Improvements in the Manufacture of Rosettes for Horses' Bridles
and for other purposes.
I, CHARLES HENRY COOPER of 117 Holloway Head, Birmingham in the County of
Warwick, Harness Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to
be as follows:-
My invention has for its object improvements in the manufacture of rosettes for
horses bridles and for other purposes by means of which I can produce them at
considerable less expense and of better appearance and more highly finished. Hitherto
rosettes for horses bridles have been manufactured from thin whale bone which is
very expensive and difficult to obtain.
In carrying my invention into practice I take a thin sheet of celluloid or xylonite
and cut it into strips or ribbons which I then form into rosettes for horses bridles by
quilting and pointing building tier upon tier in the usual manner of any desired
pattern or design. I may also manufacture rosettes for various other purposes and
uses from strips or ribbons of thin celluloid or xylonite.
Dated this 10th day of November 1896.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Rosettes for Horses' Bridles
and for other purposes.
I, CHARLES HENRY COOPER, of 117, Holloway Head, Birmingham, in the County
of Warwick, Harness Manufacturer, 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 the manufacture of rosettes for
horses bridles and for other purposes by means of which I can produce them at
considerable less expense and of better appearance and more highly finished.
Hitherto rosettes for horses' bridles have been manufactured from thin whale hone
which is very expensive and difficult to obtain.
In carrying my invention into practice I take a thin sheet of celluloid or xylonite
and cut it into strips or ribbons or other suitable sections and sizes which I then
form into rosettes for horses' bridles by quilting and pointing, building tier upon
tier in the usual manner of any desired pattern or design. I may also manufacture

page_text: rosettes for various other purposes and uses from strips or ribbons of thin celluloid
or xylonite.
In order to illustrate an example of a rosette I have annexed the accompanying
drawing upon which I have shewn one pattern suitable for a horses' bridle, but it
will be quite evident that these rosettes may be made up in various designs or
patterns and of various colours, thus producing a very pretty and effective
ornament.
In carrying my invention into practice I take a thin sheet of celluloid or xylonite
and cut it into strips or ribbons or other suitable sections and sizes of the required
width and length or the celluloid or xylonite may be formed into strips or ribbons.
These strips or ribbons are then made into rosettes for horses' bridles by quilting
and pointing, building tier upon tier in the usual manner so as to form the desired
pattern or design, the different coloured strips or ribbons being intermixed, thus
producing rosettes of a combination of various colours which make a very effective
and pretty ornament to the horses' head. I may also manufacture rosettes or their
equivalent for various other purposes from strips or ribbons of thin celluloid or
xylonite.
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 :-
CLAIMS.
First. The improvements in the manufacture of rosettes for horses bridles and for
other purposes substantially as described.
Second. Rosettes and other ornaments formed from the material known as celluloid
or xylonite which is cut up into strips or other suitable sections and sizes and then
manipulated and secured in various shapes such for instance as that shown upon the
drawings substantially as herein set forth.
