Fenders, and the like.
I, WILLIAM SANDERS, of the Firm of Sanders, Son and Payne, Limited, Leopold
Street, in the City of Birmingham, Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists of improvements relating to ornamental attachments
for bedsteads, fenders, and the like, my object being to produce such ornaments
from wrought metal at small cost and in such a manner as to permit of their
being very readily secured in the required positions upon the bedstead, fender or
other like frame or structure.
In the application of my invention I stamp the ornaments to the form of
leaves, flowers, or other required patterns, from sheet brass or other metal, by
suitable dies or tools, making the end or ends or other parts of a semi-circular
or trough like cross-section for seating upon or embracing the tube or tubes
of the bedstead or fender to which they are to be secured. The parts are rigidly
connected preferably by screws or studs with the usual ball knob or other
suitable nuts.
In one type of my ornaments for attachment to the horizontal tube of a
bedstead immediately above the junction of such tube with a vertical or upright
tube, I provide a pair of feet or base pieces integral with the ornament of a
semicircular or trough like cross section for embracing the horizontal tube,
and having a space between them corresponding with the projecting ball knob
of the said upright tube.
In another type of my ornaments I provide a central foot or embracing part
in addition to the end feet or base pieces; with such type the ball knob stud
of the upright tube passes through an aperture in the central foot.

Fenders, and the like.
I, WILLIAM SANDERS, of the Firm of Sanders, Son and Payne, Limited, Leopold
Street, in the City of Birmingham, Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particu-
larly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:
-
This invention consists of improvements relating to ornamental attachments
for bedsteads, fenders, and the like, my object being to produce such ornaments
from wrought metal at small cost and in such a manner as to permit of their
being very readily and neatly secured in the required position upon the bedstead,
fender, or other like frame or structure.
In the application of my invention I stamp the ornaments to the form of
leaves, flowers, or other required patterns, from sheet brass or other metal, by
suitable dies or tools, making the end or ends or other parts of a semi-circular
or trough like cross-section for seating upon or embracing the tube or tubes
of the bedstead or fender to which they are to be secured. The ornaments and
the tubes are rigidly connected preferably by screws or studs with the usual
ball knob or other suitable nuts.
In one type of my ornaments for attachment to the horizontal tube of a
bedstead immediately above the junction of such tube with a vertical or upright
tube, I provide a pair of feet or base pieces integral with the ornament of a
semicircular or trough like cross section for embracing the horizontal tube,
and having a space between them corresponding with the projecting ball knob
of the said upright tube.
In another type of my ornaments I provide a central foot or embracing part
in addition to the end feet or base pieces; with such type the ball knob stud
of the upright tube passes through an aperture in the central foot.
Referring to the accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings;
Figure 1 is a front elevation and Figure 2 a sectional end elevation repre-
senting one of my improved wrought metal ornaments for attachment to a
horizontal bedstead tube of a square section.
Figures 3 and 4 represent respectively in front elevation and sectional end
elevation, another form of such ornaments.
Figure 5 is a front elevation and Figure 6 an end elevation representing one
of my ornaments as arranged for use at the angle between a horizontal and a
vertical tube.
The ornament shown at Figures 1 and 2 is provided with a pair of feet or
base pieces as A and A¹ of a rectangular cross section for embracing the horizontal
tube B, represented by dotted lines, and with a central space C surrounding
the ordinary ball knob D. The ornament is secured to the tube B by studs with
ball knobs as E and E¹.
The ornament shown at Figures 3 and 4 has a central foot or tube embracing
part F in addition to the end embracing parts, and such embracing parts in
the example shown are shaped for use with circular tubes.
The embracing parts G and H of the ornament shown at Figures 5 and 6 are
arranged at right angles, but such parts as with the embracing parts of the
other ornaments shown and described herein, are formed in one piece with the
ornament itself.

page_text: 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. The production of wrought metal ornaments for bedsteads, fenders, and
the like, having feet or base pieces formed integrally therewith, substantially as
described.
2. Improved ornamental attachments for bedsteads, fenders, and the like, sub-
stantially as described and as illustrated.
