Improvements in Ornamenting or Embellishing Metallic Fenders,
Fire Irons, Fire Dogs, Bedsteads, Cots, and other articles of a
like manufacture.
We, JAMES TURNER and FREDERICK SIMEON TURNER, trading as S. F. Turner
of Wellington Works, Dudley, in the County of Worcester, Manufacturers do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the ornamenting or embellishing of metal articles or
goods such for example as fenders, fire irons, or brasses, fire dogs, bedsteads, cots
and other metallic articles of like manufacture, as hereinafter described.
The said ornamenting or adorning of the said articles consists in introducing or
combining with, or with parts of, the saine, agate or other semi-pellucid uncrystal-
lized quartz, although other materials analagous to agate may be employed.
When agate, stone, or like semi-pellucid quartz is employed, intermixed with
bright or other metal work, the delicate and various tints, either arranged in strips
or bands, or blended in clouds, give unto the said articles, considerable richness,
grace and beauty.
In carrying out one form of our invention, in connection with metallic fenders,
we provide or fit the same or parts of the same with agate decorations, and which
decorations or ornaments, may be in the form of pillars, spindles, mounts, terminal
ornaments or ends; or the curb rail may be composed of agate sections.
Thus, in applying agate spindles, pillars or uprights, we pierce the axes or
middles of the same with holes, wherethrough metallic affixing or fitting rods
pass, for supporting them and taking the strain off the agate, in making their
connections.
In spindles or pillars, we..prefer that the same should be, made in sections, to
facilitate the drilling of the holes through them, and placing if desired, interposed
metal junctions, to break up a line of the said agate, in giving beauty and effect.
The said pillars or spindles may be built up of a series of agate sections, and
threaded upon a metallic core or rod, with metal or other substances, such as
artificial gem-like material, interposed between them.
The caps or terminal mounts may be fitted with rods, or may have, attachment
bases, for the taking of a screw or the like, for the connecting of the same to the
article as aforesaid, and further, where the curb rail is adorned, then we propose to
thread sections of the said agate upon a base rod, with or without interposed sections
of other material...
In the settings, we propose to form the recesses with claw or cup edges, which
take over the extreme boundary parts of the said set material, hence the affixing of
them in position.
In attaching rosettes formed from agate, alone or mixed with metal, these are
preferably affixed by a pin passed through their middles.
In carrying out our invention in connection with fire brasses, we apply to the
handle part, agate, and also agate settings within the bow, and a cap over the joint,
and we also form the feet or holding parts of agate, shaped as may be desired, and
fitted by metal attachments or rods, passed through, or partly through them.

The agate mountings, fittings or adornments, may be combined with metallic or
other parts.
The settings of the agate, may, if desired, be made separate from the artic
themselves.

In carrying out,our, invention in connection with fire-dogs, we form the. pillars

page_text: partly or wholly of agate, spindled through their middles, and with the cross rests
of them, made wholly or partly of agate, or agate parts, strung, attached or
otherwise connected to the parts of the article requiring to be embellished or
ornamented.
The base may be set with agate stones, and so may other parts, and interminged
with the agate stones, artificial gems may be employed.
In the application of our invention to bedsteads or cot end frames, we form the
pillars, spindles, rails and like small parts of agate, alone or in combination with
metal or other material.
Thus, in the spindles we drill axial holes through them, or sections of them, and
. fit them with metal rods for their attachment to the article in question.
Likewise do we proceed in respect to the pillars, and also to the mounts, but we
prefer in many cases, to blend with the said agate, bright metallic or other parts,
although the said parts may be entirely of agate, uncrystallized quartz, or like
'semi-pellucid material.
**Instead of employing uncrystallized quartz, crystallized quartz or other materials,
plain or decorated upon their surfaces may be employed.
The application of our invention to other articles, differs in no essential respect
from its application to those already enumerated.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Ornamenting or Embellishing Metallic Fenders,
Fire Irons, Fire Dogs, Bedsteads, Cots, and other articles of a
like manufacture.
We JAMES TURNER, and FREDERICK SIMEON TURNER, trading as S. F. Turner,
'of Wellington Works, Dudley in the County of Worcester, Manufacturers, 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 the ornamenting or embellishing of metal articles or
goods, such for example as fenders, fire irons or brasses, fire dogs, bedsteads, cots
and other metallic articles of like manufacture, as hereinafter described.
The said ornamenting or adorning of the said articles, consists in introducing or
combining with, or with parts of the same, agate or other semi-pellucid uncrystallized
quartz, although other materials analagous to agate may be employed.
When agate, stone or like semi-pellucid quartz is employed, intermixed with
bright or other metal work, the delicate and various tints, either arranged in stripes
or bands, or blended in clouds, give unto the said articles considerable richness,
grace, and beauty.
In carrying out one form of our invention, in connection with metallic fenders,
we provide or fit the same, or parts of the same, with agate decorations, and which
decorations or adornments may be in the form of pillars, spindles, mounts, terminal
ornaments or ends, or the curb rail may be composed of agate sections.
Thus, in applying agate spindles, pillars, or uprights, we pierce the axes or
middles of the same with holes, wherethrough metallic affixing or fitting rods
pass, for supporting them, and taking the strain off the agate; in making their
connections.
•
In spindles or pillars, we prefer that the same should be made in sections, to
facilitate the drilling of the holes through them, and placing if desired, interposed
metal junctions, to break up a line of the said agate, in giving beauty and effect.

page_text: The said pillars or spindles may be built up of a series of agate sections, and
threaded upon a metallic core or rod, with metal or other substances, such as
artificial gem-like material, interposed between them.
The caps or terminal mounts may be fitted with rods, or may have attachment
bases, for the taking of a screw or the like, for the connecting of the same to the
article as aforesaid, and further, where the curb rail is adorned, then we propose to
thread sections of the said agate upon a base rod, with or without interposed sections
of other material.
In the settings, we propose to form the recesses with claw or cup edges, which
take over the extreme boundary parts of the said set materials, hence the affixing
of them in position.
In attaching rosettes formed from agate, alone or mixed with metal, these are
preferably affixed by a pin passed through their middles.
In carrying out our invention in connection with fire brasses, we apply to the
handle part, agate, and also agate settings within the bow, and a cap over the joint,
and we also form the feet or holding parts, of agate, shaped as may be desired, and
fitted by metal attachments or rods, passed through, or partly through them.
The agate mountings, fittings or adornments may be combined with metallic or
other parts.
The settings of the agate may, if desired, be made separate from the articles
themselves.
In carrying out our invention in connection with fire dogs, we form the pillars
partly or wholly of agate, spindled through their middles, and with the cross rests
of them made wholly or partly of agate, or agate parts strung, attached, or
otherwise connected to the parts of the article requiring to be embellished or
ornamented.
The base may be set with agate stones, and so may other parts, and intermingled
with the agate stones, artificial gems may be employed.
In the application of our invention to bedstead or cot end frames, we form the
pillars, spindles, rails and like small parts of agate, alone or in combination with
metal, or other material.
Thus in the spindles, we drill axial holes through then, or sections of them, and
fit them with metal rods for their attachment to the article in question.
Likewise do we proceed in respect to the pillars, and also to the mounts, but we
prefer in many cases, to blend with the said agate, bright metallic or other parts,
although the said parts may be entirely of agate, uncrystallized quartz, or like
semi-pellucid material.
Instead of employing uncrystallized quartz, crystalline quartz, or other materials,
plain or decorated upon their surfaces, may be employed.
The application of our invention to other articles, differs in no essential respect
from its application to those already enumerated.
