A NEW METHOD OF MAKING PICTURE RINGS
Year: 1884

page_text: WILLIAM HENRY RICHARDS, Brass Founder 27B Great Hampton Street
Birmingham and WILLIAM DYKE WILKINSON Brass Founder 27 Great Hampton
Street Birmingham do heroby_declare the nature of our invention for A NEW
METHOD OF MAKING PICTURE RINGS to be as follows:-
We cut out a brass or other motal blank of the required size, and placing it in
tools we turn up the cage, producing a cup, in the bottom of which we then piorco
a hole through which is passed a nail or screw, We then produce in the same way
another cup of a somewhat conical shape this is placed, edge downwards, within
the first cup, enclosing the head of the nail or screw, the whole is then placed in
a stamp or press and closed, We then drill a hole through the head, or conical
shaped cup part, through this hole we pass a wire, which when soldered forms
the ring.

WILLIAM DYKE WILKINSON, Brassfounder, 216 Bradford St: Birmingham do
hereby declare the nature of their invention for A NEW METHOD OF MAKING
PICTURE RINGS and in what mannor the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
We cut out a brass or other metal blank the required sizo and placing it in tools
we turn up the edge producing a cup in the bottom of which wo then pierco a holo
through which we pass a screw of the proper aizo, wo then produce in the same
way another cup of a somewhat conical shape this is then placed, edge downwards,
within the first cup, the whole being then placed in tools in a press or stamp is
closed, we then drill a hole through the head or conical shaped part and through
this hole we pass the wire which when soldered forms the ring.
Figure, 1, shows front and side olevations of metal blank before being placed
in tools.
Figure 2, shows front and side elevations of metal blank after being drawn
through and pierced.
Figure 3, shows front and side elevations of conical cup flanged at bottom.
Figure 4, shows cup pierced as in figure 2 with screw passed through hole.
Figure 5, shows cup and Ecrew as in figure 4 with the flanged conical cup as in
figure 3 placed with flanged edge downwards in cup shown in figure 2, the flanged
edgo resting on the bottom of the cup the metal of which is turned over tho
flanged odgo and not onto the head of tho screw.
Figures 6 and 7 show inside and outside clevations of a comploto picturo scrow
ring constructed according to our patent the conical top having been pierced for
introducing the wire ring.
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 making of the picture screw ring by means of the two seperate and
distinct cups as described in figures 2 and 3.
2nd The manner of attaching theso cups as described in figure 5 by turning the
metal of the lower cup over the flanged edge of the conical upper cup and not over
the head of the screw as heretofore.
Dated this sixteenth day of July, One thousand eight hundred and eighty five.

We cut out a brass or other metal blank the required size and placing it in tools
we turn up the edge producing a cup in the bottom of which we then pierce a hole
through which we pass a screw of the proper size, we then produce in the same.
way another cup of a somewhat conical shapo this is then placed, edge downwards,
within the first cup, the whole being then placed in tools in a press or stamp is
closed, we then drill a hole through the head or conical shaped part and through
this hole we pass the wire which when soldered forms the ring.
Figure, 1, shows front and side elevations of metal blank before being placed
in tools.
Figure 2, shows front and side elevations of metal blank after being drawn 1
through and pierced.
Figure 3, shows front and side elevations of conical cup flanged at bottom.
Figure 4, shows cup pierced as in figure 2 with screw passed through hole.
Figure 5, shows cup and screw as in figure 4 with the flanged conical cup as in
figure 3 placed with flanged edge downwards in cup shown in figure 2, the flanged
edge resting on the bottom of the cup the metal of which is turned over the
flanged edge and not onto the head of the screw.
Figures 6 and 7 show inside and outside elevations of a complete picture screw
ring constructed according to our patent the conical top having been pierced for
introducing the wire ring.
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 making of the picture screw ring by means of the two seperate and
distinct cups as described in figures 2 and 3.
2nd Tho manner of attaching these cups as described in figure 5 by turning the
metal of the lower cup over the flanged edgo of the conical upper cup and not over
the head of the screw as heretofore.
