Improvements in Attaching Rosettes and other Metallic Ornaments
or Mounts to Metallic Bedsteads and Cots.
We, REUBEN CARTWRIGHT, of the Firm of Charles Cartwright and Sons,
of Hertford Street, Balsall Heath, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick,
Metallic Bedstead Manufacturers, and JOHN JONES, of No. 3 Brunswick Road,
Balsall Heath, aforesaid, Works Foreman do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows :—
The said invention principally consists of the method hereinafter described of
attaching rosettes and other like metallic ornaments to the chill cast parts of the
end rails of metallic bedsteads but the said method may also be applied to the
attaching of sheet metal or cast metal rosettes or ornaments to the malleable
iron panels of the said end rails and also to the attaching of sheet metal and like
mounts to the corner blocks of the said bedsteads.
By the use of this invention the cost of attaching rosettes and other metallic
ornaments or mounts to metallic bedsteads is considerably cheapened.
We will describe the said invention as applied to the attaching of sheet metal or
cast metal rosettes and like metallic ornaments to the chill cast parts of the end
rails of metallic bedsteads.
In the ordinary method of attaching rosettes and like ornaments or mounts
to the chill cast parts of the end rails, screws and rail knobs are employed for that
purpose. In attaching rosettes and like ornaments according to this invention we
form in each of the chill cast parts of the end rail, a plain or unscrewed hole the
said hole passing completely through the chill cast part, that is, from front to back;
and we make in the rosette or like ornament, either made from sheet metal or cast,
a plain hole in such a position that when the rosette or ornament is laid upon
the front of the chill cast part so as to cover it or partially cover it, the said
plain hole in the ornament shall coincide with that passing through the chill
cast part.
For attaching the ornament thus made to cover or partially cover the chill cast
part, we use preferably a hollow rivet which is passed from the front of the rosette
through the hole in it and also through the hole in the chill cast part and its head
made to bear against the front of the rosette or ornament. The end of the hollow
rivet protruding from the chill cast part at the back or reverse side is then clinched,
rivetted or expanded on the said reverse side or back of the chill cast part and the
ornament thereby attached to the said cast part.
Although we prefer to use a hollow rivet as described for attaching the rosette
or ornament yet we do not limit ourselves thereto as a solid rivet or eyelet or other
like attachment capable of being turned back or clinched on the reverse side of the
chill casting may be employed in place of a hollow rivet.
The improvements berein before described may be applied to metallic cots as
well as to metallic bedsteads.

Improvements in Attaching Rosettes and other Metallic Ornaments

We REUBEN CARTWRIGHT, of the Firm of Charles Cartwright and Sons,
of Hertford Street, Balsall Heath, Birmingham in the County of Warwick,
Metallic Bedstead Manufacturers, and JOHN JONES, of No. 3 Brunswick Road,
Balsall Heath, aforesaid, Works Foreman, do hereby declare the nature of the
said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:—
The said invention principally consists of the method hereinafter described for
attaching rosettes and other like metallic ornaments to the chill cast parts of the
end rails of metallic bedsteads and cots but the said method may also be applied
to the attaching of sheet metal or cast metal rosettes or ornaments to the malleable
iron panels of the said end rails. By the use of this invention the cost of attaching
rosettes and other metallic ornaments or mounts to metallic bedsteads is considerably
cheapened.
We will describe the said invention as applied to the attaching of sheet metal or
cast metal rosettes and like metallic ornaments to the chill cast parts of the end rails
of metallic bedsteads.
In the ordinary method of attaching rosettes and like ornaments or mounts to
the chill cast parts of the end rails screws and rail knobs are employed for that
purpose. In attaching rosettes and like ornaments according to this invention we
form in each of the chill cast parts of the end rail, a plain or unscrewed hole the
said hole passing completely through the chill cast part, that is, from front to
back and we make in the rosette or like ornament, either made from sheet metal
or cast, a plain hole in such a position that when the rosette or ornament is laid
upon the front of the chill cast part so as to cover it or partially cover it the said
plain hole in the ornament shall coincide with that passing through the chill
cast part.
The
For attaching the ornament thus made to cover or partially cover the chill
cast part, we use preferably a hollow rivet which is passed from the front of the
rosette through the hole in it and also through the hole in the chill cast part
and its head made to bear against the front of the rosette or ornament.
end of the hollow rivet protruding from the chill cast part at the back or
reverse side is then clinched, rivetted or expanded on the said reverse side
or back of the chill cast part and the ornament thereby attached to the
said cast part.
Where the ornament or mount has not the figure of a rosette, that is to say,
consists of parts not having a common centre, two or more of the holes and hollow
rivets described may be employed.
☐ Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing represents in elevation a portion of the
end rail of a metallic bedstead to which a sheet metal ornament or mount is attached
according to the said invention, Figure 2 is a vertical section of the same the said
section being taken through the dotted line x, x Figure 1.
Figure 3 represents the chill cast part on the portion of the end rail before the
ornament or mount is attached thereto.
The same letters of reference indicate the same parts in the several figures of the
drawing.
a is the chill cast part uniting the horizontal tube b with the vertical tube c
forming part of the end rail the said chill cast part a having the chill cast ornament a³
at top.
In the said chill cast ornament a² are plain holes d, d, d.
The sheet metal or cast ornament or mount e, preferably of brass, to be attached
to the chill cast ornament a² has a size and shape somewhat similar to that of the

page_text: said chill cast ornament a' and has holes in it which when the brass ornament or-
mount e is applied to the chill cast ornament a correspond with the holes d, d, d in
the said chill cast ornament.
The brass ornament or mount e is attached to the chill cast ornament a² by
hollow rivets f,f,f passed from the front through the holes in the brass ornament e
and chill cast ornament a³ the open ends of the said hollow rivets being expanded
over the edge of the holes d at the back of the chill cast ornament a² as is best seen.
by reference to Figure 2.
Although we prefer to use a hollow rivet as described and represented for
attaching the sheet metal or cast ornament mount or rosette yet we do not limit
ourselves thereto as a solid rivet or eyelet or other like attachment capable of
being turned back or clinched on the reverse side of the chill casting such for example
as a paper fastener may be employed in place of a hollow rivet with the same or
nearly the same effect.
The improvements herein before described and represented with respect to the
chill cast parts of the end rails of metallic bedsteads may be applied to metallic
cots as well as to the malleable iron panels of the end rails of metallic bedsteads.
and cots.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be perforined we declare that we
claim as the said invention of "Improvements in attaching rosettes and other
metallic ornaments or mounts to metallic bedsteads and cots."
Forming in the chill cast parts and malleable iron panels of metallic bedsteads
and cots, to which chill cast parts and panels the rosettes, ornaments or mounts are
to be attached, plain holes and forming in the sheet or cast brass or other rosettes.
ornaments or mounts to be attached thereto corresponding holes through which holes
hollow rivets or like fastenings are passed and their ends expanded rivetted or
clinched on the back or reverse sides of the chill cast parts aud panels in the
attaching operation substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawing.
