We EDWARD VERNON BAILEY and CHARLES MACKEY, trading as Bailey and
Mackey, of Great Hampton Row, in the City of Birmingham, Manufacturers,
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 relates to improvements in cup-board turns, and has for its object,
a simple and efficient means of securing the tongue to the spindle without the aid
of a number of loose parts.
Our said invention consists primarily in providing the screwed turn with a bracket
ear or ears having screw holes through it or them, whose lower edge or edges
become lignable with one or other of the flats of the spindle, and whose small
locking screw follows one or other of the said flats, hence the prevention of rotation
of the tongue upon the spindle.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing represents in side elevation, a cup-board
turn made according to our invention.
Figure 2 represents the same with the connection part of the tongue represented
in section, showing the position of the cross fitted small screw relative to the flats
of the spindles.
Figure 3 is a transverse section of the said turn upon the dotted lines A B
Figure 1.
In Figures 1 to 3, u is a knob, is the square and screwed spindle thereof, upon
the screwed end 6, of which, an adjustable tongue piece c, screws, by the wormed
hole c', through the head part e, of it taking upon the said screwed end b¹, of the
spindle b. The head or inner end of the said tongue carries ears or bracket lugs c²,
with screwed and plain holes c³, e, made crosswise through them; and wherethrough
a screw-headed pin d, takes. This said pin is plain upon its shank part d', and
screwed at its head part d², so that when screwed home, the said shank part
intersects the spindle and comes upon one or other of the flats according to its
adjustment and holds the said spindle from further turning.
The end of the pin d, is preferably tapered, so as to form a lead for the
guidance of the pin across the spindle and into the plain hole c, whilst the head
end is being screwed into the hole c³.
Figure 4 represents a modified form of Figure 3. In this arrangement, the
affixing and set pin comes upon the top side of the spindle instead of on the
underside as in the preceding arrangement.
Figure 5 represents a further modified form of our invention and Figure 6
represents a front elevation of the same with the attachment end partly in
section.
In this form, the cross pin may be completely wormed from end to end and takes
through the solid metal of the head of the tongue or it may be wormed only at one
end. is the spindle, c is the tongue with a screwed hole c', through its head c³,
and d is the cross screw lying transversely across the flats of the spindle b.
Figure 7 represents a cup-board turn made according to another form of our
invention and from sheet metal.
Figure 8 is a cross section of the same upon the dotted lines CD whilst
Figure 9 represents front and edge views of the blank from which the said tongue
is made.

page_text: In Figures 7, 8 and 9, 6 is the spindle, c is the body of the tongue and c² the
hollow head of the same, having screwed and bearing holes ca, c. d is the screw
taking and lying across one of the flats of the spindle b.
Instead of a screwed spindle, we may employ a plain one and secure the tongue
which has a plain eye upon it by a slightly conical cross pin with a screwed head.
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 :-
First. In cupboard turns, fixing or securing a screwed tongue to a screwed spindle
by a transversely directed screw pin, peg or equivalent taking transversely through
the connection end of the tongue piece and across one of the flats of the spindle,
substantially as described and set forth in Figures 1 to 6.
Secondly. The improvements in cupboard turns, making the same from sheet
metal in the manner and securing to the same to the spindle substantially as
described and set forth in Figures 7, 8 and 9.
Thirdly. In cupboard turns, the general construction arrangement and combination
of the parts as herein described, and set forth.
