Spring bar assembly

Claim 1

A spring bar assembly for watches comprising: a tubular body having inwardly extending edges at both ends, a member consisting of a resilient mass of substantially cylindrical configuration mounted within the tubular body, said member being of a smaller diameter than the tubular body to permit expansion thereof when said resilient member is placed under compression, and the resilient member comprising a hollow slug of resilient material which is dimensionally stable and corrosion resistant, and, a pin slideably mounted and retained within each end of the tubular body by the inwardly extending edges, said pins abutting against opposite faces of the resilient member, and, comprising an enlarged rear portion slideably engaging the walls of the tubular body and contacting the resilient member, an intermediate portion of lesser diameter forming a ledge with the rear portion to engage the inwardly extending edges of the tubular body in order to retain the pins within the assEmbly in an un-compressed state, and an outer portion of still smaller diameter forming a ledge with the intermediate member, said outer portion being designed to engage the bezel lugs in a watch.
