PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Mounting Pillars of Metallic Bedsteads.
I BERNARD RICHARD PEYTON of Bordesley Works Birmingham in the County of
Warwick Clerk do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
This invention has for its object the protection of the middle mounts on metallic
bedstead pillars from damage either by pressure or from a blow whereby an improve-
ment in appearance is obtained with other advantages. Hitherto the east corner on
bedstead pillars has been covered by a sheet of brass checking under the middle
mounts thus leaving them the most prominent part on the pillar. In place of this
plain brass sheet I put a shaped piece of metal stamped or otherwise formed checking
under the mounts of such a shape that it projects further than the middle mounts
above or below. I cast or form the corner of the pillar in a shape corresponding to
that of the metal piece thus supporting it from within and so increasing the beauty of
outline.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Mounting Pillars of Metallic Bedsteads.
I BERNARD RICHARD PEYTON of Bordesley Works Birmingham in the County of
Warwick Clerk 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 has for its object the protection of the middle "mounts" or ornaments
on the pillars of "mounted" metallic bedsteads from damage either from pressure
or a blow whereby an improvement is obtained first in security from damage from
bruises or indentation and secondly in appearance together with other advantages.
Hitherto the cast iron corner block on bedstead pillars has been covered by a thin
sheet of metal "checking" between the middle mounts thus leaving them the most
prominent part of the pillar.
In place of this metal sheet I put a shaped piece of metal or shield (stamped or
otherwise formed) checking under the mounts and of such a shape that it projects
outwards on three sides further than the middle mounts above and below.
I cast or form the corner block of the pillar in a shape corresponding to that of the
metal piece or shield thus supporting it from within and protecting it from external
indentation and also increasing the beauty of outline.
Another way to accomplish the same object is to cast or otherwise form a loose
piece of metal or other material corresponding to the shape of the formed piece or
shield on the one side and fitting on the corner block of the pillar on the other being
merely a loose piece fitting on the corner block instead of forming part of it and
placing same inside the formed metal piece or shield to support it as in the first
described method.
And in order that my invention may be more clearly understood I will proceed to
describe the drawings hereto annexed.

page_text: A A are metallic centre mounts.
B is a brass plate "checking" between the mounts A A.
C shows the ordinary straight corner not projecting outwards beyond the
mounts.
Figure 2 shows a side elevation of the same pillar showing my improved method
of mounting the same.
A A are as in Figure 1 metallic centre mounts.
B is a metal piece or shield projecting outwards further than the centre
mounts A A.
C shows a cast or otherwise formed corner block corresponding in shape to B the
metal piece or shield and supporting it from within.
Figure 3 shows an outside view of my new method of mounting the corner blocks
of metallic bedstead pillars complete.
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 improved method of mounting or ornamenting the pillars of metallic bedsteads
to protect them from damage by forming the central mount so that it projects beyond
the mounts above and below such central mount being filled up solid by the metal of
the corner joint or by metal inserted therein substantially in the manner and for the
purpose hereinbefore described and represented in the drawings hereto annexed.
Dated this 16th day of September 1889.
