PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Affixing Metal Medallions, Metal Trade Marks, or
the like, to Brush Ware and other Articles.
I, HERBERT ALEXANDER WANKLYN, of 17 Manchester Avenue, in the City
of London, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in affixing metal medallions, metal trade
marks or the like to brush ware and other articles, and the object of my invention is
to fix said medallions or the like, without the use of cement, which has hitherto
been necessary.
In carrying out my invention I cut a recess of suitable shape and depth in the
articles on which a metal medallion or the like is to be mounted, the size of which
recess increases with its depth so that it is largest at the bottom. I then insert in
the recess, a medallion, trade mark or the like, which medallion, trade mark or
the like is convex on the upper side and concave on the under side and is made of
suitable soft metal. The recess is at the top of about the same size as the convex
medallion, so that on the application of sufficient pressure, the said medallion is
flattened out and is thereby locked in the recess. The periphery of the medallion
or the like may be tapered as desired, so as to better grip the tapered recess.
A nedallion or the like fixed in the manner described, is held firmly in its
place and is not liable to work out by reason of any shrinking or expanding of any
of the materials, and the use of cement is also obviated.
Dated this 22nd day of March 1894.

Improvements in Affixing Metal Medallions, Metal Trade Marks, or
the like, to Brush Ware and other Articles.
I, HERBERT ALEXANDER WANKLYN, of 17 Manchester Avenue, in the City
of London, Merchant, 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 improvements in affixing metal medallions, metal trade
marks or the like, to brush ware and other articles, and the object of my invention
is to fix said medallions or the like, without using cement, and without pinning the
medallions as hitherto done.
In order that my invention may be readily understood reference is made to the
accompanying drawing wherein like letters indicate corresponding parts and in
which-
Figure 1, is an enlarged sectional view of my invention showing the shape of
the medallion when about to be fixed to the article B.
Figure 2, is a similar view to Figure 1, but showing the medallion fixed to the
article B.

page_text: In carrying out my invention 1 cut a recess A of suitable shape and depth in
the article B on which a metal medallion, trade mark or the like C is to be
mounted. Said recess is cut with an expanding cutter or the like so that the
diameter of said recess increases with its depth as shown. J then insert into said
recess A a medallion, trade mark or the like C, which is convex on the upper
side and concave on the under side as shown, which concave medallion, trade
mark or the like C is of such a size as to be just capable of being inserted into
said recess A, and is made of suitable soft metal, so that, when inserted into sail
recess as described, it may be flattened out by any suitable means, in order to fill
up the undercut portion of the recess A and thereby become permanently fixed or
locked in said recess. The medallion, trade mark or the like C, may be bevelled
to the same extent as the recess is undercut.
A medallion or the like fixed in the manner described, is held firmly in its place
and is not liable to work out by reason of any shrinking or expanding of any of
the materials, and the use of cement is also obviated.
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. Affixing metal medallions, trade marks and the like to brush ware and other
articles, substantially in the manner and for the purposes described.
2. A metal medallion, trade mark or the like C bevelled at the edges and having
its upper surface convex and its under side concave, and adapted to be inserted
into a gradually widening recess A, formed on brushware or other articles B, said
metal medallion, trade mark or the like, being flattened out after having been
inserted into said recess, for the purpose and substantially as described and
illustrated.
3. Brushware and other suitable articles having an undercut recess formed
thereon, for the purpose and substantially as described and illustrated.
