I, ELIAS LEAK of Trenton County of Mercer State of New Jersey, United States,
America, "Potters Machinist " & of 37 Arcade Chambers, St. Marys Gate,
Manchester, 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 improvements in glass spinning rings, being a new and
useful fastening device, by which the glass spinning rings (as patented by me
June 4th, 1886, and bearing number 7510 in England) can be made secure to the
ring rail without fear of breakage, which is a screw thread made on the lower part of
the glass spinning ring, which goes through the ring rail, and by means of a nut on
the underside of ring rail, is secured fast in the aforesaid ring rail.
The screw thread on the glass spinning ring is a left handed thread, for use in
frames, where the spindles have a right handed rotation.
The india rubber washer is to secure tightness, without risk of breaking the ring.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawings thereof, reference being had to letters & figures
marked thereon.
Figure 1, represents the elevation of the glass spinning ring marked B, being
cylindrical in shape, with a top beaded flange marked A, and a left handed thread or
screw marked F, the whole of this figure being made in glass.
Figure 2, is a section of the glass spinning ring B, with the screwed nut made in
zinc or brass marked E, screwed on to the glass ring, with a flange marked D, to
hold or support the india rubber washer marked C, in its proper position.
Figure 3, is a plan of the flange portion of the screwed nut marked D.
Figure 4, is the elevation of the glass spinning ring B, with the screwed nut E,
and the india rubber washer C, on the flange D, and between the ring rail marked H.
The form of the nut may be in any shape or size, and of any material, provided it
is of the nature herein described.
Like letters refer to like parts in each of the figures.
A, the top beaded flange of the glass spinning ring.
B, the spinning ring.
F, the left-handed thread formed in the glass ring.
E, the screwed nut. C the india rubber ring or washer.
D, flange on the screwed nut. A section of the ring rail,

page_text: Having now fully described the nature and object of my invention, and the
manner in which the same is to be performed, I claim as new and novel the
following
First. The combination of my invention, being a screwed thread on a glass
spinning ring by which means the glass rings can be made secure in the ring rail, by
screwing the nut on after the ring is passed through the ring rail, and the india
rubber washer to secure tightness, substantially herein described and according to the
accompanying drawings.
Secondly. I claim to make the glass spinning ring any size, and the screwed nut
with flange, in any kind of metal, substantially herein described and according to
the accompanying drawings.
