SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 740,915, dated October 6, 1903.

Application filed m 18, 1902.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILSON E. PORTER, of the city and county of New Haven, Stateof Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Pendants for Pedometers and Similar Articles, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, which form a part thereof, and in Figure 1v represents a front elevation of a pendant embodying my invention attached to a pedometer-case; Fig. 2, a similar View of the pendant alone; Fig. 3, a side edge View of the pendant; and Fig. 4, a view of the fiat blank from which the pendant is formed.

In all figures similar letters of reference represent like parts.

This invention relates to pendants for pcdomet'ers, and has for its object the production of a novel, efficient, and simple pendant whereby the pedometer may be supported and attached to the garment of the person carrying it.

To this end the invention consists of a pendant stamped from a single blank of sheet metal, one end of which is bifurcated, so that the tines are curved outward and then inward, the other end of which is formed of a long tongue doubled on itself in a plane at right angles to that of the pendant.

Referring to the drawings for a more particular description, the parts designated by the letter A represent the case of the pedometer or similar article, and B its stem.

0 is the pendant, stamped from a single blank of sheet metal, which is shown in Fig. 4, so that one end is bifurcated, the tines D extending outward and then inward toward Serial No. 116,119. (No model.)

each other, forming the greater portion'of the circumference of a loop or ring, and the other end forming a long tongue E. The

tongue E is bent over at F in a plane at right.

angles to the plane of -the pendant, as shown more particularly in Fig. 3, thereby forming a hook for attachment to the garment of the wearer as may be desired.

The extreme ends of the tinesD areadapted to fit into suitable sockets in the stem B of the pedometer, and shoulders H may be provided to prevent the ends G from working out of the sockets.

Having now described my'inventiou, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Pattending toward each other in the same plane as the body portion, and the other end doubled on itself parallel to the plane of the main portion, substantially as described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand on this 12th day of July, 1902.

WILSON E. PORTER.
