We NOAH FELLOWS, of 6 Kenton Road South Hackney in the County of
Middlesex Plumber, and HENRY WINKLEY of 23 Coopersale Rd Homerton in the
County of Middlesex, Builder do hereby declare the nature of our invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF SAUCEPANS, KETTLES AND OTHER
ANALOGOUS ARTICLES MADE OF TIN PLATE and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:—
Our invention relates to improvements in the construction of saucepans, kettles,
and other analogous articles made of tin plate and has for object the fastening of
the handles of the same in a more permanent and secure manner than heretofore.
We will first describe the method of carrying out our invention as applied
to tin saucepans. We construct the body of the saucepan and the handle of the
same in the usual manner, but with the exception, that, instead of finishing the
usual strengthening wire, which is overlapped by the tin-plate forming the body
of the saucepan and forms the rim of the top or mouth of the said saucepan, in the
usual manner that is to say; instead of placing the said strengthening wire round
the top of the saucepan so that the two ends of the said wire finish off where they
meet, we continue the said ends of the same up and preferably solder them to the
handle of the said saucepan, and fasten them in any suitable manner to the end
thereof.
Instead of forming or continuing the usual strengthening wire, however, as
described, we may use another wire formed in the same manner as previously
described in addition to, and placed underneath the usual strengthening wire, the
said additional wire being. also covered with the metal which overlaps the said
usual wire or it may be left uncovered.
By thus constructing tin saucepans and the like as described, the handles of the
same are rendered thoroughly secure, and in consequence of the wires being con-
tinued along the said handles, there is afforded a better grip, when lifting or holding
the said saucepans, when filled with any liquid or substance, as in the ordinary
form of saucepan or the like with the smooth handle, there is a tendency of the
said handle slipping round and thus upsetting the contents of the said saucepan
when held by a person whose hands are in any way wet or greasy.

page_text: We will now describe our invention as applied to a tin-kettle or the like. We
construct the kettles in the ordinary manner, but the usual strengthening wires
which are placed at each side of the handle and overlapped or covered by the metal
forming the said handle, instead of being finished in the usual manner, we prolong
each of the ends of the same. The two ends which are prolonged at the back
extremity of the bandle, we preferably cause to cross one another and then carry
the same, round the body and towards the front of the kettle underneath the ledge
which is formed by the joint between the top and the body of the said kettle. The
said wires are thus carried round to the front of the said kettle and fastened in
any suitable manner. The other two ends which are prolonged from the front
extremity of the handle are carried down to and twisted round or fastened in any
other suitable manner to the beforementioned wires.
- By this construction the handles are rendered thoroughly secure, there being no
possibility of them breaking away, as is frequently the case in those as heretofore
constructed.
To enable our invention to be more fully understood, we will proceed to describe
the same by reference to the accompanying drawing, in which,
Figure 1 represents a plan, and
Figure 2 a side elevation of a tin saucepan as constructed according to our
invention.
Figure 3 represents a modification of the same.
Figure 4 represents a plan and
Figure 5 a side elevation of a tin-kettle as constructed according to our
invention.
Similar letters of reference indicate similar or corresponding parts throughout
the several figures of the drawing.
Referring to Figures 1 and 2. a represents the body and 6 the handle of a tin
saucepan, both being of the ordinary construction. c represents the wire which is
used to form the rim or top edge of the said saucepan and which is overlapped or
covered by the metal forming the body. This wire is continued round the sauce-
pan in the usual manner as shewn but instead of being finished so as to form a
complete ring as heretofore, the two ends of the said wire c are carried through the
overlapping, or covering metal, at the point where the handle b joins the body of
the saucepan. The said ends are continued up or along and preferably soldered to
the said handle b and are preferably turned in at the end of the same and covered
by the usual cap b¹. Instead of making use of the usual strengthening wire c,
however, we may use an additional wire c¹ (as shewn in Figure 3) placed under-
neath the ordinary wire c as hereinbefore described, the said wire being also
covered with the metal which overlaps the wire c, but it may be left uncovered
as shewn in the drawing. The said wire c¹ is carried round the body of the sauce-
pan and carried up and along the handle b in precisely. the same manner as
described with reference to Figures 1 and 2.
.
Referring to Figures 4 and 5 a represents the body and a¹ the top of a tin-kettle
of ordinary construction and b represents the handle of the same. cc represent
the two wires extending along the sides of the handle b and overlapped or covered
by the metal forming the said handle. The said wires c we prolong at each
extremity of the handle b the wires at the back extremity being preferably crossed
as shewn, and carried down underneath the ledge d. The wires o are then carried
round to the front of the kettle and fastened together in any suitable manner such
as by twisting together. The other portions of the wire cat the front extremity
of the bandle, being carried down over the front of the kettle and fastened to the
herein before described portions of the said wires underneath the ledge d.
It will be obvious that we can place the wires c in the reverse direction that is
to say, that we can take the prolonged ends of the wires c from the front of the
kettle and carry them round to the back of the same and fasten them together and
to the prolonged ends of the wires c at the back extremity of the handle, which are
carried down for that purpose.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said.
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed; we declare that what
we claim is
(1.) The improved construction of tin saucepan or the like, wherein the usual
strengthening wire (or an additional wire) is continued up or along and fastened to
the handle of the said saucepan, substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore
described and represented in the accompanying drawing.
(2.) The improved construction of tin kettle or the like, wherein the usual
strengthening wires on each side of the handle are continued and arranged
substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described and represented in
the accompanying drawing.
