I WILLIAM SKELHORN Jet Ornament Manufacturer of No 32 Hatton Garden
London do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVED MOUNTS
OR LININGS OR PART LININGS FOR BRACELETS, COLLARETTES AND ARTICLES OF
A LIKE NATURE to consist of the following:-
Two flat pieces of metal band (Figs. 1 & 2) of any thickness and of any width
suitable to the pattern of the article to be manufactured and being either of a
round or oval shape when the ends are connected. The end of one piece of the
metal band (Fig. 1) has attached to it by rivetting or otherwise a flat spring or
snap (A) with a rod or pusher (B) affixed to enable the spring (A) to be pushed
down at will-the rod or pusher (B) to be of sufficient length to enable the same
to be used after the material forming the outer covering of the bracelet or other
article has been affixed to the lining. To the end of the other piece of band
(Fig. 2) is affixed a box or catch (C) into which the spring or snap (A) passes, so
bringing the ends of the two pieces of band together and securing them. The
other ends of the bands are secured by a bolt or catch (E) being affixed to one
which is made to fit into a slot (F) in the other so bringing these ends of the band
together and is prevented from becoming detached by a part of the band being
turned over (G) or a piece of metal soldered on or otherwise affixed to the band.
In this arrangement the bolt or catch (E) must be placed in the slot (F) before the
spring or snap (A) is passed into the box or catch (C). Or the opposite ends of the
two pieces of band to those attached by the box (C) and snap (A) can be united by
a flat tapering hinge (J. J. Fig. 4) secured to the ends of each piece of band-the
hinge (J. J.) to be of such a length as when closed it shall correspond to the length
of the pusher (B). The hinge to be narrowest at the end furthest from the
lining (K. Figs. 4 & 5). A guide or check (L) is attached to the outside of this
end of the lining consisting of a narrow flat piece of thin metal or a piece of wire
or spring secured to the lining close to the hinge (M) by soldering rivetting or
otherwise-Such guide or check is passed through a hole on each side of the hinge
at the widest parts adjoining the lining, thence into a tunnel or cover (N) fixed on
the outside of the lining on the other side of the binge. Such guide or check (L)
will be free to slide backwards or forwards in the tunnel (N) but will be prevented

page_text: from coming out of the tunnel by having a head or check piece made either by
turning back 'a smail portion of it or by soldering a piece of metal on to it or
otherwise forming a head. The length of the guide or check (L) to be sufficient to
enable the bracelet or other article to be opened wide enough to be placed on the
wrist or otherwise.
On the outer flat sides of the lining small metal pegs are fixed (see Fig. 3) so
that the material used in forming the bracelet or other article can be secured to
the outside of the lining which together with the pegs will be completely covered
(Fig. 5). The lining above described need not of necessity be carried all round the
inside of the bracelet or other article. If the material used to cover the lining be
of sufficient strength, the lining only need consist of those parts to which the snap
& box and the catch and slot, or hinge catch and box, are attached (see Figs. 6 & 7).
Having now described the nature of my said invention and in what manner
the same is to be applied and having given illustrations of the same in the
accompanying drawings, I declare that what I claim as my invention is:
-
A metal lining or part lining of metal with actions as before described for
bracelets collarettes and other articles of a like kind particularly applicable to Jet
or any material of a brittle nature or where pieces are used in forming bracelets
collarettes & to strengthen and support them.

I WILLIAM SKELHORN Jet Ornament Manufacturer of N° 32 Hatton Garden
London, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVED MOUNTS
OR LININGS OR PART LININGS FOR BRACELETS COLLARETTES AND ARTICLES OF A
LIKE NATURE, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
Two pieces of metal band (Figs 1 & 2) of any shape or thickness and of any
width or length suitable to the pattern of the article to be manufactured and being
either of a round or oval shape when the ends are connected. The end of one piece
of the metal band (Fig. 1) has attached to it by rivetting soldering or otherwise a
flat spring or snap (A) with a rod or pusher (B) affixed to enable the spring (A) to
be pushed down at will. The rod or pusher (B) to be of sufficient length to enable
the same to be used after the material forming the outer covering of the bracelet
or other article has been affixed to the lining. To the end of the other piece of
band (Fig. 2) is affixed a box or catch (C) into which the spring or snap (A) passes
so bringing the ends of the two pieces of band together and securing them. The
other ends of the bands are secured by a bolt or catch (E) being affixed to one
which is made to fit into a slot (F) in the other so bringing these ends of the band
together and is prevented from becoming detached by a part of the band being
turned over (G) or a piece of metal soldered on or otherwise affixed to the band.
In this arrangement the bolt or catch (E) must be placed in the slot (F) before the
spring or snap (A) is passed into the box or catch (C).
Or the opposite ends of the two pieces of band to those attached by the box (C)
and snap (A) can be connected by a flat tapering hinge (J. J. Fig. 4) secured to the
ends of each piece of band. The hinge (J. J.) to be of such a length as when
closed it shall correspond to the length of the pusher (B). The hinge to be
narrowest at the end furthest from the lining (K. Figs 4 & 5). A guide or
check (L) is attached to the outside of this end of the lining consisting of a narrow
flat piece of thin metal or a piece of wire or spring secured to the lining close to
the hinge (M) by soldering rivetting or otherwise-such guide or check is passed
through a hole on each side of the hinge at the widest parts adjoining the lining
thence into a tunnel or cover (N) fixed on the outside of the lining on the other
side of the hinge Such guide or check (L) will be free to slide backwards or
forwards in the tunnel (N) but will be prevented from coming out of the tunnel
by having a head or check piece made either by turning back a small portion of it
or by soldering a piece of metal on to it or otherwise forming a head. The length
of the guide or check (L) to be sufficient to enable the bracelet or other article to
be opened wide enough to be placed on the wrist or otherwise.
On the outer sides of the lining small metal pegs are fixed (see Fig. 3) so that
the material used in forming the bracelet or other article can be secured to the
outside of the lining which together with the pegs will be completely covered
|(Fig. 5).

page_text: The lining above described need not of necessity be carried all round the inside
of the bracelet or other article-If the material used to cover the lining be of
sufficient strength the lining only need consist of those parts to which the snap
and box and the catch and slot or hinge catch and box are attached (see
Figs 6 & 7).
Having now described the nature of my said invention and in what manner the
same is to be applied and having given illustrations of the same in the drawings
filed with the Provisional Specification I declare that what I claim as my
invention is:-
A metal lining or part lining of metal with actions as before described for
bracelets collarettes and other articles of a like kind particularly applicable to Jet
or any material of a brittle nature or where pieces are used in forming bracelets
collarettes & to strengthen and support them.
