PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Bracelets, Scarf-slides, and
such like articles.
I HENRY ALLSOP of '89 Spencer Street Birmingham Stamper and Piercer do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention refers to bracelets scarf slides and such like articles made out of
strips of solid metal and consists of forming each half of the article of a strip of
metal having near to its one end two ears or projections. These ears or pro-
jections are then reduced in thickness of metal by stamping pressing or otherwise
and turned over to the under side of the band to form clips. The other end of
each strip is stamped pressed or otherwise reduced and turned over so as to form a
hinge joint when the two parts are pinned together.
The catch for this bracelet or scarf slide is formed by placing within the turned
over ears above described a thin piece of metal so formed at one end as to be
tightly gripped by the clips and formed with a double or plit tongue at the other
end so that when pressed against the turned over cars of the other half of the
article the tongues will snap into the turned over ears and be held fast.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Bracelets, Scarf-slides, and
such like articles.
I HENRY ALLSOP of 89 Spencer Street Birmingham Stamper and Piercer do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement, reference being had to the drawings and to the letters and figures marked
thereon:-
This invention refers to bracelets scarf slides rings and such like articles made
out of strips of solid metal and consists of forming each portion or half of the
article of a strip of metal having near to its one end two ears or projecting pieces.
These ears or projections are reduced in thickness of metal by stamping pressing
or otherwise and turned over to the underside of the strip to form clips. The
other end of each strip is stamped pressed or otherwise reduced and turned over
to form a hinge joint when the two strips are pinned together.
The catch for the bracelet scarf slide ring or such like article is formed by
placing within the turned over ears of one portion a thin piece of metal so formed
that it can be tightly gripped at one end by the ears in which it is placed the
other end of this thin piece of metal being formed as a double or split tongue so
shaped that when it is pressed against the turned over ears on the other portion of
the article the tongues will snap into these turned over ears and the two parts of
the article become securely fastened.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of reference
apply to similar parts,
Fig. 1 is a view of a complete bracelet, shewn unfastened.
Fig. 2 is a plan and a side view of one strip shewing the hinge joint (b) turned
over.

page_text: Fig. 4 is a plan of the catch or tongue piece.
(a, a and b) are the stamped pressed or otherwise reduced portions to form the
hinge (a, b) Fig. 1.
(c, c,) are the ears shewn turned over in Fig. 1 to form the catch for the tongue
piece to snap into.
(d, d,) are the ears shewn turned over in Fig. 1 to form the gripping piece to
hold the tongue piece Fig. 4.
(e) is the back portion of the tongue piece shaped so as to be gripped by the
ears (dd). () is the split or double tongue, so constructed that when the ends
are pressed against the turned over ears (r, c) they will snap past the ears and be
held, by reason of the recesses (x, z).
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :
Constructing bracelets scarf-slides rings and such like articles in two parts hinged
together with a third part acting as a catch or clip, the several parts being formed
substantially in the manner and for the purposes herein set forth and illustrated by
the drawings.
