COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Mounts for Jugs or the like.
We, WILLIAM FRYER and FRANCIS ADAM COLES both of 91 Great Charles
Street Birmingham Manufacturers, 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 :-
This invention relates to mounts for jugs or the like, and the object of this
invention is to enable the mounts to be detachably secured to the jugs, so as when
the jugs are packed, the mounts can be easily disconnected therefrom.
We provide a metal band which is secured round the jug by a screw or other pin
and this band carries the handle upon which the lid is hinged. A spring is
provided in connection with the lid which keeps the same always closed. In order
to prevent the band from slipping out of position projections are formed thereon
which engage with recesses or grooves formed in the jug or other article to which
the mount or mounts is or are attached.
In order that our invention may be fully understood we annex drawings to which
we now refer.
Fig. 1 is a plan view of the band adapted for attaching handles to jugs.
Figure 2 is a plan view of the band adapted for attaching lids to jugs.
Figure 3. side elevation of band in Figure 1.
Figure 4 side elevation of a jug fitted with my invention for attaching handles.
Figure 5. side elevation of a jug fitted with my invention for attaching lids.
Figure 6. end view of hinge employed in Figure 4 for lid.
Referring to Figure 1. a is a band the ends of which are secured by a screw
pin b. This pin passes through the rod c which carries the handle d thus securing
same. In order to ensure the band remaining in position on very smooth surfaces,
we provide small projections e on the inside of same which engage in corresponding
indentations in the jug. We also find it convenient to slightly groove the jug in
some cases for the reception of the band a. The lid is in this case pivoted or
hinged to the rod d as shown in Figure 4 & 6, by any well known method, at g.
Small lock-nuts k may be used if desired.

page_text: Referring to Figure 2. In this case the arm / carrying the lid f is pivotted on
the screw pin b. A small spiral spring i is employed to retain the lid / in its closed
position. This spring i surrounds the pin b, one end of the spring i being secured
in a small hole in the arm and the other end in a small hole in the end of the
band a.
The hole in the arm is of a size to allow the arm to rotate freely upon
the pin b. Fig. 5 shows the band and lid in position on the jug j. It will be seen
that by unscrewing the pin b, the lid or handle may be readily removed when
desired for packing and other purposes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. The combined arrangement & construction of the various parts, substantially
as described & illustrated.
2. In mounts for jug lids, and handles, a band having projections on its inner
side for engaging in indentations in the object surrounded by same; a screw pin for
securing the ends of the said band; an arm secured between the ends of said band by
the screw, pin, said arm carrying the handle to which the lid is hinged, substantially
as described.
3. In mounts for jug lids a band having projections on its inner side for engaging
in indentations in the objects surrounded by same; a screw pin for securing the
ends of said band; an arm pivoted upon the screw pin and between the ends of the
said band, said arm carrying the lid; a controlling spring surrounding the screw
pin, one end of which spring is attached to the arm carrying the lid, and the other
end to the end of the band aforesaid substantially as described.
Dated this 13th day of November 1893.
