Year: 1885

page_text: I EDWARD COLLIER of Barker Street Parade Birmingham in the County of
Warwick Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN ATTACHING KNOBS TO THEIR SPINDLES to be as follows:-
:-
This invention has for its object the prevention of the working out of the screw.
which passes through the neck of the knob into the spindle and consists in
attaching to the neck of the knob a metal collar pierced with a hole to receive the
screw this collar having upon it a loose ring incapable of being removed but
capable of being turned round the collar this ring is also pierced to admit of the
screw passing through To fix the knob with its collar attached it is placed on the
spindle the holes through the collar and ring are brought opposite one another
the screw is passed through the hole in the ring and screwed into the collar and
spindle and the ring is then turned round so that the solid portion of the ring
instead of the hole being over the screw it cannot work out.

page_text: in attaching to the neck of the knob a metal collar pierced with a hole to receive
the screw, this collar having upon it a loose ring incapable of being removed, but
capable of being turned round the collar. This ring is also pierced to admit of the
screw passing through. Or this ring may be upon the neck of the knob without
the use of the metal collar To fix the knob with the collar attached it is placed on
the spindle the holes through the collar and ring are brought opposite one another
the screw is passed through the hole in the ring and screwed into the collar and
spindle and the ring is, then turned round so that the solid portion of the ring
instead of the hole being over the screw it cannot work out, a spring or other
catch may be used to prevent the possibility of the ring turning out of position.
Refferring to the drawings Fig. 1. is a section through a knob shewing the
spindle and other parts with the ring in one position. Fig. 2 is a similar section
with the ring in another position and Fig. 3 is a view of a complete set of knobs
and spindles (a) is the inetal collar attached to the knob (b) which metal collar
is pierced with a hole to receive the screw (c) (d) is a loose ring incapable of
being removed from off the collar, but capable of being turned round upon it.
fix the knob (b) it is placed with its collar (c) in the rose (e) over the spindle (f)
the hole (d') in the ring (d) is brought over the hole in the collar (a) as shewn in
Fig. 1. the screw (c) is inserted as shewn in Figs. 1 and 3 through the hole (d³)
into the hole in the collar (a) and through the spindle (f) the ring (d) is then
turned round so that the solid part of it will cover the head of the screw as shewn
in Fig. 2. and it will be impossible for the screw to come out, unless the ring (d) is
turned round so as to expose the head of the screw as shewn in Fig. 3.
To
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 in attaching knobs to their spindles by placing a ring upon
the neck of the knob as herein set forth and specified for the purpose of preventing
the screw which holds the knob upon the spindle from coming out.
