PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Door Furniture and in the Methods of Securing
the same.
I, JAMES ATKINSON Bowness Windermere in the County of Westmoreland
Watchmaker do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to "Door furniture and to the method of securing the
same." The improvement consists of the use of a screw washer with flange and
drill holes for dowell pins. This washer is screwed on to an ordinary threaded
spindle up to the rose. The knob with fixed dowell pins is then slided on to the
spindle and attached to the screwed washer. By the use of a binding nat the whole
is held firmly in position.
Door furniture so constructed is strong, inexpensive, and can easily be fixed by
hand without tools. It is not liable to get out of order as all small screws or pins
and grooves in spindle are dispensed with.
