PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Means for Retaining Wristbands, Cuffs, and the like, in
Position.
I, AUGUSTA TURNER, of the Vicarage, Middleton, Pickering, in the County of
Yorkshire, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows
:-
My invention relates to an improved means for keeping wristbands, cuffs and the
like in position and has for its object to prevent the wristband, cuff or the like from
working up or out of the sleeve of the wearer, and at same time to be able to
adjust such wristband, cuff or the like in any requisite position.
According to my invention I bend or otherwise form a piece of wire or other
suitable material in the centre, so as to form a half loop with two ends which I
fashion into loops or eyes of a smaller size than the centre one.
The two small loops or eyes are sewn or otherwise fastened to the inside of the
sleeve of the coat, dress, or the like and the centre half loop encircles the neck of
the stud, link solitaire or the like, thereby keeping the wristband, cuff or other
article in one position.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Means for Retaining Wristbands, Cuffs, and the like, in
Position.
I, AUGUSTA TURNER, of the Vicarage, Middleton, Pickering, in the County of
Yorkshire, 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 :-
My invention relates to an improved means for keeping wristbands, cuffs and the
like in position and has for its object to prevent the wristband, cuff or the like
from working up or out of the sleeve of the wearer, and at the same time to be able
to adjust such wristband, cuff or the like in any requisite position.
.
According to my invention I bend or otherwise form a piece of wire or other
suitable material in the centre, so as to form a half loop with two ends which I
fashion into loops or eyes of a smaller size than the centre one.
The two smaller loops or eyes are sewn or otherwise fastened to the inside of the
sleeve of the coat, dress, or the like and the centre half loop encircles the neck of
the stud, link, solitaire or the like, thereby keeping the wristband, cuff or other
article in position.
In the annexed drawing Figure 1 is an elevational view of my improved device,
shown detached, and Figures 2 and 3 modifications of same; Figures 4, 5 and 6
illustrate the said device adapted in position.
The device, as shown at Figure 1 comprises a piece of wire or other suitable
material A bent in the centre to form a half loop a, the two ends being formed into
smaller loops which are sewn or otherwise fastened to the inside of the sleeve of
the coat or the like, Figures 4 and 5, whilst the central loop a partially encircles
the neck of the stud or the like Figure 6, and retains the cuff or the like in position.
Instead of the loops b, I may attach the device A in position by means of a sleeve
piece or loop of tape or the like B which is sewn to the inside of the cuff of the
coat and in which the straight ends of the device A are inserted, Figures 2 and 3.

page_text: 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 :-
In the improved means for retaining wristbands, cuffs and the like in position the
employment of a piece of wire or the like A, bent as shown, and formed with a
central loop a for holding the stud or link, and with looped ends or equivalents
for attachment to the sleeve of the coat or the like substantially as described and
shown.
