Improvements in Celling Roses, Out Outs, and such like for
Eleotrioal Purposes.
We CHARLES LEIGH CLARKE of 7 South Parade, WILLIAM PAUL
THEERMANN of 11 Great Ducie Street, Manchester, Electricians in the County of
Lancaster do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-

like for electrical purposes. Ceiling roses, cut outs, and switches are at present
fixed on to the wood casing which contains the wire, and for neat appearance aro
mounted on wooden patresses fitted to the said wood casing. Now the object of
our invention is to dispense with the wooden patress, and to save tinie and labour
in fitting same on the wood casing, and to effect these improvements we propose to
make the bases of ceiling roses, cut outs switches and such like of a larger diameter
and thick enough to be recessed out to fit the wooden casing suitable holes for
screws are provided in the said base for fixing the same either direct on the wooden
casing or direct to the wall, ceiling or such like. The upper part of the said base
is provided with screw thread to receive the cover and is also provided with
suitable holes or openings for the wires, screws, contact plates the same as at
present in use.
