PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Means for Attaching Implements to Jars, Cans,
or other Vessels.
1, HENRY JOSIAH GILL of 14 Quarry Street Guildford Surrey Ironmonger
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
A handle or bail made of metal wire, wood, cardboard, or other suitable material
having a slot or recess in it or a clip or spring attached to it for holding a spoon,
ladle, brush, or other tool. It may be attached to cans jars pots bottles or other
vessels so as to remain vertically over them when required & to fall down at the
side when not in use or it may be fixed to them. It may be made with fastenings
on opposite sides of the vessel or it may be made with one fastening only or in the
case of a dish or vessel on a stand it may be attached to the stand.
Dated this 18th day of August 1892.
HENRY J. GILL.
Figure 1 shows by plan view a vessel having one form of my improved handle
attached, Figure 2 shows the same by vertical sectional view with a spoon
suspended in the notch a'.
Fig. 3 shows by a partial side view the handle a in a vertical position, and Fig. 4
shows by a similar view the handle turned down at the side.
a is a handle applied to a vessel b, and is provided with a slot or recess al
adapted for use with a spoon c by way of example. In Figs. 3 and 4, a² is a slot
which receives the stem of the pin d the flattened stem in the T shaped notch
serving to hold the handle upright as shown in Fig. 3 and at the same time allowing
it to be turned over towards the side as shown in Fig. 4.
Fig. 5 shows by side view and Fig. 6 by an edge view part of the handle a
provided with an alternative form of slot a into which enters the flat stem of the
rivet d, thus holding the handle or bail upright when required.
Figs. 7, 8 and 9 show another modification of the handle a, Fig. 7 being a partial
side view, Fig. 8 a plan view with handle upright, and Fig. 9 a plan view with the
handle turned down. In this modification the portion a³ of the handle a is made to
D

page_text: correspond to the shape of the vessel as shown by plan view in Fig. 8, and the stem
of the rivet d is rounded. When the handle is turned down, in either direction,
one of the ends at springs outwards by pressure against the side of the vessel to
allow it to pass.
Fig. 10 shows a modification in which the handle is made of wire. The end of
the wire passes through an eye d', and when upright the handle is supported by a
stud or projection e on the side of the vessel. Fig. 11 shows the slot or recess.a¹
for holding the implement when the handle is made of wire. Fig. 12 shows by
plan view part of a handle a to which is attached a spring clip a¹ to receive the
handles of brushes or other like tools. The flat material is twisting so as to
present a flat surface for the clip to be rivetted upon.
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. A handle for a can or other vessel so formed as also to serve as a means of
attachment for a brush, spoon or other implement, substantially as and for the
purposes set forth and shown in the drawings.
2. The manufacture and use of handles so constructed as to be capable of serving
as means of attachment and support for spoons or other implements and attached
to cans or other vessels, substantially as and for the purposes set forth with reference
to and shown by the respective figures of the drawings.
