IMPROVEMENTS IN HOLDERS FOR STAIR AND OTHER RODS
Year: 1884

page_text: I MOSKA MERICПENSKI of 90 Locksley Street, Burdett Road in the County of
Middlesex, Pattern Maker do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN HOLDERS FOR STAIR AND OTHER RODS to be as follows:-
In carrying my Invention into effect, I form the stair or other rod either solid or
hollow and on one side with a hole or slot at any suitable distance from each end
thereof or in some cases I form the same hollow and with a slot or opening on one
side thereof extending from end to end thereof. In the latter case I pass a rod of
smaller diameter than the bore of the said stair or other rod, through the same
from end to end thereof and I form the ornamental ends of the stair or other rod
with sockets or recesses at the inner ends thereof to receive the ends of the said
slotted tube; the said ornamental ends are fixed to the internal rod by screwing
the same thereon thereby securely holding the longitudinally slotted tube of the
stair or other rod between such ends so as to prevent the opening of said slotted
tube in use.
In connection with a stair or other rod provided with holes or slots as above
described I employ holders fixed to the stairs, such holders being formed of wire or
sheet metal bent partly round at their lower ends and provided with means where-
by the same can be readily fixed to the stairs or otherwise as required, such holders
being also provided with leaves or plates pin-jointed thereto in such manner as to
allow of such leaves or plates being turned into position for securely holding the
stair rod on its holders or for permitting of the removal of the same therefrom.
In placing the stair rods in position on their holders, the holes or slots of the
stair rods when the latter are hollow are presented to the ends of the bent wires or
plates of the bolders, the stair rods are then turned round so as to cause the said
wires or plates to enter the said holes or slots and the turning is continued until the
rod can be turned round no further, then the pin jointed leaves or plates of the
holders are turned round until they bind and firinly secure the stair and other rods
upon their holders.
By the reverse operations the stair or other rods are readily released.
When employing solid stair or other rods they are simply placed without turning
the same upon the bent up ends of the wires or plates of the holders and are then
held in position by the piu-jointed leaves or plates.

page_text: I MOSKA MERICHENSKI of 90 Locksley Street, Burdett Road in the County of
Middlesex, Pattern Maker do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN HOLDERS FOR STAIR AND OTHER RODS and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:—
In carrying my Invention into effect I form the stair or other rod either solid or
hollow and on one side with a hole or slot at any suitable distance from each end
thereof, or in some cases I form the same hollow and with a slot or opening on one
'side thereof extending from end to end thereof. In the latter case I pass a rod, of
smaller diameter than the bore of the said stair or other rod, through the same
from end to end thereof and I form the ornamental ends of the stair or other rod
with sockets or recesses at the inner ends thereof to receive the ends of the said
slotted tube; the said ornamental ends are fixed to the internal rod by screwing
the same thereon thereby securely holding the longitudinally slotted tube of the
stair or other rod between such ends so as to prevent the opening of said slotted
tube in use.
In connection with a stair or other rod provided with holes or slots as above
described I employ holders fixed to the stairs, such holders being formed of wire or
sheet metal bent partly round at their lower ends and provided with means where-
by the same can be readily fixed to the stairs or otherwise as required, such holders
being also provided with leaves or plates pin-jointed thereto in such manner as to
allow of such leaves or plates being turned into position for securely holding the
stair rod on its holders or for permitting of the removal of the same therefrom.
In placing the stair rods in position on their holders, the holes or slots of the
stair rods, when the latter are hollow, are presented to the ends of the bent wires or
plates of the holders, the stair rods are then turned round so as to cause the said
wires or plates to enter the said holes or slots and the turning is continued until the
rod can be turned round no further, then the pin-jointed leaves or plates of the
holders are turned round until they kind and firmly secure the stair and other rods
upon their holders.
By the reverse operations, the stair or other rods are readily released.
When employing solid stair or other rods they are simply placed without turning
the same upon the bent up ends of the wires or plates of the holders and are then
held in position by the pin jointed leaves or plates.
'
And in order that my said Invention may be more clearly understood and readily
carried into effect, I will proceed aided by the accompanying drawings, more fully

page_text: In all the views like parts are marked with similar letters of reference, A is a
stair or other rod and B, B, are my improved holders which latter consist of a back
plate b which is fixed in the desired position by screws or otherwise and is provided
with a front plate 6' which is capable of being turned on the stud or axis b for
fixing the stair or other rod A in position or for releasing the same, the lower end
of the back plate b is bent partly round so as to form a hook to enter a slot a in
the stair rod as shown at Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 or to completely embrace the said
rod as shown at Figures 7 and 8.
In fixing a hollow rod formed with short slots a as shown at Figures 1 and 2 or
a hollow rod formed with a continuous slot a as shown at Figures 5 and 6 the rod
is first placed in position on the hooks and is then turned partly round after
which the plate bi is turned down into the position shown at Figure 2 and at the
left hand of Figure 1.
In the case of a solid rod provided with short slots a as shown at Figures 3 and 4
it is merely placed on the hooks and the plates b¹ turned down to secure the
same.
In the case of a solid unslotted rod it is placed bodily within the hooks b³ and
then secured in position by turning down the plates b' as before described.
The rod shown at Figures 5 and 6 is formed hollow and with a slot a extending
from end to end thereof.
Through the same, from end to end thereof, I pass a rod a¹ of smaller diameter
than the bore of the said stair or other rod and I form the ornamental ends a² of
the stair or other rod with sockets or recesses a³ at the inner ends thereof to receive
the ends of the slotted tube; the said ornamental ends a' are fixed to the internal
rod a¹ by screwing the same thereon or the parts may be otherwise solidly connected,
thereby securely holding the longitudinally slotted tube of the stair or other rod
between such ends a so as to prevent the opening out of such slotted tube in use.
The holders B. B. may be made of various shapes and designs and to receive
additional screws or holding means according to taste and requirements.
If desired the holder may be partially or entirely formed of wire bent into the
required form.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what
I claim is:
A holder B for stair or other rods consisting of a back plate or leaf b formed with
a turned up lower end ³ and a pivotted front leaf or plate substantially as
herein shown and described.
