1 CHARLES WILLIAM REES of 203 St. John Street Road Clerkenwell London
Cornice Pole Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
to be
"IMPROVEMENTS IN MITRE JOINTS OF CORNICE POLES FOR BAY WINDOWS
as follows:-
My Improvement consists of inserting (in each corner of the Bay pole being made)
a short piece of straight pole having mitres cut at each end to the required angle,
this short piece may be merely as a wedge between the lengths of pole used or may
be made of any length required to effect the object of my Improvement, which is, to
enable the rings bearing the curtains to be passed round the angles more readily and
easily. In jointing up the Bay pole the straight lengths only require to be cut off
square and turned or planed flat, the short piece aforementioned then only requires to
be fitted between them and the whole screwed together with (by preference) dowell
screws of required length the screw I prefer to fit loosely in the short piece on which
the mitres are cut, and to pass right through, hand-rail screws may be used instead of
dowell screws.
This I claim to be an Improvement on the ordinary method of making
mitred poles for Bay windows by cutting the mitres on the lengths of pole themselves,
forming only one joint to each corner. By using the short piece aforementioned I maké
two joints but the angles are not so acute and the rings pass round them more readily.
This improvement applies to both wood and metal poles."

page_text: I, CHARLES WILLIAM REES, of 203 St. John Street Road, Clerkenwell London, Cornice
Pole Manufacturer 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:-
My Improvement consists of inserting, in each corner of the Bay pole being made,
a short piece of straight Fig. 1 A pole having mitres cut at each end ¹ to the required
angle. This short piece may be merely as a wedge between the lengths of pole B
being used, or may be made any length required to effect the object of my improvement
which is, to enable the rings bearing the Curtains to be passed round the angles more
readily and easily. In jointing up the Bay pole the straight lengths B are cut off
square and turned or planed flat, the short wedge piece A cut to angle d' is inserted
between them and the whole screwed up together. In jointing the pieces together I
prefer to use dowell screws of required length, and to fit them loosely in the short
picce Fig. 1. A on which the mitres are cut, handrail screws may be used in lieu of
dowell screws if desired. My improvement may also be effected by cutting the angles
or mitres d' on the longer lengths of pole Fig. 2. D) required and inserting a short
piece cut off square Fig. 2 C between them, thus, by cutting the angles or mitres on a
short piece to fit between the longer lengths, or, by cutting the longer lengths and
inserting a short piece between them (without angles) I effect the object of my
Invention & improvement aforementioned.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:
That my Improvement consists in making two angles or mitres to each angle of
window frame (instead of one as in the usual method corresponding to angle of
window) the rings pass round the corners more easily. I make my joints right and
left of angle of window frame.
