PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Corner Joints for Cornice Poles and the like.
I, JAMES ROBERTSHAW, of Churnett Street, Rochdale Road, Manchester, in
the County of Lancaster, Window Blind Manufacturer, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
•
My object is to form a cornerjoint for cornicepoles and the like, of a shape
which will allow the curtainrings to slide readily over it.
I accomplish this, in metal, by attaching two metal discs together by means
of a suitable metal joint; each disc is furnished with a suitable centre screw,
or socket, for insertion, or attachment, into, or to, one of the two sections of
the pole, and is also furnished with one or more holes for fixing screws to
prevent its rotation when in place.
In wood, I form a connecting piece of wood, suitably shaped into a more or
less globular form and fitted with a suitable pivoted centre screw, at ench end,
for insertion or attachment into one or other of the two sections of the pole
either directly, or through a suitable socket made for that purpose.

.
In wood, I use a connecting piece of wood shaped into a more or less globular
form at each end and fitted with a suitable pivoted centre screw at each end, for

suitable sockets attached.
and bindicate two metal discs each furnished with a suitable centre screw s
and provided with an aperture d for the insertion of a fixing screw.
The discs are connected by metal pivot joint e which allows them to be set at
any angle necessary. f indicates the wooden connecting piece (in Fig. 2) fur-
nished with two centre screws gg which are pivoted to connecting piece by
pivot screws h h which pass through the suitably formed heads of the centre
screws gg in the manner shown in dotted lines. The centre screws pass through
socket pieces ii and then into the cornice pole.
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:-
1st. The improved metal corner joint for cornice poles and the like, substantially
as described and shown hereinbefore and in the accompanying drawings.
2nd. The improved wood and metal corner joint for cornice poles and the
