DAWSON PRIDE Jeweller 22 Fernhead Road Harrow Road Paddington London do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A connextion in the form of a circular, square, oblong or any other shaped piece of
vulcanite ebonite or any non conducting material (for fitting into the bucks of scarf
pins brooches earrings coronets & all dress ornaments for holding incandescent lamps
or globes) with two small holes drilled through the same & by the side of which
fastened into the piece of vulcanite, ebonite or any non conducting material two small
rings or pins at back made of any metal to which the connextions of the lamp or globe
are attached or soldered so as to prevent the strain being upon the fino & delicate
connextion of the lamps & taking all strain upon the rings or pins fitted at back of
ebonite vulcanite or any non conducting material so as to form an easy connextion
from the battery or accumulator wires without risk of breaking the wire connextions
of the said electric incandescent lamp or globe.

BENJAMIN MATTHEWMAN, Cutler 50 Myddelton Street Clerkenwell, London, EDWIN
DAWSON PRIDE, Jeweller 22 Fernhead Road, Harrow Road Paddington London 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:
A connection in the form of a circular, square, oblong or any other shapod piece of
vulcanite ebonite or any non-conducting material for fitting into the backs of scarf
pins, brooches, earrings coronets and all dress ornaments for holding incandescent
lamps or globes) with two small boles drilled through the same and by the side of
which fastened into the piece of vulcanite ebonite or any non-conducting material two
small rings or pins at back made of any metal to which the connections of the lamp
or globe are attached or soldered so as to prevent the strain being upon the fine and
delicate connections of the lamps and taking all strain upon the rings or pins fitted at
back of ebonite vulcanite or any non-conducting material so as to form an easy
connection from the battery or accumulator wires without risk of breaking the wire
connection of the said electric incandescent lamp or globe.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. That instead of the battery or accumulator wires being fastened directly to delicate
wires of incandescent lamp or globe they are connected to the metal pins or rings
placed in the back of non-conducting material which is in its turn placed in back of
dress ornaments set out in the above specification.
2. That consequently the strain hitherto caused by a direct connection of the said

page_text: wires devolves upon the said metal rins or rings which are firmly fastened into the
aforesaid piece of non conducting material.
3. That the said metal pins or rings reduce the risk of breaking the said delicate
wires from the maximum to the minimum.
4. That the said metal pins or rings form a more easy secure and reliable means of
connection for the said wires leading from battery or accumulator to incandescent lamp
or globe than hitherto attained.
