COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Ornamental Metal Tubes, Handles, and Spindles, and
other such like Articles, and in the Manufacture of the same.
I, EDWIN TAYLOR, of 1 Alfred Street, Warstone Lane, Birmingham in the County
of Warwick Stamper & Piercer 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 metal tubes, bandles, and spindles,
and in the manufacture of the same; and which refers to those of the ornamental class
by which means I am enabled to obtain a great variety of design and increased
boldness in appearance while at the same time the cost of production is not materially
increased.
In order, that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried into
practice I have appended hereunto, two double sized sheets of drawings upon which 1
have shown a number of examples of ornamental tubes as well as a handle and spindle
and the diagrams illustrating one mode of joining the two longitudinal halves of the
tubing together.
In carrying my improvements into effect 1 stamp out the tube A in two halves and
of varied design such as those shown by Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, from
which it will be seen I am enabled to obtain a considerable variety in design by the
projections a or depressions a while the transverse section of such tubes may consist
of any number of sides of any shape with reeds, ribs, Autes or sides a" of any number
running longitudinally such for instance as shown in section by Figures 11, 12,
13 and 14, or dotted lines in Figure 14. The two halves of the tubes are brazed,
soldered or otherwise secured together or I may secure the two longitudinal halves of
the tube together by means of the locked joint on each side as shown in diagram by
Figures 15 and 16 in which the flange a³ is stamped on the half A, and the flange a
on the other half A² the two being closed together as shewn by Figure 16 and which
may be additionally brazed or soldered if so desired.
The ribs formed by these longitudinal joints are made to form part of the orna-
mentation of the tube as for instance in the case of the section shewn by Figure 11
the locked joints are formed as one of the reeds at say a and a, the other cornor
projections or reeds a' being made to match; of course my tubing may be cut into
lengths suitable for the various articles for which it may be used as for instance in the
case of Figure 6 when cut eff at the dotted lines a the centre portion forms a
handle of suitable form to suit the grip of the hand especially when of a cross section
corresponding with Figure 12.
In the case of handles and spindles, I stamp the two halves separately and attach
them together with a longitudinal joint, between the two, this being effected by the
locked joint before described but in the case of handles such as B Figure 19 the
one end 6' may be stamped so as to be closed with the locking joint running round
the top as shewn by a in the plan Figure 20; or in the case of the spindles e
Figure 17 both ends would be closed & secured by the locking joint as shewn by a¹³ in
the plan in Figure 18.
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 :-
1st. The improvements in ornamental metal tubes and in the manufacture of the
same consisting of such projections as a and such depressions as a in combination
with such like longitudinal reeds. ribs. flutes or sides as all substantially as and for the

page_text: 2nd. The improvements in the manufacture of ornamental metal tubes, handlos,
spindles and other such like articles, and in the manufacture of the same consisting of
the longitudinal locking seams for attaching the irregular edges of the two halves
together substantially as herein set forth and shewn.
