HOLDING DEVICE FOR WATCHES.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 2, 1915.
Application filed November 10, 1913. Serial No. 800,141.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES G. SCHMIDT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Okemah, in the county of Okfuskee and State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Holding Devices for Watches, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to holding devices for watches and the like, and its object is to provide a device of this character which will not be liable to scratch or wear the watch rings.
Heretofore, the most common means of attaching a watch to a chain has been by means of a snap hook which is usually swiveled to the chain.
The present invention contemplates the substitution of a loop of soft flexible ma-. terial such, for example, as a leather strap, for the snap hook in common use.
The invention also consists in improved details of construction of the clasp employed for holding the ends of such a loop.
In order that the invention may be readily understood, reference is had to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, and in which,
Figure l is a perspective view showing my improved clasp and loop as they appear when attached to a watch and chain; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the clasp and loop in open position; Fig. 3 is a central hor1- zon'tal section through the clasp and loop, parts being in elevation; and, Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the top of the clasp box.
Referring to the drawings in detail, the clasp which I prefer'to employ comprises a box-like body 1 having a cover 2 pivoted between the walls of the box by means of pintles 3, which may be formed integral with the cover, as clearly shown in Fig. 4. At the front edge of the cover is formed a pair of locking tongues 4, having bent-inends adapted to engage recesses 5 in the front wall of the body. As these tongues are resilient, it will be understood that, as the cover is closed, they snap into position in the recesses 5. Projecting from the front edge of the cover is a third locking tongue 6, which is adapted to lie in a notch or groove 7, formed in a screw-threaded shank or stud 8 rigidly secured to the front wall of the box. On this stud travels a nut 9 which, when the cover 2 of the box is closed, is adapted to embrace the tongue 6 and thus securely hold it. A collar 10 is swiveled upon the outer end of the stud 8, the extreme end 12 being upset so as to prevent the removal of the collar. Secured to the collar 10 1s a ring 11, to which the usual chain may be attached in any well known manner.
Pro ect1ng upwardly from the center of the bottom of the box 1, is a pin 13 of substantially the same height as the depth of the box. A loop or strap 14 of flexible mater1a l is provided at each end with a reinforcing plate 15 of suitable metal, centrally perforated at 16, and secured to the strap as by means of tongues 17 shown in Fig. 2. The strap is entirely detached and the ends thereof are adapted to be inserted through the rear wall of the box, as clearly shown in the drawings. The perforations 16 are placed over the pin 13, and when the cover 2 is in closed position, as in Fig. 3, it will be seen that it is impossible for the ends of the strap or loop to become disengaged from the pin.
It will be observed that the device can be disconnected from the watch by withdraw mg one end of the strap in the manner illustrated in Fig. 2, and that when the strap is worn, it can be easily removed from'the clasp and a new strap substituted. In order to facilitate opening the cover of the clasp, the front edge thereof may be provided with a ltig 6, which maybe engaged by the finger na1 While I have shown and described the holding device as being particularly adapted for use in connection with watches or the like, it will also be understood that those features of the invention relating to the clasp for holding the ends of theloop are of more general application. therefore, I do not desire to be limited to the exact details shown but contemplate any changes which may properlv fall within the scope of the appended claims.
What I claim is:
1. A holding device for watches and the like comprising a looped strap adapted to engage a watch ring, a clasp in which both ends of said strap are detachably held, said clasp comprising a body portion and a relatively movable manually operated member, and means for attaching said clasp to a chain or guard.
2. A holding device for metal rings and the like, comprising a strap adapted to be passed through the ring, a clasp comprising Copies of this patent may be obtained stud extending from the front wall of the box, a tongue projecting from the free edge of the cover and arranged to lie adjacent said stud when the cover is in closed position, and a nut constructed to embrace both said stud and tongue, and thus lock the parts in place. In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
