Improvements in Handles for Doors and Locks, More Particularly
on the Push and Pull System.
I, JOSEPH KAYE, of Bank House, Kirkstall, Leeds, in the County of York, Lock
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:--
as will
The object of this invention is to more effectually secure the bush into the
handle, composed of whatever metal or material, and in such a manner
admit of easy and secure adjustment upon the spindles and also form the bearing
part.
I accomplish my object in the following manner: I construct a bush having at
one end an outside thread on the principle of an ordinary screw. Lengthwise of
this portion of the bush, I cut one or more grooves or keyways. This end of the
bush is screwed into the handle the full depth of the screw, and in order to prevent
the bush from being unscrewed from out of the handle I drive a key or keys into
the before named grooves or keyways, thus effectually securing the bush to the handle.
The bush is screwed internally with a suitable thread in order to be screwed on
the spindle of the lock or catch. Through the handle and at right angles to the
centre of the same I pass a screw into the hollows or notches in the spindle in
the ordinary way for securing the handle in the desired position.

Improvements in Handles for Doors and Locks, More Particularly

I, JOSEPH KAYE, of Bank House, Kirkstall, Leeds, in the County of York, Lock
Manufacturer, 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 :-
The object of this invention is to more effectually secure bushes into door and
lock handles composed of any material, and in such a manner as will admit of
easy and secure adjustment upon the spindles; and consists in constructing the
bushes with a screwed thread on the exterior, and through the thread cutting one
or more grooves or keyways, into which when a bush is screwed into a handle
one or more keys are driven therein so that the bush cannot be turned in the
handle, thereby effectually securing and rigidly connecting the same; the handle
being attached to the door or lock spindle by a screw passing through the same
at right angles to the spindle as in the case of ordinary knobs or handles.
I will now proceed to more fully explain the same by reference to the accom-
panying sheet of drawings, in which Fig. 1 represents a section through a door
and portions of a pair of knobs attached thereto constructed according to my
invention.
Fig. 2. is a view showing my improvement as applied to knobs fitted with
square spindles.
Fig. 3. an end view of a knob with a round spindle suitable for locks on the push
and pull system and,
Fig. 1. a similar view of a knob fitted with a square spindle.
The handles or knobs A. may be of any suitable material, in each of which is
screwed a bush B. having a thread formed on the exterior or circumference for a
portion of its length which fits a screw thread cut in the interior of the knob,
similar to that of a bolt fitting an ordinary nut. In the screwed thread on the
bush, cut one or more grooves or keyways C, so that when a bush B. is screwed
into a handle A. in order to effectually secure and prevent the bush B. from
being unscrewed or removed from out of the handle, I drive a key K. into one
or each of the before-named grooves or keyways, each key imbedding itself in the
groove and handle, thereby securing the bush therein in a manner that it cannot
be unscrewed therefrom.
The Bush B. may be threaded internally for screwing on to the round and
threaded spindle D. of the lock or latch; the handle A. with bush secured therein
as before described being fastened on the spindle in the adjusted position by passing
a screw S through the bandle and bush at right angles to the axis of the spindle,
the end of the screw entering into a hollow or groove cut into the said spindle
the same as when securing handles of the ordinary construction.

page_text: When applying my improvement to knobs fitted with square spindles, 1 secure the
bush B. in the handle A. as before described and attach the knobs or handles to the
door in the following manner.
The end of each bush B. at E. protruding beyond the face of the knob is formed
with a screwed thread thereon preferably of coarse pitch, which is screwed into a
rose R. attached to the door by small screws M.
By not screwing the knobs or handles A. on each side the door against the face of
cach rose R. a little space is left between the same at F., the screws on the bushes
entering the respective roses, allow the knobs A. to be turned a sufficient distance for
operating the latch; each handle being attached to the door by the respective rose R.
and screws M.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The method of combining the bushes B. with the handles A. such bushes being
screwed and keyways C. cut into the same longitudinally, keys being driven into the
keyways C. when the bush B. is screwed into the bandle thus preventing the unscrewing
of the bush B. from the handle A.
2. The herein before described method of combining the bushes B. to the handles A.
with means shown of securing the same to the door when square spindles are used.
