PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
The Manufacture of Combined Bracelets and Button Loopers.
1, ALICE LORIMER JOHNSTONE, of 26 Duke Street, Manchester Square,
Middlesex, Gentlewoman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention has for object, the manufacture of combined bracelets and glove
button loopers.
The bracelet portion is composed of two or more wires twisted on themselves to
obtain strength and sufficient rigidity with the required springiness for opening and
closing when being placed over the wrist of the wearer, the ends being at a
distance apart and connectable by a button looper, such as by a hinge joint at one
end, and having the looper portion at the other to engage over a bulbous, or other
shaped projection on the opposite end of the twisted wire, over which projection,
the looper can be sprung to complete the bracelet.
To use the glove button looper, the article is loosened and removed from the
wrist, and the looper turned on its hinge for use like an ordinary button-hook for
drawing the buttons through the button holes of the glove."
The article as a bracelet can bear any amount of ornamentation, and instead of
being from twisted wires, it may be from ribbon or strip metal stamped to
patterns, or embossed, or chased, or provided with precious stones, or otherwise
ornamented.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
The Manufacture of Combined Bracelets and Button Loopers.
I, ALICE LORIMER JOHNSTONE, of 26 Duke Street, Manchester Square,
Middlesex, Gentlewoman, 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 :-
This invention has for object, combining a button looper with a bracelet, said
looper forming the catch by which the bracelet is made complete and secured while
in wear.
The annexed sheet of drawings show my invention in its simplest form but it
may be otherwise concocted or arranged so long as the features hereinbefore
referred to exist in the one article.
Figure 1 represents the article in an open state.
Figure 2 in a closed state.
A is the button looper jointed at B to one end of the bracelet band C, the
opposite end of which is provided with a catch knob D, over which the looper, as a
catch, can engage when folded over the knob D, as at Figure 2.
The looper is intended as a glove buttoner, so that the wearer of the bracelet
has a glove fastener at hand.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The combination of a foldable extension looper A. available for buttoning gloves

page_text: and as a catch for securing a bracelet on the arm of a wearer, as set forth, and
substantially as represented in the annexed drawings.
