I GEORGE JONES of 35 Broadway, Cardiff in the County of Glamorgan Brass
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 :-
The improvements in bay cornice poles and the like, consists in having all the
bent corners in separate parts, by this means a bay cornice pole can be made to fit
any size window.
The corners are cast in soft yellow brass of a uniform thickness, with reduced
ends to fit the tube, making a flush joint, and kept in position by set screw on top
of pole.
These corners possess the great advantage of being set open or closed by simply
bending out or in according to bay window to the extent required, without kinking
or losing their shape in any way.
The corners fit closer to the window and are much better in appearance when
fixed.
The bay poles can be kept in stock practically speaking, as the tubes and corners
are kept finished and can be cut and put together in two hours, and when taken to
pieces can be delivered in perfect condition, without bruises or scratches, as they
can be packed in an ordinary case.
And in order that my said invention may be fully understood I shall now
proceed more particularly to describe the same, and for that purpose shall refer to
the several figures on the annexed sheet of drawings the same letters of reference
indicating corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure A represents a bay cornice pole with four cast corners ready for fixing
according to my invention, showing set screws on top of pole.
Figures 1, 1, 1, 1, represent cast corners in place and Figures 2, 2, 2, 2, represent
the tubes.

page_text: Figure B shows a bay cornice pole, with the cast corners and tubes loose.
Figures 3, 3, 3 3, represent the four Corners with reduced ends about 11" exactly
fitting the inside of the tubes, and turned true, so as to correspond with diameter of
tube, both being flush when in place substantially as described.
The corners are cast in soft yellow metal and specially annealed and being of a
uniform thickness so as to open or close by simply bringing pressure to bear on
ends of tube, outwards or inwards as required substantially as described.
Figures 4, 4, 4, 4, shows tubes in straight lengths. These tubes are cut to any
measurement as may be required, without joint in centre of bay window.
The tubes are simply faced true on the ends to slip on to the cast corners,
making a close joint. The set screw keeping tubes from twisting substantially as
described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is
First. A cast corner or a loose connecting piece for bay cornice poles and
the like.
Second. A corner connection having reduced ends, and being in one piece of
uniform thickness and when connected with brass tubes of a given length forms a
bay cornice pole, for bay windows and the like, substantially as hereinbefore
described.
