Novel and Improved Method of Securing Tiles or Panels to their
Backings.
1 GALCENIA GLOINS BARWIS PEARSON of 6 Clifton Grove, Dalston, Middlesex,
Glass Beveller, Silverer and Brilliant Cutter do hereby declare the nature of my
said invention to be as follows:-
This invention has principally for object securing glass tiles or panels to
their backings in a novel manner to obtain flatness and perfectness of touch of the
glass, to prevent their shifting and to produce a neat finish and also an ornamental
effect by the attachment of a glass or other head to a screw pin which I insert into
the head and neck of the screw proper by which the tile or panel is held in
place.
According to my invention I take a tile or panel perfectly flat on its back which
may be silvered, painted or otherwise coated according to its intended use, and form
a hole in it, preferably countersunk at its centre, around which may be a device for
ornamental or artistic purposes; I employ a perfectly flat board or other material
for the attachment of the tile or panel by a screw, the head of which is tapped for
the reception of a screw pin or stud the head of which is embedded in glass pottery
ware or other material forms a projection in shape or otherwise corresponding to
that of the panel or its mounts or surroundings.
The position or the use to which my invention is applicable varies considerably.

Novel and Improved Method of Securing Tiles or Panels to their
Backings.
I GALCENIA GLOINS BARWIS PEARSON of 6 Clifton Grove, Dalston, Middlesex
Glass Beveller, Silverer and Brilliant Cutter, 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:-
This invention has principally for object securing glass tiles or panels to their
backings in a novel manner to obtain flatness and perfectness of touch of the
glass, to prevent them shifting, and to produce a neat finish and also an ornamental
effect by the attachment of a glass or other head to a screw pin from which I insert
into the head and neck of the screw proper by which the tile or panel is held in
place.
According to my invention I take a tile or panel perfectly flat on its back which
may be silvered, painted or otherwise coated according to its intended use and form
a hole in it preferably countersunk at its centre around which may be a device for
ornamental or artistic purposes. I employ a perfectly flat board or other material
for the attachment of the tile or panel by a screw, the head of which is tapped for
the reception of a screw pin or stud the head of which embedded in glass pottery
ware, or other material forms a projection in shape or otherwise corresponding to
that of the panel or its mounts or surroundings.
The position or the use to which my invention is applicable varies considerably.
The annexed sheet of drawings show an example of a glass or pottery panel A

page_text: connected to a backing B by an ordinary wood screw C this being tapped in the
head and screw threaded for the reception of the screw nail D the head or end of
which is moulded or fixed into a glass or other bulb or button E as a projection
and an ornament to the panel. In the figures the panel is surrounded by a
moulding F.
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. The method of fitting tiles or panels to a backing as herein described and as
shewn in the annexed drawings.
2. Tapping and screw threading the head of an ordinary wood screw employed
for fixing a tile or panel to a backing and using therewith a threaded and headed
pin as a finish thereto, as set forth.
