and other such like Purposes.
I, CHARLES DUTTON of Victoria Works, Bissell Street, Birmingham in the County
of Warwick, Coach Plater, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
My invention has for its object improvements in the mode of mounting door handles
for carriages and other such like purposes in such a manner that I am able to dispense
with any nuts or screw on spindle while the handle is made perfectly secure and
free from vibration; and without any projections or objectionable parts to catch the
dresses of those entering or leaving such vehicles.
In order that iny invention may be clearly understood and easily carried into
practice I have appended hereunto a double sized sheet of drawings upon which I
have illustrated by several views the application of a pair of my handles to a carriage
door and from which other adaptations may be effected without departure from the
principle thereof.
Figure 1 is a front elevation of the edge of a door. M showing the external
handle A and the internal handle Capplied thereto.
Figure 2 is a broken off elevation of a part of the outside of the door M. shewing
the external handle A with the door locked.
Figure 3 is an elevation of the edge of the inside of the door M showing the
handle C in its locked condition.
Figure is a part elevational section of the door and handles as seen in the position
at Figure 1 shewing the mode by which the said handles are mounted.
Figure 5 is a part horizontal section of the handle A showing the arrangement
for fitting it against the lip N of the door.
The lock of the door does not form any part of my invention but merely
the mode of mounting the handles of the same and this I do in the following
manner :-
The spindle B is composed of a square or other shaped piece of metal just as it
comes from the rolls merely cut off and notched or roughed at its ends 6' thus avoiding

page_text: any hammering or working so that when the handle A is cast upon it, it will be
perfectly and immoveably fixed therein. The socket E is united to the handle A
in the following manner :-At the outer end of the said socket I form a bead e¹ and
a flange a cast upon the shank of the handle A and is spun around the said bead e¹
so as to embrace it easily and in such a manner, that the handle will turn upon
the said bead. When the flange is so spun around I further form upon the shank a
of the handle A a collar a' which is caulked or flanged over as per a into the
rocess a² at the back of the socket E and I thus obtain two collars or wearing
surfaces in the said socket which unites the socket with the handle in a thoroughly.
mechanical way and still allows the handle to turn freely therein. The spindle B
of the handle being passed through the lock K and through the door M projects
on the other side sufficiently to receivo a similar socket E with its inside handle C.
The sockets both on the front and back sides are secured by screws s which are
by preference inserted in the door at an angle as shown at Figure thus forming a
dovetail and resisting the force of withdrawal of the sockets. If the doors were
very thin the lower screw might be put in horizontally and might be made double
the length if necessary so as to pass the under side of the lock. In fixing the
socket E on the front side of the door it is necessary to bevel it away as shown at
Figure 5, a³, so as to miss the part 2 of the lip N of the door and for this purpose
I make the recess e² as seen at the right hand side of Figure 4 deeper so as to allow
of this level being made without. interferance with the enlarged head a* of the
handle A.
.
This is not necessary on the inner part of the door and therefor the socket E is
formed to stand flush with the face of the door though it may be made with the
recess for the sake of keeping the parts similar if thought desirable.
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:
The improvements in the mode of mounting door handles for carriages and other
such like purposes so as to dispense with screw spindles or nuts substantially as
and for the purpose herein set forth, and as illustrated upon the drawings.
Dated this 7th day of December 1888.
