PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Ornamental Ends for Tubes, Rods, and Poles.
I GEORGE SAMUEL MARSHALL of 378 Monument Road Birmingham in the County
of Warwick Brassfounder do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as
follows:-
--
My invention has for its object improvements in ornamental ends for tubes rods
and poles by which means I am enabled to obtain a very much improved appearance
at a considerable saving of cost.
In carrying out my invention I stamp or press out of sheet metal a more or less
ornamental end the stem of which is rounded and screwed at the end and provided
next the ornament with a flat which passes through a flat shaped slot formed in a
loose cap of bold design which is made to fit upon the end of the tube the screw
which may be either for metal or wood is then screwed as the case may be either
into a block of wood or tapped hole in a piece of metal fixed within the end of
the tube. That part of the ornamental end which butts against the cap is made
to follow the outline of the cap and a groove may be made across the cap to
receive it when it is screwed home.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Ornamental Ends for Tubes, Rods, and Poles.
I, GEORGE SAMUEL MARSHALL, of 378 Monument Road, Birmingham in the
County of Warwick Brassfounder, 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 :-
My invention has for its object: improvements in ornamental ends, for tubes, rods
and poles, by which means I am enabled to obtain a very much improved appearance
at a considerable saving of cost.
In carrying out my invention, I stamp, or press out of sheet metal a more or less
ornamental end the stem of which is rounded and screwed at the end & provided
next the ornament with a flat which passes through a flat shaped slot formed in a
loose cup of bold design which is made to fit upon the end of the tube; the screw,
which may be either for metal or wood, is then screwed, as the case may be, either
into block of wood or tapped hole, in a piece of metal fixed within the end of the
tube. That part of the ornamental end, which butts against the cap, is made to
follow the outline of the cap, and a groove may be made across the cap to receive
it when it is screwed home.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried into
practical effect I have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings, upon which examples
of the same are illustrated and from which other modifications may be produced
without in any way departing from the spirit of my said invention.
Figure 1, is a front elevation of one of my ornamental ends attached to a tube C.
Figure 2, is a sectional elevation of the same.
Figure 3, is an elevation of the ornamental part B separate from the cup part A.
Figure 4, is a plan of the cup part A.
Figure 5, is a broken off view of the ornamental end, but showing a screw for
screwing into a metal plug.
Fire is a suction through a tube and plug c¹.

page_text: The ornamental end B is stamped or cut out of sheet metal and the stem b¹ is rounded
and screwed at the end and provided next the ornament with a flat stem which passes
through a flat shaped slot a formed in a loose cup A which is also stamped and raised
up out of sheet metal. When the flat stem is passed through the flat shaped slot a' the
cup A is held tightly in position by means of the projection 62 which is just sufficiently
small to allow the slot to pass over it and abut against the second projecting piece b³,
being rivetted up tightly against the inside of the cup A. The whole is then screwed
into a plug of wood which fits into the tube D this plug may be of iron as
represented in Figure 6, and tapped to receive the screw F.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The improvements in ornamental ends of tubes, rods & poles substantially such as
herein set forth and such as shewn upon the drawings.
