PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Appliances for Holding or Displaying
Cuff Links.
I, CHARLES HORNER, of 23 Northgate Halifax, in the County of York,
Jeweller, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in appliances designed for holding cuff
links in position on show cards, or boards, or in cases, in such a position that the
faces of the links are fully exposed to view and without any liability of the links
falling off the holding device, though such links can, when desired, be readily
removed and again replaced in position.
According to this my invention, 1 employ for each link, a bent spring wire, the
middle portion of such wire being secured to the back of the show card, or board,
or case, and the two ends cranked and passed through holes, to the front of the
board or case. Each end of the spring wire is bent in opposite directions into a
hook-like form, and by pressing a link onto a pair of the hooks, the latter are
sprung together until their ends pass behind the
at the back of the link.
The links are held by the device in an extended position, i.e. with the connecting
ain or link in a straight line.

The show cards, boards, or cases, and the hooked ends of the wires, may, as
dinary, be covered with velvet or other soft substance.

Improvements in Appliances for Holding or Displaying
Cuff Links.
I, CHARLES HORNER, of 23 Northgate, Halifax, in the County of York,
Jeweller, 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 relates to improvements in appliances designed for holding cuff
links in position on show cards or boards, or in cases, in such a position that the
faces of the luks are fully exposed to view, and without any liability of the links
falling off the bolding device, though such links can, when desired, be readily
removed, and again replaced in position.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention, the following is a
complete description of same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, in
which :-
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the improved appliances for holding and displaying
cut links, the velvet or covering being removed from the upper half in order to
shew the construction
Figs. 2. 3. and 4 are views of the bent spring wire.

page_text: According to this my invention I employ for each cuff link, a bent spring wire 1,
the middle portion 2 of such wire 1 being secured to the back of the show-card or
board or case 3 by a thin strip of metal or board being glued or otherwise secured
over the back of the board or case, or pinned thereon by staples. The two
ends 4. 4 are cranked and passed through holes 5. 5 to the front of the board or
case 3. Each end 4 of the spring wire 1 is bent in opposite directions into a
hook-like form, and by pressing a cuff link onto a pair of the hooks (see Fig. 1)
the latter are sprung together until their ends pass behind the "eyes at the back
of the link. The links are held by the device in an extended position, i.e., with the
connecting chain or link in a straight line.
"
The show-cards, boards, or cases 3, and in some cases, the hooked ends of the
wires 1, are covered with velvet, or other soft material.
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:-
The spring wire devices in combination with a perforated board, card or case,
as and for the purpose herein described, and substantially as illustrated by Fig. 1
of the accompanying drawings.
