Improvements in and relating to Mantle Stands for Articles of Dress
for Personal Wear.
I JOHN WILLIAMSON of 21 Drake Street Rochdale in the County of Lancaster
Mantle Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to frames or stands used for the purpose of displaying in Shop
Windows or other places Mantles worn by Ladies.
The object of my invention is to provide a stand, support or frame whereby the
article of dress above named may readily be placed in position on the ordinary figure
or bust supporting the mantle frame or equivalent the subject of this my invention.
According to my construction this invention consists of a sheet metal piece or
collar piece of suitable shape adapted to seat or fit upon a bust or stand now in general
use amongst Drapers and Mantle Dealers. I attach at convenient parts around the
collar piece suitably formed or bent pieces or strips of metal or wire extending
and radiating therefrom to any suitable length, the pieces are so formed and arranged
as to be capable of holding securely in position rolls of paper as is now used which
latter are placed to throw out or show off the Mantle, but according to my invention
the rolls of paper are maintained in a permanent position and thus forms a holding
device for the paper or packing thus the inerit of my invention consists in obviating
the collapse of the support or Mantle Stand as is now the case consequent upon the
fragile or insecure nature of the support now used i.e. when paper only is used and
not firmly held in position for the purposes above described.

manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to frames or stands as used for the purpose of displaying in
Shop Windows or other places Mantles worn by Ladies.

page_text: herewith represent my invention. According to my construction my invention
consists of a sheet metal piece A or collar of suitable shape adapted to seat or fit upon
a bust or stand now in general use by drapers and mantle dealers.
I attach at convenient parts around the collar piece A, suitably formed or bent.
strips or pieces of metal or wire 6 extending and radiating therefrom to any suitable
length, the pieces are so formed or arranged as to be capable of holding securely in
position rolls of paper as is now used, and is shewn in Fig. 1. dotted line C, which are
placed to throw out or show off the article, but according to my invention the rolls of
paper on each wire are maintained in a permanent position between the collar piece A
and the wire see Fig. 2, and spaces between collar piece and end wires 62 6³ Fig. 1:
thus the paper or roll is firmly held between the plate a, and the wire b, thus obviates
the collapse of supports of paper as is now generally used, forming a firm support
for the mantle.
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. In combination the piece or plate a, with the wire piece b, so arranged as to
clip the paper between the plate and the wire substantially as and for the purposes
herein set forth.
