COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A
I, HENRY DELI.OS ANGLEOS REYNOLDS, of 2 Commercial Chambers, Manse
Street, Dunedin, in the Colony of New Zealand, Cork Merchant, 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 sleeve links which are worn by men and women as an
ornament and to fasten the cuff and the like of a garment.
It has for its object to provide a link which shall be readily adjusted upon the
cuff and the like and removed therefrom, be strong and simple in construction, and
easy to manufacture.
In carrying the objects of my invention into effect I make my link preferably in
the shape of a bent bar to follow the curve of the cuff, and beneath this bar I
provide hooks of a peculiar form and one which will not become detached when in
ordinary wear. A hook is passed through the bottom hole on each side of the cuff
and as they are mounted upon the bar, the cuff will be fastened.
In another form I make the bar with a joint in the middle and thus make it a
still easier matter to attach the link.
For the purpose of explaining my invention in the readiest manner I have
illustrated the same upon the accompanying drawing, which will be readily
understood by one skilled in the art to which my invention appertains and whereon
similar letters and figures of reference indicate similar parts throughout the views.
Figure 1 is a side view of my link.
Figure 2 is a plan of the same.
Figure 3 is a plan of another shape of bar.
Figure 4 is a side view of a link pivotted at the middle.
Figure 5 is a plan of the same.
The bar (a) is bent as shewn to follow the curve of the cuff and beneath such
bar I provide hooks (a¹) which are formed as shewn, the part (a 2) upon which the
cuff immediately rests being of smaller diameter than the width of the other
portion of the book. Each side of the hook is clipped upon its own hook as shown
in the Figures 1 & 3, and owing to the shape of enlarged portion of the hook a
cuff will not become detached during ordinary wear.
When desired the bar may be joined as shewn at (b) in Figures 4 & 5 for still
further facilitating the operation of attaching the link.
The link may be made of similar metals or materials as are at present employed
for the same purpose, and the bar may be made in a variety of forms and
ornamented in various ways as desired.

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,-
1. A link provided with hooks of the shape substantially as and for the purposes
set forth and illustrated herein.
2. A link provided with hooks of the shape and having a pointed bar,
substantially as and for the purposes set forth and illustrated herein.
3. The improved link, constructed and arranged as and for the purposes
bereinbefore described and illustrated on the accompanying drawings.
