PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Sleeve Links and such like Articles for Fastening.
CALEB LOOM of 20 Holborn Viaduct London E.C. Watchmaker do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In the plates forming the underparts of the 2 link pieces I make a slot running
from side to side to within say of an inch of the outer edge or rim on either
side.
I make the usual attachment of the two link pieces by means of a connecting bar
or loop attached to the centre and well sunk in the slot in each of the aforesaid
link pieces. By virtue of the slot the connecting bar can be depressed deeply into
the under surface of the link and I allow it to be even more depressed by bevelling
off in an inward direction the remaining edge or rim (of about 1 of an inch) on
the two sides.
The attachment to the centre of the link pieces of the connecting bar or loop
may be done by means of a horizontal pin crossing the link piece in the contrary
direction to the slot and which pin may be fastened by solder or otherwise on the
inside of the underparts of the link pieces.
The connecting bar or loop will when the link is in position for inserting or
releasing in the hole of the garment be in the slot or groove and will project very
little above the plate of the underpart of the link piece as before described.
By means of my improvement I avoid using the usual projecting shank on the
underpart of the link which shank causes difficulty in inserting and releasing in the
hole of the garment.
The bar may consist of a piece of wire or metal bent round and attached to
the pin before mentioned.

Improvements in Sleeve Links and such like Articles for Fastening.
CALEB LOOM of 18/20 Holborn Viaduct London E.C. Watch Maker 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 made to the accompanying drawing which illustrates my
invention :-
In the plates A forming the underparts of the 2 link pieces B I make a slot C
running from side to side to within say 1 of an inch of the outer edge or rim D
on either side.
I make the usual attachment of the two link pieces by means of a connecting
bar or loop E attached to the centre and well sunk in the slot C in each of the
aforesaid link pieces B. By virtue of the slot C the connecting bar E can be
depressed deeply into the under surface of the link and I allow it to be even more
depressed by bevelling off in an inward direction the remaining edge or rim D (of
about th of an inch) on the two sides.
The attachment to the centre of the link pieces B of the connecting bar or loop E
may be done by means of a horizontal pin F formed at each end of the connecting
bar E and crossing the link piece B in the contrary direction to the slot C. These
pins Fare permanently fastened to, and so as to work freely in, their respective

page_text: link pieces B by fitting in a slot G in a plate H which is enclosed between the
plate A and the front I of the link piece B and secured to the plate A by the
rivets J J or by soldering or other means. The connecting bar or loop E will when
the link piece B is in position for inserting or releasing in the hole of the garment,
lie in the slot or groove C and will project very little above the plate of the under-
part of the link piece B as before described.
By means of my invention I avoid using the usual projecting shank on the under-
part of the link B which shank causes difficulty in inserting and releasing in the
hole of the garment.
The bar E may consist of a piece of wire or metal bent round and attached to
the pins F before mentioned.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
First: The attachment of two link pieces by means of a connecting bar or loop
attached to the centre and well sunk in a slot in the link pieces which slot runs
from side to side to within say th of an inch of the outer edge or rim on either
side of the aforesaid link pieces.
Secondly-The attachment to the centre of the link pieces of the connecting
bar or loop by means of a horizontal pin crossing the link piece in the contrary
direction to the slot & which pin may be fastened by solder or otherwise on the
inside of the underparts of the link pieces.
Thirdly-That by means of my invention I avoid using the usual projecting
shank on the underpart of the link which shank causes difficulty in inserting &
releasing in the hole of the garment.
