PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Fancy Nail, chiefly designed for use in Upholstery
Work.
We CLAUDE WILLIAM BUCKLE, of 20 Cambridge Road, Avenue, Civil
Engineer, and CHARLES HINDLE, of 120 Bevois Valley Road, Tea-taster, both
of Southampton in the County of Hampshire, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows
Our invention relates to nails and the main object of our said invention is to
provide fancy nails of improved form for use in upholstery, and such like, work.
Nails now ordinarily used for such work are made in two parts, the heads being
stamped in the desired form and the shanks afterwards soldered to the heads, in
driving such nails the heads are often damaged and the shanks bent or broken off
where soldered to the heads rendering the nail useless in either event.
In making nails according to our invention we provide a fancy head, and in
stamping same arrange that the centre of head shall be driven inwards thereby
forming a socket under the head-out of the part so driven in-of any desired
length.
We further provide solid headed nails the shanks of same being of any desired
length and slightly smaller in diameter than the internal diameter of the said
socket, and the heads will be larger in diameter than the internal diameter of the
socket.
The bottom part of socket may in some cases be toothed, or serrated and project
somewhat beyond the fancy head so that the latter may be, by slight pressure,
fixed temporarily in the desired position before driving the nail to permanently
fix it.
To permanently fix the fancy head the headed nail is passed through the socket
and driven home until its head bears upon the outside of the fancy head without
injuring same, the head of the headed or drive-nail will then cover the recess or
socket formed in the fancy head and to all appearance will shew as a part of the
latter.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Fancy Nail, chiefly designed for use in Upholstery
Work.
We, CLAUDE WILLIAM BUCKLE, of 20 Cambridge Road, Avenue, Civil
Engineer, and CHARLES HINDLE, of 120 Bevois Valley Road, Teataster, hoth
of Southampton, in the County of Hampshire, 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 :-
Our invention relates to nails, and the main object of our said invention is to
provide fancy nails of improved form for use in upholstery, and such like work.
In order that our invention may be fully understood we will proceed to describe
same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which :-
Fig. 1. is a side elevation of a nail constructed according to our invention.
Fig. 2. a plan on top of same.
Fig. 3. a sectional elevation.

soldered to the heads, in driving such nails the heads are often damaged and the
shanks bent or broken off where soldered to the heads rendering the nail useless
in either event.
In making a nail according to our invention we provide a head B stamped in any
desired fancy pattern and in stamping same arrange that a part of the head at the
centre shall be driven inwards so as to form-out of the part so driven in-a
socket C, under the head of any desired diameter or length.
We further provide a solid headed drive nail D, the shank of same being of any
desired length and slightly smaller in diameter than the internal diameter of the
socket C, and the head E of the drive nail will be somewhat larger in diameter
than the internal diameter of the socket.
The bottom part of socket at e may in some cases be toothed or serrated and
project somewhat beyond the underside of the fancy head B, so that the latter may
be, by slight pressure, fixed temporarily in the desired position, before driving the
nail D, to permanently fix the fancy head.
To permanently fix the whole the drive nail is passed through the socket and
driveu home until its head bears upon the top of the fancy head without injuring
same, the head of the drive nail will then cover the recess or socket formed in the
fancy head and to all appearance will shew as a part of the latter.
It is obvious that our improved fancy nail may be advantageously used for other
purposes, as a nail, than for upholstery work, and that without departing from the
nature of our invention we may somewhat modify the form, for instance the fancy
head may be in shape in plan other than circular as illustrated in the accompanying
drawing, and it may be embellished by having various fancy designs stamped or
otherwise formed upon same.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
-claim is :-
The improved fancy nail consisting of the head B formed with a socket C
adapted for taking a drive nail D all constructed, arranged and combined
substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying
drawings.
