IMPROVEMENTS IN LOCK-FURNITURE AND ITS CONNECTIONS
Year: 1885

page_text: I WILLIAM TRUBSHAW of Wood Street and Cemetery Road Willenhall, Stafford-
shire Hardwood Turner do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN LOCK-FURNITURE AND ITS CONNECTIONS to be as follows:-
Fig. 1. is a sectional elevation of a Follower-bush made in any metal and
attached either to the lock-plate or to the door by screws or rivets or may form
part of the plate itself.
When a screwed spindle (commonly called Duce's spindle) is used, the Follower-
bush forms part of the follower itself as shown in Figs. 3. and 4.
Fig. 2. is a plan of the Follower-bush and shown attached to a lock-plate P. P.
O is the follower, H is the spindle-hole.
B is the Follower-bush.
F is the flange of the Follower-bush.
S is a slot in the flange through which in fixing the furniture the tut on the
knob or handle, T, Fig. 3. passes into the groove under the bush-flange, F, and this.
tut is turned round to the position shown in Fig. 3 and the knob or handle is
secure on the door.
Fig. 3, is a sectional elevation of the modification necessary when Duce's spindle
is used instead of the common spindle.
The Follower-bush B is constructed a part of the follower instead of separate but
is of the same shape and action, but, to prevent the knob or handle revolving, a
screw or a peg, Fig. 3, R. R. passes through or passes by the spindle and through
the knob or handle and through the Follower-bush from outside to outside.
"
The "Features of Novelty claimed by me are "The Follower-bush and the tut
on the knob or handle for ordinary spindles and the bush as a part of the follower
with screw or peg passing from outside to outside when Duce's spindle is used."
Dated this 28th day of April 1885.

page_text: I, WILLIAM TRUBSHAW Cemetery Road Willenhall in the County of Stafford,
Hardwood Turner do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVE-
MENTS IN LOCK-FURNITURE AND ITS CONNECTIONS 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 to obtain a secure, simple cheap & durable
fastening for door handles to their spindles.
First Combination :-When a plain square, spindle is used. In the accompanying
drawings Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of a follower-bush' made in any material
whatsoever, and attached in the case of rim-locks to the lock-plate P. or may form
part of the follower itself or part of the plate, and in the case of mortice-locks, to
the door.
Fig. 2 is a plan of Fig. 1. In Figs. 1 & 2 O. is the follower and H is the hole for
the spindle. B is the follower-bush, F is the flange of the follower-bush, S is the
slot in the flange.
Fig. 3 is a perspective outline of a knob having on the side of its neck a projecting
piece T. corresponding in shape to the slot S. Fig. 1.
According to my Invention I have one ordinary "fastend" knob on a plain
square spindle. This spindle is passed through the door and follower as far as X.
Fig. 4. The knob shown in Fig. 3. is passed into the follower-bush and the pro-
jecting tut T. turned round to the position shown in Fig. 4. The spindle is then
pushed into the neck of the knob K. and the "fastend" rose is screwed as
ordinarily to the door, thus making the fastening complete without using a
neck-screw.
Second Combination :-Fig. 5 shows a modification necessary when a screwed
spindle is used instead of the plain spindle.
B is the follower-bush now made loose but intended to be screwed upon the
elongation of the follower O. and is attached to the knob by rolling loosely over
the flange of the knob when in the process of finishing the knob. When the
screwed spindle with a fast-end" is pushed through the door and follower, the
adjustment is made by the nut N. Next the knob, with a square hole, & loose
follower-bush on its neck and having a tut T. or the said tut. extended so as to
form a flauge is pushed up to the follower O and the follower-bush B is next
screwed on to the follower making the fastening complete.
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. Forming the follower with a bush attached to itself or to the lock-plate or to
the door.
2. A knob or handle with a projection from the side of its neck.
3. The loose follower-bush and its combination with the follower, necessary when
a screwed spindle is used.
These three preceding being the features of novelty.
