I WILLIAM CUTLER of 391 Summer Lane, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick,
Glass Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as
follows:-
The object of my invention is to manufacture glass covers and stands, for covering,
protecting and exhibiting various articles for which such covers are adapted.
In one form of my invention, I unite the cylindrical portion of the cover with the
flat top thereof, by joining the same together by means of a metallic rim fitted round
the upper edge.
A metallic rim is also fitted to the lower edge. Such rims protect the glass and
also impart an ornamental appearance thereto.
In another form of my invention the flat top is made moveable: the cylindrical
portion of the cover being fitted with a metallic rim at each end-above and below.
The upper rim is formed to receive the metallic rim of the flat cover, with a close
but easy fit.
The top of the cover is fitted with a knob or handle, having one or more screw or
screws passing through the glass top, and secured thereto by a nut or nuts, so as to
be capable of removal, for the purpose of packing.
The stands are made to receive the lower ends of the cylindrical covers; and such
stands may be made of glass or any other suitable material.
It is obvious that both the form and arrangements above described will admit of
considerable variation.

WILLIAM CUTLER of 391 Summer Lane Birmingham in the County of Warwick
Glass Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement:-
The object of my invention is to manufacture glass covers and stands for covering,
protecting and exhibiting various articles for which such covers are adapted.
In one form of my invention I unite the cylindrical portion of the cover with the
flat top thereof by joining the same together by means of a metallic rim fitted round
the upper edge.
A metallic rim is also fitted to the lower edge. Such rims protect the glass and
also impart an ornamental appearance thereto. In another form of my invention the
flat top is made movable the cylindrical portion of the cover being fitted with a
metallic rim at each end above and below.
The upper rim is formed to receive the metallic rim of the flat cover, with a
close but easy fit.
In another form the lower part is fitted to the stand and the lid only is made
movable.
The top of the cover is fitted with a knob or handle having one or more screw
or screws passing through the glass top and secured thereto by a nut or nuts, so
as to be capable of removal, for the purpose of packing.
The stands are made to receive the lower ends of the cylindrical covers: and such
stands may be made of glass or any other suitable material.
It is obvious that both the form and arrangements above described will admit of
considerable variation.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascertained,
reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings in which similar letters of
reference indicate corresponding parts.

cylindrical portion e e.
In Fig. 4 the lid a only is shewn detachable, the cylindrical portion e e being fixed
to the stand f.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
1. The manufacture and use of cylindrical covers and stands formed of glass and
metal, the metal being used to unite the several parts or some of them, and also
to impart an ornamental appearance thereto substantially as and for the purposes
herein before described and shewn on the drawings.
2. The general construction, arrangement and combination of the several and
respective parts together forming my improvements in glass covers and stands,
substantially as hereinbefore described and shewn on the drawings.
