PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Attaching Door Knobs to Spindles.
SAMUEL WELTON JOHNSON Hardware Merchant 16 Moseley Street Birmingham
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
An improved method of attaching door knobs to their spindles, whereby they can
readily be attached or removed, I hereby describe my invention as applied to a set
of door knobs for a mortise lock.
The knob on the outside of the door is fixed immoveably upon a square spindle,
the other end of the spindle being screwed on its angles, for adjusting the moveable
knob.
Upon the screwed end of the spindle, I slide up the moveable oblong key A close
to the door, I then screw up the knob which has a worm or thread inside, on the
screwed end of the spindle until it comes close up to the oblong key A. The key A
is then pushed back into the recess B, in the seat of the knob, which then fixes the
knob and prevents it being drawn back, a small space of about a quarter of an inch,
is then left between the knob and the door, I then push the knob close up to the
door, which then leaves a similar space on the outside of the door. I then insert
the wedge C into the open space outside and down over the spindle, the knobs are
then securely fixed, I then fix the roses D and screw same to the door, which
covers in and secures the key and wedge.
The drawings show sectional view of the door furniture as fixed on a door.
Fig. 1 shows the set of door furniture with the key A pushed up, and the knob
being screwed up to it, when the key will be pushed into the recess, and the knob
on the other side being pulled draws the moveable knob close up to the door.
Fig. 2 shows the set of furniture after the moveable knob has been drawn close
to the door, and also shows that the space left between the outside knob and the
door has been filled in with the wedge C.
Fig. 3, shows Fig. 2 after the roses D have been fixed, covering all parts
securely in.

SAMUEL WELTON JOHNSON Hardware Merchant 16 Moseley Street Birmingham
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 :-
The object of this invention is an improved method of attaching door knobs to
their spindles whereby they can be readily be attached or removed as shown in
.

page_text: drawings with. Provisional Specification. I herewith describe my invention, as
applied to a set of door knobs for a mortise lock.
The knob on the outside of the door is fixed immoveably upon a square spindle,
the other end of the spindle being screwed on its angles for adjusting the moveable
knob.
Upon the screwed end of the spindle I slide the moveable oblong key A up close
to the door, I then screw up the knob which has a worm or thread inside, on the
screwed end of the spindle until it comes close up to the oblong key A, the key A
is then pushed back into the recess B in the seat of the knob, which then fixes the
knob and prevents it from being screwed back, a small space of about a quarter of
an inch is then left between the knob and the door, I then push the knob close up
up to the door which then leaves a similar space on the outside, in which I insert
the wedge C and down over the spindle, and the door handles are then firmly fixed,
I then fix the roses D and screw them to the door, covering and securing the key
and wedge.

The drawings show sectional view of the door furniture as fixed on a door.
Fig. 1 shows the door furniture with the key A pushed up and the knob being.
screwed up to it when the key will be pushed into the recess, and the knob being
pulled on other side, pulls the moveable knob close up to the door.
