My Improvements in the manufacture of the abové named articles consist in
forming their bosses roses or collars of solid brass stamped into the required form
and attaching these bosses roses or collars to the iron or other metal screws shanks
or spikes in the manner named in the following description of the process. I take
a piece of solid wire or strip metal and cut therefrom a suitable piece according to
the size required for the boss or collar to be produced. I then place this piece of:
metal in a stamp which carries a top and bottom die, one die having sunk in it the
required shape or pattern of the boss or collar, the other die having a peg.projecting
upon its face. This peg will form a sinking in the boss or collar, into which the head
of the screw shank or spike is inserted and soldered. The article thus formed
may then be replaced in the press to more thoroughly secure the parts together.
When necessary I then trim off with ordinary press tools any ragged edges the
boss may have on it.

headed nails and screws blind cord holders cornice .pole brackets and similar
articles consist in' forming their bosses roses or collars of solid brass stamped into
the required form and attaching these bosses roses or collars to the iron or other
metal screws shanks or spikes in the manner named in the following description of
the process. I take a piece of solid wire or strip of metal and cut therefrom a
suitable piece (a) Figure I according to the size required for the boss or collar to
be produced I then place this piece of metal in a stamp or press which carries a
bottom die (b) and a top die (c) the die (b) having sunk in it the required shape or.
pattern of the boss or collar as at (d) the other die having a. peg. (e) projecting
upon its face.this peg (e) will form a sinking in the boss or collar as shewn in the
small figure (f) into which the head of the screw shank or spike is inserted and
soldered. The article thus formed may then be replaced in the press or stamp
with its head'in the bottom die (b) Figure. 2 and the top die (c!) being brought down
upon it the boss or rose of the article to be produced, is more securely, pressed and
attached to the shank. Two of such articles are shewn at (g and h) figure 2.
When it is required to form the collar of articles having an arm or projection
such as cup hooks hat pegs and such like articles the piece of metal to form the
collar is placed in a die (62) Figure 3 the upper die (c²) having a peg (e²) to pierce
through the metal and produce the partly formed collar (f). The shank and arm
are then both soldered into the collar and the article being placed as seen at (6³).
Figure 4, the die (3) is brought down upon it and the collar completed and the
parts securely jumped or pressed together.
