of same address, his Assistant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to he
as follows:
Upon a wooden board of ornamental shape with loop to hang against the wall is
fixed at the bottom by means of two hinges a smaller piece of wood of horse-shoe
shape with the prongs outwards, to shut and open in rectangular direction in the
shape of a bracket. In a vertical slot cut out in the middle of the main board is
adjusted a wooden slide (which can be fixed in any position by a screw with knurled
head) and fixed to the same by hinges is a finger shaped piece of wood, which opens
and shuts in the same manner as the horse-shoe-shaped lower piece and is moveable
upon the slide, to which it is fixed, either towards or away from the said horse shoe
shaped piece in a parallel manner as the case may be, to hold in position-between
the upper finger shaped wood piece and the 2 prongs of the lower horse shoe shaped
wood piece-the movement of a clock undergoing the process of timing.
To give the three wood prongs a better hold upon the clock movement, there is
inserted into each of them a piece of brass having rack like teeth standing
upright.
The two hinged pieces can be shut up close upon the main board, the brass teeth
entering into suitable slits made into the said board to receive them and a spring
locking arrangement holds them in position when closed.
Two thumb screws working in a brass lap on each side of the main board and
screwing against the wall enable the regulation of the perpendicular position of
the whole stand.
Dated this Thirtieth day of October 1894.

his Assistant 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 :-
Upon a wooden board of ornamental shape with loop to hang against the wall is
hinged at the bottom a smaller piece of wood like a bracket (A) cut out in horse
shoe shape. In a vertical slot cut out in the middle of the mainboard is adjusted
a wooden slide (B) which can be fixed in any position by a screw with knurled
head (C) and hinged to the slide is a finger shaped piece of wood (D) which by

page_text: means of the slide can be moved either towards or away-as the case may be-
from the lower bracket like hinged piece in a parallel manner, to hold in position
between the hinged pieces a clock movement undergoing the process of timing.
To give a better hold upon the clock movement, there is inserted into the end of
each of the stays a piece of metal having rack like teeth. The hinged pieces can
be turned down flush with the mainboard, the metal teeth entering into suitable
slits made into the said board to receive them. A spring locking arrangement (E)
holds the bracket-like piece in position when closed. Two adjusting screws (F)
working in a projecting plate on each side of the mainboard and screwing against
the wall, enable the perpendicular position of the clock movement to be adjusted.
Having now described the improved clock timing stand and its performance we
declare our invention to consist in the following
The combination of the top finger shaped piece being hinged to--and moveable
with a slide working in a slot cut out in the mainboard of the stand.
The arrangement of the screw on the slide by which the latter can be fixed in
any position.
The two adjusting screws on both sides of the main board, by which the perpen-
dicular position of the clock movement can be adjusted.
The spring locking arrangement to hold in position the bracket like hinged piece
when closed.
The combination of the slide moving in a slot cut out in the main board and
allowing the hinged pieces to be turned down flush upon the main board the
projecting metal teeth on these pieces entering into suitable slits provided for them,
thus allowing the stand to fold up completely.
Dated this Thirtieth day of July 1895.
