PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Pegs for Hats and the like.
JOSEPH EDWARD ELSWORTH GREAVES 28 Martins Lane Cannon Street London E.C.
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists in the construction and means of fixing hat and other pegs
for the purpose of increasing the strength and durability, while being simple in
fixing and unfixing the same, and is carried out in the following manner.
In the present construction of wooden pegs instead of attaching them to the hat or
other stand or hat rail by means of gluing and wedging or by means of a screw thread,
on the wood peg; I boro a plain hole in the hat stand or hat rail; the end of the peg
is made to fit this hole with a shoulder or collar on it to fit against the rail. I thon
bore a hole longitudinally through the centre of the said peg for the purpose of
receiving a screw or bolt and which secures the peg firmly to the hat stand or
hat rail.
Either the head or the nut of the screw or bolt may be made to form part of the
external terminus of the peg when fixed. Suitable projections are provided on the
nuts or bolts to prevent them turning while the pegs are being screwed into their
places.
When the pegs are constructed of metal, if of large size they may be arranged and
constructed and the fixing or attachment may be made in a somewhat similar manner
to that of the wooden pegs; suitable holes being bored or cast in them to receive
the screw or bolt.
In the case of the smaller sizes of metal pegs or even in the case of any size of
metal pegs the screws or bolts for fixing or attachmenting the pegs to the hat stand
and the like may be screwed directly into the metal peg when it is found desirable
to do so.
By making the fixing or attaching screw or bolt sufficiently strong various designs
of nietal pegs may be fixed and carried entirely by means of the fixing or attaching
screws or bolts by means of this arrangement it would not be necessary for the peg
itself to enter the substance of the hat stand, or the like.
I prefer to fix the pegs by inserting the screw or bolt from the backside of the hat
stand or the like.

Improvements in Pegs for Hats and the like.
I JOSEPH EDWARD ELSWORTH GREAVES of No. 17 Sussex Street Rochdale in
the County of Lancaster, Engineer 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 :-
My invention consists in the construction and means of fixing hat and other pegs
for the purpose of increasing the strength and durability while being simple in fixing
and unfixing the same and is carried out in the manner hereinafter described reference
being bad to the accompanying drawings in all the Figures of which the same part is
indicated by like letters of reference.
In the present construction of wooden pegs instead of attaching them to the hat
or other stand or hat rail by means of gluing and wedging or by means of a screw

page_text: thread on the wood peg; I construct the peg and attach it to the hat or other stand
or hat rail in the manner shown by Figure 3 of the accompanying drawings.
I bore a plain hole in the hat stand or hat rail A the end of the peg B is made to
fit this hole with a shoulder or collar on it to fit against the rail. I then bore a hole
longitudinally through the centre of the peg B for the purpose of receiving a screw
or bolt C which secures the peg firmly in the bat stand or hat rail. Either the head
or the nut of the screw or bolt C may be made to form part of the external terminus
of the peg B when fixed.
In Figure 3 of the drawings the nut D forms the external terminus of the peg a
suitable projection E being provided to prevent the nut turning while the screw or
bolt C is being screwed into position.
When the pegs are constructed of metal especially if of large size they may be
arranged and constructed and the fixing or attaching may be performed in a similar
manner to that of the wooden pegs suitable holes being bored or otherwise produced
in them to receive the screw or bolt.
In the case of metal pegs also the screw or bolt for fixing or attaching the peg to
the hat stand or hat rail may be screwed directly into the metal peg this arrangement
being shown by Figure 2 in which the peg B enters the hat stand or hat rail A in
the same manner as that shown by Figure 1 and is secured in position by means of
the screw or bolt C engaging with a screw thread formed in the base of the
peg B.
By making the fixing or attaching screw or bolt sufficiently strong various designs
of metal pegs such for instance as that shown by Figure 1 may be fixed and carried
entirely by means of the fixing or attaching screw or bolt C in which case it is not
necessary for the peg itself to enter the substance of the hat stand or hat rail the
projection provided to prevent the peg from turning while the screw or bolt is
screwed into position being in this arrangement represented by the steady-
pin F.
In cases where the projecting head of the screw or bolt C at the back of the hat
stand or bat rail is inconvenient the washer may be embedded in the woodwork and
the head of the screw or bolt may be of the usual countersunk kind with a cross cut
to engage with a screw driver.
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. As a new manufacture a peg for hat stands or hat rails constructed in the
manner described and shown by Figures 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings to be
fixed in position by means of a screw or bolt C inserted from the back side of the hat
stand or hat rail.
:
2. The combination of a wooden peg B a screw or bolt C and nut D providing
improved means of securely fastening or attaching wooden hat pegs to hat stands or
hat rails substantially as described and illustrated by Figure 3 of the accompanying
drawings.
