KEY-RING OR THE LIKE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 570,442, dated November 3, 1896.
Application fil d June 4, 1896. Serial No. 594,200. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE B. ADAMS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New 5 Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Key-Rings or the Like; and
I do hereby declare thefollowin g to be a full,
clear, and exact description of the invent-ion,
such as will enable others skilled in the art O to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification. l
I5 My present invention has reference to improvements in the construction of key-rings or other similar and useful articles, and the invention has for its primary object to pro-.
vide articles of the nature to be hereinafter '2 more fully set forth, which shall be very simple and durable in construction and in which the parts are of easy adjustment.
The invention therefore consists generally in the novel arrangement and combination of a shell or casing having a chambered portion in the back thereof with astem formed at one end with a holding portion arranged and secured in the chambered portion of said shell or casing and provided at its other end with a hook, whereby the device is applicable to the uses of a button-hook, or when said hook is sprung over the said stem of the holding portion arranged in the shell or casing, can
be used as a key-ring.
3 5 The invention consists, furthermore, in
such other novel arrangements and combinations of parts and details of construction as will be hereinafter more fully described, and finally embodied in the clauses of the 4 claim.
The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a front view of a key-ring made according to my invention, and Fig. 2 is a back view of the same. Fig. 3 is a view similar to that illustrated in said Fig. 2, but showing the hook-end of the stem detached ready for the reception of the keys thereon, and
Fig. 4 is a vertical section taken on line it in i Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a back View of a key-ring of a slightly-modified form of construction,
but still embodying the leading features of my invention. Fig. 6 is a back view of a button-hook made according to my invention, and Fig. 7 is a back view of still another 1nodi 5 5 tied form of construction of key-ring.
Similar letters of reference are employed in all of the above-described views to indicate corresponding parts. 7
In said drawings, a. indicates a metallic and ornamental button-like portion of any desir- ;able con figuration in outline and provided lWit/h an inwardly-projecting marginal rim or bead a, thereby forming in the back of said shell or casing a suitable chamber, as will be seen from an inspection of Fig. 4. Over the face of said shell or casing to may be arranged a suitable covering 1), of celluloid or other desirable material, which has its marginal edge turned down and under the bead or rim a of said shell or casing, as at b, the same being firmly secured in place by the edge cof a suitable ring or collet c, as clearly represented in Fig. 4.
Asuitable disk d, of paper or other material, may be arranged against the innersurface of the shell or casing a, said disk d being also held in place bysaid edge e of said ring or collet c, as will be clearly evident; butof course it will be understood that said disk (1, as well as the covering 2), may be dispensed with if desired.
As will be seen from the several figures of the drawings, connected with and securely arranged in the chambered part of the shell or casing a is the holding part of a Wire stem or bar 6, provided at one of its free ends with ahook e. Said stem orbar may be made from a continuous piece of wire of any desirable size and shape in cross-section, and its hold- 0 ing part is formed with the curved portions 6 and 6 Said portion a is arranged over the edge of the bead a, as shown in the several figures of the drawings, and said part c is arranged in the chambered portion of the 5 shell or casing Ct and readily secured under the marginal rim or bead a, or said part may be directly sprung under said marginal rim when said bar 6 is made from spring-wire. When the device is to be used as akey-ring, then said bar a is bent in the arc of a circle, as at e and at 6 and the hook end 6 can be readily forced over the free end 6 of the bent portion a as clearlyillustrated in Figs. 2 and 4. Then it is desired to place a key upon the curved portion 6 or to remove one therefrom, said hook-shaped end e can be easily and quickly disconnected, as clearly represented in Fig.
In lieu of the arrangement shown in said Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4, the wire cmay be formed as represented in Fig. 7, and the hook-shaped end 6 can be forced over into holding engagement with the portion 6 of said Wire.
In some cases I may dispense with the curved part c and leave the stem 6 perfectly straight, said stem 6 beingprovided at its free end with a hook a as in Fig. 6, whereby the device can be used as a button-hook.
In Fig. 5 I have illustrated a modified form of construction of key-ring, in which the chambered part in the back of the shell or casing a is closed by means of a disk or back plate f. Said plate is provided with two openings f and f respectively, the curved part c of the bar 6 being passed through said opening f and arranged behind the bead a and the back plate f, as indicated in dotted outline, while the hook end 6 of said bare is hooked into the perforation f of the said plate, as will be clearly understood from an inspection of said Fig. 5.
By my novel arrangements and combinations of the parts comprised in this invention the parts can be quickly put together at a minimum expense, producing a very neat and durable article.
The shell or casing a has this advantage, that it can be provided with a picture, monogram, advertisement, or any suitable design.
It Will be evident that changes maybe made in the different arrangements and combinations of the parts herein described and illustrated without departing from the scope of my invention. Hence I do not limit my invention to the exact arrangements of the parts as shown.
Having thus described my invention, What I claim is- 1. A shell or casing, having an inwardlyprojecting marginal rim or bead a forming a chambered part in the back thereof, in combination, with a bar 8 having one end bent to form a holding portion adapted to be secured in said chambered. part and beneath said rim or bead a of the shell or casing, and ahook, on the other end of said bar, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
2. A shell or casing, having an inwardlyprojecting marginal rim or bead a forming a chambered part in the back thereof, in combination, with a'collet or ring in said chambered part of the shell or casing, a-bar e having one end bent to form a holding portion adapted to be secured in said chambered part and beneath said rim or bead a of the shell or casing, and a hook, on the other end of said bar, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
3. A shell or casing a having a marginal rim or bead a and a chambered part in the back thereof, in combination, with a bar 6, having the curved portions 6 and a said portion 6 being arranged in said chambered part of said shell or casing, and secured beneath said bead a, and said bar having a hook c, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
4;. A shell or casing at having a marginal rim or bead a and a chambered portion in the back thereof, in combination, with a bar 6, having the curved portions 6 and 6 said portion 6 being arranged in said chambered part of said shell or casing, and secured beneath said bead a, and said bar having the curved portions c and c and a hook e, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
5. A shell or casing a, having a marginal rim or bead a and a chambered part in the back thereof, in combination, With a collet or ring 0, secured in said chambered part of the shell or casing, and a bar 6, having the curved portions 6 and 6 said portion 6 being arranged in said chambered part of the shell or casin g, and secured beneath said bead or shell 04, and a hook e on said bar, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
0. A shell or casing a having a marginal rim or bead a, and a chambered part in the back thereof, in combination, with a collet or ring 0, secured in said chambered part of the shell or casing, and a bar e, having the curved portions e and 6 said portion 6 being arranged in said chambered part of the shell or casing, and secured beneath said bead a, curved portions 6 and e on said bar, and a hook e thereon, all, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
In testimony that I claim the invention set forth above I have hereunto set my hand this 29th day of May, 1896.
GEORGE l3. ADAMS.
