PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with the Ornamentation of Metallio
Bedsteads.
I, WILLIAM HARRY DAVIS, of Anchor Works, Macdonald Street, in the City
of Birmingham, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows :)-
This invention relates to improvements in or connected with the ornamentation
of metallic bedsteads, and refers more particularly to panel ornamentation, con-
sisting of encaustic tiles, glass, wood, or other suitable material, and consists
in improved means whereby such panels are encased or mounted. Such mount
consists of a channel or gutter-like surrounding into which the panel is place.l,
such channelling being in one, two, or more pieces, according to the shape of the
panel. As applied for instance to a square panel, four of such channels are used,
and a framing provided upon the bedstead to accommodate it and having two or
more pins cast therein (or similar contrivance) so that corner mounts and screw
knobs may be used to secure the same and form part of the ornamentation. Such
channelling would thus have the appearance of a tube surrounding the panel and
contribute itself to the ornamentation of the whole. As before intimated the
panels may be of any suitable material but more particularly it is intended to
employ encaustic or enamelled tiles two of which may be used back to back, or
one of such with a backing of other material.

Improvements in or connected with the Ornamentation of Metallic
Bedsteads.
I, WILLIAM HARRY DAVIS, of Anchor Works, Macdonald Street, in the City
of Birmingham, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
-
This invention relates to improvements in or connected with the ornamentation
of metallic bedsteads, and refers more particularly to panel ornamentation, con-
sisting of encaustic tiles, glass, wood, or other suitable material, and consists
in improved means whereby such panels are encased or mounted.
Such mount consists of a channel or gutter-like surrounding, in which the

page_text: panel is placed, such channelling being in one, two, or more pieces according to
the shape of the panel.
As applied for instance to a square panel four of such channels are used, and
a framing provided upon the bedstead to accommodate it, and having two or more
pins cast therein (or similar contrivance) so that corner mounts and screw knobs
may be used to secure the same, and form part of the ornamentation. Such
channelling would thus have the appearance of a tube surrounding the panel,
and contribute itself to the ornamentation of the whole.
As before intimated, the panels may be of any suitable material, but more
particularly it is intended to employ encaustic or enamelled tiles, two of which
may be used back to back, or one of such with a backing of other material.
In order to more clearly explain this my invention, I have appended hereunto
an illustrative drawing upon which are figures and numbers of reference, similar
numbers referring throughout the several views to the same thing or part.
Fig. 1, shows a portion of a bedstead end, upon which this my invention is
carried out.
Fig. 2, shows a sectional view of my invention on line A-B, and Fig. 3, a
similar sectional view on line C-D.
Fig. 4, shows an enlarged sectional view of the channel or gutter herein
referred to.
6, is the bedstead end, and upon which are formed chills at 7, 7, having set
back parts S, upon which may rest the ornamental parts. 9, is the panel or
panels which are held in the surrounding metallic channels 10, four of which
surround the square panel shown. In the chills 7, pins 11, are cast, so that
when the panels and their encasing channels are placed in the chills, and the
ornamental mounts 12, are passed thereon, the whole may be secured by screw
knob 13,
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:—
1. Ornamenting metallic bedsteads by the combined means of panels encased
in metallic channels 10, and secured in set back chills, by pins and mounts, all
as set forth and shown on the drawings.
