PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Thin Sheet Metal Ornamental Mounts for Bedsteads
and other Articles.
I, FRAZIER MAKEPIECE, of Lawrence Lane, Old Hill, in the County of Stafford,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in thin sheet metal mounts such as
vases, spindles, knobs, &c. which are used for the ornamentation of bedsteads,
fenders, and other similar structural work, and consists as follows:-
Such mounts are made of metal as thin as permissible for the usage they are
likely to receive, but frequently they become dented and disfigured by reason
of their weakness.
According to this my invention, I make a core or lining of wrought or cast
metal upon which the thin shell of the mount may be made or secured so that the
latter shall be thus internally supported against injury to its shape from external
violence, preferably where permissible the said lining or core is made of wrought
metal tubing, or other similarly formed wrought metal, whereby lightness may
be obtained with strength.
Dated this 30th day of September 1898.

1, FRAZIER MAKEPEACE, of Lawrence Lane, Old Hill, in the County of Stafford,
Manufacturer, 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 thin sheet metal mounts which are
used for the ornamentation of bedsteads, fenders, and other similar structural
work, and consists as follows:-
Such mounts are made of metal as thin as permissible for the usage they are
likely to receive, but frequently they become dented and disfigured by reason
of their weakness.
According to this my invention, I make a core or lining of wrought or cast
metal upon which the thin shell of the mount may be made or secured so that the
latter shall be thus internally supported against injury to its shape from external

metal tubing, or other similarly formed wrought metal, whereby lightness may
be obtained with strength.
In order to more clearly explain this my invention, I have appended hereunto
an illustrative drawing upon which are figures and numbers of reference, similar
numbers referring throughout to the same thing, and in which :-
Fig. 1, is a part sectional elevation of a mount constructed according to this
my invention.
Fig. 2, is a cross sectional view on line A-B Fig. 1.
4, is a mount for instance, usually employed for bedstead ornamentation.
Within the part 5, I fix the tubular lining 6, which forms a firm support thereto,
and protection against injurious indentation from the exterior. The lower end 7,
of the casing is closed over to conceal and secure the lining. 8, is a screwthread
by which the mount may be fixed upon a spindle, or otherwise if desired the said
spindle may pass straight through such mount.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is -
1. Internally supporting the spindle parts of thin sheet metal mounts by means
of a tubular lining, combined and arranged as set forth and shown.
