PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Form and Method of Producing Metal Rings
commonly used for Curtain Poles and like purposes.
WILLIAM HENRY BAGLEY of Viaduct Works, Aston, Birmingham, in the
County of Warwick, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
I make my ring from a blank or solid piece of rolled metal, without join or
seam, or soldering, in the shape of a true circle of any convenient width and
diameter, the outside edge or surface being raised or half round, and the inside
surface hollow with the edges turned inward in such manner as to form a bead on
either side, thereby strengthening the whole body of the ring in such a manuer as
to allow of the outside surface being burnished to a considerable degree of hardness,
and causing great resistance in case of lateral pressure. The method of production
is by the ordinary means of stamping and rolling, and consists of making a flat
bottomed shell or stamping of the required width from which, after removing
bottom by piercing, I produce the completely formed ring in one process of closing,
and one process of rolling. I claim for my invention novelty of form with
cheapness of production and greater strength than is usually found in rings of
same weight in other forms.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Form and Method of Producing Metal Rings
commonly used for Curtain Poles and like purposes.
I, WILLIAM HENRY BAGLEY of Viaduct Works, Aston, Birmingham, in the
County of Warwick, Manufacturer 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 the manner in which I construct and make rings for
cornice poles and such like purposes.
In the accompanying explanatory drawings to be hereinafter referred to.
Figure 1 is a view of a metal sheet or cup from which the ring is to be produced,
shewn also in section Figure 2.
.
Figure 3 is a view of the same with the bottom a pierced or cut out leaving the
ring or band, shewn also in section Figure 4.
Figures 5 & 6 shew two stages of the process of forming the ring.
Figure 7 shews the ring complete.
Figure 8 shews a different section of ring, one ring being cut through to shew
the section of metal.
And
Figure 9 an enlarged view of the eye x.
I make my ring from a blank or solid piece of rolled metal without join or
seam or soldering in the shape of a true circle of any convenient width and

and the inside surface with edges turned so as to form a bead on either side as c
Fig. 7 and e' Fig. 8, thereby strengthening the whole body of the ring in such a
manner as to allow of the outside surface being burnished to a considerable
degree of hardness and causing greater resistance in case of lateral pressure.
The method of production is by ordinary means of stamping and rolling and
consists of making a flat bottomed straight-sided shell or stamping (Figs. 1 & 2).
of the required width from which, after removing the bottom a by piercing,
I produce the completely formed ring from the remaining portion e Figs. 3 & 4 in
one process of closing as Fig. 5 and one process of rolling or forming as Figure 6.
I cut out and pierce an eye, having a curvature of same degree as outside of ring
and to the latter I attach this eye by pressing or closing over the terminal
points (g. g. Fig. 9.) of the latter, after which the ring is complete.
I wish to be understood that I do not claim only the precise form of section of
tube illustrated by Figures 6, 7, & 8 as it was obvious that the face of the ring
may be made to show various curvatures.
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.
The construction of rings for curtain poles and like purposes from a flat blank
or sheet of metal in one piece substantially as herein described and illustrated in
the accompanying drawings whereby a curved sectional form is given the ring with
strengthening beads on its edges.
