PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Method of Attaching Metallic Plates to Tubes, Wires,
or Rods.
I, HARRY HERBERT TYE of Albion Works, Legge Lane Birmingham in the
County of Warwick Brassfounder do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
The ordinary method of attaching metallic plates to tubes, wires or rods is by
soldering, brazing or screwing; my improved method consists in attaching a
metallic plate or plates to a piece of tube, wire or rod in any desired position or
positions without soldering, brazing or screwing.
In attaching a metallic plate to a piece of tube, wire or rod according to my
invention, I cut out of sheet brass or other metal or alloy blanks of any suitable
shape and in the said blanks I make two or more slits or pierce two or more slot-
holes, I then open the slits or slot holes sufficiently to thread the piece of tube, wire
or rod to which 1 desire to attach the metallic plate, I now thread a piece of tube,
wire or rod through the slits or slot-holes opened in the metallic plate as herein-
before described.
By means of dies or tools operated in a press or stamp a blow is given to the
metallic plate which securely fastens it to the piece of tube, wire or rod; the tube,
wire or rod is then bent or formed into the various articles desired.
Two or more plates may be attached to one piece of tube, wire or rod by the
same means as hercinbefore described.
Dated this Eighteenth day of November 1890.

An Improved Method of Attaching Metallic Plates to Tubes, Wires,
or Rods.
I, HARRY HERBERT TYE of Albion Works Legge Lane Birmingham, in the
County of Warwick, Brassfounder 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 :-
The ordinary method of attaching metallic plates to tubes, wires or rods is by
soldering, brazing or screwing; my improved method consists in attaching a
metallic plate or plates to a piece of tube, wire or rod in any desired position or
positions without soldering, brazing or screwing.
In attaching a metallic plate to a piece of tube, wire or rod according to my
invention, I cut out of sheet brass or other metal or alloy, blanks of any suitable
shape and in each of the said blanks I make two or more slits or pierce two or more
slot-holes, I then open the slits or slot-holes sufficiently to thread the piece of tube,
wire or rod to which I desire to attach the metallic plate, I now thread a piece of
tube, wire or rod through the slits or slot-holes opened in the metallic plate as
hereinbefore described.
By means of dies or tools operated in a press or stamp, a blow is given to the
metallic plate which securely fastens it to the piece of tube, wire or rod; the tube,
wire or rod is then bent or formed into the various articles desired.
Two or more plates may be attached to one piece of tube, wire or rod by the
same means as hereinbefore described.
I do not confine myself to the shape of the metallic plates and a fancy design

page_text: may be given at one and the same process as they are attached to the tubes, wires
or rods or by a separate process.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings represents the blank of brass or other
metal or alloy.
Figure 2 represents the said blank with slits or slot-holes a.
Figure 3 represents in front elevation and Figure 4 represents in side elevation
the said blank with the slits or slot-holes a opened sufficiently to thread a piece of
tube, wire or rod.
Figure 5 represents in front elevation and Figure 6 represents in side elevation
the metallic plate with the tube, wire or rod threaded through the slits or
slot-holes a.
Figure 7 represents the metallic plate after receiving a blow by means of dies or
tools operated in a press or stamp, securely fastened to the tube, wire or rod and
with countersunk holes c for attaching screws, the said tube wire or rod being bent
so as to form a hat and coat hook.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
:
"An improved method of attaching metallic plates to tubes, wires or rods."
First Making slits or slot-holes and opening same sufficiently for threading the
tubes, wires or rods substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated in
Figures 1. 2. 3 & 4. of the accompanying drawings.
Secondly-Threading the tubes, wires or rods through the slits or slot-holes and
securely attaching the metallic plates to same by means of dies or tools operated
in a press or stamp substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated in
Figures 5. 6 & 7. of the accompanying drawings.
Dated this Fourteenth day of August 1891.
