JOSEPH WALKER -Diesinker 13 & 14 Augusta Street Birmingham County of
Warwick do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
MANUFACTURE OF ROSES AND BARRELS FOR "MACE'S DOOR FURNITURE," to be as
follows:-
My invention consists of an improvement in the manufacture of the roses and
barrels for "Mace's Door Furniture."
Instead of making the rose and the barrel for "Mace's Door Furniture" in one
piece, I make the rose and the barrel in separate parts and afterwards fasten them
together by a process of colletting.
I will describe my process; I will first take the barrel or tube part, this I
produce from sheet metal in the following manner, I cut out with tools a round
blank and then by a process of drawing through, I form the flat round blank into
a hollow barrel or tube of the required size and depth, I then pierce a hole in the
bottom of the barrel or tube, smaller than the hole left in the top of the same
when drawn through, there is thus a flat band of metal on the bottom of the barrel
or tube with a hole in the centre.
I will next describe the rose, having made a dio of the exact size and shape of
the rose required, I take a circular piece of metal and stamp it into the said die,
thus having produced a stamped rose, I pierce a round hole in the centre, somewhat
smaller than the hole in the bottom of the barrel or tube before described, I then
by & further process raise up the edge of metal round the centre hole in the said
rose, so that the hole in the bottom of the barrel or tube will fit over the bent up
edge of metal in the centre of the aforesaid rose. Having thus prepared the barrel
or tube and the rose, I place the pierced hole of the barrel over the raised up edge
of metal round the centre hole of the rose, then by a further process I bend the
said raised edge of metal over the edge of the hole in the bottom of the barrel or
tube, thus securing the two parts firmly together.
The advantages of my improvement are, that they are stronger and superior in
finish to those stamped from sheet metal in one piece, and the cost of manufacture
is less than from cast metal.
I claim the making of the roses and barrels or tubes for "Mace's Door
Furniture" in two separate parts and afterwards securing the two parts together
by colletting or other similar process.

I JOSEPH WALKER of 13 & 14 Augustus Street Birmingham in the County of
Warwick, Brassfounder do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF ROSES & BARRELS FOR "MACE'S DOOR
FURNITURE," 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 of improvements in the manufacture of the roses and
barrels for "Maces door furniture," whereby the rose and barrel aro made in
separate parts & afterwards fastened together as hereinafter described and
illustrated by the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1 is a plan of the flat blank of which the barrel is made out of.
Figs. 2 & 3 are sections of the barrel or tube at various stages.
Figs. 4 & 5 are sections of the rose shewing the various stages of manufacture.
Figs. 6 & 7 are sections of the rose & barrel shewing the method of fastening
them together.
The barrel or tube is made out of a round flat blank as shown at Fig. 1 cut out
of sheet metal and then by a process of drawing through is formed into a hollow
barrel or tube as shown at Fig. 2 of the required size and depth after which it is
pierced in the bottom as indicated at A Fig. 3 leaving a band of metal B on the
bottom which serves for the rose to lap over and thus secures it.
The rose is formed out of a flat circular piece of metal stamped into a die of the
required pattern & size as shewn at Fig. 4 after which a round hole is pierced
through it as shewn at C Fig. 5 and by a further process the edge of the metal
round the said hole is raised up as shewn at dotted lines D Fig. 5 so that the hole
in the barrel or tube will fit over the bent up edge of the rose as shewn at Fig. 6
after which the said bent up edge of the rose is by a further process turned over
on to the square rim or shoulder of the barrel which completes the operation and
socurely fastens the rose & barrel together as shown at Fig. 7 Thus producing an
article of superior shape and cleaner finish at a reduced cost.
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. The manufacture of "Mace's Rose & barrels or tubes in separate parts as
herein before described & illustrated by the accompanying drawings,
