MARY ELISABETH ROYCE, OF TOLEDO, OHIO.
TENS-ION DEVIICEIFOR FINGER-BANDS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 370,893, dated October 4, 1887.
Application filed June 23, 1857. Serial No. 242,227. (No model.)
- exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it apw pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form part of this specification.
My invention relates to a tension device for.
fingerbands-such as rings, thimbles, 8m.- and has for its object to provide an attachment to the same that shall admit of the thread, yarn, or like material used in crocheting, knitting, 850., being put under the proper tension to insure the desired character of work being performed, and also to obviate the necessity of winding the material around the finger, thereby not only relieving the finger of that compressed and disagreeable sensation incident to a prolonged use of the same for this purpose,but also preventing discoloration of the material by absorption of perspiration and the consequent adhesion of dirt particles. I attain these objects by the devices illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a view of one form of my device shown in place upon the finger with the material being used in crocheting threaded through the tension device. Fig. 2 is an end, and Fig. 3 a longitudinal sectional, view of the same device. Figs. 4. and 6 are end, and Figs. 5 and 7 are side, views, respectively, of a band or ring provided with a hinged tension-bar. Fig. 8 is an end view, and Fig. 9 is a side View, of a thimble provided with a perforated tension-bar. Figs. 10 and 11 are end and side views, respectively, showing the tension-bar.
concentric with the band or ring. Figs. 12 to 18,inclusive,represent some of the preferred means of providing for removability and adjustment of the tension -'bar, Figs. 12,13, 14-
showing the tension-bar as cylindrical, with perforations diametrically through the same and provided with a screw-threaded stud entering an orifice in the ring correspondingly screw-threaded. Figs. 17 and18show a similar attachment of the parts, the bar being formed flat. Figs. 15, 16, and 17 represent the ring provided with a dovetail groove, into which the tension bar provided with a flaring tenon is inserted.
Like letters of reference indicate like parts through the several views.
A represents a finger-band, it being immaterial whether it be a ring, thimble, or analogous device.
B is a tension-bar, either formed integral with the finger-band or hinged thereto, as shown in Figs. 1 to 11, inclusive, or separately, as shown in Figs. 12 to 18, inclusive.
The tension-bar may be perforated for the purpose of threading the material D through the perforations, or formed solid, as shown in Fig. 5, and the material D wound around the bar, either form of construction admitting of adjusting the tension as desired.
In the construction shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 8 to 11, inclusive, it is necessary to remove the band or ring when it is desired to lay the work aside.
In the form shown in Figs. 4 and 5 the tension-bar B is unsnapped from the book 0 and the thread D removed. In the forms shown in Figs. 12, 13, 17, and 18 the bar B is unscrewed from the ring and the part B laid aside with the, material.
In the form shown in Figs. 15 and 16 the bar B, having the flaring tenon, is removed from the dovetail groove and laid aside with the material. These last-described constructions are very convenient when it is desired to fit the tension-bar as a supplemental attachment to an ordinary finger-ring or thimble.
Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,
1. A finger-band provided with an inclos- 'ing tension device, in which is held a portion of the material used in crocheting, knitting, and like work, substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. A finger-band provided with a tension device having perforations, as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I hereby affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
