CHARLES M. FOGG, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
WATCH-BOW FASTEN ER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 42 5,375, dated April 8, 1890. Application filed June 22, 1889. Serial No. 815,248. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, CHARLES M. FOGG, of the city and county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented an Improvement in Bows for lVatclrCases, of which the following is a specification.
My invention has reference to bows for watch-eases; and it consists of certain improvements which are fully set forth in the following specification and shown in the accompanying drawings, which form a part thereof.
In carrying out my invention 1 provide the pendant with apertures on diametrically-opposite sides, into which I secure sockets, cups, or cars formed of tubular or cup-shaped pieces of metal, the outer or free edges of which are bent to reduce the internal diameter of the entrance to the cup or socket and project over flanges or projections on the ends of the bow or into grooves formed on such ends. These sockets or cup-shaped pieces are preferably closed upon the inner ends to prevent the passage of dust or dirt through the journalconnections between the bow and pendant. This construction enables the bow to be permanently secured to the watch-pendant in such a manner that, while it admits of the usual free movement of the bow, there' is no possibility of the bow becoming disconnected from the pendant, and thereby allow the watch to fall, as frequently happens with watches as ordinarily constructed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of a watch pendant and bow embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a similar View of same before the bow has been secured permanently to the sockets or cars. Fig. 3 is a similar View to Fig. 1 with the exception that the ears or sockets are secured to grooves in the bow in place of projecting over heads or enlargements upon the ends thereto. Fig. 4. is a sectional elevation of the pendant and ears or sockets, which are disconnected; and Fig. 5 is a sectional elevation with the upper part of the bow broken away, but otherwise similar to Fig. 1, showing the employment of sockets made cup shape or with their inner ends closed.
A is the pendant, and is formed on each side with apertures a, which receive the sock ets or ears 0, to which the bow 13 is secured.
These sockets C may be made of pieces of tube, and with their outer ends or edges flanged or bent down, as at 0, so as to fit over the flanges or enlargements D on the end of the bow B, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 5,017 to fit over enlargements and into grooves (7, formed in the ends of the said bow, as indicated in Fig. 3. These sockets may be open upon the interior or inner ends or closed, as indicated at C in Fig. 5. By this latter construction no dust or dirt is permitted to enter the interior of the pendant through the connection of the bow therewith. The sockets may be connected with the ends of the bow before being attached in the pendant, or they may be placed in the pendant first, and after the bow is put in place the ends maybe bent down over the enlargements D of said bow. These ears or socketpieces may be soldered or otherwise secured to the pendant, and, aside from being the means of securing the bow to said pendant, they ornament the said pendant.
I do not limit myself to the exact details, as they may be modified without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Having now described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combination of a watch-pendant 'formed with apertures 011 opposite sides,
socket-pieces fitting into said apertures and having their outer edges bent inward, a bow j ournaled in said socket pieces and held therein by having the outer edges of the sockets extending over heads or enlargements on the ends of the bow.
2. The combination of a watch-pendant formed with apertures on opposite sides, ears or sockets made separate, but fitting into said apertures and having their outer edges bent inward to reduce the diameter of the entrance to said sockets or cars, and a bow journaled in said sockets or cars and having enlarged heads or ends so formed as not to be removable through the contracted entrances of the ears or sockets.
The combination of a watch-peinlant formed with apertures on opposite sides, cupshapcd ears or sockets made separate, but fitting into said apertures and having their inner ends closed and their outer edges bent inward to reduce the diameter of the entrance to said sockets 01 ears, and a bow jonrnaled said socket-pieces and permanentlyconnected in said sockets or ears and having enlarged therewith. Ic heads or ends, so formed as not to be reinov- In testimony of which invention I have able through the contracted entrances of the hereunto set my hand. ears or sockets formed by the bent-in edges. CHARLES M. FOGG.
4. The combination of a pendant, two cup- Vitnesses: shaped socket-pieces secured to the sides of II. M. KAIN,
the pendant, and a movable bow joui-naled to .Tos. B. W'ILLITs.
