A Watch Sliding on a Chain.
EDWARD MOJON and JOHN MANGER, trading as Mojon Manger & Co., 26 and
27, Bortlett's Buildings, in the City of London, Watch Manufacturers and
Importers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The application of this invention to a neck chain which may be used, for the
carrying of a muff an eyeglass, a fan, or purposes similar, is constructed so as to
permit the watch to slide up and down the chain or to allow the watch to rest
in any position on the chain the wearer thereof may desire.
The pipe ring clip or other conduit through which the chain passes may be
fixed to the watch or slide upon the chain independently of one another.
The object being to wear a watch sliding up and down the chain in any
position the wearer may fancy.
The novelty of this invention is that a watch has not before been attached to
a chain with this sliding facility, and that it has not hitherto existed.

EDWARD MOJON and JOHN MANGER, 26 and 27, Bortlett's Buildings, Holborn
Circus, London, E.C., Watch Manufacturers and Importers, 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:-
The application of this invention to a neck chain, which may be used for the
carrying of a muff an eye glass, a fan or other similar purposes, is made by fixing
on the watch, or on the chain a pipe, ring clip slide or other conduits, through
which the chain passes.
Thus the watch will stay in any position the wearer may wish.
These pipes, rings, clips slides or conduits may be screwed or fixed to the back
or sides of the watch, or in fancy shapes pass through the decorative parts of the
watch, or a pipe or slide may glide up and down the chain so that the watch may
merely rest on the pipe or slide, being guided by rings in the sides or band of
watch to answer the same purpose giving and affording the same facility and
producing the same effect as is claimed in this application although independent
of one another.

page_text: Or it may be arranged by a clip fastened to a watch which grips the chain and
thus produces the same effect.
But all these various and different methods are fully covered and governed by
the title of this patent when alluded to as sliding on a chain.
We give one example of the several methods alluded to. See drawings.
A A A are ordinary long chains.
B B shew one of the conduits, through which A passes, thus enabling the
watch C to slide up and down at option of wearer.
The chain A alluded to is the ordinary long or muff chains used by ladies.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:-
To have invented an application to watches that will enable them to slide up
or down a chain and stay in any position the wearer may wish.
Also that the application of a conduit to a watch through which the chain
passes is a novelty, and further
That whether these conduits are applied to the watch or to the chain or partly
to both the idea and invention is the same and encompassed by our title.
Dated this 9th day of August 1898.
