PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Rug Mounts or Rug Plates
and Rings.
I WILLIAM BODILL PARKER of Chepstow House Soho Hill Handsworth in the
County of Staffordshire Brassfounder do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
A rug mount or rug plates and ring, the bottom parts being formed out of rolled
metal and cast or drawn tube; the plate being pierced with a square or
V or D shaped hole and the tube being squared or V or D shaped and shouldered,
so as to pass through the pierced plate as far as the shoulder, so as to allow the
squared or Vor D shaped part being riveted or burred over. I then cover up the
hole left, and the rough riveting, with a cap, so as to make a neat finish to
the plate, or, if I use a solid piece of wire, I square or V or D shape that and drill
out the inside and rivet, without the cap, as I only drill part of the way through,
and rivet the back and turn the rough part off.
The knob and screw part I then form out of sheet metal drawn or pressed and
formed in the shape of a knob with 2 holes pierced through the sides so as to pass
the ring through and I form a shoulder either round, square or any other shape
suitable to take the head of a rivet either cast or made out of wire pressed or forged
with head either round, square or any other shape. I then insert the wire ring and
braze together in the usual way.
By constructing a rug mount or rug plates and ring in the above way I am able
to always guarantee having the tube in the centre of the plate so that top and
bottom plates always close opposite to each other which it is impossible to do
in the present system of soldering the tube on to the plate and the thread on the
inside of the tube will always fit the screw or rivet or screw ring and knob
part.
In the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1. represents the rug mounts ready for use.
Fig. 2. represents disc of sheet metal with square or may be V or D shaped hole
pierced ready for tube to be inserted.
Fig. 3. represents tube or wire square or may be V or D shaped with shoulder
so as to fit square or V or D shaped hole in plate in Fig. 2.
Fig. 4. represents plate Fig. 2. with tube or wire square or may be V or D shaped
as in Fig. 3. inserted ready for riveting.
f
Fig. 5. represents cap which I clench over riveted square or V or D shape on
tube after passing through the plate as in Fig. 4.
I then place the whole under tools and close together so that when finished the
face of the plate has a perfectly smooth surface. then tapp or put a screw thread
inside the tube.
In these drawings the letter A designates the rug mount or rug plates and ring
finished and ready for use. Brepresents plate with hole C pierced ready to
receive the tube F with one end D squared or may be V or D shaped to same
size as in plate represented in Fig. 2 with a shoulder E above the squared or
V or D shaped part D to prevent the part F from going through. F is the tub
or drilled out wire left on the inside to be tapped or to have a screw thread
put inside in the ordinary way. Fig. 4 shows the plate B as in Fig. 2. with
tube or wire as in Fig. 3. inserted so that D protrudes through the pierced hole C
as far as the shoulder E leaving F of Fig. 3. on the inside. The points D are now
partially turned over and a properly constructed cap or cover G is placed over and
then closed over partially turned points D and it is placed in properly constructed

page_text: tools and forced by pressure so as to rivet the parts B. F. G together so that the
whole has a finished appearance and on the outside of B with cap G showing as
only one piece of metal.
If I use the wire instead of the tube the same process is gone through except
that I do not use a cap but rivet by hand or under dies and turn the rough part off
in a lathe.
Fig. 6. represents disc of sheet metal which I press into shape under properly
constructed tools to form knob.
Fig. 7. represents disc partially formed in which I pierce two holes through the
sides opposite one another.
Fig. 8. represents same as Figs. 6 and 7 with holes pierced ready to be turned or
pressed in at the sides so as to form knob with shoulder which shoulder I form into
shape either round, square or any other shape.
Fig. 9. represents knob part shaped with holes pierced in sides and shoulder
formed either round square or any other shape.
Fig. 10. represents rivet either cast or wire pressed or forged with head formed
either round square or any other shape to fit in shoulder of knob part as shown in
Fig. 9.
Fig. 11. represents knob as shown in Fig. 9 with rivet inserted in shoulder ready
to be riveted which is done by turning over the points of the knob part over the
wire and head and thus securely holding the rivet in its place. I then turn or cut
on the rivet part a screw which will fit the tube in the lower part and also insert
the wire ring in the usual way and braze or solder together.
In these drawings the letter H represents the disc of metal out of which I form
the knob. I represents holes pierced in sides of partially formed knob H ready
to receive the ordinary ring. K represents the turned or pressed in part of H
with the shoulder L left either round, square or any other shape. M represents
rivet with head either round, square or any other shape which shape must always
be the same as that in the shoulder L.
Fig. 11. shows the head of rivet M in Fig. 10 inserted in shoulder L of Fig. 9
with the points of L turned over and riveted at N.
I now put a screw thread on the rivet part M so that it will screw into the
tube F as shown in Fig. 4.
The ring is then placed through the holes I in Fig. 11 and soldered or brazed in
the usual way. The loose plate use as usual.
Having now declared the nature of my invention I disclaim the other parts
that is the single plate as shown in Fig. 1 and the ring which goes through the
knob.
What I claim is making the bottom plate with the plate and tube part riveted
together instead of soldering as has been done heretofore. Also making the
knob out of sheet metal and the nipple out of cast or wire and not all cast in one
piece.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Rug Mounts or Rug Plates
and Rings.
I WILLIAM BODILL PARKER of Chepstow House, Soho Hill, Handsworth, in
the County of Staffordshire, 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 said invention relates to the manufacture of rug mounts cr rug plates and
rings the bottom plates being formed out of sheet or rolled metal and cast or
drawn tube; the bottom plate or plates being piercel with a square, V, or D, or

