I FREDERICK HAINSWORTH of 168 East Adams Street in the City of Chicago
County of Cook and State of Illinois, United States of America Gentleman 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:-
:-
The object of this invention is to produce scroll work with the parts securely and
firmly fastened together at inaccessible points in a cheap and servicable manner and
means for accomplishing the same.
Fig. 1. is a plan view of section of table or bench, a piece of scroll work
projecting over side of table, and tools in the act of uniting two parts of scroll
work.
Fig. 2, is a vertical section through line.1
---
1 of fig. 1.
Fig. 3, is a perspective of table showing bracket and movable anvil.
Fig. 4 is a plan view of section of scroll work projecting over side of table with
support for projecting part of scroll work to rest on.
Fig. 5, is a vertical section through line 2---2 of fig. 4.
Fig. 6, is detail showing tool used to close end of loup around scroll work.
Fig. 7. is a perspective of loup used to clasp and fasten together the scrolls.
A, is the table or bench on which the workman places in position the scrolls.
B, is the frame holding the scrolls, when it is desired to use a frame. .
C, C, are scrolls of the requisite size and shape.
D, is a ring or circular piece used with scrolls when desired.
E, is a bracket fastened to the table and extending outwardly therefrom a suitable
distance.
F, is an adjustable anvil moving on the bracket by the handle G.
H, is a support resting on the floor and supporting the projecting portion of the scroll
work, I is a loup used in fastening together the different parts of the scroll work.
J, are the angular jawed tongues used in closing the long end of loup around the
pieces of scrolls at the points where they are joined together.

page_text: The scrolls are bent and formed in size or shape as desired, placed in position on
the table, see figs. 1 and 2, with points where two or more are to be joined together,
projecting over the side of the table. The loup I, having one arm
longer than the
other, and the shorter arm just the length of the width of the scrolls being heated a
high degree of heat is placed around the point where the two scrolls are to be fastened
together, with the longer arm projecting above the scrolls, see fig. 2,-which act
embraces the scrolls on three sides thereof-the loup is then clasped by a pair of
tongues K, abreast the scrolls, when the longer arm is bent over and across the fourth
side of the scroll, by using a hammer or any suitable tool. Immediately after the
loup is placed in position on the scrolls, the adjustable anvil Fis placed under the loup,
see figs. 1, and 2.
In fig. 4, is shown the means of placing the loup in position without the use of the
anvil.
The scrolls are placed in position on the table, with parts projecting as before
described, resting on the support H. The loup I, heated to the right degree of heat
is placed around the scrolls, at the points to be joined together with the longer arm
projecting downwards leaving the bottom of the scrolls open and not crossed by the
loup see fig. 5. The loup is clasped by a pair of angular jawed tongues, see fig. 5,
and on being worked the longer arm of the loup is forced across the fourth or open
side of the scrolls, see fig. 6.
By projecting the scrolls over the side of the table, a space is always afforded to
manipulate the loup anvil or tongues as desired.
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,
1. That improvement in the art of making scroll work which consists in placing the
scrolls in position directly on a table projecting the scrollwork over the end or side of
the table, then passing an open ended loop, having one arm thereof longer than the
other over the scrolls at the points to be joined or united together, and then closing
the open ends of the loop and tightly binding the scrolls by means of a suitable tool
substantially as shown.
2. The method herein shown for uniting or joining together the different parts of
scroll work which consists in placing in position the scrolls on a table with a part
thereof projecting over the side of the table then placing an open ended loop, having
one arm longer than the other in position on the scrolls, where they are to be joined
together, from below or from the underside of the scroll work then adjusting a movable
anvil under the loop and then closing the longer arm over the scrolls substantially as
shown.
Dated this 20th day of June 1888.
