Improvements in Looking Glass Movements.
JOHN JEWSBURY, of the Firm of J. Jewsbury & Co., 72, Broad Street, Bir-
mingham, Cabinet Brass Founders, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
-
The object of my improvements in looking glass movements for toilet glasses
is to construct the movements, which shall give a binding steadiness in the
swinging of the glass, & also prevent the same from turning over, by the stop
thereto upon the movements.
In carrying out my improvements, I cut from a sheet of metal, a suitable
blank, & form this into a broad tapering flat open socket, with screw holes
therein, for attachment, to the support of the looking glass.
I cut from. sheet metal, an oblong plate, & make screw holes therein, upon
the centre of this plate, I rivet a stud, with a disc, & upon its edge, is a small
lug, as a projection. This plate, with its central disc, & lug is attached to the
looking glass as a working catch.
Operation. I fix two of my improved sockets upon the supports of the looking
glass, & two of my catches upon the looking glass, & slide the catches, within
the sockets, & the lugs prevents the glass over turning in its swinging action.
The parts may be cast, if so desired.
Dated this 22nd day of Narambar 1800.

Improvements in Looking Glass Movements.
JOIN JEWSBURY, of the Firm of J. Jewsbury & Co., 72, Broad Street, Bir-
mingham, Cabinet Brass Founders, 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 my improvements in looking glass movements for toilet glasses
is to so construct the movements, shall give greater steadiness in the swinging
of the glass, & also to prevent the same, from turning over, by the stops thereto.
In carrying out my improvements, I cut from a sheet of metal, a suitable
blank & form this into a long (part) open flat tapering socket, with screw
holes therein for attachment to the supports of the looking glass. I cut from
sheet metal, an oblong plate, & make screw holes therein, upon the centre of

page_text: this plate, I rivet a stud with a disc, & upon this disc its edge is a small lug,
as a projection. This plate, with its central disc, & lug is attached to the
looking glass, as a catch to work, within the socket. Operation. I fix two of
my improved sockets upon the supports of the looking glass, & two of my
catches upon the looking glass frame, & slide the catches, within the sockets &
the lugs prevent the glass over turning, in its swinging action.
These parts
of my improved looking glass movements may be cast, if so desired. In order
that my invention may be fully understood, I will now more particularly
describe it with the accompanying drawings in which similar parts are marked
with like letter's of reference.
a, the socket. b, plate of the catch. c, disc. d, lug. e, stud. f, screw holes.
g, tapering space, on the socket where the disc works.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said
invention, & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim:
1st. The combination of the tapering socket, & catch, as set forth, described;
& illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
:
2nd. The disc, riveted on to a plate, as illustrated, & described in the accom-
panying drawings for the purpose set forth at Figures 2 & 3.
3rd. A lug, or projection, so worked as to prevent the looking glass turning
over in its frame."
