PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Watch Protector.
CARL ALEXANDER 4 Aytoun Street Manchester do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
Four rings are coupled together; three of them are plain, simple rings, and
hung link into link, whilst the fourth has a bar across the centre, of the same
thickness of material, of which the ring itself is made. To this bar the above
mentioned three rings are fastened, by the end-ring being linked on to it. By this
arrangement this said end-ring can slide up and down and gives this combination
of four rings the utmost flexibility.
The ring with the bar is fastened into the button-hole provided at the pocket
which has to carry the watch.
The rings are of different sizes; the 2 end-ones are much larger than the two
middle-ones.
They can be made of any material, suitable for the purpose, gold, silver,
copper, steel, iron, nickel etc. etc. etc. The chain works through the larger ring,
hanging this side the button-hole.

centre of the same thickness of material, of which the ring itself is made. To
this bar e the above mentioned three rings b. c. d. are fastened by the inner end-
ring 6 being linked on to it. By this arrangement this said end-ring b, can slide
up and down upon the bar e, and gives this combination of four rings a. b. c. d. the
utmost flexibility and freedom of movement.
The ring a with the bar e is fastened into the passed through and comes at the back
of a button-hole F, Fig. II provided at in the pocket, G which has to carry the
