PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or in Means for Affixing Metallic Mounts, Rims,
Beadings, Handles, and other like Attachments or Ornaments to
Glass, China, Earthenware, and other like Goods.
I, HARRY ALLDAY, trading as Horton and Allday, of Warstone Lane, in the
City of Birmingham, Manufacturing Jeweller, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in, or in means for, affixing or connecting
mounts, rims, beadings, handles and other like metallic attachments principally to
glass, china and earthenware goods, such for example as toilet trays, jelly and
preserve dishes, claret jugs, fruit stands, scent bottles, salad bowls, and other
articles of a kindred nature, and although I have referred to my invention as being
particularly applicable to earthenware and glass goods, yet the same may be equally
well applied to articles made of oak and other wood.
Usually mounts, rims and other analogous attachments are usually affixed by
cementation.
According to my invention, a clip mount or a clip ring mount or attachment is
split or partly split or divided, and the opposed ends are provided with pierced lugs,
one of the holes of which is screwed and the other plain, and through which a
drawing-up screw pin takes.
In carrying out one form of my invention in connection with a glass toilet tray,
the outside walls of the same, near the extreme edge, (which is rounded) are
grooved or channelled, so as to form a rut or depression, whilst the inner side of
the extreme edge may be inclined, and over this prepared edging, a three-quarter
or other metallic and cross split edging or beading is sprung, and the split ends
drawn together by a screw pin passed through adjacent lugs carried by them.
I propose that the lugs or means through which the screw pin passes, should be
concealed as much as possible from view, so as not to militate against the appearance
of the mounting, which may carry handles, ornaments, lids, spouts, lips and other
like accessories.
In cases where handles are used in connection with the mount or rim, I propose
that the lugs should be under them, and in order that the rim should have the
necessary springing clearance, I pierce the handles at parts adjacent to the cross
split. Where the articles in question are fitted with metallic rims to receive lids,
then I prefer to rabate, sink, step or set-back the inner edges and so adapt them to
receive the fitted parts.
Now in the rim with handles or lifts, the said handles are overhanging and make
the upper part of the mounting unbroken or continuous, whilst the rim part only is
cross split or divided.
In case of scollop-edged goods, then the tips of the scollops are undercut, so
that the hollow metallic three-quarter rim or beading can embrace the same and
be drawn taut by a palling-up screw taking through lugs at the terminations of the
cross split ends.
Instead of employing a continuous hoop-shaped rim or beading, with opposed
lugs at the split, the beading may be made in two, three or more parts, with the
cross divided and provided with lugs and screws or equivalents for drawing together
and forming the union of the parts.

page_text: I wish it to be understood that other means than a cross screw may be
employed for drawing the ends of the rim together, that is to say, the split ends
may be made to overhang each other, with the overhanging parts formed into
inclined planes, which, when forced together, draw the band up tight and then snap
over holding shoulders.
As a further form of my invention, a link-shaped joint may be made to be forced
over a conical shoulder and be there snapped into position.
As a still further form, the split ends of the rim may be made tubular and inside
tapped and screwed, wherein a peg having right and left screwed ends, takes, and
which, when rotated, draws the split ends together.
Or a screw may be swivelled to one end of the rim and be made to take into
a tapped socket at the other end.
Or the drawing-to device may take the form of a hollow screw, inside tapped at
its ends to take upon like screwed ends on the split parts.
The application of my invention to other articles differs in no essential respect
from its application to a toilet tray as herein described.

Improvements in or in Means for Affixing Metallic Mounts, Rims,
Beadings, Handles, and other like Attachments or Ornaments to
Glass, China, Earthenware, and other like Goods.
'f, HARRY ALLDAY, trading as Horton and Allday, of Warstone Lane, in the
City of Birmingham, Manufacturing Jeweller, 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:-
This invention relates to improvements in, or in means for, affixing or connecting
mounts, rims, beadings, edgings, handles and other like metallic attachments
principally to glass, china and earthenware goods, such for example as toilet trays,
jelly and preserve dishes, claret jugs, fruit stands, scent bottles, salad bowls, and
other articles of a kindred nature, and although I have referred to my invention as
being particularly applicable to earthenware and glass goods, yet the same may be
equally well applied to articles made of oak and other woods.
Usually mounts, rims and other analagous attachments are affixed by cementation.
According to my invention, a clip mount or a clip ring mount or attachment is
split or partly split or divided, and the opposed ends may be provided with pierced
lugs, one of the holes of which is screwed and the other plain, and through which
a drawing-up screw pin takes.
In carrying out one form of my invention in connection with a glass toilet tray,
the outside walls of the same, near the extreme edge, (which is rounded) are
grooved or channelled, so as to form a rut or depression, whilst the inner side of
the extreme edge may be inclined, and over this prepared edging, a three-quarter
or other metallic and cross split edging or beading is sprung, and the split ends
drawn together by a screw pin passed through adjacent lugs carried by them.
I propose that the lugs or means through which the screw pin passes, should be
concealed as much as possible from view, so as not to militate against the appearance
of the mounting, which may carry handles, ornaments, lids, spouts, lips and other
like accessories.
In cases where handles are used in connection with the mount or rim, I propose

