Ironmonger do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for
MEANS OR APPLIANCES FOR SECURING OR FASTENING DOOR HANDLES TO THEIR
SPINDLES" to be as follows:-
The object of this Invention is to obtain a secure, efficient, simple and cheap
fastening for door handles to their spindles.
According to my Invention I make one of the spindles threaded and secure the
knob thereto, this spindle is passed through the door to which it is to be fitted.
The knob to bo secured to the other end of the spindle is made with a thread to
correspond with the thread on the other spindle and the face of the knob is. mado
or provided with a lump of metal which when in position comes up and abuts
against the door when the said knob is screwed on its spindle. Before the knob
is serowed on, a rose is slipped over the neck of the knob handle and when the
lump is screwed up against the door a square slotted disc or key is slipped down
between the face of the knob and the door the slotted portion thereof covering
the spindle (which is square) and the lump, or partially so; the rose is then
screwed into the door and the fastening of the knob or door handle is completo.
I prefer to secure one knob permanently to its spindle but of course the spindle
may be tapped so that the knob may be screwed on if preferred.

Ironmonger do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for "IMPROVED MEANS
OR APPLIANCES FOR SECURING OR FASTENING DOOR HANDLES TO THEIR
SPINDLES" 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 obtain a secure efficient simple and cheap
fastening for door handles to their spindles.

According to my Invention I make one end of the spindle b threaded and the
other end plain and secure the knob a thereto, this spindle b is passed through the
door e to which it is to be fitted. The knob e to be secured to the other end of
the spindle b is made with a thread to correspond with the thread on the other end
of the spindle and the face of the knob c is made or provided with a lump d of
nietal which when in position comes up and abuts against the door when the said
knob c is screwed on its spindle b. Before the knob is screwed on a rose g is
slipped over the neck of the knob handle e and when the lump d is screwed up
against the door a squaro slotted disc or key f is slipped down between the face of
the knob and the door the slotted portion thereof covering the spindle b (which
is square) and the lump d or partially so; the rose g is then screwed onto the
door and the fastening of the knob or door handle is complete. The key f may
advantageously be stamped out of sheet iron, and the lump i be cast on the door
knob.
I prefer to secure one knob permanently to its spindle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
Forming the door knob which is screwed on to one end of the spindle with a
projection or lump and providing a washer key having a corresponding notch or
recess filting the aforesaid lump which key is inserted sideways and is then held in
place by the rose substantially as set forth.
