PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Method of and Means for Binding Mantles for
Incandescent Lights.
I, EMIL SKRIWAN, off 4, Gasgasse, Vienna, Austria, Manufacturer of Mantles
for Incandescent-lights, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to an improved method of and means for binding the
edge of mantles for incandescent-lights which means consist essentially of a thin
tube having at one end a short slot and a plug adapted to be placed into the said
end. The mantle to be bound is drawn over and one end thereof brought level
with the edge of the said tube. The said binding is then placed over the respective
end of the mantle in such a manner that its upper half projects from the
said edge. This projecting part is then bent by hand against the interior of
the said tube and the said plug afterwards placed inside thereof, which plug
presses the turned in part of the said binding against the interior of the said
tuhe. The said binding is then provisionally secured to the mantle by a pin
passed through the aforesaid, slot and after stripping the mantle off the tube the
said binding is permanently secured to the mantle in the usual way by a seam.

Improvements in the Method of and Means for Binding Mantles for
Incandescent Lights.
I, EMIL SKRIWAN, of 4, Gasgasse, Vienna, Austria, Manufacturer of Mantles
for Incandescent-lights, 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:-
This invention relates to an improved method of and means for binding the
edge of mantles for incandescent-lights which means consists essentially of a thin
tube having at one end a short slot and a plug adapted to be placed into the said
end.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have caused
to be appended hereunto one sheet of drawings marked with letters of reference
indicating like parts in the various figures, showing the mantles in perspective
in its various stages of manufacture.

over and one end thereof brought level with the edge of the tube a
is then placed over the respective end of the mantle m, Fig. 2, in such a manner
that its upper half projects from the said edge. This projecting part of the
binding is then turned by hand inside of the tube a, Fig. 3, and the plug b
afterwards placed inside thereof, Fig. 4, which plug presses the turned-in part
of the said binding against the interior of the tube a. The binding n is then
temporary secured to the mantle by a pin c passed through the slot a¹ and after
stripping the mantle off the tube the binding is permanently secured to the mantle
in the usual way by a seam.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said In-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim, is--
1st. The method of binding the edges of incandescent-light mantles, consisting
in drawing the mantle m over a thin tube a, bringing the edge to be bound level
with the edge of the tube a, placing the binding n over the mantle, turning the
projecting part of the binding n inside and pressing it by means of a plug b
against the interior of the tube a, after which the binding n is temporary secured
to the mantle m by a pin c passed through a slot a¹ in the said tube, all sub-
stantially as set forth.
2nd. An apparatus for performing the method specified in the preceding claim,
consisting chiefly of a thin tube a having a slot a¹ and of a plug 6 used in con-
nection therewith all substantially as set forth.
Dated this 13th day of August 1897.
