ABSTRACT:
This disclosure is directed to expansible linkages for expansible wrist watch bracelets, identification bracelets and similar articles which permit the retail jeweler to quickly and easily adjust the length of a bracelet to fit different size wrists of customers.
The bracelet includes two sections of expansible linkages of each of which has a row of top links, a row of bottom links, means interconnecting the links of each row with the links of the other row to provide longitudinal displacement of the links relative to each other from contracted to expanded positions and vice versa. A channel shaped outer member has a series of aligned perforations extending through its side walls. First spring pin means connected to one end of one of the expansible sections has the outer ends of its trunions extending into a first selected pair of the aligned perforations. Second spring pin means connected to one end of the other expansible section has the outer ends of its trunions extending into a second selected pair of the aligned perforations. A one-piece inner member having a bottom wall and a pair of spaced upwardly extending side members is detachably connected between the side walls of the outer member thereby to enclose the ends of the expansible linkage sections and the spring pin means in such a manner that the outer ends of the trunions of the spring pin means may be depressed from the exteriors of the side walls of the channel shaped outer member to adjust the length of the bracelet.
