JEWEL-BAR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

. Patented March 3, 1908.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY W. FISHEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at the borough of Manhattan, in the city of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Jewel-Bars, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof.

My invention relates to jewel bars in which a number of jewels are mounted close together in a row so as to form a bar suitable for use in clasp pins, brooch pins, barrettes, combs and numerous other articles of jewelry, and the object of the invention is to produce a jewel bar in which security in the settings and beauty of efiect are secured in a high degree, and in which the advantages of the ordinary box settings and beaded settings are to a large degree combined.

To the above end the invention comprises a ewel bar in which the settings are provided at one side with thin walls which are burnished down on the jewels in the manner of the ordinary box setting, while at the other side the jewels are secured by beading, the metal body of the bar being provided at this side with a solid margin affording substance for beading and also afiording a firm wall to support the jewels during the burnishing operation.

The construction above described aifords a bar of greater strength than bars provided with complete box settings, while the jewels are more securely fastened than in the ordinary beaded settings, and the appearance of the bar, especially when used in curved forms with the beaded sides of the settings on the inside of the curve, combines the brilliancy of the beaded setting with the handsome exterior finish afforded by the scalloped form of the outer sides of the settings.

I will now describe the embodiment of my invention illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and will thereafter point out my invention in claims.

In the drawings Figures 1 and 2 are, respectively, a front elevation and a vertical section of a jewel bar embodying my invention, and Figs. 3 and 4 are similar views of a modified form, shown in incomplete condition, before the insertion of the jewels.

The bar has a body portion 1 of metal, provided with a series of sockets 2 for the reception of the jewels 3'. Along one side of these sockets is a thin wall 4 at the margin of the bar, this wall curving around and embracing almost one-half of each jewel, and being burnished down over the edge of the jewel, as shown in Fig. 2. At the other side, the bar has a smooth surface terminating, to enhance the brilliancy of the setting, in burnished beveled surfaces 5 and 6, and between this side of the bar and the sockets are surfaces 8 affording material for the beadings 7 by which the jewels are secured on this side. In Figs. 1 and 2 this construction is shown as applied to a horseshoe or other curved form, and the smooth side of the bar is on the inside of the curve, so that the scalloped surface formed by the burnished side of the setting gives the bar its outer and more prominent aspect, while the beading enhances the brilliancy ofthe bar when viewed directly or at a slight angle. To improve the appearance of the bar when viewed at an angle the sockets and jewels are outwardly inclined, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

In Figs. 3 and 4 a straight bar is shown, in its condition before the insertion of the ewels and the burnishing and beading of the settings.

A bar constructed according to the present invention is stronger than a bar scalloped on both sides to provide complete box settings, while the exterior appearance of a box setting is secured by so arranging the bar in the design that the box side of the settings is outward. The solid wall on one side of the bar affords a firm foundation or backing for the jewels during the burnishing operation on the other side, and the jewels are therefore secured firmly in place.

It is obvious that various modifications may be made in the details of construction of the embodiment of my invention illustrated in the accompanying drawings and above described within the nature and scope of the invention.

I claim: v

1. A jewel bar comprising a body provided with ewel-receiving sockets, a thin wall at one side of each socket, and beading at the other side of each socket and jewels secured in the sockets, the thin wall being burnished down on the ewels.

2. A jewel bar comprising a body provided with jewel-receiving sockets, a thin wall curved around one side of each socket, a solid margin on the other side of the sockets affording material for beading, and beading formed in such margin and jewels secured in 5 the sockets, the thin wall being burnished down on the jewels.

3. A jewel bar comprising a curved body provided with jewel-receiving sockets, a thin outer wall curved around the outer sides of 10 the sockets, a smooth inner wall provided with beading, and jewels secured in the sockets, the thin outer wall being burnished down on the jewels.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

HENRY W. FISHEL.
