I HENRY MUNSLOW Brass Founder of 229 Lady Wood Road Birmingham in
the County of Warwick do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
This invention consists in making a picture nail by the combination of any
ordinary nail passed through a washer or rose.
When using the picture nail so formed I should drive the nail into the wall or other
place where it was necessary to fix it. The picture cord can then be hung to rest
against the head of the nail or to rest behind the washer or rose.
My invention so described is a modification of my invention shown at Figure 12
Patent No. 1023 year 1886 and by this modification I claim the monopoly of making
a picture nail by passing any ordinary nail through any ordinary washer or rose
irrespective of whether the washer or rose be made of metal, of earthenware, of wood,
paper-imachie or any other suitable material.
The washer or rose may be plain or ornamental in the form of a circular disc or an
oval disc, or of any suitable configuration so long as it is provided with a hole through
which the ordinary nail is passed to form a picture nail.
The washer or rose may be fixed lightly close to the head of the nail, or on
any other part of the shank of the nail, or it may slide loosely over the shank of
the nail.

page_text: I HENRY MUNSLOW Brass-founder of 229 Laiywood Road Birmingham in the
county of Warwick 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 consists in making a picture nail by the combination of any ordinary
nail passed through a washer or rose.
When using the picture nail so formed I should drive the nail into the
wall or other place where it was necessary to fix it. The picture cord can
then be hung to rest against the head of the nail or to rest behind the washer
or rose.
My invention so described is a modification of my invention shown at Figure 12
Patent No. 1023 year 1886 and by this modification I claim the monopoly of making
a picture nail by passing any ordinary nail through any ordinary washer or rose
irrespective of whether the washer or rose be made of metal, of earthenware, of wood,
paper-machie or any other suitable material.
The washer or rose may be plain or ornamental in the form of a circular disc or an
oval disc, or of any suitable configuration so long as it is provided with a hole through
which the ordinary nail is passed to form a picture nail.
The washer or rose may be fixed tightly close to the head of the nail or on
any other part of the shank of the nail, or it may slide loosely over the shank of
the nail.
I will now proceed to describe with reference to the accompanying drawings the
manner in which my invention is constructed and used.
Figure 1 represents an ordinary nail passed through a metal washer and other
connections.
Figure 2 represents a plan of figure 1 viewed from the nail end.
Figure 3 represents the separate parts passed loosely on to the nail the grooved part
boing placed against the head of the nail.
Figure 4 represents the grooved part placed at the back of the rose.
Figure 5 represents the grooved part any washer combined..
In carrying out my invention I take any ordinary nail such as is represented at a
or a nail of any other kind or shape, I next provide the rose b the washer c and the
grooved wheel d, I in some cases pass the parts b, c, d on to the nail in the manner
shown at figure 1 and secure them there by means of the thin disc e; In other
cases I place the parts b, c, d, e, loosely on the nail as shown at figure 3 and by
another modification of my combination I place the grooved wheel d at the
back of the rose as represented at figure 4. Instead of making each of the
parts c and d separate can form both parts in one piece in the manner shown a
figure 5.

page_text: I prefer to make the rose 6 out of metal and the washer c out of porcelain, wood,
paper-machie or other substance that is not metal, the grooved wheel when made
separate can be made out of metal or other substance; when making the washer and
grooved wheel in one piece as shown at figure 5, 1 should form the piece out of
porcelain or other substance that is not metal.
In using my improved picture nail made in the manner herein before described,
I should drive the point into the wall and pass the hanging cord of picture over
the grooved wheel either in front of the rose when using the arrangement shown at
figures 1 and 2 or at the back of the rose when using the arrangement shown at
figure 4.
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 1
claim is :-
1st. The invention as illustrated and described for the purpose described.
2nd. The making of a picture nail by the combination of a metal rose with a
washer and grooved wheel the washer being formed out of porcelain, paper-machie or
other substance not metal, the metal rose, washer, and grooved wheel being passed on
to any ordinary nail.
3rd. The making of a picture nail by passing any ordinary nail through any
ordinary washer or rose irrespective of whether the washer or rose be made of metal,
of earthenware, of wood, paper-machio or any other suitable material.
