WILLIAM SKELHORN of N° 32 Hatton Garden in the County of Middlesex
Jet Ornament Manufacturer A SWIVEL FOR USE IN THE MANUFACTURE OF
JEWELLERY ORNAMENTS AND ESPECIALLY BRACELETS
Two balls are made one being hollow and of a larger size than the other
(although it is not of necessity that the larger should be of a ball shape it may be
oblong square or of any shape which will contain a smaller ball half ball canister
or any instrument of a like shape or fashion. A small piece of twisted or plain
wire or screw is soldered on to each ball the larger ball is then cut into two parts
one part having a wire attached to it and the other having an aperture pierced
through the bottom of such part sufficiently large to admit of the wire which is
attached to the smaller ball or inside action (which can be made either solid or
hollow) being inserted and passed through such aperture and after the wire attached
to the smaller ball or inside action is passed through the aperture the smaller ball
or inside action then rests and fits into that part of the larger ball or case (which
is not attached to the wire) and the other part of the larger ball or case (with the
wire attached) is then placed over the uncovered part of the smaller ball or inside
action which is then completely hidden from the sight the two parts of the larger
ball or case are thin soldered together or otherwise united and the whole forms
the swivel.
The application of the invention is as follows
"
That part of the outer cup or case with the aperture together with the wire
attached to the inside action (or smaller ball) is sunk into one piece of material in
which the wire from the inside action is secured leaving that part of the outer case
with the wire attached to it exposed which wire together with any part of the case
that may project is then sunk into a second piece of material (bringing it close to
the first piece of material) the wire being secured the two pieces of material can
then be turned round and at the same time kept close the one to the other as
shewn in the accompanying sketches of Jet Bracelet.
