PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Bedstead and like Mounts and
Terminal Ornaments..
I, WILLIAM HENRY BAGLEY, of Viaduct Works, Aston, in the County of.
Warwick, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
:-
This invention relates to the manner in which I construct and arrange bedstead
and like mounts and vases in combination and has for its object to dispense with
the usual cast metal neck that is at present employed in connection with the vase,
and to strengthen the mount and vase when in position upon the bedstead.
In carrying my invention into effect I construct my mounts with the vase or
terminal portion of metal formed in the usual manner, and I attach thereto a neck
formed of sheet metal spun into the desired configuration instead of employing a
cast metal neck for the attachment purposes.
I dispense with the neck as usually understood in the trade and adapt the upper
part of the top mount as a neck to hold the vase or terminal part. For this
purpose I divide the top mount into two separate parts and stiffen and strengthen
the planes of attachment by means of iron or other metal plates so that the centre
part of the top mount has by my invention a plane of junction which is very strong
and free from liability to easily collapse or dent. The said plates are perforated
and carry screws necessary for firm attachment. to each other and the bedstead
pillar.
I cause the two portions of the complete mount to be brought together and to
form one even and regular outline by fixing within each meeting surface a disc or
washer of steel or other suitable inetal, and preferably arranged with rings or
projections and recesses.so as to fit one portion upon the other and thus to preserve
a true or regular outline when in position.
Upon or within the upper meeting surface plate or strengthening disc I secure a
nut or pommel to receive the screw upon the bedstead rail or to receive the end of
the rod to which the mount is to be attached.
I modify the shape and configuration of my mounts to suit any desired require-
ment. employing in each case the divided top mount and the independent nut
carried within the strengthening plate of the said top mount.
I make my mounts with holes for receiving bedstead rails in the usual manner
and I attach any other knob or ornamental device that it may be desired to display
therefrom in the usual manner.

Terminal Ornaments.
I, WILLIAM HENRY BAGLEY, of Viaduct Works, Aston, in the County of
Warwick, 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 the manner in which I construct and arrange bedstead and
like mounts and vases in combination, and has for its object to dispense with the
usual cast metal neck that is at present employed in connection with the vase, and
to strengthen the mount and vase when in position upon the bedstead.
In the accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings
:-
Figure 1 is a front elevation of an ordinary mount and vase constructed in
accordance with my present invention for attachment to a bedstead rod, and
Figure 2 is a sectional elevation of the same.
Figure 3 is a front elevation of another form of vase and mount constructed
in the same improved manner.
Figures 4 to 11 are detail views of the parts employed in constructing the
mounts.
In carrying my invention into effect I construct my mounts with the vase or
terminal portion A of metal formed in the usual manner, shown in elevation at
Figure 4 and in plan at Figure 5, and I attach thereto a neck B, shown in detail
elevation and plan at Figures 6 and 7 formed of sheet metal spun into the desired
configuration instead of employing a cast metal neck for the attachment purposes.
I dispense with the neck as usually understood in the trade and adapt the upper
part of the top mount B, as a neck to hold the vase or terminal part A. For
this purpose I divide the mount into two separate parts A, B, and stiffen and
strengthen the planes of attachment by means of iron, or other metal plates C,
shown in plan at Figure 8 and sectional elevation at Figure 9, so that the centre
part of the top mount has by my invention a plane of junction which is very
strong and free from liability to easily collapse or dent. The said plates C, C³,
are perforated and carry a screw necessary for firm attachment to each other and
the bedstead pillar D.
I cause the two portions A, B, of the complete mount to be brought together,
and to form one even and regular outline by fixing within each meeting surface a
disc or washer C C' of iron, steel or other suitable metal, and preferably arranged
with rings or projections and recesses c so as to fit one portion upon the other as
shown in Figure 2 and thus to preserve a true or regular outline when in position.
Upon or within the upper meeting surface plate or strengthening disc C I secure
a nut or pommel E shown in detail plan and sectional elevation at Figures 10 and 11
to receive the screw d, upon the bedstead rail or to receive the end of the rod to
which the mount is to be attached.
I modify the shape and configuration of my mounts A, B, A', B¹, to suit any
desired requirement employing in each case the divided top mount, and the
independent nut E carried within the strengthening plate.C of the said top mount.
I make my mounts with bosses and holes G for receiving bedstead rails in the
usual manner and I attach any other knob or ornamental device that it may be
desired to display therefrom in the usual manner.
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 :-
1. The combination of a metal upper or terminal mount or vase with a lower

page_text: mount or neck piece having stiffening plates or joining discs, arranged within, and
having an independent nut or pommel attached to the upper junction or stiffening
plate substantially as, and for the purposes hereinbefore described, and as illustrated
in the accompanying drawings.
2. In a bedstead or like mount, the construction and arrangement of metal joint
discs or plates for strengthening and stiffening the mounts, and for permitting the
two portions of the mount to be kept truly together substantially as hereinbefore
described and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
