PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Jewel Case.
I, HENRY MARTIN GAYDON trading as Birch & Gaydon of 172, Fenchurch
Street, London E.C., Horologist and Jeweller, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to the production of a case for containing jewellery and the
like in a compact, handy form, and is designed more especially for the use of
gentlemen as a safe receptacle for various articles of personal wear, such as studs,
solitaires, links etc. and also as a useful travelling companion and for presentation
purposes.
1.
The case, which is constructed in two portions hinged together and fastened by
an ordinary spring catch, is provided interiorly with a partition which is supported
on guides and is capable of removal from the case, or it may be hinged or
permanently secured therein. This partition is formed in such a manner that the
studs, solitaires, rings and scarf pins or the like can be readily adapted thereto,
and, when made detachable or hinged to the case, other articles, such as a watch
and chain, rings or the like may be placed within receptacles provided for the
purpose in the bottom of the case.
To enable the aforesaid partition to receive the articles above specified I first
provide two or more grooves or guides on the upper surface of said partition within
or between which the lower flanges of the studs are inserted. Two or more
openings and slots are formed in the edges of the said partition within which two
or more collar studs are inserted, whilst corresponding openings are formed in the
opposite edges of the partition for the reception of the stems of two or more
solitaires, the under side of the partition being cut away to receive the flanges of
the studs and solitaires. Two or more recesses are formed in the surface of the
partition and provided with upwardly projecting lugs to retain a pair or more of
links in position. The two opposite ends of the upper surface of the partition are
recessed to enable a sufficient number of scarf pins to be inserted in holes formed
in the central raised portion of the partition aforesaid. The latter after being
formed in the manner described is covered with a suitable fancy material.
I do not limit my invention to the particular construction specified as same may
be varied to accommodate jewellery, studs and other similar articles of varying
sizes and shapes, without departing from the essential features of my invention as
hereinbefore set forth.
