PROVIDIUNAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Spindles, Knobs, or Mounts of
Fenders, Bedsteads, and other Furniture.
I, EDWIN TAYLOR, of 1, Alfred Street, Warstone Lane, Birmingham, in the
County of Warwick, Stamper and Piercer, do hereby declare the nature of my
said invention to be as follows:-
My invention has for its object improvements in the manufacture of fender
supports, spindles, knobs and bedstead and other furniture which I make in a very
simple and expeditious manner as follows:-
I stamp or press the various mounts, spindles, knobs, supports, etc., used for bed-
stead and other furniture from iron or brass or iron with a thin covering of brass
either applied before stamping or bending or afterwards. I make these stampings
in sections or halves, and where they are united together flanges are formed under
the stamp or press and the halves or sections are united together by rivets. The
flanges may be notched out in a variety of ornamental forms and copper or other
metal, wire, wood, cane, textile material, rubber or composition may be placed
between the flanges to make a solid junction. In case of the knob mounts and
where the upper portion is more or less plain I make these from a stamping or strip
of metal roughly shaped and then bent over at the centre of its length so that the
top of the knob is solid and the flanging only extends down the lower portion
thereof that portion only being rivetted. A screw nut may be enclosed at the
bottom in closing and flanging the parts over so as to enclose the same firmly
against turning or coming loose.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Spindles, Knobs, or Mounts of
Fenders, Bedsteads, and other Furniture.
I, EDWIN TAYLOR, of 1, Alfred Street, Warstone Lane, Birmingham, in the
County of Warwick, Stamper and Piercer, do hereby declare the nature of my
said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention has for its object improvements in the manufacture of spindles
knobs or mounts of fenders bedsteads and other furniture which I make in a very
simple and expeditious manner as follows:-

page_text: I stamp or press the various mounts spindles knobs &c. used for bedstead and
other furniture from iron or brass or iron with a thin covering of brass either
applied before stamping or bending or afterwards. I make these stampings in
sections or halves and when they are united together flanges are formed under the
stamp or press and the halves or section are united together by rivets. The flanges
may be notched out in a variety of ornamental forms and copper or other metal
wire wood cane textile material rubber or composition may be placed between
the flanges to make a solid junction. In case of the knob mounts and where the
upper portion is more or less plain I make. these from a stamping or strip of metal
roughly shaped and then bent over at the centre of its length so that the top of
the knob is solid and the stamping only extends down the lever portion thereof
that portion only being rivetted. A screw nut may be enclosed at the bottom in
closing and flanging the parts over so as to enclose the same firmly against turning
or coming loose.
In order that my invention may be more. clearly understood and easily carried
into practical effect I have appended hereunto a double sized sheet of drawings
upon which I have illustrated examples of my improvements.
Figure 1 shews the two parts from which I construct one form of my knobs or
mounts.
Figure 2 is a similar view to Figure 1 shewing the parts fixed together.
Figure 3 is a sectional view of another method of connecting the two parts
together.
Figure 4 is a part sectional elevation shewing my method of forming a knob or
mount in three parts.
Figure 5 shews a similar knob or mount as shewn at Figure 4 but formed in
two parts only.
Figures 67 and 8 shew knobs or mounts formed in two parts of ornamental
shapes.
Figure 9 shews a knob or mount formed out of one piece.
Figure 10 shews a portion of a spindle mount.
In carrying my invention into practice I press or stamp the parts A and B
whether for knobs mounts &c. for bedsteads and other furniture from iron brass or
other metal or from iron with the thin covering D) of brass or other metal as shown
on the drawings at Figures 1 3 and 4 either applied before stamping or bending
or afterwards. These parts are formed with the flanges a¹ and 61 and are united
together by the rivets a² as shewn at Figures 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Or instead of
forming external flanges on the parts A and B I may form the part B with the
rabbeted part 2 over and onto which the edge of the part A fits and is united
thereto by rivetting as shewn at Figure 3. In the method as shewn at Figure 4
I form the mount or knob in three parts E F and H. The lower part which forms
the socket is made in one piece and the top part is made in two parts E and F
and these parts are rabbeted at their lower edges so as to fit into and flush with the
part H. The part F is also rabbeted where it is united with the part E. These parts
are connected together by rivetting, the heads of the rivets being in the interior in
the same manner as shewn at Figure 3. At Figure 5 I have shown my mount or
knob formed in two parts J and the lower part J¹ which forms the socket having
its upper edge which is united to the part J formed ornamental the rivets which
unite these parts together being inserted through holes formed in this ornamental
portion.
In the method as shewn at Figure 6 I have formed my knob or mount in two
parts the edges of which are formed ornamental and are provided with holes into
which the rivets for uniting the parts together are inserted. The method as shewn
at. Figure 7 is very similar to the method as shewn at Figure 6 the rivets being
inserted through holes formed in the ornamental edges. At Figure 9 I have
shewn my knob or mount K formed from one piece of metal bent over at the
centre of its length so that the top portion is solid the flanges ¹ extending only
down the lower portion, this portion only being rivetted by the rivets which pass

page_text: through holes formed in these flanges. A screw nut may be enclosed at the bottom
of these knobs or mounts when rivetting the parts together so as to prevent the
same from turning or coming loose. Or in place of the screw nut a washer or screw
or rivet or peg may be used. I may also place between the flanges before the parts
are rivetted together copper wire or other metal or wood cane, textile material
rubber or composition so as to make a solid junction. The method as shewn at
Figure 10 illustrates an example of my mode of making a spindle mount which
may be of various designs. This mount L is formed in two parts with a number
of holes in the flanges formed on the edges of each through which the rivets are
inserted which unite the parts together.
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:-
CLAIMS.
First: The improvements in the manufacture of spindle mounts knobs or
mounts of fenders bedsteads and other furniture consisting essentially in forming
them in one, two, or more parts with an outer covering such as D and rivetted
together in the manner substantially as hereinbefore described and as shewn upon
the drawings.
Second: Forming knobs or mounts in two parts such as A and B having
flanges such as a and b and an outer covering such as D and rivetting the same
together in the manner as herein set forth and as shewn at Figures 12 and 8.
Third Forming knobs or mounts in two or more parts with an outer covering such
as D which parts are connected together by rivetting in the manner substantially
as herein set forth and as shewn at Figures 3, 4, and 5.
Fourth Forming knobs or mounts in two or more parts with an outer cover-
ing such as I) and rivetting the same together in the manner and for the purpose
substantially as herein set forth and as shewn at Figures 6 and 7.
Fifth Forming knobs or mounts from one piece of metal with an outer cover-
ing such as D the lower ends being connected together by rivetting in the manner
substantially as herein set forth and as shewn at Figure 9.
Sixth-Spindles mounts, knobs or mounts formed in two or more parts with an
outer covering of brass, copper or other suitable metal the said parts being con-
nected together by rivetting in the manner substantially as herein set forth and as
shown upon the drawings."
