PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Brooches, Blouse Pins, and other Ornamental
Dress Pins.
I, ERNEST PHILLIPS WAREHAM, trading as Charles Rowley & Co., of 65, Newhall
Street, in the City of Birmingham, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has reference to those brooches, ladies' blouse pins, scarf pins,
and other ornamental dress pins, in which the main portion of the pin is con-
structed of wire like a safety pin and has one of its arms fixed to the back of the
ornamental front part of the brooch or dress pin. This invention consists in con-
structing the said brooches, blouse pins, scarf pins, and other ornamental dress
pins, in the manner herein described whereby the fixing of the safety pin part to
the back of the ornamental part is facilitated and rendered very secure and the
ornamental front part can readily be made up in various designs.
In carrying out this invention I fix the sheet metal back of the ornamental
front part to the arm of the safety pin part as follows:--The said sheet metal
back is stamped or raised with a deep groove or channel in which the arm of the
safety pin part lies this channel terminating in a hole at each end through which
the said arm projects. The arm is secured in the groove or channel by soldering
or other means and the solder is out of sight as it is between the ornamental front
and the sheet metal back. The arm of the safety pin part can readily be threaded
on to the metal back by the hooked end of the arm being inserted in the hole at
one end of the channel and then pushed along and through the hole at the other
end of the channel thus bringing the safety pin into position engaging with the
said metal back.
I make the stamped sheet metal back part of the brooch or pin of the proper
shape and size to receive the ornamental front part or parts, that is to say, the said
sheet metal back may be made of an elongated or other shape and the front part
be made of two three or more pieces of ornamental or other wire, or strings of
beads, or strip of pearl or an ornamental stamping or of other suitable ornamental
material and secured to the back part by the latter having projecting tongues at
the sides and ends which are bent up and closed over the ends or other parts of the
wire or other ornamental front part so as to secure the same to the back.

page_text: 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 has reference to those brooches, ladies' blouse pins, scarf pins,
and other ornamental dress pins, in which the main portion of the pin is con-
structed of wire like a safety pin and has one of its arms fixed to the back of the
ornamental front part of the brooch or dress pin. This invention consists in con-
structing the said brooches, blouse pins, scarf pins, and other ornamental dress
pins, in the manner herein described whereby the fixing of the safety pin part to
the back of the ornamental part is facilitated and rendered very secure and the
ornamental front part can readily be made up in various designs.
I will describe my invention by referring to the accompanying drawings on
which Fig. 1 is a side elevation, and Fig. 2 is a plan of a brooch or ornamental
dress pin constructed according to this invention suitable for ladies blouses,
scarfs, and for other uses; Fig. 3 is a side elevation and cross section and Fig. 4
is a plan of the sheet metal back and safety pin part of the ornamental dress pin
represented by Figs. 1 and 2; Fig. 4* is a side elevation, plan and cross section of
the sheet metal back part of the said ornamental dress pin separately and Fig. 5
is a separate side elevation and plan of the safety pin part of the said dress pin;
Fig. 6 is a general view and a cross section of a slightly modified arrangement
of my invention.
The same letters of reference indicate the same or corresponding parts in all
the figures.
In carrying out this invention I fix the sheet metal back A of the ornamental
front part of the pin to the arm B of the safety pin part as follows:-The sheet
metal back A is stamped or raised with a deep groove or channel a¹ in which the
arm B of the safety pin part lies, this channel a terminating in a hole a² at one
end and a similar hole at the other end and through which holes a³ ³ the
arm B projects. The arm B can readily be threaded on to the metal back A by
the hooked end. of the arm being inserted in the hole 3 at one end of the
channel and then pushed along and through the hole at the other end of
the channel thus bringing the safety pin into the position represented in Figs. 3
and 4 lying in the groove a' of the metal back where the arm is secured by solder-
ing or other means as by the back A and the wire being stamped in dies which
compresses and closes the back part A against and over the wire 13 and thus
secures the wire arm and back together.
It will be understood that the wire arm B has to be threaded through the
holes a³ whilst the looped end is in the form represented by Fig. 5, that is
before it is bent up as shewn in Figs. 1 and 3 to form the loop for the pointed
arm 12 to lie in.
The stamped sheet metal back part A of the brooch or pin has to be made of
the proper shape and size to receive the ornamental front part or front parts, that
is to say, the sheet metal back A may be made of an elongated or other shape and
the front part be made of two three or more pieces of ornamental wire or a strip
of pearl or a metal stamping or other suitable ornamental material. In Figs. 1
and 2 the ornamental front part is made of three pieces of ornamental wire
marked respectively C1 C2 C3, which are secured to the back part A by the latter having
projecting tongues aa aa at the sides between which the ornamental front
parts C C and C³ lie and also a projecting tongue a³ ³ at the ends which are bent
up and closed down over the ends of the wires C₁ C² C³ as shewn in Figs. 1 and 2
thus securing the same to the back part A.
Fig. 6 shews my invention applied to a brooch of the kind in which the sheet
metal back part A is made of oval form to receive an ornamental front of any
desired kind.
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 brooches, blouse pins, scarf pins, and other ornamental dress pins, the

page_text: combination of the sheet metal back part made with a deep longitudinal groove
terminating in a hole at each end, and the safety pin part having its looped arm
secured in said groove after this arm has been threaded through the said holes in
the back part, all substantially as set forth.
2. In brooches, blouse pins, scarf pins, and other ornamental dress pins, the com-
bination of the sheet metal back part made with a deep longitudinal groove ter-
minating in a hole at each end, the safety pin part having its looped arm secured
in said groove after this arm has been threaded through the said holes in the back
part said back part having projecting tongues adapted to close down and secure
the ornamental front part thereto, all substantially as set forth.
3. A brooch, blouse pin, scarf pin, or other ornamental dress pin, constructed
substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated by the accompanying
drawing.
