PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Jewellery.
We, HENRY LEWIS, JAMES MALSCHINGER, and FREDERIC BARBERIS, all of
172 New Bond Street in the County of Middlesex, Jewellers, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
According to this invention articles of jewellery such as brooches, head
ornaments and the like are formed of a number of plates, leaves or scrolls or other
ornaments whose relative positions the one to the other can be altered so that
the appearance of the article can be varied at pleasure.
For this purpose according to one arrangement the plates, leaves, scrolls or other
ornaments or stems fastened to them are pivotted together so that they can be
turned about the pivot to assume different positions in the plane of rotation.
Pins or other fastenings are employed to connect them together in their various
positions.
In addition to moving the plates, leaves or scrolls in a single plane I sometimes
provide them with hinges, so that some of them may be turned into different planes,
I also do this when they have upon them raised or embossed designs for the
purpose of enabling them to pass over each other in turning about the pivot.
According to another arrangement especially suitable to head ornaments, the
plates, leaves, scrolls or other ornaments are provided with eyes through which a
semi-circular or other shaped bar of metal is passed, and the plates, leaves, scrolls
or other ornaments (or if they touch the two outside ones) carry set screws to fix
them in any desired position along the bar.
