PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Brace Fittings.
I, CHARLES NEWBOLD EYLAND of Rushall Street Walsall in the County of
Stafford, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention consists in new and improved methods of forming upon the
frames the pin or pins or bars upon which to hang the wheels, cords or brace ends.
One way in which I do this is to form the frame of continuous wire bent in the
requisite form with the ends of the wire brought down to the bottom as a tongue
piece and one or both of these ends turned horizontally to form the bar or bars
upon which to place the wheels or hang the cords or brace ends so that when the
back and front plates forming the outer case are placed over this extended portion
or tongue piece of the frame and clenched together in the usual way the
horizontal bar or bars will extend across from back to front plate.
Or when applying the pin or pins to buckle frames stamped out, or made not of
continuous wire I can insert a piece of wire through a hole or holes in the tongue
piece and fold it over into position so that the end or ends of the wire will come
against or into the opposite plate of the tongue piece and act as the bar or bars.
Another way of forming the pin, pins or bars is to stamp out the frame in its
usual form or forms but to leave upon its lower end one, two or more tongue pieces
which I turn up so as to form the bar or bars. Or when stamping out the frame
a projecting plate may be formed at the bottom pierced with holes to receive wire
to form the pin or pins. In either instance pin or pins will be encased in the
usual way.

Improvements in Brace Fittings.
1, CHARLES NEWBOLD EYLAND of Rushall Street, Walsall 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, reference being had to the accompanying sheet of drawings:-
This invention consists in new and improved methods of forming the pin or pins
or bars upon which to hang the wheels, cords or brace ends.
One way in which I do this is to form the frame of continuous wire bent the
requisite form with the ends of the wire brought down to the bottom and one or
both of these ends turned horizontally to form the bar or bars upon which to
place the wheels or hang the cords or brace ends so that when the back and front
plates forming the outer case are placed over this extended portion of the frame
and clenched together in the usual way the horizontal bar or bars will extend
across from the one plate to the other.
This is illustrated on the sheet of drawings by Figs. 1 to 5 inclusive.
Figs. 1 & 2 show in front and side elevation wire bent to form the frame a with
the ends b, b, brought down and turned horizontally to form the pegs c, c¹.

page_text: Fig. 3 shows the outer case before it is folded over and clenched together in
forming the complete buckle shown in Figs. 4 & 5. To do which the rollers r
Fig. 5 being placed on the pegach, the outer, case. Eig. 3 is placed over the wire
frame, the portion d covering the ends b b', the portion e being brought in front of
the pegs c, c', and the portion ƒ closed round the bottom of the frame f¹. And by
extending the case as shown between ƒ and g Figs. 1 and 3 it may be carried up
the frame to form the prong barrel by bending the metal over into a tubular form
with the ears or projections.h.clipping, the sides of the wire frame.
Fig. 1 shows another form into which the wire may be bent so as to form a
frame with the pegs or pins side by side, for this the casing would be made of
a different outline to that shown in Fig. 3.
Or when applying the pin or pins to buckle frame or frames made otherwise
than of continuous wire I can insert a piece of wire through holes in the casing
and fold it over into position so that the ends of the wire will come against or into
the opposite plate of the casing and act as the bar or bars for the rollers cords or
brace-ends..
This is illustrated on the sheet of drawings by Figs. 6 to 10 inclusive.
Fig. 8 shows the metal casing ready to be folded and clenched onto the stamped
out frame in making the complete buckles Figs. 9 & 10, and having the flaps i
folded over and encasing the bent wire Figs. 6 & 7 with the ends c³ protruding to
form the pegs upon which to put the rollers r or hang the cords or brace ends.
This casing may be made as illustrated in Figs. 8 & 9 to only clench the lower bar
or be carried up as shown in Fig. 1.
Another way of forming the pin, pins or bars is to pierce or stamp out the
frame in its usual form or forms but to leave upon its lower end one or more
projecting pieces which may be turned up so to form the pin, pins, or bars and
incase it as described in reference to Figs. 3, and 5.
This arrangement being practically the same for pierced or stamped out frames
as that illustrated for the wire frames it is not specially represented on the
drawings.
Another mode of constructing these buckles is when piercing or stamping out
the frames to form upon their lower bar a projecting piece pierced with holes to
receive wire to form the pin or pins and to then encase it in the usual way.
Figs. 11 and 12 illustrate in front and side elevation my invention applied to the
back loop of braces in which the loop 1 may have its ends extended to form pegs or
bars as in the wire frame Figs. 1 and 2, or independent wire as Figs. 6 and 7. may
be used.
By all these arrangements the pegs are so arranged that the casing enclosing
them presents a perfectly smooth outer surface against the clothing of the wearer.
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. In brace fittings constructing the bar, bars or pegs, upon which to place the
rollers or hang the cords or brace ends substantially as herein set forth and
specified.
2. Covering or encasing the pegs or bars on which the rollers are placed or the
cords or brace ends hung as described and illustrated so as to present a perfectly
smooth outer surface against the clothing of the wearer.
