PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Brackets or Supports for
Cornice Poles.
I WILLIAM GEE of Hawthorn Villas Thornhill Road Handsworth in the County of
Stafford Mechanic do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention consists of an improved method in the manufacture of brackets or
supports for cornice poles and is made and performed as follows:-
take a piece of wrought iron of sufficient strength for my purpose and stamp or
cut from it by means of a press and suitable shaped tools three separate pieces. The
first piece (which I call a back plate and forms the upright of the bracket) is a
straight piece of a certain length and has the requisite holes drilled or cut out for the
purpose of receiving the pins after described and also to allow the bracket when
complete to be attached to the window cornice or in any other position. The second
picce (which I call the rest or holder and in which the cornice pole rests) is stamped
in a semicircular form, having a straight piece running backwards in a horizontal
position, such piece having a small projection at its end (which I call a pin) for the
purpose of rivetting such rest or holder to the back plate as after mentioned. I drill
or cut out a hole in the required position in the back part of the semicircular portion
of the rest or holder for the purpose of receiving the pin on the prop after described.
The third piece (which I call the prop, and is for the purpose of supporting and
strengthening such rest or holder) is stamped in any suitable shape or form having a
projection at each end (called pins) for the purpose of rivetting such prop to the back
plate and to the rest or holder as next described. I now pass the pin at one end of
the prop, through the hole in the back part of the semicircular portion of the
rest or holder and head or rivet such pin firmly in such rest or holder. The pin
at the other end of the prop and the pin at the end of the straight part of the
rest or holder are then passed through the holes made for the purpose in the back
plate and then headed or rivetted firmly in such back plate. The bracket is now
complete and can be bronzed or otherwise colored, and attached to the window cornice
or where required by screws in the ordinary way.
My invention does away with the casting or welding the brackets as now usually
made and the necessary finishing after such casting or welding, are much stronger
and not liable to breakage, simple in construction, and are made more quickly and
cheaply than cast or welded brackets.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Brackets or Supports for
Cornice Poles.
I WILLIAM GEE of Hawthorn Villas Thornhill Road Handsworth in the County of
Stafford Mechanic 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:-
My invention consists of an improved method in the manufacture of brackets or
supports for cornice poles and is made and performed as follows:-
I take a piece of wrought iron (or other metal as may be required) of sufficient
strength for my purpose and stamp or cut from it by means of a press and suitable
shaped tools, three separate pieces. The first piece (which I call the back plate and

page_text: forms the upright of the bracket) is a straight piece of a certain length and has the
requisite holes drilled or cut out for the purpose of receiving the pins after described
and also to allow the bracket when complete to be attached to the window cornice or
in any other position. The second piece which I call the rest or holder and in which
the cornice pole rests) is stamped in a semicircular form having a straight piece running
backwards in a horizontal position such piece having a small projection at its end
(which I call a pin) for the purpose of rivetting such rest or holder to the back plate
as after mentioned. I drill or cut out a hole in the required position in the back part
of the semicircular portion of the rest or holder for the purpose of receiving the pin
on the prop after described. The third piece (which I call the prop or support
and is for the purpose of supporting and strengthening such rest or. holder) is
stamped in any suitable shape or form having a projection at each end (called
pins) for the purpose of rivetting such prop to the back plate and to the rest or
holder as next described. I now pass the pin at one end of the prop through the
hole in the back part of the semicircular portion of the rest or holder and then
head or rivet such pin firmly in the rest or holder. The pin at the other end of
the prop and the pin at the end of the straight part of the rest or holder are
then passed through the holes made for the purpose in the back plate and then
headed or rivetted firmly in such back plate. The bracket is now complete and
can be bronzed or otherwise colored and attached to the window cornice or where
required by screws in the ordinary way.
My invention does away with the casting or welding the brackets as now usually
made and the necessary finishing after such casting or welding are much stronger and
not liable to breakage simple in construction and are made more quickly and cheaply
than cast or welded brackets.
I will now proceed to describe by reference to the accompanying drawings the
manner in which my invention is made and performed :-
Fig. 1. (b) is the back plate, (a) the rest or holder (c) the prop or support. Fig. 2.
is a side section of the bracket when fitted together. As is seen by reference to the
drawings the pin (d) on the front part of the prop or support (c) is passed through
the hole (e) in the rest or holder (a) and then headed or rivetted, the pins ()
and (g) on the back parts of the rest and prop respectively are then passed through the
holes (h) and (j) in the back plate (6) and then headed or rivetted & the bracket is
then 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 method of making brackets or supports for cornice poles out of wrought iron
or other metal as required by stamping or cutting out the several pieces and rivetting
them together as above described.
