Improvement
its in the Method of AttachS
Handles to Culinary and other Holloware Vessels.
I MATTHEW SWAIN of Railway Foundry, Newton Heath, Manchester, Iron
Founder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The improvements relate to the attaching or fastening of tubular handles to culinary
and other holloware vessels, and have for object the greater facility of such attachment,
and portability in package.
To accomplish this and to effect my improvements, I cast upon the vessel, or
otherwise construct thereon, a socket somewhat similar to those at present in use, but
having in the side of the cylinder thereof a notch or projection of convenient size and
form. In the tubular handle I cut a slot, groove, or recess, at an angle suitable for
the purpose, into which the notch or projection aforesaid can take. Thus by the
insertion of the tubular handle into the cylinder of the socket, by means of a semi-turn
or partial screw motion, the same is drawn tightly therein. A slight taper, is, by
preference, given to the cylinder and tube handle, but this is not essential.
To prevent the return action of the handle, the same, after being inserted as
described, may be wedged in place by a ball dropped down the tube and driven tightly
therein, by means of a punch or other tool, or a washer or other formed wedge may
be used for this purpose.
By this means holloware may have their handles attached with great facility, and
may be packed, for shipment or other purposes, prior to such handles being put on.
the process can be accomplished by comparatively unskilled labour.
as
Variations in detail may be made without departing from the peculiarity of the
invention which mainly consists of the employment of a cast or otherwise formed
notch or projection, in the side of the cylinder of the socket, formed upon the vessel,
for the purpose of taking into a groove, slot, or recess, formed or cut in the tubular
handle thereof, which may or may not be secured in position by means of a ball,
washer, or other formed wedge.

I, MATTHEW SWAIN, of Railway Foundry, Newton Heath, Manchester, Iron
Founder, 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 :-
The improvements relate to the attaching or fastening of tubular handles to culinary
and other holloware vessels, and have for object the greater facility of such attachment,
and portability in package.
To accomplish this and to effect my improvements, I cast upon the vessel, or
otherwise construct thereon, a socket somewhat similar to those at present in use, but
having in the side of the cylinder thereof a notch or projection of convenient size and
form. In the tubular handle I cut a slot, groove, or recess, at an angle suitable for
the purpose, into which the notch or projection aforesaid can take. Thus by the
insertion of the tubular handle into the cylinder of the socket, by means of a semi-turn
or partial screw motion, the same is drawn tightly therein. A slight taper is, by
preference, given to the cylinder and tube handle, but this is not essential.
To prevent the return action of the handle, the same, after being inserted as
described, may he wedged in place by a ball dropped down the tube and driven tightly
therein, by means of a punch or other tool, or a washer or other formed wedge may
be used for this purpose.
By this means holloware may have their handles attached with great facility, and
may be packed, for shipment or other purposes, prior to such handles being put on, as
the process can be accomplished by comparatively unskilled labour.
Variations in detail, such as the form of the groove and projection, or the handle, or
the socket, may be made without departing from the peculiarity of the invention.
But that the improvements may be better understood I will by the aid of the
accompanying drawings proceed more fully to describe means employed by me.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1, is the hollow or tubular handle shewn in elevation, and with the slot, groove,
or recess, cut or otherwise formed therein, as seen at a, a,. Fig. 2, shews in section
the socket belonging to the vessel, which may be cast, riveted, or otherwise formed
upon such vessel. This socket is bored or cored slightly taper, by preference, but
this is not essential. b, is the projection or notch formed in the socket, and which is
capable of taking into the groove a, a, by a semi-turn or partial screw motion given to

page_text: the handle. Fig. 3, shews a ball, or in lieu thereof a washer, truncated cone, together
with other forms in any suitable substance may be employed to pass down the tubular
handle, and by means of a punch or other tool caused to wedge tightly the handle in
position.
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 :-
The employment of a cast, riveted, or otherwise formed notch or projection in or
upon the internal wall of the socket or cylinder formed upon, or attached to the vessel,
and prepared for the reception of the handle thereof, for the purpose of attaching the
same to such vessel by causing such notch or projection to take into a groove, slot, or
recess, formed or cut in the tubular handle, whether the same be secured or not in
position by a ball or other suitably formed wedge, in manner substantially as shewn
and described.
