I, GEORGE WILLIAM HERBERT, of 74 & 75, Dean Street, Birmingham, War-
wickshire, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
CERTAIN IMPROVEMENTS IN CURTAIN AND CORNICE RINGS" and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
My Invention relates to certain improvements in curtain and cornice rings and
has for its object to provide from a single piece of wire a curtain or cornice ring
having a loop or eye for attachment to the curtain, the said. piece of wire being
bent in such a form that the ends thereof do not require to be soldered.
I will proceed to fully describe my Invention by referring to the accompanying
sheet of drawings.
l
In Figure 1, A represents a piece of metal wire having a loop or eye formed at
one end thereof, which, when the straight part m is bent into the form shewn by
the side view B and front view C, forms a curtain or cornice ring according to
one part of my Invention, the eye serving for attachment to the curtain.
I sometimes form a loop or eye at both ends of the piece of wire as shewn in
Figures 2 and 3. In Figure 3 the wire forming the loop or eye l, at one end, is
bent in the opposite direction to that forming the loop or eye A, at the other end.
When the straight part m is bent into the form shewn by the views B and C it
forms a curtain or cornice ring according to my Iuvention. The double loop or
eye of the completed curtain or cornice ring may be compressed by means of
the tools O, P as shewn in Figure 7 which when the said tools are closed will be
formed into a single loop or eye Д as shewn in Figure 6.
When making my improved curtain or cornice rings of iron wire I prefer to
cover them with thin sheet brass or other metal. Figure 5 shews a curtain or
cornice, ring so covered with a hollow ring of sheet brass or other metal n, which
is shewn in detail in Figure 4. The operations of covering my improved curtain
or cornice rings and the tools for use in the said operations are substantially the
same as those now in use as will be readily understood without further explanation.
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:
1. A curtain or cornice ring formed of one piece of wire bent to the form as
described and illustrated by Figure 1 of my drawings.

page_text: 2. A curtain or cornice ring formed of one piece of wire bent to the form as
described and illustrated by Figure 2 of my drawings.
3. A curtain or cornice ring formed of one piece of wire bent to the form as
described and illustrated by Figure 3 of my drawings.
4. A curtain or cornice ring formed of one piece of wire bent to the form as
herein described and illustrated by Figures 2 and 3, the loop or eye l, l being
compressed into a single loop as herein described and illustrated by Figures
and 7.
5. A curtain or cornice ring formed of one piece of wire bent to the form as
described and illustrated by Figures 1, 2, 3 and 6 and covered with sheet brass or
other metal as described and illustrated by Figures 4 and 5.
