TO ALL WHOM IT MAY concerns:
Be it'knowu that I, BENJAMIN J. WARNER, of 'Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, and State of New York, have invented, made, and applied to use, a certain new and useful Improvement in Watch Cases; and I do hereby declare the followingto be a full, clear, and exact description of the said invention, reference being had to the annexed drawing,'making part of this specification, wherein Figure 1 is a cross-section of the case.
Figure 2 is a view representing the case as open and Figure 3 is a section through the catch.
The nature of my said invention consists in a ring applied within the lid or cover of the watch case, adapted to the reception of likenesses; said ring being held by a catch so that it may be separated-from the lid for the introduction of a likeness, or for viewing a second likeness placed at the back of the first. By this construction I am enabled to safely carry within the watch case two photographic or other likenesses, which are protected from injury, and are in a convenient position for being frequently examined.
In the drawings, a is the centre or body of the case to which the shank is attached; 6 is the inner back or cap, which may be made in one piece with the basil, or fitted to open as usual; 0 is the lid, or one of the lids or covers, of any usual kind or material, and hinged to the body a at cl; 0 is a ring hinged also at d, and being between the lid 0 and basil a. This ring, e, is made with a .flange receiving the portraits, These portraits or pictures may be on opposite sides of a piece of card or other supporting materiah with their surfaces varnished or otherwise protected. I have, however, shown said pictures as introduced between two glasses, (watch crystals) as at it, and these are held in place within the ring e, by the snap-ring 0. The spring r, that is used to open the lids, acts upon the hinge of said lid through an opening in the hinge of the ring. s is the ordinary catch, acted upon by the compression pin through the shank of the case, in any well-known manner, but the catch is larger and projects up through an opening in the ring e, and is contiguous to a spring catch, u, that holds the ring e and lid 0 together. When the catch 8 is pressed back, the lid 0 and ring 6 fly open, exposing the picture next the inner back b, but if the ring a is held down by the nail, while the catch 5 is pressed back rather further than in the first instance, the catch 11. will be disconnected from the lid 0, and the case spring will throw the lid 0 back, and expose to view the other portrait, as seen in fig- 2- The ring e and lid may be held in place by any usual means, such as snapping instead of'having springs as shown.
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The hinged ring e, applied between the lid 0, and body a, and fitted for the reception of pictures, and provided with catches, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
I also claim the ring 0, snapping outside of the flange of the opening, receiving the glass or crystal and securing the same in place as shown.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my signature this first day of August, A. D. 1866. s
B. J. WARNER.
