the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
An improvement in cornice pole ends made from sheet metal in any suitable
device with a spring clip C shaped attached at the one end or made from the same

I, JABEZ BARNES, of 237, Broad Street, in the City of Birmingham, Stamped
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:-
This invention consists of the herein described improvement in cornice pole ends
to facilitate the attachment of the cornice pole ends to the cornice pole and to
dispense with the usual method now in use of first plugging the open end of the
pole and then screwing the end ornament into the plug.
In carrying out this invention the cornice pole end is made from sheet metal
in any suitable device with a C-shaped spring clip attached at or formed with one
end to grip the cornice, pole tightly and thus fix the cornice pole end on to the
cornice pole and hold the same in the right position. The ends of the spring clip
are curled outwardly so as to avoid scratching or injuring the pole and to facilitate
the springing of the clip on to the same.
My invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings on which Fig. 1 is
an elevation of a cornice pole with the cornice pole ends constructed and fixed to
the pole in accordance with this invention; Fig. 2 is a front elevation of one of
the cornice pole ends on an enlarged scale shewing also a part of the cornice pole
to which the cornice pole end is attached; Fig. 3 is an end view of the same;
Fig. 4 is a plan of the same; Fig. 5 is a front elevation and Fig. 6 is a plan of a
slightly modified form of the said cornice pole end with the spring clip part formed

page_text: in a piece therewith instead of being made separate and attached thereto as in the
arrangement shewn by Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4.
The same letters of reference indicate the same or corresponding parts in all the
figures.
A is the cornice pole end which is made from sheet metal of any suitable device
and B is the C-shaped spring metal clip part of the cornice pole end which is
made of the proper size to grip the cornice pole C tightly and thus fix the cornice
pole end thereto and hold the same in the right position on the cornice pole as
shewn by the drawing. The ends 61 62 of the C-shaped spring clip B are curled
outwardly as shewn in Figs. 3, 4 and 6 so as to avoid scratching or injuring the
pole C and to facilitate the springing of the clip on to the pole as it is only neces-
sary to hold the clip in position against the side of the pole and then to press the
clip on to the pole so that the latter will pass into position within the clip.
In the arrangement of my invention shewn by Figs. 1, 2 and 3 the spring clip
part B is made separate from the ornamental part A of the cornice pole end and
is secured thereto by the clip part B being made with a tongue 63 to take inside the
ornamental part A, this tongue 63 being made with two prongs 64 65 which are
passed through corresponding holes a¹ a² in the ornamental end A and then
clenched down on the outside of the same as shewn.
In the arrangement of my invention shewn by Fig. 5 the ornamental part A
and the spring clip part B are made together from one piece of sheet metal.
It will be evident that the ornamental shape of the cornice pole end may be
varied without departing from the nature of my invention.
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 :-
The herein described improvement in cornice pole ends for the ready attachment
of the same to a cornice pole, consisting in making the sheet metal cornice pole
end with a C-shaped spring clip such as B of the size to grip and hold on the pole
and arranged in the manner substantially as hereinbefore described and illus-
trated by the accompanying drawing.
