=;
The coil protector or shield herein described is substantially the same as that
provided for in my previous patent No. 7611 of 1888. The object of this present
specification is to protect further developments and certain other applications of that
invention.
The coil shield or protector may be struck out in any desirable metal in the form of an
oval or other suitable figure as Figure 1, which is then folded over the coil as in Figure 2,
and secured in position with a solid or hollow rivet as described in my previous patent
hereinbefore referred to as No 7611 of 1888. The sunk or recessed portion A¹ in
Figure 1 may be provided with a cup or cups as see Figure 3 to contain a diamond or
other ornamental stone. Or any desired ornament may be placed in the recess A¹
without a separate cup.
Figure 4 shews the flanges B. B. bent over at an angle to which may be attached
a brooch, label, window ticket, or other such like article. Or the said flanges B. B.
may be left standing as at O in Figure 2 to which the brooch or other article may then
be attached.
Figure 5 shews the coil protector in use as a brooch pin shield or hinge, the coil of
which may be similar to that of an ordinary safety pin as at Q in Figure 6. the brooch
or other article being soldered or otherwise fastened to the flanges B. B as already
mentioned.
Figure 6 represents an ordinary hair or double brooch pin with coil similar to
that of an ordinary safety pin. This pin as at T in Figure 7 may have coil protector
applied as already described and with flange or flanges folded or bent to form cylinder
or hinge for any desired brooch or ornament to be fixed or detachable at will.
Figure 8 shews a brooch or ornament riveted or fastened to the rivet or pin which
passing through the coil fastens the shield together as previously described.
Figure 9 shews the coil protector R having an extension plate S which may be
stamped folded or ornamented to any design as required.
Figure 10 shews an end view and Figure 11 a section of coil protector having
the ends of flanges B. B. upturned & perforated for the reception of a brooch pin K

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Coil Protector for Safety and other Pins, and Attaching
thereto Brooches, Badges, Tickets, or other Artioles.
I JOHN ALCOOK of Cheadle in the County of Stafford, Auctioneer 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 :-
The coil shield or protector may be struck out in any desired metal in the
form of an oval or other suitable figure as Figure 1. This is then bent or folded over
the coil of the pin as shewn at X in Figure 2. The side or sides of coil protector
may be punched in or cupped as shown at A in Figure 1. so as to fill or partly fill
the coil. The sides may then be secured with a solid or hollow rivet substantially us
described in my previous patent No. 7611 of year 1888, As an ornament this sunk

page_text: or recessed portion A¹ in Figure 1 of the coil protector may be provided with a cup or
cups having claws to hold in position a diamond or other ornamental stone Or the
recessed side may have two or more small claws cut out of the inside of recess such
claws being bent up, the stone is inserted and fastened. Or on the back of shield sink
a small shallow circle or recess to hold head of rivet, then sink front of shield in
cup until it meets the back shield, punch a hole through bottom of cup for rivet
to pass through. Then make a hollow cup G as Figure 3 the bottom of which
may be formed like a small eyelet or solid Put cup G in shield recess and rivet
through at back. In order that a brooch or window ticket, label or other such like
article may be attached to the coil protector the upper portion of sides of the protector
Figure 1 may be formed with flanges or lips B. B. then when the shield is fitted over
the coil these lips may be bent over out or inwards as see Figure so as to form a
rešť or rests upon which the brooch label or other desired article may be soldered or
otherwise secured. Or the flanges B. B. may be left standing in a line with sides of
coil protector as at O. Figure 2 and a rivet fitted across so as to form a hinge to which
may be attached any desired article. To render this coil protector applicable as a
brooch pin, the end of pin is formed with a coil similar to a safety pin as at Q Figure 6
to which the coil protector is applied in the manner already described as at Figure 5
the brooch is then fastened to the flanges B. B. Figure 5
Figure 6 is an ordinary hair pin or double brooch pin having coil at end as shewn
at Q Figure 6 This style of pin may have a coil protector applied with a flange or
lip at end, which said lip may be folded to form a hinge to which may be attached any
desired ornament and same may be adjusted to any desired angle see Figure 7.
Or any desired device may be riveted to the centre pin or rivet which passing
through the coil holds same together as see Figure 8.
Figure 9 shews the coil protector R having an extension plate S. which may be
stamped or folded or otherwise ornamented to any required design.
Figure 10 shews an end view and Figure 11 a section of coil protector having the
ends of flanges B. B. upturned and perforated for the reception of a brooch pin K
which pressing on the spring bridge F is held in position.
As a further means of preventing the threading of the fabric, the coil protector may
be formed with a small hole as at A in Figure 12 through which the point of the
safety pin is passed, the coil protector then being secured over the coil of the pin as
already described.
Whilst for large size pins the coil may be filled with a solid or perforated cylinder
of brass or other suitable material through which a separate rivet is passed, for small
size pins the rivet and coil filling may be formed in one piece metal as see Figure 13.
the ends of the cylinder being left as a small rivet which projecting through the plate
of coil protector fastens same together.
Figure 14 shows the adaptability of the coil protector for purposes of ornamentation
or for strengthening the back of the safety pin, and is simply an elongation of
one side of the coil protector A which is then twisted spirally around the upper bar
of pin.
For the purpose of illustrating this invention I desire to adopt the sheet of drawings
left with the provisional specification containing Figures 1 to 11 and also the sheet of
drawings herewith containing Figures 12 to 14.
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 coil protector for safety and other pins and the various methods of attaching
saine to brooches and other articles substantially as described in this specification and
as illustrated by the drawings herewith and numbered Figures 1 to 14 respectively.
