being made the exact size of the outside of the tube or rodding and deep enough
for the tube or rodding to go within one quarter of an inch of the top. The knob
is fixed on by a specially prepared cement which consolidates it, and makes the
knob thoroughly firm & not liable to breakage. The knob having full solid
bearing upon the article that it is fixed.
Drawings explain more fully.

We GEORGE SAMUEL MARSHALL and WILLIAM ALLMAN Brassfounders both of
65 Summer Row Birmingham in the County of Warwick, do hereby declare the
nature of our invention for " AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE SHAPE OF CHINA AND
OTHER KNOBS AND METHOD OF FIXING THE SAME" and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:—
. This invention has for its object the effective fixing of china and other knobs on
any article where they can be used, this is accomplished by the hole inside the
knob being made the exact size or shape of the outside of the tube, rodding or
article upon which they have to be fixed, and deep enough for the tube rodding or
article to go bodily in a sufficient distance to hold firm, but the hole does not go
through the top of the knob-The knob is fixed on the hooks or other articles
by a specially prepared cement which consolidates the knob and article upon which
it is fixed and renders them thoroughly solid and not liable to break or become
loose.
The cement used for fixing the china and other knobs on the hooks or other
articles contains the following ingredients
Half a pound of Plaster of Paris.
Half a pound of Resin.
Quarter of a pound of Whiting.
One ounce of Bees Wax.
One ounce of Tallow.
The articles to which this invention applies are usually made in three or more
parts, the knobs have loose mounts attached, then they are screwed with a few
threads upon the tube, rodding or hooks; or the knobs are made with a small hole
to go through them and fixed with a screw pin & mount into the article, thus the
several parts are always liable to become loose in wear.
Our improvement consists in having the knobs and the hook or other article
only and when fixed the knob has a full solid bearing upon the article.
The drawings annexed hereto explain more fully.
Fig. 1 shows a hat & coat hook complete.
Fig. 2 shews a knob seperate.
Fig. 3 section of a knob shewing the hole and the hook ready to be fixed.
Fig. 4 section of a knob fixed on the hook.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is
1st The special form & size of the hole in the knob, being the same size or shape
of the outside of the material or article upon which it has to be fixed.
2nd The knob being complete in itself and not requiring any mounts to fix it.
3rd Fixing china or other knobs on hooks or other goods with cement only.
4th The mixture of cement as described.
