Improvements in Connections or Fittings for Holding Together the
Angles and Corners of Bedsteads.
I JOHN TALBOT of 27 Cato Street North, Birmingham, in the County of
Warwick, Bedstead Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
:-
My invention has for its object to provide a more secure connection or fitting
for the angles and corners of bedsteads than there has hitherto been, so that these
parts of the bedstead will be less liable to become loose and get apart under the
constant pulling and wriggling to which they are subject, in reality by my invention
it becomes an impossibility for these parts to get asunder.
I provide the ends of the angles with a suitable bracket or tongue for fitting
into a box in the corner of the pillar and I provide both bracket and box with a
hole. A bolt or pin fits through the holes in both bracket and box so that these
parts then become firmly held together.

Improvements in Connections or Fittings for Holding Together the
Angles and Corners of Bedsteads.
I, JOHN TALBOT, of 27, Cato Street North, Birmingham, in the County of
Warwick, Bedstead Manufacturer 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 :-
My invention has for its object to provide a more secure connection or fitting for
the angles and corners of bedsteads than there has hitherto been, so that these
parts of the bedstead will be less liable to become loose and get apart under the
constant pulling and wriggling to which they are subject, in reality, by my
invention it becomes an impossibility for these parts to get asunder.
I provide the ends of the angles with a suitable bracket or tongue for fitting
into a box in the corner of the pillar, and I provide both bracket and box with a
hole. A bolt or pin fits through the holes in both bracket and box so that these
parts then become firmly held together or locked.
And in order that my invention may be most fully understood I show on the
accompanying sheet of drawings some illustrations of connections or fittings on
the principle of my invention.
Figs. 1 and 2 are an unlocked and a locked connection or fitting, respectively, in
which a pin is employed. A is the bracket or tongue at one end of the angle
and B is the box at the corner of the pillar. C forms the holes and D is the pin
making the connection.
Figs. 3 and 4 are views corresponding to Figs. 1 and 2, but in the connection or
fitting shown in Figs. 3 and 4 the screw bolt D replaces the pin shown on Fig. 1.

page_text: In Figs. 3 and 4 A is again the bracket or tongue and B the box at the corner of
the pillar. C is the hole in the box for the passage of the bolt D, the end of
which takes into a tapped hole in the bracket or tongue A as will be clearly
understood by the aid of Fig. 4.
Fig. 5 shows the application of my invention to a bedstead connection or fitting
such as is used in public institutions and which will be well known to bedstead
manufacturers.
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-
The improvements, hereinbefore described, in connections or fittings for the
purpose described, consisting in the employment of a bolt or pin, or their
equivalent, in combination with a bracket or tongue and box, or their equivalents,
provided with a hole or holes for the reception of the bolt or pin.
