Combined Means of Attaching Bail-handles to Cast Metal Hollow-
ware Utensils, and Constituting such Handles Stop-bail
Handles.
We, THE CANNON HOLLOW-WARE COMPANY, LIMITED, of Deepfields in
the County of Stafford, Ironfounders, and WALTER EDMUND JAQUES, of Beach
Street, Coseley in the said County of Stafford Pattern Maker, 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:-
This invention has for its object to form cars or lugs, with cast metal' utensils,
to which the ends of bail handles may be attached by simply bending such ends
around portions of the ears, and to form such ears or lugs in such manner also and
to so attach the handles thereto that the ears or lugs will act also as stops to the
movement of the handles, constituting them what are known as "stop-bail"
handles, whereby the necessity for forging specially-shaped ends with the handles
is avoided.
An ear or lug constructed for the purposes described, consists, in its preferred
form, of a round stud which projects from the side of the utensil, of a head or boss
at the outer end of the stud, and of short connecting-pieces which pass from the
upper and lower ends or portions of the head or boss to the sides of the utensil,
all these parts being formed in one casting with one another and with the body of
the utensil. Each ear or lug thus forms between itself and the body of the
utensil an opening which is clear through from front to back except for the stud
aforesaid which passes transversely therethrough. The handle is attached to the
ears or lugs on opposite sides of the utensil by bending the ends while cold around
the studs. The handle is stopped in its upward position by coming against the
upper connecting-pieces of the ears or lugs, and is stopped in its downward position
by coming against the lower connecting-pieces of the ears or lugs.
A convenient practical application of the invention is illustrated by the drawings
herewith, of which Figure 1 is a vertical section through the upper portion of one
side of a cast metal hollow-ware utensil A, and shews one of the ears or lugs,
forming the subject of this invention, in front elevation; Figure 2 is a section
through the ear taken on line of Figure 1; and Figure 3 shews a side elevation
of the ear.
In Figure 1 the lower end of one side of the bail handle is shewn, but with a
portion cut away so as to leave the stud clearly exposed. In Figure 2 a portion of
the handle is shewn by full lines in its upward position, and by broken lines in
its downward position; and in Figure 3 such portion of the handle is shewn in its
upward position.
a is the stud, aforesaid, b the head or boss, and c c¹ the short connecting-pieces.
The end d of the handle e is bent cold around the stud a to attach the handle to
the ear.
When the handle is in its upward position, as shewn by full lines,
Figure 2, it is stopped by the connecting-piece e forming the top of the ear; and
when the handle is in its downward position, as shewn by broken lines, Figure 2, it
is stopped by the connecting-piece e forming the bottom of the car.
If it is not desired for the ear to form a stop to the handle in its downward
position, the lower connecting-piece c' may be omitted; and, in such case, the ear
may consist, in its simplest form, of a stud a, a connecting-piece c some distance
thereabove, as shewn, and a head or part which joins the outer end of the stud with

the outer end of the connecting-piece. It is very much preferred, however, in any
to form the ear with a lower connecting-piece, as shewn, as well as an upper
one; and even when an upper connecting-piece only is used, it is preferred to
form the head as a boss projecting all around the end of the stud, for appearance
sake. When the connecting-piece c' is used it should of course be in such position
in relation to the stud a as to stop the handle in the desired position. In the
illustrations it is shewn as somewhat nearer to the stud a than is the connecting-
piece c.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
Ears or lugs, for the bail-handle connections of cast metal hollow-ware utensils
each formed in the same casting as the body of the utensil with which it is used,
and consisting of a stud (such as a) a head or boss (such as b) and upper and lower
connecting-pieces (such as c c¹) or an upper connecting-piece only, in combination
with the means by which the bail-handles are attached thereto, that is to say, by
bending their ends around the studs so that as the handles are raised they will be
stopped against the upper connecting-pieces, and, when the lower connecting-pieces
are used, will be stopped in their downward position thereby, substantially as
described.
