FASTENING FOR WATCH-BOWS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 399,861, dated March 19, 1889. Application filed August 15, 1888- Serial No. 282,790. (No model.)

To aZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK GEORGE FAXON, of Mount Morris, in the county of Livingston and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in IVatch Bows and Pendants, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a front elevation of my improved watch how and pendant. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail side elevation of the bow. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the nut for holding the parts of the pendant together; and Figs. 5 and 6 represent in section, respectively, the upper and lower parts of the pendant.

The object of my invent-ion is to provide a pendant and bowfor watches in which thebearing of the bow and pendant will be adjustable, and in which the bow will be held in such a manner as to render it impossible to accidentally detach it from the pendant.

My invention consists in the combination, with a pendant formed of two parts and provided with spheroidal or spherical cavities, of a bow provided with spherical or spheroidal ends, the parts of the pendant being adjustable to take up wear, all as hereinafter more fully described.

The pendant is formed of the parts A B, the part A being provided with a sleeve, g, over which the part B is fitted, the divisionline of the partsA and B being on a plane at right angles to the axis of the pendant. In the adjacent surfaces of the parts A andB at diametrically-opposite sides of the axial line of the pendant are formed spheroidal cavities f, in which are fitted the spheroidal ends 0 of the bow C, said spheroidal ends being separated from the bow by necks c of smaller diameter than the bow. The part A of the pendant is provided with a rinnj, to which the periphery of the part I is fitted, so that 1 I the space between the said parts A B will be invisible.

The part B is counterbored in its upper surface to receive the nut D, which screws upon the threaded end of the sleeve g. The pendant is provided with the usual winding-stem, H, which passes through the sleeve 9 and through the part A. Vhen the bow 0 becomes loosened, it may readily be tightened, after removing the winding-stem H, by turning down the nut D.

It is obvious that in lieu of the spheroidal ends I may employ spherical or even cylindrical ends, and therefore I do not confine myself to the exact form and arrangement hereinbefore described.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination, with a watch-bow, of a divided pendant, between whose members the ends of the bow are clamped and which are relatively adjustable to bring them into closer relation, substantially as described.

2. The combination of the bow having headed ends, and the horizontally-divided pendant whose members are relatively adjustable to bring them in closer relation for taking up wear, substantially as described.

3. The combination of the part A, provided with the sleeve 9 and cavities f, the part B, fitted to the sleeve 9 and provided with the cavities f, the nut D, screwed on the end of the sleeve g, and the bow 0, provided with the spheroidal ends 0, substantially as described.

4. The combination of the part A,provided with the sleeve g and cavitiesf, and the rim 7', the part B, fitted to the sleeve 9 and provided with the cavities f, the nut D, screwed on the end of the sleeve 9, and the bow C, provided with the spheroidal ends 0, substantially as described.

FRANK GEORGE FAXON.