page_text: any other shaped hole and the tube being shouldered with a square, V or D, or any
other shaped projection so as to pass through the pierced plate or plates as far as
the shoulder so as to allow the square, V or D, or any other shaped part of the
tube which has passed through the plate or plates to be riveted or burred over, I
then either cover up the hole left and the rough riveting with a cap formed for that
purpose or, if I use a solid or cast piece, I square or V or D or any other shape that
and drill out the inside and rivet without the cap, as I only drill part of the way
through and rivet the back and turn the rough part off.
1
By manufacturing rug mounts or rug plates and rings in the above way I am
able to always guarantee having the tube in the centre of the plate, so that
top and bottom plates always close opposite to each other, the which it is
impossible to do in the existing mode of soldering the tube on to the plate.
In the accompanying drawings;
Fig. 1. represents the rug mount ready for use.
Fig. 2. represents disk of sheet metal with square, V or D or any other shaped
hole pierced ready for tube to be inserted.
Fig. 3. represents tube or solid or cast piece squared, V or D or any other shape
with shoulder so as to fit into the square, V or D, or any other shaped hole in plate
in Figure 2.
Fig. 4. represents plate as in Fig. 2. with tube or solid or cast piece as in Fig. 3.
inserted ready for riveting.
Fig. 5. represents cap which I clench over riveted part of tube. I then put the
whole under tools and close together.
Fig. 6A represents large cap into which the whole of the plate with the riveted
tube as in Fig. 4. is placed.
Fig. 7 represents the plate with the riveted tube as in Fig. 4 inserted into the
cap as in Fig. 64 with the edge of the cap turned over and is complete the tube
being in the centre and the plate being quite smooth.
In making the plate as described in Fig. 7 I may adopt the following method.
Using a sheet of brass and a sheet of iron or steel and piercing them with a square,
Vor D or any other shaped hole I insert the tube F as in Fig. 4 and rivet the
two plates together with the ears of the tube F & finish them as described under
the heading Fig. 74. I may use the same process in the production of the loose
plate by using one plate iron and one plate brass and covering these with a cap,
Fig. 6A, and piercing a hole for the screw of the screw ring to go through.
In these drawings the letter A designates the rug mount or rug plates and ring
finished and ready for use.
The letter B represents the plate with the hole square, or V or D, or any
other shape, C, pierced ready to receive the tube, F, with one end, D, squared
or V or D or any other shaped, to fit hole, C, in plate, B, with a shoulder, E,
above the prepared part, D, to prevent the part, F, from going through the
plate, B, at C.
Fig. 4. shows the plate, B, as in Fig. 2 with tube or solid or cast piece as in
Fig. 3 inserted so that, D, protrudes through the pierced hole, C, as far as the
shoulder, E, leaving F of Fig. 3. on the inside. The edge of D is now turned over
and the cap or cover G is placed over and then closed together completely
covering the edge D and making a clean finish.
Another method I claim is of using the same process as before with the
exception that I completely rivet the edge, D, of Fig. and then insert it into
the cap, X. Fig. 6, and then close the edges Y of Fig. 6A over the plate B
as in Fig. 2. with the part F riveted in as before described. The tube Fis
then tapped or a screw-thread put inside in the usual way.
I may use more than two plates to form the part as in Fig. 7. Thus I
may use a cap of brass as in Fig. 6 with the plate as shown in Fig. 4 of brass
and iron with the part F, Fig. 3. inserted through both and I may use the same
process in the production of the loose or single plate.

page_text: I disclaim the other parts i.e. the screw with ring attached as seen in A.
Fig. 1.
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
-
1. Making the bottom plate with the tube, solid or cast part, riveted in instead
of the plate & tube being soldered together as has been done heretofore.
2. Covering the rough riveted part with a small cap; or, covering the plate with
the tube riveted in with a large cap as shown in Fig. 7*.
3. The combination in the plates of two or more pieces of metal to one plate.
