PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Handles for Frying Pans, Saucepans, and the like.
I ERNEST STEVENS, trading as John Stevens & Co., of Quarry Bank, in the
County of Stafford, Galvanizers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows
:-
This invention relates to improvements in handles for frying pans, saucepans and
other similar articles, and consists as follows:-
:-
I cut out a blank from sheet iron or steel of a suitable shape so that nearly its
whole length may be bent and shaped into a tubular form, having usually a "hang
up" hole at its one end. At its other end is formed the flap or spread by which it
is connected to the body of the pan &c., which is generally done by rivetting.
The blank is further so cut as, that when bending and forming the tubular handle
portion, such bending is continued as far forward upon the spread as possible, thus
forming a rib-like part upon each side, which gives great strength thereto. If
desired in some cases that portion of the article forming the junction of the spread
with the tubular part may be further grooved or ribbed so as to still further
strengthen it. Preferably the whole when rivetted together is tinned so that the
two are as it were soldered together in addition, thus firmly uniting them and
preventing the possibility of shaking or wearing loose.
Dated this 6th day of June 1894.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Handles for Frying Pans, Saucepans, and the like.
I ERNEST STEVENS, trading as John Stevens & Co., of Quarry Bank, in the
County of Stafford Galvanizers 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 improvements in handles for frying pans, saucepans, and
other similar articles, and consists as follows:-
In order to more clearly describe these my improvements, I have appended
hereunto an illustrative sheet of drawings upon which are figures and numbers of
reference, similar numbers referring throughout the several views to the same thing
or part.
Fig. 1, is a side elevation of this my improved handle.
Fig. 2, is a plan view of the same.
Fig. 3, is a cross sectional view on line A-B.
Fig. 4, is a cross sectional view on line C-D.
I cut out a blank from sheet iron or steel of a suitable shape, so that nearly its
whole length may be bent and shaped into a tubular form, having usually a hang
up hole 5, at its one end. At its other end is formed the flap or spread 6, by which
it is connected to the body of the pan &c., which is generally done by rivetting, by
means of the holes 7.
The blank is further so cut as that when bending and forming the tubular handle
portion 8, such bending is continued as far forward upon the spread as possible, that
s as far as 9, see Figs. 1 & 2, thus forming a rib-like part 10, upon each side which
Price &d.]

page_text: gives great strength thereto. That portion of the article at or about the junction
of the spread 6, with the tubular part 8, is further grooved or ribbed at 11, so as
to still further strengthen it, see Figs. 3 & 4. Preferably the whole when rivetted
together is tinned so that the two are as it were soldered together in addition thus
firmly uniting them and preventing the possibility of their wearing loose.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
1. In handles for frying pans, saucepans, and other similar articles, the making
of such handles with the extended-ribbed or folded over sides 10, 10, with or
without the rib 11, substantially as described and shown.
2. In handles for frying pans, saucepans, and other similar articles, the making
of such handles with the groove or ribbed part 11, substantially as described and
shown.
Dated this 26th day of October 1894.
