PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Pendants for Keyless and other Watches.
I, FREDERICK LLEWELLYN TURNER of 8 Mott Street Birmingham in the County
of Warwick, Watch Case Maker do hereby declare the nature of this invention to bo
as follows:-
My invention has for its object to form a rigid and secure attachment for the
bow applied to Keyless and other watch pendants, and to prevent the pendant from
being slit or having its sides cut open in order to receive the bow. I am enabled to
make the pendant of a composition metal without removing the outer coat or
destroying the surface by this method of attaching the bow without cutting the
pendant open.
In carrying my invention into effect I form at each side of the pendant a chamfered
hole, and these holes allowing the ends of the bow to pass through.
The ends of the bow I form with a little suitably forined undercut or neck and I
pass the ends through the pendant holes until these necks are quite within the inner
portion of the pendant and away from the sides thereof The inner portion of the
pendant I scrow or tap to receive a screwed plug having its ends chamfered or suitably
shaped to hit into and rest upon the necks or undercuts of the bow ends, and thus to
keep them firmly in position within the pendant. I do not pierce the pendant in
any way with openings requiring to be plugged up, but simply make the two holes for
the end of the bow to pass through, these ends being of the same diameter as the
other portion of the bow.
I do not limit the application of my invention to Keyless watches but apply it to
other watches when a very secure attachment for the bow is desired.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION
Improvements in Pendants for Keyless and other Watches
I, FREDERICK LLEWELLYN TURNER of 8 Mott Street, Birmingham, in the County
of Warwick, Watch Case Maker, 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 has for its object to form a rigid and secure attachment for the
bow applied to Keyless and other watch pendants, and to prevent the pendant from
being slit or having its sides cut open in order to receive the bow.
I am enabled to make the pendant of a composition metal without removing the
outer coat or destroying the surface by this methed of attaching the bow without
cutting the pendant open
In carrying my invention into effect I form at each side of the pendant a
chamfered hole, and these holes allowing the ends of the bow to pass through. The
ends of the bow I form with a little suitably formed undercut or neck and I pass
the ends through the pendant-holes until theso nechs are quite within the inner
portion of the pendant and away from the sides thereof. The inner portion of the
pendant I screw or tap to receive a screwed plug having its ends chamfered or
suitably shaped to fit into and rest upon the necks or undercuts of the bow ends,
and thus to keep them firmly in position within the pendant I do not pierce the
pendant in any way with openings requiring to be plugged up, but simply make

page_text: the two holes for the ends of the bow to pass through, these ends being of the same
diameter as the other portion of the bow.
I do not limit the application of my invention to Keyless watches but apply it
to other watches when a very secure attachment for the bow is desired.
And in order that my invention and the manner of performing the same may
be properly understood and readily carried into effect, I append hereunto one sheet
of explantory drawings to be hereinafter referred to
Fig. 1 is an elevation of my bow or watch pendant ring having its ends cut or
recessed down in the form of necks as shown at B.
Fig. 2 1s a sectional elevation of my improved ferrule or screwed cap which
enters the pendant at C and serves to secure the ends of the bow in position by
bearing down upon the shoulders B B The top portion or upper surface of the
screwed cap I cut with a recess D to admit of a screw driver
Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation of my improved pendant having the internal part
of same screwed at (to suit the screw od portion of the cap or collar D, the holes bb
within the pendant admit of the ends B B of the bow passing freely through so
that the bottom portion of the screwed collar may rest upon the upper end of the
recessed or neck portion of the bow A and thus admit of a pressure being placed
upon the ends to keep them in position and also to prevent their too free or easy
movement.
Fig. 4 is an elevation of my improved pendant E with the bow A attached
ready for securing in any ordinary manner to a watch case.
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:
1st The construction and combination of a pendant having a bow or ring which
18 held in position by means of a screw cap fitting the internal portion of the
pendant while the ends of the cap rest upon recessed or necked ends of the bow,
substantially as herein before described and as illustrated in the accompanying
drawing.
2nd. The construction of a screwed cap or fastening for securing the bow in position
with the pendant, substantially as hereinbefore described.
