WATGHUASE PENDANT.
No. 553,760. Y Patented Jan. 28, 1896.
customary to form the oval portion upon UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
FRANK MOORFIELD, OF NEWPORT, KENTUCKY.
WATCHCASE-PENDANT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 553,760, dated January 28, 1896.
Application filed August 16, 1895.
T0 (tZZ whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, FRANK MOOREIELD, of Newport, in the county of Campbell, and in the State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in \Vatchcase- Pendants; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a watch case-pendant as heretofore constructed by me from one piece of metal. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section of the same. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the tubular blank from which my new pendant is made. Fig. 4 is a like View of said blank after it has been operated upon by the forming-dies. Fig. 5 is a perspective View of the same after having been bored out to receive the tubular section and the crown. Fig. 6 is a like view of such tubular section ready for attachment to the crown. Fig. 7 is a like view of said parts after having been united to form a complete pendant, and Fig. 8 is a central longitudinal section of the same.
Letters of like name and kind refer to like parts in the several figures.
My invention has for its object an improvement in watchcase-pendants; and it consists in the method of constructing the pendant and in the article as constructed, substantially as and for the purpose hereinafter specified.
In the manufacture of the style of casependants known as antique it has been which the bow was to be pivoted from a round blank of sheet metal bent by dies into shape, bored out, pressed and soldered to the portion of the pendant which receives and contains the pendant set material and the stem-arbor and extends into and constitutes a foot for connecting such pendant with a case-center. This method of construction ex poses the solder and causes the pendant to present an inferior appearance and renders the parts liable to be separated by usage.
Another method of constructing antique pendants is shown in my application for a patent filed April 2, 1894, Serial No. 506,036, in which the tubular and oval portions are, by means of dies, constructed from one piece of Serial No. 559,540. (No model.)
used by me, and by means of dies give to it the form seen in Fig. 4, in which are combined the oval portion A and the cylindrical part or foot a, which is to enter into and be secured within the case-center. The article thus formed now has the upper portion of its oval portion cut away to enable it to receive the lower portion of a crown, and the interior of its cylindrical portion bored out to adapt it to receive and contain one end of a plain cylindrical tube or body a, Fig. 6. Said tube is threaded interiorly to adapt it to receive pendant set material, is given the required length and is then soldered in place, the result being the completed pendant shown in Figs. 7 and 8.
NVithin each end of the oval portion A is instead of the usual opening a semi-spherical recess a which is produced by the formingdies and conforms to and is adapted to receive the correspondingly-shaped end I) of a casebow B and to furnish for the same a perfect bearing without necessity for the construction upon the bow end of pivots with collars or enlargements at their rear ends. This construction prevents the fine outer surface of such bow ends and that of the adjacent engaging portions of the pendant from being worn away so as to expose the base metal beneath.
When the pendant thuswconstructed is attached to a case-center no portion of the base metal is exposed and no solder is in sight, so that it has the appearance of having been made of or from a solid piece of metal and possesses strength equal to that of the solid pendant and materially greater than any other form made.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is- 1. A watchcase-pendant consisting of two parts, that are formed separately, one of which has an integral enlargement provided with an opening, within which is fitted and secured one end of the other part, the joint being thus within and concealed by them- 10 being thus within and coneeziIed by the en- Iarged, ho\\'-engaging portion, subrainniiuiiy ELS and for the purpose shown.
In testimony that 1 (21211111 the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 7th day o1. August, 1805.
'FRAN Ii MO OR I I ELI).