page_text: cross split. Where the articles in question are fitted with metallic rims to receive
lids, then I prefer to rabate sink, step or set-back the inner edges and so adapt
them to receive the fitted parts.
Now in the rim with handles or lifts, the said handles may be overhanging and
make the upper part of the mounting appear unbroken or continuous, whilst the
rim part only, is cross split or divided.
In case of scollop-edged goods, then the tips of the scollops are undercut, so that
the hollow metallic three-quarter rim or beading can embrace the same and be
drawn taut by a pulling-up screw taking through lugs at the terminations of the
cross split ends.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings represents a longitudinal section of
a toilet dish or tray, having a fitted edging with mount made according to my
invention.
Figure 2 represents a side elevation of the same.
Figure 3 a horizontal section of the tray upon the dotted lines — Figure 2,
looking towards the handles or lifts.
Figure 4 represents a section through a portion of the edging and mount
separately.
Figure 5 represents a section of a portion of the toilet tray separately.
Figure 6 represents an elevation of portions of the tray and the mount and edging
separately.
Figure 7 represents the component parts of the connection separately and upon
an enlarged scale.
The same letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the Figures 1 to 7
of the drawings.
a is a metallic half-round sectioned and cross divided or split edging, beading,
mount or clip carrying handles or lifts a', a², at the two opposite sides, and with the
terminal ends a³, a, provided with pierced lugs a, a, with the one a³, inside
screwed, and the other a, left plain, and through which a drawing-up screw pin b.
passes by means of which the said beading is drawn upon the prepared boundary
edge c', of a glass or other dish c.
The said prepared edge c', of the dish is grooved or channelled at c², and has
a flat or facet c³.
It will be seen that the metallic beading does not come absolutely tight upon
the edge of the article mounted, so as to admit of the contraction and expansion of
the metal.
Instead of employing a continuous hoop-shaped rim or beading with opposed lugs
at the split, the beading may be made in two, three or more parts, with the cross
divided ends provided with lugs and screws or equivalents for drawing together and
forming the union of the parts.
Figure 8 represents a tray fitted with such a rim as described made in two
sections.
a is a mount, with lug ends a, a, and screw b, passing through them, whilst c is
the tray to which the mount is applied. a', a² are the handles which are partially
split so as to admit of the half section rims expanding and contracting.
I wish it to be understood that other means than a cross screw may be employed
for drawing the ends of the rim together.
One form of drawing-to expedient may consist of a right and left handed screw,
passing through correspondingly screwed holes in lugs or inside screwed tubular
opposed ends of the edging or rim, which screw either has a milled nut at the
middle, or is made square or has a levering hole through it for its rotation.
Figure 9 represents such an arrangement, in which a is the edging or rim, which
is of any desired section, so as to fit upon the edging c', of the tray c, and with the
opposed ends a³, a', having screwed lugs a, a, (or screwed holes) wherein the right
and left hand screwed ends of the drawing-up pin b, respectively take.

page_text: Or a screw may be swivelled to one end of the rim, and be made to take into
a tapped socket or lug at the other end, as represented in Figure 10.
a is the heading, a³, as are the lugs and is the screw pin, with the end b¹,
swivelling in the lug a, and the screwed end b², taking into a tapped hole in the
lug a³.
Or as a further form of connection, one end of the edging carries an inclined
headed pin, whilst the other end provided with a series of adjustment holes, into
one or other of which the headed pin takes, with the inclined parts aiding the
snapping of the one into the other.
a is the edging, with one of the opposed ends provided with a connector or
stud a, and the other end with an adjustment plate a³, pierced with a series of
adjustment holes for taking over the head a. c is the dish or tray.
If necessary, the adjustment plate may be hinged to the end of the beading,
forming a link.
Instead of the ends of the rim being drawn up by suitable expedients, the rim
itself may be only partially split at one or more parts, so as to admit of the
metal at the lower edging opening out and springing over a beaded or grooved
edging of the tray.
Figure 12 represents an elevation of such an edging as last described and
Figure 13 is a section of the same, upon an enlarged scale in which a is the
edging, a the part cross splits therein, c is the tray and c¹ the beading.
The application of my invention to the securing of rims, edgings, or like metallic
furniture to other articles enumerated without the aid of cement differs in no essential
respect from its application to a toilet tray as herein described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
First. The securing or affixing of metallic edgings or rims, or like decorative
metallic furniture carried by rims, to the naked or prepared edgings of glass, china,
earthenware and other like goods by the several means and in the ways substantially
as described and set forth in Figures 1 to 11.
Secondly. The securing or affixing of metallic edgings or rims, or like decorative
metallic furniture carried by rims, to the naked or prepared edgings of glass, china,
earthenware and other like goods by the cross splitting of parts of the under-
clipping edges, substantially as described and set forth in Figures 12 and 13.
