UNITED STATES PATENT ()FFICE.
THOMAS F. GAYNOR, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
SOUVENlR-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 509,889, dated December 5, 1893.
Application filed March 24, 1393.
.To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, THOMAS F. GAYNOR, of Brooklyn, county of Kings, and State of New York,haveinvented a certain new and useful Improvement in Souvenir-Holders, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to that class of devices which are adapted to support coins, medals, or other articles, which it is desired to wear as personal ornaments, such as watch chain charms, pendants, or the like.
My invention consists in a split band of suitable material constructed to be removably engaged with a coin, medal, or similar article provided with improved means for clamping and suspending said band; also, in connection with the band, a holder or setting to receive a gem, a pebble, quartz or similar article which, it is desired to retain as a souvenir of a place visited or the like.
I will describe a souvenir holder embodying my invention and then point out the novel features thereof in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation of a souvenir holder embodying my invention and in which the coin or medal holder is shown as closed. Fig. 2, is a side elevation showing the coin or medal holder as open. Fig. 3, is a section through the line ac, w, of Fig. 1, and Fig. 4, illustrates a modification.
Similar characters of referenceindicatelike parts in all the figures of the drawings.
Referring to the drawings, 2 designates the coin or medal holder consisting of a band adapted to engage the periphery of a coin or medal and having the inwardly extended annular flanges 4 to engage the lateral edges of the coin or medal to prevent a lateral displacement of the coin or medal. The holder 2 has separable ends 6, 6. One of these ends has an outstanding stem portion 8, to the upper end of which is connected a ring 10, for attachment to a watch chain or the like. This ring 10 may swing relatively to the stem portion 8. I have shown it as extended loosely through a transverse hole in the stem portion. The stem portion 8, has a cut away portion 12, adapted to receive a short stem portion 14 on the opposite end of the holder 2. When the ends 6, 6, are brought together the stern portion 14 will enter the cut away portion 12,
- a smooth interior surface.
Serial N 4.67.424. (No model.)
and the two portions 8, 14,will formsubstantially a single stem.
To retain the holder in a closed position around a coin I employ a keeper consisting of a sleeve movable on and longitudinally of the stem portions 8, 14.
In Figs. 1, 2 and 3, I have shown a sleeve 16, having an internally threaded portion to engage an exterior thread of the stem portions 8, 14. When the sleeve 16, is moved over the stem portions the threads prevent an accidental movement of the sleeve therefrom.
In the example shown in Fig. 4, the stem portions 8, 14, have smooth exterior surfaces and in this case I employ a sleeve 18, having A coiled spring 20 abuts at one end against the sleeve 18 and at the other end against an annular shoulderor head 22 on the stem portion 8. The spring 20 serves to hold the sleeve 18, in engagement with the stem portions.
To prevent a longitudinal movement of one stem portion relatively to the other when the parts are placed together I provide one of the stem portions, here shown as the portion 14, with a dowel 24, adapted to engage in a socket or recess in the other stem portion.
In the examples shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, the ring 10 serves as a stop to prevent the sleeve 16, from being wholly detached from the stem and thus preventing its possible loss. In Fig. 4 the annular shoulder or head 22 serves to prevent the detachment of the sleeve 18.
IIeretofore the band has been suspended through the agency of the nut 16, to which the ring 10 has been directly attached, and in such construction the holder 2, and its coin have been liable to unscrew and become lost. The advantage of my present invention consists in that the band is fastened to the chain of the wearer permanently and with perfect security, and the removal or replacement of the coin does not require the separation of the holder from its suspending ring or device.
I will now describe the means for supporting a souvenir gem, pebble, quartz or like article. 26, designates the holder fora souvenir gem, pebble, quartz or the like. It may be attached to any part of the main holder and there may be any desired number of the holders 26. In Fig. 1 the holder is shown as attached tothe stem portion 8 and in Fig. 2 itis shown as attached to the band 2. The holder 26 is shown as a crown setting, having fingers 28 to engage and securely hold the gem, pebble or quartz. When itis desired to disclose more of the surface of a coin or medal, than is possible with a continuous flange as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, I may substitute inwardly turned prongs 30, as shown in Fig. 4. When the material is of light or suitable metal the prongs 30 may be bent outward to remove a coin without withdrawing the sleeve, if desired. I By the term souvenir I mean to indicate any article gathered or procured as a memento of a place or event, such for instance as coins, fragments of stone, shelis, pebbles or similar articles which may have been gathered at or procured at historic monuments, the sea shore or at the Columbiau Exposition, &c.
Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s
1. A souvenir holder comprising a divided band fastened at one end to the suspending device, the other end being free, and a suitable fastening device for retaining the adjacent ends of the band together.
2. A coin or medal holder comprising a band to engage the periphery of a coin or medal, a stem portion on one end of said band having a cut away portion, a stem portion on the opposite end of said band adapted to engage in the cut away portion of the first named stem portion, a sleeve for engaging over said two stem portions, means for holding the sleeve in engagement therewith and means for preventing the removal of the sleeve from the stem, substantially as specified.
3. A souvenir holder comprising aband having stem portions at itsends, a retainer comprising a sleeve having an internally threaded portion to engage a thread of the stem portions and a swinging ring adapted to prevent a removal of the sleeve from a stem portion, substantially as specified.
4. The combination with a main souvenir holder constructed to be removably attached to a souvenir of a support or holder for a gem or the like, substantially as specified.
5. The combination with a holder comprising a band to detachably engage around a coin or the like, of a support secured to said band and constructed to receive a gem, pebble, quartz or the like, substantially as specified.
6. A souvenir holder comprising a divided band, a movable sleeve on the band adapted to secure the band to a'souvenir, and means independent of the sleeve to prevent the entire removal of the sleeve, substantially as specified.
