Improvements in the Manufacture of Spindles, Knobs or Mounts of
Fenders, Bedsteads and other Furniture.
I, EDWIN TAYLOR, of 1, Alfred Street, Warstone Lane, Birmingham, in the
County of Warwick, Stamper and Piercer, do hereby declare the nature of my
said invention to be as follows:
My invention has for its object improvements in the manufacture of spindles,
knobs or mounts of fenders, bedsteads and other furniture which I make in a very
simple and expeditious manner.
In carrying my invention into practice I stamp or press the various mounts,
spindles, knobs, supports, etc., used for bedsteads, fenders, and other furniture
from sheet brass, copper or other metal with a lining of iron or other metal which
may be applied before stamping or bending or afterwards. These stampings
I make in sections or halves and where they are united together flanges are
formed under the stamp or press and the halves or sections are united together by
brazing, soldering, or sweating. I some cases I may form these mounts or knobs
from one piece of sheet metal stamped or pressed to the required shape and then
bent over at the centre of its length so that the top portion is solid and the lower
portions only are soldered, brazed, or sweated together on to the top of the iron
or other metal lining.

I, EDWIN TAYLOR, late of 1, Alfred Street, Warstone Lane, of Pemberton Street,
Warstone Lane, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Stamper and Piercer,
do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same
is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:―
My invention has for its object improvements in the manufacture of spindles,
knobs or mounts of fenders bedsteads and other furniture which I make in a very
simple and expeditious manner.
In carrying my invention into practice I stamp or press the various mounts,
spindles knobs, fender supports etc. used for bedsteads fenders and other furniture,

may be applied before stamping or bending or afterwards. These stampings
I make in sections or halves and where they are united together flanges are
formed under the stamp or press and the halves or sections are united together by
brazing, soldering or sweating. In some cases I may form these mounts or knobs
from one piece of sheet metal stamped or pressed to the required shape and then
bent over at the centre of its length so that the top portion is solid and the lower
portions only are soldered, brazed or sweated together onto the top of the iron
or other metal lining.
In order that my invention may be more clearly understood and easily carried
into practical effect I have appended hereunto a double sized sheet of drawings
upon which I have illustrated examples of my improvements.
.
"Figure 1 shews the two parts from which I construct one form of my knobs, or
mounts.
Figure 2 is a similar view to Figure 1 shewing the parts fixed together.
Figure 3 is a part sectional view of another method of connecting the two parts
together.
Figure 4 is a part sectional elevation shewing one method of forming a knob
or mount in three parts.
Figure 5 is a similar knob or mount as shewn at Figure 4 but formed in two
parts only.
Figures 6, 7 & 8 shew knobs or mounts formed in two parts of an ornamental
shape:
Figure 9 shews a knob or mount formed out of one piece.
In carrying my invention into practice I press or stamp the parts A and B
whether for knobs mounts supports &c. for bedsteads and other furniture from
iron or other metal with the thin covering D. of brass, copper or other metal as
shown at Figures 1 3 and 4 either applied before stamping or bending or after-
wards. These parts may be formed with the flanges a¹ and 61 and are united
together by brazing, soldering or sweating. Or instead of forming external
flanges on the part A and B I may form the part B with the rabbeted part b³
over and onto which the edge of the part A fits and is united thereto by brazing
soldering or sweating as shewn at Figure 3. In the method as shewn, at Figure 4
I form the mount or knob in three parts E F and H. The lower part which forms
the socket is made in one piece and the top portion is made in two parts E and F
and these parts are rabbeted at their lower edges so as to fit into and flush with
the part H. The part F is also rabbeted where it is united to the part E. These
parts are united together by brazing, soldering or sweating in the same manner
as at Figure 3. At Figure 5 I have shewn my mount or knob formed in two
parts J and J₁ the lower part J¹ which forms the socket having its upper edge
which is united by brazing, soldering or sweating to the part J formed ornamental.
In the method as shewn at Figures 6 and 7 I have formed my knob or mount
in two parts the edges of which are formed ornamental and these parts are
united together at their edges by_soldering, brazing or sweating. At Figure 9
I have shewn my knob or mount K formed from one piece of metal bent over at
the centre of its length so that the top portion is solid the flanges extending
only down the lower portion this portion only being brazed soldered or sweated.
A screw nut may be enclosed at the bottom of these knobs or mounts when
brazing, soldering or sweating the parts together so as to prevent the same from
turning or coming loose. Or in place of the screw nut a washer or screw or
rivet or peg may be used. I may also place between the flanges before the parts
are brazed soldered or sweated together copper, wire or other metal, or wood,
cane textile material, rubber or composition so as to make a solid junction. The
method as shewn at Figure 10 illustrates an example of my mode of making a
spindle mount which may be of various designs. This mount L is formed in
two parts, or it may be formed in more than two parts, with flanges formed on
the edges and which flanges are soldered brazed or sweated together.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:
CLAIMS.
First: The improvements in the manufacture of spindles knobs or mounts of
fenders, bedsteads and other furniture consisting essentially in forming them with
a lining in one two or more parts and an outer covering such as D brazed, soldered,
or sweated together in the manner substantially as hereinbefore described and as
shewn upon the accompanying sheet of drawings.
Second-Forming knobs mounts or spindles with a lining in two parts such
as A and B having flanges such as a¹ and 6' and an outer covering such as D)
and brazing soldering or sweating the same together in the manner as herein set
forth and as shewn at Figures 12 and 8.
·
Third Forming knobs, mounts or spindles with a lining in two or more parts
and an outer covering such as D, which parts are connected together by brazing
soldering or sweating in the manner substantially as herein set forth and as shewn
at Figures 3, 4 and 5.
Fourth Forming knobs, mounts or spindles with a lining in two or more
parts and an outer covering such as D and brazing soldering or sweating the same
together in the manner substantially as herein set forth and as shewn at Figures 6
and 7.
Fifth Forming knobs, mounts or spindles with a lining in one piece of metal
with an outer covering such as D also in one piece of metal the lower ends being
connected together by brazing, soldering or sweating in the manner substantially,
as herein set forth and as shewn at Figure 9.
Sixth-Spindles, knobs or mounts formed with a lining in two or more parts
and an outer covering of brass, copper or other suitable metal, the said parts
being connected together by brazing, soldering or sweating or the like in the
manner substantially as he rein set forth and as shewn upon the drawings.
