PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvement in Cupboard Turns and Lock Furniture.
I, JAMES COLLINS 26 Cumberland Street. Birmingham Brassfounder do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists of an improved method of connecting the knob (or handle)
to the rose and an improved arrangement of the tongue
cap.
I make the knob in two parts. The knob proper may he made of wood meta
or other suitable material to which I affix a collar of metal this collar fits in a
recess in the back of the rose & is arranged to receive the spindle. The rose has
a hole which enables it to go easily on to the neck of the knob & a recess for the
collar it is slipped on to the neck of the knob before the collar is fastened on.
Then when the rose is screwed on to the door the collar lies in the recess & secures
the knob in position while leaving it free to turn.
This part of my invention I apply to lock furniture.
The tongue (or buckle) has a square hole in it through which the spindle passes
& it also has a projecting boss upon it fitting into a hole in the cap.
The cap is a piece of metal bent or shaped so that when screwed on the inner
side of the door the tongue is held in its place the boss on the tongue working in a
hole in the cap.
The various parts having been fixed upon the door in their relative positions the
knob will then move the tongue (or turn buckle) in the usual manner.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvement in Cupboard Turns and Lock Furniture.
I, JAMES COLLINS 26 Cumberland Street Birmingham Brassfounder 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 consists of an improved method of connecting the knob or (handle)
to the rose and an improved arrangement for adjusting the tongue to various
thicknesses of wood.

On referring to the drawings it will be seen that I make the knob in two parts.
The knob proper "A" may be made of wood, china, metal, or other suitable
material, to it I affix a collar "C" of brass or other suitable material, this collar
has a flange "f" fitting into a recess in the rose "B" and also carries or receives
the spindle "h." The rose < B can be made of any suitable material and has a
hole through it which enables it to go easily on to the neck of the knob A & a
recess to receive the flange "" of the collar "C" the rose is slipped on to the
neck of the knob "A and the collar "C" is then affixed in the usual manner by
spinning, soldering or cementing it to the neck.

The rose "B" being screwed on to the door the flange "" of the collar "C"
lies in the recess in the rose "B" & secures the knob "A" to the door while
leaving it free to turn in the usual manner.
This part of my invention I apply to lock furniture as shown in drawing No. 3.
The tongue or buckle "E" is made of metal or other suitable material and has
a square hole in it through which the spindle passes and it has also a projecting
boss upon it which fits into a hole in the cap "D" The cap "D" is a piece of

page_text: brass or other suitable material having a hole which fits the boss on the tongue "E"
and it is so bent or shaped that when screwed on the inside of the door the tongue
is held in position.
The various parts having been fixed on the door as shown in drawing No. 2 the
knob "A" moves the tongue "E" in the usual manner the spindle "h" sliding
through the tongue "E" to suit the varying thicknesses of wood.
Drawing No. 1 shows the various parts seperately of the cupboard turn. "A" is
the knob; "B" is the rose, "C" is the collar, "D" is the cap."E" is the tongue
or buckle.
Drawing No. 2 shows the several parts fixed on a door the same letters indicating
the same parts.
Drawing No. 3 shows a'lock' knob fixed on a door and the same letters indicate
similar parts.
I do not bind myself to the particular forms shown nor to the particular purposes
indicated as the shapes of the various parts may be modified in various ways, and
the applications also to suit similar requirements.
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 connecting the knob & rose by a collar substantially as
described and drawn.
2. The method of affixing and adjusting the tongue or turn buckle substantially
as described and drawn.
