PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION
Improvements in and relating to Handles for Velocipedes, Tools,
and the like.
I, ANTON KNUBEL, of the Firm of A. Knubel & Co., of Münster, Westphalia,
in the Empire of Germany, Master Turner, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to handles for velocipedes, tools and the like, and comprises
an improved mode of fixing such handles. This mode is in the first place designed
for handles of handle-bars for velocipedes, but may also be used for any other
purposes, for instance for .tools. It renders the use of glue or other adhesive
substances and binding agents superfluous and obviates the bursting of the wooden
and other handles.
In carrying my invention into practice I form in the bore of the handle a
conical plug. Instead of the customary shank or tang I use a tube, which already
exists in the case of velocipedes in the shape of the hollow handle bar, and which
is specially provided in the case of other articles. This tube is introduced into
the bore of the handle, forced upon the aforesaid plug and thereby firmly con-
nected with the handle. The tube may either entirely fill up the bore or be of
smaller diameter. As the plug is firmly embraced by the said tube I obviate the
bursting of the handle.
When handles are to be fixed in this manner to tools the end of the same which
has heretofore formed the tang must be made tubular.
The external shape of the handles is not at all affected by the improved mode
of fixing, but may be varied as hitherto, according to the purpose for which the
handles are employed.

Improvements in and relating to Handles for Velocipedes, Tools,
and the like.
I, ANTON KNUBEL, of the Firm of A. Knubel & Co., of Münster, Westphalia,
in the Empire of Germany, Master Turner, 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 :-
My invention relates to handles for velocipedes, tools and the like, and com-
prises an improved mode of fixing such handles. This mode is in the first place
designed for handles of handle-bars for velocipedes, but may also be used for any
other purposes, for instance for tools. It renders the use of glue or other
adhesive substances and binding agents superfluous and obviates the bursting of
the wooden and other handles.
In the accompanying drawing,
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of a handle constructed according to my
invention.
Figure 2 is a longitudinal section showing a slight modification in the mode of
fixing and

introduced into the bore of the handle a, and is forced upon the aforesaid plug b
and thereby firmly connected with the handle. The tube c may entirely fill up
the bore as shown in Figure 1, or. the said tube may be made of smaller diameter
as shown in Figure 2. As the plug b is firmly embraced by the said tube c
I obviate the bursting of the handle.
When handles are to be fixed in this manner to tools the end of the latter
which has heretofore formed the tang must be made tubular.
The external shape of the handles is not at all affected by the improved mode
of fixing, but may be varied as hitherto according to the purpose for which the
handles are employed.
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 fixing of handles a upon the handle-bars of velocipedes, tools and other
articles in such a manner that the hollow rods c, or the ends of the tools or the
like made in the form of tubes, are firmly driven upon a conical plug 6 formed in
the bore of the said handle.
Dated this 29th day of September 1893.
