IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF FRAMES FOR BAGS, PURSES AND SIMILAR ARTICLES
Year: 1885

page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
I ERNST PFEIFFER of 63 Queen Victoria Street in the City of London,
Merchant do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN THE MANUFACTURE OF FRAMES FOR BAGS, PURSES AND SIMILAR ARTICLES
"
(a communication from Messieurs Huppe and Bender of Offenbach-on-the-Main
in the Empire of Germany, Manufacturers) to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved method of manufacturing ornamental
frames for bags, purses and the like whereby a superior article is produced in a
cheaper manner than hitherto.
°
Hitherto the ornamental surfaces of such articles have been produced by
engraving, or by means of dies and pressure; the first method is very expensive,
and the latter method when applied to a plate of the usual thickness and strength
does not give good results. .
According to my invention I make the frame of the bag or other article in the
usual manner, and I produce the required ornamented surface by stamping a meta!
plate sufficiently thin to take a sharp and clear impression of the required design-
This prepared plate is then fixed by solder or otherwise to the surface to be
ornamented.

DIECIFICATION,
I ERNST PFEIFFER of 63 Queen Victoria Street in the city of London, Merchant
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANU-
FACTURE OF FRAMES FOR BAGS, PURSES AND SIMILAR ARTICLES" (a communication
from Messieurs Huppe and Bender of Offenbach-on-the-Main in the Empire of
Germany, Manufacturers) 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 an improved method of manufacturing ornamental
frames for bags, purses and the like whereby a superior article is produced in a
cheaper manner than hitherto.
Hitherto the ornamental surfaces of such articles have been produced by
engraving or by means of dies and pressure; the first method is very expensive,
and the latter method when applied to a plate of the usual thickness and strength
does not give good results.
According to my invention I make the frame of the bag or other article in the
usual manner and I produce the required ornamented surface by stamping a metal
plate sufficiently thin to take a sharp and clear impression of the required design-
This prepared plate is then fixed by solder or otherwise to the surface to be
ornamented.
In the accompanying drawing figure 1 is a developed plan of a frame for a bag
illustrating the manner of carrying, out my invention and figure 2 a section on
line A B of figure 1.
u
a, is the bag frame made in the usual manner and plain on the surface, b, is the
thin metal. plate stamped with the required ornament and soldered or otherwise
fixed to the bag frame

I have illustrated any invention as.applied to a bag frame, but it will be obvious
that it is also applicable to other articles.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
#
The method herein described of ornamenting frames for bags, purses and the
like, by stamping the required ornaments out of thin sheet metal and then fixing
the same to the frame or other article substantially as hereinbefore described and
illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
