LOCK FOR POCKETS..
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 777,397, dated December 13, 1904.
Application led May 14, 1904. Seria-1 No. 208,041. (No model.)
To LZZ whmn t may concern.-
`Be it known that I, DANIEL J. BUCKLEY, a citizen of the United States, residing' at Newburyport, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Locks for Pockets, of which the following is a speciiication.
My invention relates to new and useful improvements in locl'rs for watch-poeketsof garments; and its object is to provide a simple and inexpensive attachment which can be readily placed within a pocket and by means of which the pocket can be securely locked in closed position so that it cannot be opened without detection.
The invention consists of a strip of spring metal bent upon itself to form diverging arms which are adapted to be secured in any suitable manner to opposite sides of a pocket. A securing device is employed for fastening the two arms together so as to hold the pocket closed, and means are also employed for securing a watch to one of the arms.
The invention also consists in the further novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter more fully described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, showing the preferred form of my invention, and in which- Figure l is a perspective view of the attachment. Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof in position within a pocket, which is shown in section, the attachment being shown in closed position by dotted lines; and Fig. 3 is a detail view of one of the arms of a modilied form of attachment.
Referring to the ligures by numerals of reference, 1 is a spring', having' diverging arms 2 and 3 integral with it, and one of these arms is preferably straight and provided with a series of apertures A, while the other arm, 3, is curved and provided with a recess 5 in one edge. This recess is adapted to receive a headed stud 6, arranged upon the other arm and which when engaging the recess 5 serves to hold the two arms closed together. A strap 7 is connected to the arm 2 and has a snaphook 8 secured to it.
When it is desired to attach this device to a pocket, the same is placed therearound, but is inclosed bythe cloth of the garment and is secured to the pocket by means of stitches adapted to be inserted through the apertures 4. The headed stud 6 is then inserted through the pocket, and a portion of the pocket is cut away, so as to expose recess 5 in arm 3. It will thus be seen that the two arms, which are normally spaced apart, will hold the pocket open, as shown in Fig. 2. When it is desired to place a watch within the pocket and loch it therein, the same is placed upon the snaphook 8 and the outer face of the pocket is pressed inward, so as to bring the stud (i into engagement with the recess 5. The chain of the watch can be placed within the looped or intermediate portion fl, and it will be understood that the pocket will thus be held closed,
and it will he absolutely impossible to remove the watch unless the two arms are disengaged from each other and permitted to spread apart.
While I have shown the arm 2 provided with apertures A for the reception of threads, said arm can, if desired, be provided with a series of prongs 9 for engaging the pocket and. securing the arm in position. 1 have shown these prongs in Fig. 3.
In the foregoing description I have shown the preferred :form of my invention; but l do not limit myself thereto, as I am aware that modifications maybe made therein without departing from the spirit or sacrilieing any of the advantages thereof, and I therefore re serve the right to make such chang'es as fairly fall within the scope of my invention.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is- 1. An attachment for pockets comprising a pair of normally divergent arms provided at their meeting' ends with a permanently open loop, said arms being' adapted to close one upon the other, a watch-supporting device carried by one of the arms. and means for securing the" arms in their closed position.
2. An attachment for pockets comprising a length of spring metal bent to form a permanently open loop and a pair of normally divergent arms extending from said loop, said arms being adapted to close one upon the IO nently connected to the other arm, and a headed stud extending from the last-menA tioned arm adjacent the loop and adapted to be seated within the recess to hold the arms together.
In testimony whereof I aiiiX my signature in I5 presence of two witnesses.
DANIEL J. BUCKLEY. Witnesses:
