CURTAIN-POLE END.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 323,072, dated July 28, 1885.

Application filed June 13, 1885.

T aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM K. PINE, of Newark, Essex county, New Jersey, (assignor to William T. Mersereau & Co. have invented, made, and applied to useImprovements in the Manufacture of Metal Ends for Curtain-Poles; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and correct description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, in which- Figure 1 is a sectional view of my invention. Fig. 2 is a front view of the same.

In the drawings, like parts of the invention are designated by similar letters of reference.

The present invention relates to improvements in metal ends for curtain-poles, and will be found to relate more particularly to the metal ends for curtain-poles ornamented upon the exterior by metal stars or other-shaped ornaments, generally differing in color from the metal end itself, the object being to reduce the cost of manufacture in this particular class of goods, and at the same time produce a durable article. Heretofore the stars or other ornaments have been attached to the metal ends by solder, which has proved an expensive and to a certain extent unsatisfactory course of manufacture.

To enable those skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will describe the same.

A shows the metal end, generally formed of (No model.)

two hemispherical sections, flanged, as at a, so that when united the two will present the appearance of a sphere, with a band encircling the same about centrally.

b shows a series of stars or other-shaped figures placed at intervals upon the exterior of the metal end A, and attached firmly in position upon the same in the following manner:

Within the two sections of which the metal end is composed is inserted a ball, B, of wood or suitable material, and the metal end is provided with a series of openings formed by punching the metal.

The stars or other ornaments are properly positioned upon the metal end and held in position thereon byheaded pins passed through them about centrally and driven into the wooden ball B.

This mode of manufacture is found simple, economical, and durable, and preferable to the soldering process generally availed of.

Having now described my invention, I claim as new- In a metal end, A, for curtain-poles, ornamented upon its exterior, the combination of the hemispherical sections, the interior ball, B. of wood or suitable material, and a series of retaining-pins and ornaments, b, constructed substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

\VILLIAM K. PINE. In presence ofv OBA WoonRUFF, J. C. DUNN.
