Description

ALEXANDER W. FUNK, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.
WATCH-HOLDER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 11, 1907.
Application filed August 9,1906. Serial No. 329,865.
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALEXANDER W. FUNK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Watch-Holders, of which the following is a specification.
This invention is a watch holder particularly designed for motormen, engineers, and other persons who have to frequently inspect their watches.
The object of the invention is to provide a holder which will securely hold a watch in such a position that it can be readily seen, and also movable to such a position that it will be out of the way when not in use.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of the device in one position. Fig. 2 is a side view in the other. Fig. 3 is a rear view. Fig. 4 is a top plan View.
Referring specifically to the drawings, 7
represents a base or attaching plate to the rear side of which is fixed a pin 9 whereby the holder may be pinned to the coat or other garment of the person using the holder. The
plate has two side arms 8 which are curled at the top to form knuckles for the hinge rod 2. Said plate also has a central arm 10 which forms a snap to hold the watch in raised or lowered position, as hereinafter described. The plate is formed of spring metal so that the arm 10 has a spring action.
The watch is held between hook sha ed fingers 6 projecting from a plate 4, whic is hinged at its inner end to the rod 2 between the arms 8, and at the hinge the said plate 4 has a T-shaped recess 3 through which fits, or extends, a T-shaped tongue 14 at the upper end of the arm 10.
The plate 4 will swing up or down on its hin e. When it is swung up it is in substantialIy horizontal position, so that the face of the watch is exposed upwardly, in which position it can be quickly seen. The plate is held in that position by resting upon the shoulder at the base of the tongue 14, which snaps out into the contracted portion of the recess 3. When not in use, the resting plate 4 can be dropped by pressing inwardly on the spring 10 so that the upper end of said spring will pass through the wide portion of the recess 3 and allow the late 4 to drop, in which position the watch Wlll lie close to the wearer, and out of the way for the time. The plate 4 and hooks 6 can be lined with leather or rubber so as to not scratch the watch.
I claim:
1. A watch holder comprising a slotted plate having means to attach the same to a support, another plate hinged to said plate and having means to hold a watch, and also having a s at the en extending into the slot and arranged to hold the. plates at an angle to each other.
2. A watch holder comprising a plate having attaching means, another plate hinged thereto and aving means to hold a watch, and a spring arm projecting from one late and engageable with the other to hol the plates extended at an angle to each other.
3. A watch holder comprising a plate having a spring arm'projecting therefrom and also having means for. attachment to a support, and another plate hinged to the top of said plate and arranged to swing up and down, and having means to hold a watch, and engaged and supported by said arm when in raised osition.
In testimony whereof I havev signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
ALEXANDER W. FUNK.
Witnesses:
JOHN A. BOMMHARDT, SHIRLEY J. BOMMHARDT.
