PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Pin.
I, SARAH SYMONS of No. 7 Smith Street Guernsey one of the Channel Islands
Milliner do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention refers to a new or improved pin which is specially applicable for
pinning up ladies' veils, drapery and the like, it being constructed specially with the
object of being capable of holding gathered up in a convenient manner the fullness of
the veil or other fabric at the ends or at any other desired place or places.
The pin is produced from one length of wire bent to form two parallel, or
approximately parallel sides, such as in an ordinary hair pin, but the upper part or
bridge which serves to connect the two sides is in this case considerably wider than
the distance between the sides and the wire is then bent round and inwards, of such a
form as to allow of several thicknesses of stuff being gathered there, and finally
downwards to form the two sides.

I, SARAH SYMONS of No. 7 Smith Street Guernsey one of the Channel Islands,
Milliner, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertaired in and by the following
statement:
My invention refers to a new or improved pin which is specially applicable for
pinning up ladies' veils, drapery and the like, it being constructed specially with the
object of being capable of holding gathered up in a convenient manner the fullness of
the veil or other fabric at the ends or at any other desired place or places.
The pin is produced from one length of wire bent to form two parallel or
approximately parallel sides such as in an ordinary hair pin but the upper part or
bridge which serves to connect the two sides is in this case considerably wider than
the distance between the sides.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings shews one form of my improved pin. The
upper part or bridge A which serves to connect the two sides or legs B and B is
considerably wider than the distance between the sides B and B, and the wire is then
bent round as at D and inwards as at E the part A D E E forming a space to allow
of several thicknesses of stuff being gathered there, and finally bent downwards to
form the two sides B B.
Fig. 2 shews a pin with its bridge A depressed in the middle and Fig. 3 shews a
pin with its bridge A raised in the middle, but the form of the bridge and of the space
below it may be varied.

page_text: 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 :-
A new or improved pin having a bridge materially wider than the distance between
the two sides or legs of the pin and forming with its continuations to the said legs a
space which is specially adapted to receive the fullness of the veil or other fabric
-substantially as described and shewn.
