ALEXANDER \V. ROTHSOHILD, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

DETACHABLE HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 559,310, dated April 28, 1896. Application filed February 19,1896. Serial No. 579,933. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that'I, ALEXANDER W. ROTHS- CHILD, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Detachable I-Iolders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to detachable hold ers to be connected to the pin of an ordinary brooch, upon which can be suspendeda chatelaine, watch, eyeglass, badge, memorandumtablet, or any personal article desired to be displayed.

My invention is hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the drawings, and specifically pointed out in the claim.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, wherein like letters of reference point out similar parts on each view, Figure 1 is a rear View of a brooch provided with a suspending device constructed according to my invention. Fig. 2 is a rear view of the brooch with suspending device removed therefrom, also view of the suspending device removed from the brooch and detail view of the wire representing process of bending it into finished form according to my invention. Fig. 3 is a front View of the brooch, the lower portion broken away, showing downwardly-extending hook upon which an eyeglass is suspended. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of the upper ends of the suspending device.

In the drawings, A represents a brooch having fastening-pin a of ordinary construction adapted to be transversely passed through fabric of a garment and interlocked in catchhook a.

Bis the detachable suspending device composed of a continuous length of wire turned and overturned, as fully illustrated in the drawings. At median point of length of the wire it is overturned, as shown at b, Fig. 2, and the two lengths after being crossed over each other are continued upwardly. in opposite oblique lines b 19 the terminal of b being finished with curled eye 6 the opposite wire line 17 being turned upon itself to form curled eye I), and from'thence continued to compose spring-bow 11 The parallel wires where bent at their median point, as represent-ed at b, Fig. 2, are then unitedly turned upwardly to compose suspending loop 13.

When it is desired to connect the device to an ordinary brooch, its fastening-pin a is passed through the eyes 17 b the spring-bow b composing a perfect lock for retaining the pin or within its catch-hook a. In order to remove the brooch, the spring-bow b has to be pressed rearwardly toward hinge of the fastening-pin a, allowing its point to be withdrawn from the catch-hook a, of the brooch, which will permit the suspending device to be withdrawn from the brooch if desired, or it can be allowed to remain threaded on. the brooch-fastening pin.

It will be understood from the foregoing description, in connection with the drawings, that the suspending device constructed according to my invention can be removably connected to the pin of a brooch of any des cription, and that such pin when fastened will be held in position by spring-bow b Having thus fully described my invention and the manner of its operation, whatI claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States of America, is-

A j ewelry-suspendin g device of the character described, made of a continuous length of wire bent at median point of its length and from thence upturned to compose lower loophook the wire being continued and crossed above the loop-hook and from thence extended in opposite oblique lines the terminal at one side being finished with open eye-ring and at the opposite side with similar eyering under which the Wire is continuously against the catch-hook of fastening-pin of a brooch and hold the device and the brooch securely locked, substantially as described.

In witness whereof I hereunto set my hand, in the presence of two witnesses, in the city of New York, State of New York, this 14th day of February, 1896.
