BRACELET.
EEIPECIFIGA'IION forming part of Letters Patent No. 395,148, dated December 25, 1888.
Application filed $eptcmber 5, 1888. Serial No. 284,642. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALICE JOHNSTONE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Avondale, Essex county, State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bracelets, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification.
My invention relates to a combined bracelet and button-hook, and has for its object to provide an article of manufacture combining the advantages and utility of both a buttonhook and bracelet; and my invention consists in a combined bracelet and button-hook constructed substantially as hereinafter described.
Referring; to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view showing one embodiment of my invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional view thereof. Fig. 3 is a side view of the same. Fig. at is a perspective view showing the bracelet unclasped and the hook extended for use. Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing a modified form of hook, and Fig. 6 is a sectional detail.
Prior to my present invention it has been proposed to attach a button-hook to a bracelet, and this has been doneby making thebut ton-hook entirely separate from and independent of the bracelet and securing them together by means of the ornamental portion of the bracelet. It has also been proposed to make a combined bracelet and button-hook, in which the button-hook forms a material part of the bracelet.
The object of my present invention is to provide a combined bracelet and button-hook in such a manner that the buttonhook will not interfere with the use of the bracelet for.
its usual ornamental purposes and will not detract from its appearance, but which shall be so arranged as to be easily adjusted for convenient use, when desired, and folded out of the way when not in use, and, further, to provide a button-hook that may be readily applied to bracelets already mad e without materially changing their structure.
To these ends my invention consists in a button-hook formed substantially as shown, and adapted to be secured to an ordinary bracelet in such a manner that it may be folded within the bracelet or extended beyond the same.
In the drawings, A represents a bracelet, which may be of any usual or desired form, and, as shown, is made of two parts hinged together at a, the other ends being secured by a suitable clasp, b. The button-l1ook O in this instance is shown as made of wire or other similar material in the form of a loop, the adjacent ends of which are bent, as shown at c, and are adapted to fit into holes or sockets formed in the body of the bracelet and to be held therein by spring-pressure or otherwise secured, so that they form a pivot for the hook. The loop is curved to conform substantially to the outline of the bracelet, so that when it is folded, as shown in Fig. 1, it will not interfere with the comfort or pleasure of the wearer of the bracelet. 7
hen it is desired to use the hook, the bracelet is unclasped and the hook extended, substantially as shown in 4, in which position the bracelet forms a convenient handle for the hook and interferes in no way with its operation.
In Fig. 5 the hook is shown of another form, and consists of a wire bent at one end to form the hook proper, the other end being bent and secured in an opening in the body of the bracelet. In this particular instance the end of the wire is bifurcated, as shown in Fig. 6, and tends to spring outwardlyto form a safe and sufficient joint to hold the parts together, and at the same time permit of ready adjustment thereof.
From the above description it will be seen that my invention is not limited to the precise form and arrangement shown, but that it may be varied considerably without departing from the spirit thereof.
Among the advantages of this arrangement it may be stated that not only may this hook be applied to articles already made with very little trouble and expense, but when once applied they form a combined article, so that the parts are not liable to be separated or lost and can be used with facility and expedition for the purposes desired, and at the same time without departing from the ornamental effects of the one or the utility of the other.
WVhatI claim is 1. A combined bracelet and button-hook, the hook being secured to the bracelet and adapted to be folded within the same, substantially as described.
2. The combination, with a bracelet, of a hook adapted to be pivotally securedthereto and to fold within the bracelet, substantially as described.
3. The c01nbination,with a bracelet having an orifice in its side, of abutton-hook consisting of a curved loop the ends of which are bent to fit the hole in the bracelet, whereby the hook may be swung outward for use and inward when not in use, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
ALICE JOIINSTONE.
