PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Attaching Rosettes and other Metal Ornaments to
Metallic Bedsteads and Metal Castings.
We BERNARD RICHARD PEYTON Metallic Bedstead Manufacturer of
Bordesley Works Birmingham and JOSEPH PITT, Modeller of 12 Belchers
Lane Little Bromwich near Birmingham both in the County of Warwick do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
This invention relates to improvements in the method and means' of attaching
rosettes and other metal ornaments to metallic bedsteads and metal castings.
Such ornaments have hitherto usually been attached to their positions by means
of a screw pin cast in the chill-the ornament being passed thereon and secured! by
a small screw knob.
Now our present invention consists in casting the beforementioned chill in such a
way as to have a hollow in it slightly larger than the ornament to be secured to it
but with a projecting edge-to make this clearer the bottom of the hollow is
larger than the top so forming a projecting edge.
'The ornament can then be dropped into it and either by a blow or by pressure
or other suitable means its edges can be spread out under the projecting edges
round the hole and so the ornament is secured in its position.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements, in. Attaching Rosettes and other Metal Ornaments to
Metallic Bedsteads and Metal Castings.
We, BERNARD RICHARD PEYTON, Metallic Bedstead Manufacturer, of
Bordesley Works, Birmingham, and JOSEPH 'PITT, Modeller, of 12 Belchers
Lane, Little Bromwich near Birmingham, both in the County of Warwick, 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 relates to improvements in the method and means of attaching
rosettes and other metal ornaments to metallic bedsteads and metal castings.
Such ornaments have hitherto usually been attached or fixed in position by
means of a screw-pin cast in the chill-the ornament being passed thereon and
screwed by a small screw knob, or in other analogous ways.
Now our present invention is as follows: We cast the before mentioned chill in
such a way as to have a hollow in it slightly larger than the ornament to be
secured to it but with a projecting edge-to make this clearer the bottom of the
hollow is larger than the top so forming an overhanging or projecting edge or in
other words a dovetail or undercut recess.
The rosette or ornament to be attached is made of a size to allow same to just
pass between the nearest points of the overhanging sides of the dovetail recess and
such ornament is suitably formed so as to be capable of expanding or spreading-
out edgeways when subjected to a smart blow or blows or other pressure. Such
ornament is dropped or placed in said recess and either by a blow or blows or by
pressure or by other suitable means its edges are spread out under the projecting
ID 7

page_text: edges round the hole or recess and so the ornament is firmly and permanently
secured in its position.
And in order that our invention may be the more easily understood and readily
carried into practice we will proceed to further describe same with reference to
the drawings annexed.
Fig. 1 shows a side section of a chill-casting A the dotted lines showing the
form or shape of the hollow space or dovetail recess B before mentioned in the
face of the chill-casting A.
Fig. 2 shows an edge view of an ornament or rosette C to be fixed in the chill.
Fig. 3 shows a suitable punch or force D shaped at the bottom in such a way as
to fit the rosette C.
We take the rosette C (or any similar or suitable ornament) and drop it into the
space denoted by B, Fig. 1, in the chill-casting. We then place the punch D, or
any similar instrument, on the face of the rosette or ornament and striking one or
more smart blows on it force the edges of the rosette C under the projecting
edges B shown in Fig. 1, thus firmly fixing it in its position as shewn in Fig. 4,
without screwing rivetting or any separate fastenings.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is,
1. Attaching rosettes or other metal ornaments to metallic bedsteads or metal
castings by forcing out the edges of the ornament under the overhanging edges of
a recess cast or formed in the casting or part to be ornamented.
2. In metallic bedsteads or metal castings we claim the combination therewith of
a dovetail or undercut recess the over-hanging edges of which latter secure the
rosette or other metal ornament in position after the edges of said ornament have
been punched or forced out under such overhanging edges.
