Improvements in or connected with the Ornamentation of Bedsteads.
J, WILLIAM HARRY DAVIS, of Anchor Works, Macdonald Street, in the City of
Birmingham, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be.
as follows:-
:―
This invention relates to improvements in or connected with the ornamentation
of metallic bedsteads, by means of the combination of ornamental metallic mounts
with encaustic, or enamelled or other ornamental panels, encased, framed, or
otherwise carried upon the said metallic bedstead.
In carrying out my invention, I provide upon the bedstead end a frame-like
recess, or recesses at two or more points, in which may be laid and secured the
panel, by means of screws or other device. I now provide an ornamental frame,
preferably metallic, which shall surround the panel, or such portions of the
panel as may be desirable, which said frame is secured to the bedstead end parts,
by screws &c., and in most cases such screws would serve to simultaneously
secure the ornamental frame and the panel.
By these means I produce a very effective combination of ornamentation, in a
simple and ready manner.
Dated this 8th day of March 1899.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with the Ornamentation of Bedsteads.
I, WILLIAM HARRY Davis, of Anchor Works, Macdonald Street, in the City of
Birmingham, 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 or connected with the ornamentation
of metallic bedsteads, by means of the combination of ornamental metallic mounts
with encaustic, or enamelled or other ornamental panels, encased, framed, or
otherwise carried upon the said metallic bedstead.
In carrying out my invention, I provide upon the bedstead end a frame-like
recess, or recesses at two or more points, in which may be laid and secured the
panel, by means of screws or other device. I now provide an ornamental frame,
preferably metallic, which shall surround the panel, or such portions of the
panel as may be desirable, which said frame is secured to the bedstead end parts,
by screws &c., and in most cases such screws would serve to simultaneously
secure the ornamental frame and the panel.

page_text: 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 the several views to the same thing or part.
Fig. 1, is a general end view of a bedstead, showing how this my invention
may be arranged thereon.
Fig. 2, is an enlarged detached view of the invention.
Fig. 3, shows a sectional view of the invention on line A-B Fig. 2.
Fig. 4, is a front view of the casting with the ornamental parts removed.
6, is a framelike casting formation, having the recesses 7 and 8. 9, is the
panel which is laid in recess 8. 10, is an ornamental frame, having a cut away
central part of any desired pattern to accommodate the tile or panel 9. This
frame having been placed over the panel 9, the whole is secured by screw pins 11.
It will be readily seen that the shapes of the several parts may be varied accord-
ing to taste without departure from the manner of ornamentation.
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. Ornamenting metallic bedsteads by means of the combination of ornamental
metallic front frames 10, and central encaustic or enamelled panel 9, embedded
in cast chill upon bedstead end, all as set forth and shown upon the drawings.
Dated this 6th day of November 1899.
