RESEDI
and other Fastenings.
I, GEORGE EGGINTON CARTER of 190 Warstone Lane Birmingham in the County of
Warwick Goldsmith, do hereby declare the nature of the said invention to be as
follows:-
My invention has for its object improvements in the fastenings of ear rings applicable
for chains or other fastenings which allows the connection with the car or other part
to he made very easily and effectively I will explain the invention as applied to an ear
fastening:
:-
To the lower part of the ear fastening and at the back of the plate I attach or
otherwise form thereto a projection formed on the upper part with a round nose and
an hollow which finishes with an upward projecting lip and to this I hinge a bent or
other tube arm containing a spiral or other spring which so acts upon the rounded
nose that a hinged bent tube arm remains either firmly open or firmly shut and the
upward projection closes the slot in the base of the said arm which forms a jaw and
through which a pivot pin passes. The iube is slotted or cut away at the top end so
that the end of the ear wire enters it and is effectively shielded thereby so that no side
shaking or movement of any kind is possible.

page_text: I GEORGE EGGINTON CARTER of 190 Warstone Lane Birmingham in the County of
Warwick Goldsmith do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :—
My invention has for its object improvements in the fastenings of car-rings
applicable for chains and other fastenings which allow the connection with the ear or
other part to be made very easily and effectively I will explain the invention as applied
to an ear fastening.
The the lower part of the car fastening and at the back of the plate 1 attach or
otherwise form thereto a projection formed on the upper part with a round nose and a
hollow which finishes with an upward projecting lip and to this I hinge a bent or other
tube arm containing a spiral or other spring which so acts upon the rounded nose that
the hinged bent tube arm remains either firmly open or firmly shut and the upward
projection closes the slot in the base of the said arm which forms a jaw and through
which a pivot pin passes. The tube is slotted or cut away at the top end so that the
end of the ear wire enters it and is effectively shielded thereby so that no side shaking
or movement of any kind is possible.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried into
practice I have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings shewing an enlarged example
thereof as applied to an ear-ring which will serve to illustrate the principle in the case
of other applications.
Figure is a part sectional elevation of the fastening when closed.
Figure 2 is a similar view to Figure 1. but shewing the fastening open.
In Figure 1 the ear wire A is connected to the plate 13 which may represent any
part of the car-ring or other article and upon which the fast projection C is formed.
The bent tube or other arm D which is slotted for and hinged to this projection by the
pin c¹ contains a spiral or other spring E having its one end bearing against the
projection at and is kept in position by the lip ³ the other end bearing against
the pin which is fast to the tube D-The other end of the tube is so shaped as to
bear against the wire A and effectively shield it when closed. On opening the
fastening as shown at Figure 2. the lower end of the spring slides upon the rounded

page_text: nose of the projection C which slightly compresses the spring until it slips to the
underside thereof at when the fastening would remain open as shown in Figure 2.
I thus obtain without complication a most simple and secure fastening with the point
of the wire perfectly shielded.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what 1 claim is :-
-
The improvements in the fastenings of ear rings and other articles of a jointed
shield D operated by a spring upon the nose Cand protecting the other part A when
closed substantially as herein set forth.
