PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Means for Securing Metallic Mounts or Ornaments to
Bedsteads, Cornice Poles and the like.
GEORGE HENRY LAWSON, 97, Sycamore Road, Smethwick, Staffs, Lithographic
Artist, do hereby declare the nature cf this invention to be as follows:
The screw as now cast in or on the "chill" is dispensed with--this is accom-
plished by having horizontal recesses in the neck (or continuation of knob,
terminal or ornament by which they have been hitherto screwed on) & corres-
ponding horizontal recesses in the "chill," which partakes of the same form as
continuation of knob above referred to.
There are upright recesses on opposite sides of "chill," to admit of the horizon-
tal recesses in the neck aforesaid, passing downwards when the knob is required
to be fixed-which is done by placing the horizontal recesses in the neck of knob,
directly over the upright recesses in chill, pushing downwards, & turning partly
round, when the recesses in the neck, lie within the recesses in the "chill" and
become locked (like the wards of a key becoming fixed on the wards in a lock)
remaining so until the knob, terminal or ornament is turned the reverse. way.
The "chill" & "neck" may be of any suitable form.

Improved Means for Securing Metallic Mounts or Ornaments to
Bedsteads, Cornice Poles and the like.
GEORGE HENRY LAWSON, 97, Sycamore Road, Smethwick, Staff's, Lithographic
Artist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:
-
Fig. 1 represents an elevation of part of a bedstead, cornice pole or the like
which may be cast or wrought, and of any desired form, to which it is intended
to attach Fig. 2 or Fig. 3.
Fig. 2 & Fig. 3 represent sectional elevations of metallic mount,. vase, termi-
nal or ornament which may be of any desired form & which are intended to be
attached to Fig. 1.
'
Fig. 4 is the plan of Fig. 1 at A shewing slots or grooves C and C¹ on opposite
sides.
Fig. 5 is the sectional plan of Fig. 1 at B shewing the slots or grooves C and
Cat that point.

page_text: Fig. G is the sectional plan of Fig. 2 at D shewing the recesses or internal pro-
jections E and E¹, on opposite sides.
Fig. 7 is the plan of Fig. 3, shewing a metallic washer F inserted, having
recesses or internal projections G and G₁ on opposite sides.
Fig. 8 is a sectional elevation of Fig. 1 & Fig. 2, when they are attached.
Fig. 9 is a sectional elevation of Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 when they are attached.
This improved attachment, consists in dispensing with the ordinary wrought
iron screw, as now cast in the part Fig. 1, and, in its place, casting a piece of
wrought iron in the part Fig. 1, having two slots or grooves C and C¹, as shewn
in plan Fig. 4, or, casting on the part Fig. 1, two slots or grooves C & C as
shewn in plan Fig. 4, at opposite sides, which, starting from the top continue
downwards, to any desired position, when they turn off to the right (or left if
desired) in a sloping direction, and, dying out to the surface as shewn in Fig. 5,
so that when the recesses or internal projections E and E¹ Fig. 6 or G and G
Fig. 7 (either of which may be used, and, fixed in any suitable manner, position
or shape) are placed over the slots or grooves C and C₁ Fig. 4, pushed downwards
and then turned to the right (or left if desirable) become locked in the following
manner
The diameter of slots or grooves C, and C becoming greater at the point, where
they terminate, by reason of the said slots C and C dying out towards the sur-
face, and the diameter of, the recesses or internal projections E and E¹ or G and
G remaining the same, causes, the recesses or internal projections E and E¹ or
G and G¹ to bind upon the surface of the slots C and C₁ when the mount, vase,
terminal or ornament cannot be removed unless it is turned in the opposite direc-
tion, and the recesses or internal projections E and E¹ or G and G¹ be lifted out
of the slots C and C¹.
Any modifications of my invention, may be effected to suit my requirements,
without departing from the main principals.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. In bedsteads, cornice poles and the like, the dispensing with the wrought
iron screw, by which means, the metallic mount, vase, terminal or ornament have
hitherto been attached, and having in place thereof either a wrought iron peg
fixed in the casting, or on the casting itself, vertical and horizontal slots to
engage with recesses or internal projections, fixed in the metallic mount, vase,
terminal or ornament, which engage, with each other like the wards of a lock
engaging, with the wards of a key & becoming fixed until the operation is
reversed.
2. I claim the above improvements alone or in any combination, for the pur-
pose or purposes herein described.
3. I do not confine myself to the use of iron or any material in the manufac-
ture of Fig. 1, or to it application to bedsteads cornice poles and the like, but,
may apply it in the fixing of terminals, or ornaments to any article where the
fixing of such terminals or ornaments may be desirable and where the essential
features of my invention are maintained.
