Complete Specification Left, 7th June, 1892-Accepted, 9th July, 1892
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Attaching Handles to Metallic Teapots and other
articles.
I, THOMAS PAUL LOMAS, of 8 Surrey Lane, Battersea, London S.W., Agent,
do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to effect improvements in attaching and securing
handles to metallic teapots, coffee pots, and other analogous articles.
In forming the handle for the purposes aforesaid I provide two or more snugs at
those parts of the handle where it is to be attached to the teapot. AV channel is
formed in each snug on the face next to the teapot, and the back of the snug is
preferably formed with a V projection; but it may be square semicircular or
otherwise.
A piece of copper, brass, or other metal is wrapped round each snug, the ends
being turned into the channel. The snugs are then attached to the teapot, or other
article, by soldering in the usual manner. The solder runs into the V channel, and
a firm and secure joint is effected.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Attaching Handles to Metallic Teapots and other
articles.
I, THOMAS PAUL LOMAS, of 8 Surrey Lane, Battersea, London S.W., Agent,.
do hereby declare the nature of my said invention 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 my invention is to effect improvements in attaching and securing
handles to metallic teapots, coffee pots, and other analogous articles.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascertained,
reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of
reference indicate corresponding parts.
Fig. 1 is an elevation showing the method of applying my invention to an ordinary
teapot, and
Fig. 2 is a section on the line 1-2 of Fig. 1.
a is a portion of the tea-pot to which the handle b is attached. cc are two snugs
formed in one with the handle b. d is a recess, groove, or channel, formed in each
snug. e is a piece of sheet copper, brass, tin, or other metal, which is wrapped round
each snug, as shown in elevation in Fig. 1, and in section by a black line in Fig. 2;
the ends being turned into the channel or recess d, as also shown in Fig. 2.
The snugs are attached to the teapot, or other article, by soldering in the usual.
manner. The solder not only makes joints at the ends of the two horns of the
snug, but also extends and runs into the channel d, whereby a very firm and secure
joint is effected.
It is obvious that other than metallic articles and vessels may be fitted with
handles according to my invention, such other articles being provided with metallic
bands to which the snugs of the handles are soldered.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the-same-isa.to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :
1: The improved method of attaching handles to metallic, teapots and other
articles, by means of grooved or recessed snugs formed in one with the handle, the
snugs having metallic wrappers attached thereto, whereby the uniting surfaces and
the security of the soldered joints are increased, usubstantially, nashereinbefore
described and illustrated by the drawings.
2. The improvements in attaching handles to tea-pots and other articles; sub-
stantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated by the drawings.
