POCKET SAFETY DEVICE. APPLICATION rILnn 00112, 1909. Y

(W9 lg' nu' Namen rzrlns co.. Illlsnnmfon n c UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
IVAR G. BERGENSTROHLE, 0F WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS.
POCKET SAFETY DEVICE.
To all whom 'it may concern.' i Be it known that I, IVAR G. BERGEN- s'rRoHLn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Worcester, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Pocket Safety Device, of which the `following is a specification.
This invention relates to a device for retaining articles in the pocket and preventing their accidental loss, and also for preventing them from being stolen without giving sufficient notice to the owner.
The invention also involves the provision of means for accomplishing this result, constructed in a very simple manner and of inexpensive materials.
`Further objects and advantages of the invention will appear hereinafter.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, in which-` Figure 1 is a side view of one form of the invention shown in position on awatch; Fig.- 2 is a front elevation thereof; Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the device removed from the watch; and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a modified form of the invention applied to a book.
In the form of the invention shown in the first three figures, it is shown as comprising a frame 10 formed of a single integral piece of wire and having two downwardly extending legs 11 substantially parallel with each other. At the top the two legs are connected by the wire, and this connection is employed in the form shown in these three figures for connecting the frame with the watch. For this purpose the upper part of the frame is provided with a loop 12 adapted to clasp the neck of the watch as indicated in Figs. l and 2. The two legs of the frame are held together by a sheet metal strap 13, and they are also shown in this instance as being connected by a fiexible sheet of material 14, wrapped around the two legs of the frame and stretched across the intervening space. From the bottom of the legs two integral wire arms 15 extend upwardly and outwardly, and at their up er ends they are provided with loops 16 which are embedded in the edge of a rubber pad Specification of Letters Patent.
Application led October 12, 1999.
Patented Dec. 6, 1910. Serial No. 522,342.
17. This pad is shown as roughened on the outer surface so as to provide projections thereon for engaging the inside of the outer wall of the pocket and holding the article therein.
Inthe form of the invention shown in Fig. 4 the construction is of a similar chai'- acter, but the parallel legs 21 of the frame 20 are connected across the top by the straight integral bar 22. The frame is connected with the book or the like by means of clips 23 which surround the wire of the frame and have ends inside adapted to bend outwardly in a well-known manner. The other parts are substantially the same as shown in the first three figures, but the fabric 14 is omitted. It will be seen that with the article and retaining device placed in the pocket the rubber pad will press against the pocket and if an attempt is made to remove the article it will silnply result in forcing the pad farther out and cause pressure to be applied so that the owner will feel it and notice that the article is being abstracted. In this way losses due to accident and theft will be substantially prevented.
IVhile I have illustrated and described two embodiments of the invention, I am aware that many modifications can be made therein by any person skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention as expressed in the claims. Therefore I do not wish to be limited to all the details of construction herein shown and described, but
Vhat I do claim is 1. As an article of inamlfacture, a watch guard, comprising a frame made of wire having horizontal means on the top for engaging the watch stem, parallel legs extending downwardly therefrom uniformly spaced apart throughout their length, and adapted to lie along the surface of a watch, an arm extending upwardly and outwardly from the bottom of each of the legs, a pad on the upper ends of said arms, and a sheet metal strip connecting the lower ends of said legs.
2. As an article of manufacture, a device for retaining articles in the pocket comprising a downwardly extending frame having means thereon for securing it to the article my hand7 in the presence of two Subseribin to be retained, two integral flexible arms witnesses.
extendnff upwardly and outwardly from T the bottobm of the frame, and a rubber pad IVAR G' BERGEL STROHLE' 5 Secured to the ends of said arms in position VitneSseS:
to engage the outer wall of the pocket. E. M. ALLEN,
