a front view of the swivel with the bow thereof closed, as when connected to a watchring. Fig. 2 shows the same with the bow open to allow a watch-ring to be connected. Fig. 3 represents a central vertical section of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 shows in perspective the stem member with .a portion of the bow secured thereto. Fig. 5 represents in perspective the neck member with the remaining portion of the bow secured to its head. Fig. 6 shows in perspective the swivel-sleeve with its attached ring.
A is the bow member, which is in two parts, a a. The part a is secured to the upper end of the stem B, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4:, and the part a is rigidly attached to the head of the neck member 0, as shown in Figs. 3 and 5. The neck member 0 is'hollow, and has its head provided with a perforation, c, to receive thefoot a of the bow portion a when the bow is closed.
D is a bridge-piece, which stretches across the interior of theneck member 0, and is secured to the walls thereof. The bridge-piece D is centrally perforated to form a bearing for the stem B and hold it at all times in axial shank.
alignment with the neck member.
E is the swivel-sleeve, which fits on the lower end of the stem B, and is furnished with an attached ring, 6, to receive the watch-chain. The swivel-sleeve E is retained upon the stem B by a headed pin, F, which enters the lower end of thest'em, and is secured thereto by solder. Preferably the stem B is made of hollow wire, to furnish a cavity into which the shank of the pin F can be inserted, as shown in Fig. 3; but the stem may be solid and have a hole drilled into its lower end to receive the pin- G is-a spiral spring, which surrounds the stem B, and bears at its lower end upon the sleeve E and at its upper end upon the bridgepiece D, thereby pressing the neck member 0 and locking the bow in a closed position. The neck member 0 is mounted on the stem B, so as to be capable of longitudinal and rotary movements.
When it is desired to open the bow to ad mit or to release the watchring, the neck member 0 is depressed on the stem by the fingers until the foot a of the bow portion a passes out of the perforation c in the head of the neck member. The neck member is then partially rotated to carry the 'bow portion a.
. to one side, as shown in Fig. 2, when the watch-ring may be inserted or withdrawn. The bow is closed by turning the neck so as to bring the bow portion a under the portion a, and then releasing the neck, when the spring G will raise the neck and its loow member a and cause the foot a of the bow portion a to pass into the perforation c in the head of the neck, and thereby lock the bow in a closed position.
Although I prefer to make the stem B of hollow wire, and to employ the headed pin F to hold the sleeve E upon the stem, yet a oilmay be soldered to the lower end of the stem may project beyond the sleeve and be headed over thereon to retain the sleeve on the stem, as will be readily understood.
I do notclaim, broadly, a swivel having a bow member capable of being turned, and having a neck member mounted so as to be movable on the stem, and actuated by a spring to lock the bow member ina closed position.
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
As an improved article of manufacture, a swivel composedof a stem B, having a bow portion, a, rigidly secured thereto, a neck member, 0, having the remaining bow portion rigidly secured to its head, and said head provided with a perforation, c, to receive the foot of the bow portion a, the bridge-piece D, secured to and within the neck member 0, the swivel-sleeve F, having a ring attached thereto and secured upon the stem, as described, and the spiral spring G, mounted on the stem and, bearing against bridge-piece D and the sleeve F, substantially as set forth.
