A New or Improved Holder for Attaching Watches to Velocipedes
Articles of Furniture, and the like.
1, JAMES BRAY, of 17, Railway Approach, London Bridge, S.E. Merchant,.
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to a new and improved holder for attaching watches to
velocipedes, articles of furniture and the like.
In accordance with my invention, I employ a flat metal frame or plate one end
of which is turned up and slotted so as to form a double claw. Secured to the
underside of said frame is a small rod or bar carrying a spiral spring which latter
takes a bearing against and holds in position a sliding socket piece provided with
two claws, one at each side, similar to that formed at the end of the frame. At
the other end of said frame, I attach a steel or like metal band so that the holder
can be secured, taking for example a bicycle, to the handle bar or any other suitable
portion thereof by means of a small bolt and nut or the like.
Now when it is desired to attach a watch to a bicycle by means of the holder
above described, the sliding socket piece is drawn down, and the watch laid upon
the frame between the three above mentioned claws, the socket piece is then
released when by the action of the spring the watch is firmly gripped between the
said three claws.
By the employment of the sliding socket piece, any sized watch can be securely
attached to velocipedes, articles of furniture and the like by means of my improved
holder.
