1 HARRY BARRETT 2, Brecknock Road Camden Road London, N. Jeweller do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for MOUNTING COINS AND OTHER ARTICLES
to be as follows:-
:-
An elastic or expanding bezel or band of metal with turned over edges. The band
is cut through at the top so that it may be opened sufficiently to admit of the coin,
stone compass or other article being placed within the circle." At the top where the
band is divided on one end there is a ring fixed parallel with the band. On the other
end of the band two rings are fixed a little apart so that when the two ends of the
band are brought together the three rings are in the same line.
A hollow rivet or eyelet is then passed through the three rings thereby holding
the whole firmly together, the coin or other article being held securely by the turned
over edges of the band.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 represents a complete mount in its closed
position Fig. 2 au open mount with the rivet or eyelet D separately shown and Fig. 3
is a perspective view of an open mount showing the band A the turned over edges B
and the three rings C. C. C. the same letters of reference being marked in the
different figures.

page_text: I, HARRY BARRETT of 2 Brecknock Road, Camden Road, London, N. Jeweller
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 a mount which may be used for holding coins, stones
compasses and other articles.
To clearly explain my invention reference is made to the accompanying drawings
in which:
Fig. 1 is a view of the mount when open for the reception of a coin or the like.
Fig. 2 is a view of same when closed."
Fig. 3 shows the rivet employed for holding the mount in the closed position, and―
Fig. 4 is a section on the linea a of Fig. 2.
A, represents an elastic or expanding bezel or band of metal, the rim or edge of
which is turned over as shown in Fig. 4 for the purpose of holding the coin or other
article. The band is cut through at the top, the spring of the metal keeping the ends
apart, as shown in Fig. 1, so that the coin or other article may be inserted therein.
One end of the band where it is divided carries a ring a, and the other end two
rings bb secured a little apart so that when the coin is in place and the two ends of
the band are brought together, the three rings are in the same line. A hollow rivet
or eyelet c as shown in Fig. 3 is then passed through the three rings, thereby holding
the whole firmly together. If this rivet is made of a sufficiently soft metal it may be
turned or rivetted over by any inexperienced person with the back of a penknife blade
or other simple tool.
The ring or bezel may be ornamented to any desired extent. The series of knobs
or balls as shown, form, an effective set off to the contents of same.
.
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
The improved mount for coins, stones, compasses, and other articles, substantially
as described and shown in the accompanying drawings.
