| Abstract: |
A combination buckle and receptacle which is adapted to be attached at will either to an expansion wrist-watch band or to a non-expansible wrist-watch band. The device is made of two parts which can be removably secured to each other: one part is the receptacle part and has at both ends a pair of lugs provided with pin receiving holes for attaching the ends of two expansible watch band sections; the other part is a buckle part which is removably secured to the receptacle part underneath the same and to secure thereto and to form a passage for one-half band section of a non-expansible wrist-watch band. Preferably, the fastening means for adjustably securing one-half band section consists of a screw with an elastic pad adapted to tighten the half-band against the buckle part. The receptacle is closed in watertight manner and can contain a combination compass and thermometer, medicine pills, small miscellaneous items, an identification tab, photographs and the like.
