bow 5 enter lateral openings 23, formed in the
sides of the part 4 at diametrically opposite
points, and annular grooves 24 are provided
in the end portions of the bow adjacent to their
5 extremities and receive the inner ends of the
screws, pins, or fastenings 22, whereby the
bow is retained in position against accidental
displacement. The openings provided in the
movable part 4 of the pendant intersect with
To the lateral openings 23, thereby admitting of
a portion of the screws or pins 22 projecting
into the lateral openings 23, whereby an in-
terlocking of the parts 22 and 5 is had. The
inner end of the part 4 is recessed to receive
15 the reduced end of the boss 3, whereby a close
joint is had between the parts 3 and 4, and
the space between their meeting faces is nor-
mally closed. The hollow shank 10 is exter-
nally threaded and screws into the longitudi-
20 nal bore of the boss, and the lug or project-
ing part 15, provided at its inner end, is dis-
posed so as to engage with the lateral exten-
sion 14 upon turning the part 4, whereby the
mechanism is thrown into gear with the idler
25 2 to admit of the hands being set when re-
quired.
The movable part 4 of the pendant has a
limited movement to admit of the niechan-
ism being thrown into gear for setting the
3o hands, and in order to prevent the teeth of
the gears 2 and 10 from binding the turning
of the part 4 is limited the instant the gears
2 and 10 intermesh. This result is attained
by properly adjusting the screws 22, so that
35 their inner ends will engage with the bottom
of the groove 21 the moment the toothed por-
tions of the parts 2 and 10 intermesh, thereby
preventing the further turning of the part 4.
The sides of the screws 22 engage frictionally
40 with the walls of the groove 21 to prevent a
too-free turning of the part 4 except at the
will of the user, whereby the yoke will not
be accidentally turned upon its pivotal sup-
port to throw the mechanism into engage-
45 meant with the idler 2 and move the hands
after the watch has been properly timed.
Having thus described the invention, what
is claimed as new is-
1. In a pendant-set watch, the combination
5o with the pendant comprising a fixed and a
movable part, the latter having screw-thread
connection with the fixed part and provided
with a lug at its inner end disposed eccentric-
ally to its axis, ayoke bearing a train of gear-
55 ing to be brought into engagement with either
the winding or the setting mechanism, and
having an arm provided with a lateral exten-sion to be engaged by the lug of the movable
part of the pendant, and means having ad-
justable connection with and applied to the 6o
movable part of the pendant to come in con-
tact with the fixed part of the said pendant
and limit the turning and the longitudinal
movement of the said fixed part of the pend-
ant and prevent the crowding of the toothed 65
portions of the cooperating gears when turn-
ing the yoke to throw the train of gearing
carried thereby into meshing relation with
the winding or setting nmechanisin, substan-
tially as set forth. 70
2. In a pendant-set watch, the combination
with a yoke bearing a train of gearing to in-
termesh with the winding and setting mech-
anisms, of a movable pai t forming a portion
of the pendant, and having screw-threaded 75
connection with the other part, and having a
lug or projection to be brought into engage-
ment with a portion of the yoke for turning
itupon its pivotal support, and ascrew mount-
ed in a longitudinal opening of the movable 8o
part of the pendant and adapted to engage
with the inner or fixed part of the pendant
to limit the turning of the movable part, sub-
stantially as set forth for the purpose de-
scribed. 85
3. In combination, a yoke bearing a train
of gearing to be thrown into engagement with
the winding and setting mechanisms, a pend-
ant coipising a fixed boss and a movable
part, the latter having a hollow shiaik mak- 90
ing screw-thread connection with a bore of
the boss, and having a lug or projection at
its inner end to engage with the yoke for
moving the latter, a stem mounted in the
pendant for operating the winding and set- 95
ting mechanisms, a bow having its end por-
tions annularly grooved and entering open-
ings in the sides of the pendant, and sci ews
longitudinally mounted in the movable part
of the pendant and interlocking with the end ice
portions of the bow, and adapted to engage
at their inner ends with the boss to limit the
relative turning of the movable part of the
pendant, and constructed to prevent acci-
dental turning thereof, substantially in the 105
manner set forth for the purpose specified.
In testimony that we claim the foregoing as
our own we have hereto affixed our signatures
in the presence of two witnesses.
