Improvements in Safety Pins or Brooches.
AUGUST PRYM Stolberg near Aix la Chapelle Rhenish Prussia Brass Sheet
and Wire Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
Improvements in safety pins or brooches consisting, of its body or shank of a
double wire twisted singly or more times, though the head & the pin are formed of
a single piece of wire or other material, and by my invention, the wire or other
material is finished in such a manner that the ends are not seen, as shown in drawings
herewith.
Figure 1. The piece of wire begins on the pin a, then forms the spiral spring b
and goes in spirals to the head, this latter forming a hook in which the point of the
pin is placed, afterwards the wire returns within the twists of the spiral of the shank
or body in twists to the spiral spring b, when it is finished in such a manner that
the end is not seen.
Figure 2. The shank or body d is formed by two spirals twisted; the one in the
other which consist of the same piece of wire.
From one or both of these spirals of the shanksor body,,d, hooks & eyes, rings
or other projection may be fixed either forming ornaments or a basis for
ornamentation, in this design two opposite eyes marked d', ds are shown.
Figure 3. shows another design with which both the wires of the shank are
formed like an eye on one side, altogether forming a double eye.
Figure 4. In this the wire coming from the head, c. is twisted in spirals round
the other wire. The wire in this case shows the direct connection of the spiral
spring, b., with the head, c. straight. The spiral of the shank finishes also close to
the circular spring.
Figure 5. The spirals in this case are made in the same manner as Fig. 4, but the
head is of a different shape.
Figure 6. The wire coming from the head, c. forms the closely twisted spiral at
first, and then having formed the circular spring, b. finishes in the pin, a. The other
end of the wire which remains straight is. surrounded by twists of the shank or
body, finishing at the spring, b. by this means the end is entirely covered.

Improvements in Safety Pins or Brooches.
AUGUST PRYM, Stolberg near Aix la Chapelle Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to he
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
The improvement in the manufacture of safety pins represented in the drawings
filed with my Provisional Specification consists of the body or shank and the head
being of a single piece of wire or other material, twisted once or more times.

page_text: Respecting the design represented by
Figure 1. The piece of wire begins on the pin (a.) then forms the spiral
spring (b.) and goes in spirals to the head, this latter forming a hook, in which the
point of the pin is placed, afterwards the wire returns within the twists of the spiral
of the shank or body in twists to the spiral spring (b.) when it is finished in such a
manner that the end cannot be seen.
Figure 2. The shank or body (d.) is formed by two spirals twisted the one in the
other which consists of the same piece of wire. From both these spirals of the
shank or body (d.) or from one only of the spirals, hooks. & eyes, rings, or any other
projection may be fixed which might form ornaments for could be employed as a
basis for ornamentation, in this design two opposite eyes marked (d', d³) are
shown.

Figure 3. shows another design with which both the wires of the shank are
formed like an eye on one side, altogether forming a double eye. As already
mentioned, sometimes one part of the double wire of the shank only ought to be
twisted as a spiral!
Figure 4. In this design the wire coming from the head (c.) is twisted in spirals
round the other wire. The wire in this case shows the direct connection of the
spiral spring (b.) with the head (c.) straight. The spiral of the shank finishes also
close to the circular spring.
Figure 5. The spirals in this case are made in the same manner as Fig. 4. but
the head is of a different shape. It is not necessary that when a straight and a
twisted shank or body are employed the twists should be a certain distanco apart as
in Figs. 4 & 5, but the twists may be close to one another.
Figure 6.. The wire coming from the head(c.) forms at first the closely twisted
spirals, and then having formed the ciroular spring (b.) finishes in the pin (a.). The
other end of the wire which remains straight is surrounded by itwists of the shank
or body, finished at the circular spring (6.) and by this means the end is entirely
covered.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1'declare that what I
claim is―
1
1. Improvement in safety pin (or brooch. of which the shank or body consisting
with the pin and the head of one piece is formed by a double wire.
"The one part of the double wire from the head is twisted asia spiral round the
other part of the shank.
2. The body or shank with the pin and head of one piece formed by a double
wire.
One part of the double wire from the pin is twisted as a spiral round the other
part of the shank.
3. The shank or body with the pin and head of one piece is formed by a double
wire.
Both parts of this double wire are twisted as a spiral the one in the other.
4. The shank or body with the pin and head of one piece is formed by a double
wire twisted as a spiral either in one part or both on which, either of one or
both wires of shank or body hooks & eyes rings or 'any 'ornamentation may be
carried out.
