Improvements in the Manufacture of Doll or Puppet Heads.
I Walter BRIERLEY of Halifax in the County of York Patent Agent, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF
DOLL OR PUPPET HEADS to be as follows:-
"
These doll or puppet-heads are manufactured by joining two, three, or more stamped
pieces of sheet metal, so shaped, that on being placed together they form the desired
head;
these stamped pieces may be fixed or joined together by soldering or in other
like way.
The doll or puppet heads so manufactured can remain in their natural state as metal
or they may be painted, enameled, japanned or covered with coloured wax, and form
by the resistance of the metal an infrangible and nearly indestructable doll or puppet
head.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Doll or Puppet Heads.
I, WALTER BRIERLEY of Halifax in the County of York, Patent Agent do hereby
declare the nature of this invention, which invention has been communicated to me
from abroad by Joseph Schon of Reichenbach, Silesia Germany, Brasier, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement:-
These doll or puppet heads are manufactured by joining two, three, or more stamped
pieces of sheet metal so shaped that on being placed together they form the desired
head, these stamped pieces may be fixed or joined together by soldering or in other
like way.
The doll or puppet heads so manufactured can remain in their natural state as metal,
or they may be painted, enameled, japanned, or covered with coloured wax, and form
by the resistance an infrangible and nearly indestructible doll, or puppet head.
Such being the nature and object of the said Invention, the following Specification
describes doll or puppet heads of a solider, more durable material and manufacture
to that known and employed hitherto.
Notwithstanding the durability of such doll or puppet heads, the price of them will
not become higher as that of such articles heretofore made.
These puppet heads are manufactured by joining two, three, or more pieces of sheet
metal stamped to the required form, being afterwards fixed together producing the
desired head.
These stamped pieces may be fixed or joined together in any way, such as soldered,
etcetera.
The doll or puppet heads so manufactured can remain in their natural state as metal,
or they can be painted enameled, japanned, or covered with colour, and form by the
resistance of the employed metal an infrangible, and nearly indestructible puppet
head.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim and desire
to secure by Letters Patent is,
A doll or puppet head manufactured by joining two, three, or more stamped pieces
of sheet metal forming the head, which are then fixed together by soldering, or in any
other convenient manner substantially as described.
Dated this 28th day of February 1887.
