Improvements in Rings for Cornice Poles, and for similar
purposes.
We, RICHARD PHILLIPS, and HENRY FRANCIS PHILLIPS, both of Camden
Drive, Legge Lane, in the City of Birmingham, Brass Founders, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention consists in an improved method of forming rings for cornice poles
and for similar purposes whereby we produce the ring in one piece and obviate the
necessity of lapping, brazing, or soldering ends together.
In carrying our invention into effect we bend a strip of metal of any desired
section either plain channeled or grooved with rim edges, into a ring like formn and
turn the two meeting ends back at or about right angles to the circumference and
we bring the two ears or turned up ends together and pierce and eyelet them so as
to enable the joint to be made to form the complete ring.
The eyelet through the turned up ends holds the curved strip in position to form
the ring and also serves the purpose of an eye to receive the curtain hook.
We form our combination ring and hook holder in one piece from tube or other
hollow section material now employed in making ordinary rings, turning the ends
outwards and flattening them to enable the flanges to be formed for uniting the
ring bow, and for making the hook attachment.
By this improved method of construction we obviate the necessity of attaching
independent hook eyes to the ring which are liable to be pulled out of the ordinary
rings now in use.
We do not limit the application of our invention to any particular section of
ring or to any special purpose for which the rings are to be employed.

We, RICHARD PHILLIPS, and HENRY FRANCIS PHILLIPS, both of Camden
Drive, Legge Lane, in the City of Birmingham, Brass Founders, 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:-
Our invention consists in an improved method of forming rings for cornice poles

the necessity of lapping, brazing, or soldering ends together.

page_text: In the accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings to be hereinafter referred
to,-
Figure 1 is an elevation of a ring before its euds are united, and Figure 2 a
similar view of the ring with the ends united in accordance with our invention.
Figure 3 is an end view of the complete ring, and Figure 4 a section to a larger
scale illustrating the method of uniting the ends.
The same reference letters in the different views indicate the same parts.
In carrying our invention into effect we bend a strip of metal of any desired
section either plain, channelled or grooved with rim edges, into a ring like form
and turn the two meeting. ends back at or about right angles to the circumference, as
illustrated at Figure 1, and we bring the two ears or turned up ends together and
pierce and eyelet them so as to enable the joint to be made to form the complete
ring.
The eyelet A through the turned up ends B B holds the curved strip in
position to form the ring and also serves the purpose of an eye to receive the
curtain hook.
We form our combination ring and hook holder in one piece from tube or
other hollow section material now employed in making ordinary rings, turning the
ends outwards and flattening them to enable the flanges to be formed for uniting
the ring bow, and for making the hook attachment.
By this improved method of construction we obviate the necessity of attaching
independent hook eyes to the ring which are liable to be pulled out of the ordinary
rings now in use.
We do not limit the application of our invention to any particular section of
ring or to any special purpose for which the rings are to be employed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is ;-
1. An improved cornice pole or similar ring substantially as described.
2. In cornice poles or similar rings the use of an eyelet such as A for uniting
the ends B B substantially as described and as illustrated.
