  • the end attachme'nt includes a self-contained component which includes a generally tubular member, coiled compression spring means and a pair of generally tubular inserts which are slideable within the generally tubular memberl
  • One of the inserts has its inner end positioned against one outer end of said spring means, the other insert has its inner end positioned against another outer end of said spring means and stop means on the generally tubular member act upon the inserts to limit their outward sliding movements under the action of the spring means.
  • the attachment also includes an ornamental top shell having a generally tubular portion attached about the generally tubular portion of the self-contained component and a member extending laterally therefrom with means for attaching the top shell to the end of a watch band.
  • the top shell may be deeply impressed with the design of the links of the watch band to which the end attachment is to be attached without interfering with the sliding movements of the inserts within the generally tubular member of the self-contained component.
  • Wrist watch bands are often sold separate from the watches to which they are to be attached.
  • styles in watch bands change more rap idly than styles in watches and watch cases and, during the life of the watch. wearers therefore frequently use several different watch bands.
  • Another reason is that the preference of the user for watch bands of different types such as plastic, metal. snake chain. buckle secured.
  • One object of this invention is to provide an end attachment for a watch band adapted to be mounted between lugs of wrist watch cases which are spaced different distances apart and which is economical to manufacture and assemble.
  • Another object is to provide such an end attachment in which an element of the end attachment can be provided with deeply impressed designs to match the designs of the links of the watch band without interfering with free slideability of the width adjusting elements.
  • a further object is to provide a self-contained component for making an end attachment for a watch band which comprises a generally tubular member. coiled compression springs and generally tubular inserts which can be assembled automatically.

  • While the end attachment is adapted to be used with any conventional watch band. it is shown attached to an expansion watch band of the type shown in US. Pat. No. 3,307,348 to Vanover although the watch band shown in the present application uses only one spring in each link.
  • a watch band comprises a row of top links 15 (FIGS. 2 and 3) and a row of bottom links 16, each link extending in a direction generally transverse to the length of the linkage.
  • the watch band is completed by securing ornamental top shells 19 to the top links.
  • the end attachment 14 of this invention comprises a self-contained component 20 (FIG. 6) which comprises a generally tubular member 21 formed from a strip of metal which is bent into tubular form to provide a longitudinal slit 23 between adjacent ends of the strip.
  • a pair of tabs 24, are formed from the strip of metal. one adjacent to one end of the strip and the other adjacent to the other end. the ends of these tabs being bendable towards the interior of the tubular member 2]. It will be observed that the tab 24 extends in one direction near one end of the strip of metal and that. tab 25 extends in the opposite direction adjacent to the other end of the strip.
  • the generally tubular member is symmetrical and automatic assembly ofthe self-contained component is facilitated. However. the component can be less easily assembled automatically if these tabs extend in the same direction and in use it functions as well as the preferred embodiment.
  • cutout portions 27 are pro vided substantially intermediate the ends of the generally tubular member 2] and a tab 28 extends inwardly from the side of one of these cutout portions thereby dividing it into a pair of cutout portions 27A and 278, the function of which will be described below.
  • the selfcontained component 20 also includes a pair of coiled compression springs 30 which slide loosely within the generally tubular member 21 and the inner ends of which engage the tab 28 which is bent inwardly of the tubular memher 21 and forms stop means substantially midway between its ends.
  • the invention contemplates use of a single coiled compression spring without stop means.
  • a single coiled compression spring may be used together with a tab such as the tab 28, the end of which is bent inwardly between a pair of coils of the spring to act as stop means to prevent longitudinal movement of the spring with respect to the generally tubular member 21.
  • the self-contained component 20 also includes a pair of generally tubular inserts 32 adapted to slide within the generally tubular member 21.

  • FIG. 5 the parts of the preferred selfcontained component are shown in positions ready to be assembled. They can be assembled by an automatic machine which simultaneously inserts the springs 30 at opposite ends of the tubular member 21 until their ends abut the stop means 28, simultaneously inserts the inserts 32 at opposite ends of the generally tubular member 21 and moves them inwardly to compress the springs 30 until the inner ends of the rectangular slots 33 pass beyond the tabs 24 and 25 of the generally tubular member 21 and then the ends of these tabs are bent into the longitudinal slots 33.

  • the flanges 47 are provided with a pair of inwardly bent tabs 49 which engage the bottom wall of the end top link 15 of the watch band thereby cooperating with the flange 46 to secure the top shell 40 to the end link 15 of the watch band.
  • the generally tubular member 21 and the inserts 32 of the self-contained component may be made of stainless steel or other suitable metal.
  • the top shell 40 may be made of gold-filled material or stainless steel or other suitable material.
  • top shell 40 is impressed with the design of the top links of the watch band so that the design of the watch band is continuous from end to end thereof including the end connector. Because the inner surface of the generally tubular portion 41 of the top shell 40 is in contact with the outer surface of the generally tubular member 21 of the selfcontained component a deeply impressed design which carries through the metal of the top shell may be impressed on the top shell without interfering with the free sliding movement of the inserts 32 which are only in contact with the inner surface of the generally tubular member 21.

  • the springs 30 urge the inserts outwardly so they abut the inner sides of the lugs and the end attachment is secured in place as shown in FIG. 1. They also centralize the end attachment between the lugs 12 of the watch. When a single coiled spring is used instead of two springs and the tab 28 is bent inwardly between two coils of the spring, the end attachment is also centralized between the lugs of the watch by the tab and spring.
