Improvements in Bedstead Mounts, and the Method of
Manufacturing the same.
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 mounts employed for bedsteads and the method of
manufacturing them, whereby I am enabled to produce a mount of much greater
strength and stability having less brass or other more expensive metal employed
than is possible with the existing systems of construction adopted for producing
such mounts.
In carrying my invention into effect I make the mount of any desired shape
suitable for the purpose of attaching to the bedstead rails and the like, and I make
the body of the mount from two plates of metal, the one being for forming an inner
shield of a stronger metal such as steel or iron, and the other the covering or outer
case of brass or more expensive metal forming the polished surface. Thus the
inner shell or protecting core plate or shield having the form of the inner portion
of the mount serves to protect the outer surfaces of the mount from injury, and
permits of very thin metal being employed to coat or cover the inner shell of
I make
steel or other less expensive material than that forming the outer case.
my inner shell of steel preferably in the form of a disc or plate which I cut from
a sheet of metal and I press or force the plate or disc to form a cup or case of the
shape necessary to carry the outer casing of the mount. I produce a cup or shell
in any ordinary manner by presses employed for like purposes, but I construct the
case or cup in my improved manner by forming the disc or washer of metal from
which the cup is made with a number of openings or triangular spaces left within
the disc, so that when the disc is pressed into a cup there will be less straining of
the metal to bring the disc into its required shape than is caused when the solid
plate is drawn or forced into that shape; and by this system of forming the cup
I am enabled to employ a steel plate without the necessity of annealing the same
after the cupping operation. I prefer to make the disc with its leaves of such a
form that when pressed up into the cup the surfaces of the leaves are brought
together to form the shell, although I may sometimes arrange that there shall be
slight spaces between them after they have been drawn into the required cup like
form.
I place the metal disc for the outer portion of the mount beneath the inner cup
and draw the one on to the other through dies or presses or drawbenches in the
usual well known manner, and I spin or turn' over the bottom or top of the mount.
to close the outer case on to the inner shell or to make a connection with any other
portion of the ornament or knob which it may be necessary to attach it to.
I do not limit the application of my invention to any particular type of mount
but I modify the shape and configuration of the cup and the mount to suit any
particular requirement.

page_text: Improvements in Bedstead Mounts, and the Method of
Manufacturing the same.
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 mounts employed for bedsteads and the method of
manufacturing them, whereby I am enabled to produce a mount of much greater
strength and stability having less brass or other more expensive metal employed
than is possible with the existing systems of construction adopted for producing
such mounts.
In the accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings to be hereinafter referred
to :-
This form
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation and Figure 2 a plan representing one form of
my improved mount; the neck is indicated in dotted lines in Figure 1.
Figures 3 and 4 are similar views of another form of cap or mount.
is preferably used for a cap although it may be used for a mount.
Figures 5, 6, and 7, illustrate my improved method of constructing the inner
shell or case of the mount.
The same reference letters in the different views indicate the same parts.
In carrying my invention into effect I make the mount of any desired shape
suitable for the purpose of attaching to the bedstead rails and the like, and I make
the body of the mount from two plates of metal. The plate B forms an inner
strengthening core and is constructed preferably from steel or iron, whilst the outer
plate A is constructed from brass or other more expensive metal, forms the
exterior surface of the mount. Thus the inner shell or protecting core plate or
shield having the form of the inner portion of the mount serves to protect the
outer surfaces of the mount from injury, and permits of very thin metal being
employed to coat or cover the inner shell of steel or other less expensive material
than that forming the outer case or envelope. I may make my inner shell of iron or
steel preferably in the form of a disc or plate which I cut from a sheet of metal
and I press or force the plate or disc to form a cup or case of the shape necessary
to carry the outer casing of the mount. I also produce a cup or shell for the brass
or like casing in any ordinary manner by presses employed for similar purposes.
I preferably construct the inner shell of iron or steel in my improved manner by
so cutting or forming the disc or washer of metal from which the said shell is made
as to provide a number of openings or triangular spaces such as C Figure 5 in
order that when the disc is pressed into cup or like shape there will be less
straining of the metal to bring the disc into the required shape than is caused by
pressing, drawing, or forcing the solid plate, and by this improved system of
forming the cup for the inner shell I am enabled to employ a steel or iron plate
without the necessity of annealing the same after the cupping operation. I prefer
to make the disc with its leaves or wings D of such dimensions that when pressed
up into the cup the surfaces of the leaves are brought together to form the inner
shell as illustrated at Figures 6 and 7, although I may sometimes arrange that
there shall be slight spaces between them after they have been drawn into the
required cup like form.
When the inner shell is formed and the brass or other outer case is complete I
unite the two by slipping the inner shell within the casing and striking them
together by a blow while held in a suitable die. I thus produce close and
homogeneous contact throughout.

page_text: I sometimes place the metal disc for the outer portion of the mount beneath the
inner cup and draw the one on to the other through dies or presses or drawbenches
in the usual well-known manner, and I spin or turn over the bottom or top of the
mount to close the outer case on to the inner shell or to make a connection with
any other portion of the ornament or knob which it may be necessary to attach
it to.
I do not limit the application of my invention to any particular type of mount
but I modify the shape and configuration of the cup and the mount to suit any
particular requirement.
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 improved bedstead mount consisting of an inner shell or core of steel,
iron, or other strong metal, fitting within an outer casing or envelope of brass or
ornamental metal substantially as herein described.
2. The construction of an inner shell or core for a bedstead mount, having leaves
or wings arranged to be pressed or formed to the required shape, substantially as
and for the purposes herein described.
