PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Metallic Knobs or Vases for
Bedstead Mounts, Door Furniture, and the like.
We ARTHUR LIONEL STAMPS, of Priory Works, Priory Road, Aston near
Birmingham, Manufacturer, and JOHN THOMAS EWINS, of Beal Street, Aston,
near Birmingham, Toolmaker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of knobs or vases for
bedstead mounts, door furniture and other purposes, and refers more particularly
to the securing of the neck to the main body.
It consists as follows:-The body is made in the ordinary manner, that is,
stamped and raised and shaped as required, leaving an opening to receive the neck.
Around the edge of this opening we cut or shape notches or gaps, so as to alternate
its edge.
The neck is also made of stamped metal and spun, or shaped as required, with a
projecting portion or flange, to take into the opening in the body, and further
having a central hole sufficiently large to admit a turning over tool. The neck
being inserted and both placed in the ordinary lathe, by means of the said tool the
projecting flange is now turned over the notches edge, and further forced as far as
possible into the said notches or irregular edge, and thus the two are secured
together, and in a manner that prevents rotation.
If desired the notches may be made in the neck, in which case a cast neck may
be used, but preferably it is made as before described.
Dated this 6th day of April 1895.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Metallic Knobs or Vases for
Bedstead Mounts, Door Furniture, and the like.
We ARTHUR LIONEL STAMPS, of Priory Works, Priory Road, Aston near
Birmingham, Manufacturer, and JOHN THOMAS EWINS, of Beal Street, Aston,
near Birmingham, Toolmaker, 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 :-
This invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of knobs or vases for
bedstead mounts, door furniture and other purposes, and refers more particularly
to the securing of the neck to the main body.
In order to more clearly describe this our invention we have appended hereunto
an illustrative drawing upon which are figures and numbers of reference, similar
numbers throughout the several views referring to the same thing or part.
Fig. 1, is a part sectional view of the body, and Fig. 2, an inverted plan view of
the same

page_text: Fig. 3, is a part sectional view of the neck.
Fig. 4, is a part sectional view of the vase completed.
Fig. 5, shows a modification in which a cast neck may be used.
Fig. 6, shows a sectional view of the modification on line A-B see Fig. 5.
The body 7, is made in the ordinary manner, that is, stamped and raised and
shaped as required, leaving an opening 8, to receive the neck piece 9.
Around
the edge of this opening 8, we cut or shape notches or gaps 10, so as to alternate
its edge.
The neck 9, is also made of stamped metal and spun, or shaped as required, with
a projecting portion or flange 11, to take into the opening 8, of the body, and
further having a central hole 12, sufficiently large to admit a turning over tool.
The neck being inserted and both placed in the ordinary lathe, by means of the
said tool the projecting flange 11, is now turned over the notched edge, and further
forced as far as possible into the said notches or irregular edge, as shown in Fig. 4,
and thus the two are secured together, and in a manner that prevents rotation.
If desired the notches may be made in the neck as seen at 10", Fig. 6, in which
case a cast neck 9, may be used.
The edge of the body is in this case pressed or spun into the said notches as seen
in Fig. 5. We prefer however the method and arrangement shown and described
in and for Figures 1 to 4, inclusive.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
1. In the manufacture of knobs or vases for bedstead mounts, door furniture and
the like, the use and employment of notches such as shown at 10, and the roiling
or pressing thereinto the metal of the neck, substantially as shown and described
in Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive.
2. The modification as herein described and shown in Figs. 5 & 6, in which the
notches or gaps 10", are made in the neck end and in which the edge of the body is
spun or pressed thereinto, substantially as shown and set forth.
Dated this 7th day of January 1896.
