Improvements relating to Mirror and like Fittings for Adjustment
purposes.
I, CAESAR HASS, of 261, Burdett Road, Limehouse, London, Director, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for object, so arranging mirror, shop and like fittings that,
say, a mirror or any article can be rigidly set at any desired angle from the
vertical or other line when moved by hand.
The invention consists of a cup or socket plate securable by screw or pin to a
swing or other bracket. The cup or socket contains a helical spring on which
a plug has free play yet held in contact by step piece. This plug has a curved
inner face for the reception of a sphere or round ended cone on the end of an
attachment plate affixable to, say, a mirror frame, or frame on which an article
for show purposes can be supported. The sphere or round ended cone is encircled
by a screw ferrule or collar which engages over a threaded end of the spring con-
tained cup or socket and according to the pressure exerted in screwing up the
ferrule so the spring becomes compressed and the sphere or wound ended cone
made as tight as is necessary to hold the mirror in the position to which it has
been moved or turned.

Improvements relating to Mirror and like Fittings for Adjustment
purposes.
I, CAESAR HASS, of 261, Burdett Road, Limehouse, London, Director, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention has for object, so arranging mirror, shop, and like fittings that,
say, a mirror or any article can be rigidly set at any desired angle from the
vertical or other line when moved by hand.
The invention is clearly shown in the annexed drawings, Figure 1 being a part

page_text: sectional elevation of the appliance forming my invention. Figure 2 elevation
of a swing bracket with my invention and a mirror applied.
The invention consists of a cup or socket plate A securable by screw or pin B
to a swing or other bracket C. The cup or socket A contains a helical spring D
on which a plug E has free play yet held in contact by step piece F. This plug E
has a curved inner face for the reception of a sphere or round ended cone G on
the end of an attachment plate H affixable to say, a mirror frame I, or frame
on which an article for show purposes can be supported. The sphere or round
ended cone G is encircled by a screw ferrule or collar J which engages over a
threaded end K of the spring contained cup or socket A and according to the
pressure exerted in screwing up the ferrule J so the spring D becomes compressed
and the sphere or round ended cone G made as tight as is necessary to hold, say,
the mirror I in the position to which it has been moved or turned.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:-
The improvements relating to mirror and like fittings for adjustment purposes,
consisting of a cup or socket plate A and ferrule J enclosing a helical spring D,
plug E, and sphere or cone end G, the sphere or cone end G forming part of an
attachment plate H, the whole being arranged and secured to a swing bracket 2
substantially as shown on the annexed drawings.
