PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and connected with Fastenings for Cupboard and
other Doors and Casements.
HARRY HAYNES Carpenter and Joiner 2 Louise Terrace Bordesley Park Road
Birmingham do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention is a new arrangement for a fastening, wherein the workings of the
catch shall be completely hidden from sight, not as in all other such fastening
catches, where the workings are seen inside the door. It can be fixed on case
doors, cupboard doors or other doors, and casements of any thickness whatever.
Previous to fixing the fastening, is all intact and complete in one, and when fixed,
there can only be seen the handle and front plate, and is fixed by means of
2 screws only.
In carrying out my invention I provide any suitable shaped handle, and form
thereon, a stem or shank of suitable length; on said stem I pass a suitable front
plate; on said front plate there is a collar, or barrell, in which the stem of handle
revolvs firmly, and the said plate and collar, or barrell is in one.
The stem of handle is then passed through barrell, or collar, the extreme end of
said stem, being made square, on which is placed an oblong locking plate, and
securely fixed, by means of a riveted washer, or screwed nut, and thus the handle
is intact and complete in one, and ready for fixing.
In fixing catch the locking plate and barrell is now inserted into hole made in
front side of door or stile, but does not go through same, this being one of the
main points of the catch; the front plate covering the hole made in front of door
or stile is screwed to same, and thus nothing is seen but the handle and the said
front plate.
An oblong hole or mortice is then made in side, or edge, of door, or stile for
locking plate to turn into, another similar oblong hole, or mortice, made in opposite
woodwork, thus securing door firmly.
It will now be apparent that thickness of door, in no way affects the catch, as it
can be placed upon doors of any thickness.

Birmingham 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 is a new arrangement for a fastening wherein the workings of the
catch, shall be completely hidden from sight, not as in all other such fastening
catches, where the workings are seen inside the door. It can be fixed on case
doors, cupboard doors, or other doors, and casements of any thickness whatever.
Previous to fixing the fastening is all intact and complete in one, and when fixed
there can only be seen the handle and front plate, and it is fixed by means of two
screws only

page_text: In carrying out my invention, I provide any suitable shaped handle, and form
thereon, a stem, or shank of suitable length; on said stem I pass a suitable front
plate; on said front plate there is a collar, or barrell, in which the stem of handle
revolves firmly, and the said plate and collar, or barrell is in one. The stem of
handle is then passed through barrell or collar, the extreme end of said stem being
made square, on which is placed an oblong locking plate, and securely fixed by
means of a riveted washer or screwed nut, and thus the handle is intact and
complete in one, and ready for fixing.
In fixing catch the locking plate and barrell is now inserted into hole made in
front side of door, or stile, but does not go through same, this being one of the
main points of the catch, the front plate covering the hole, made in front of door
or stile is screwed to same, and thus nothing is seen, but the handle and the said
front plate. An oblong hole or mortice then made in side or edge of door, or
stile for looking plate to turn into, another similar oblong hole or mortice, made in
opposite wood work thus securing door firmly.
It will now be apparent, that the thickness of door, in no way affects the catch,
as it can be placed upon doors of any thickness.
I will now proceed to describe with reference to the accompanying drawings, the
manner in which my invention is constructed.
No. 1 is a section of handle, which can be of any suitable shape.
No. 2 is a section of stem or shank of.handle.
No. 3 is a section of a small collar casted on No. 2 stem or shank.
Nos. 1, 2, & 3 are all made in one.
No. 4 is a section of front plate and barrell, which slides on to No. 2 stem, up to
No. 3 collar, on No. 2 stem.
No. 5 is section of locking plate which is fixed on square end of No. 2 stem.
No. 6 is section of washer which is riveted on end of No. 2 stem, thus securing
locking plate, and then the whole is intact and complete in one.
The essential novelty and improvement constituting my invention, consists in a
new arrangement for a fastening wherein the workings of the catch, shall be
completely hidden from sight, not as in all other such fastening catches were the
workings are seen inside the door. It can be fixed on case doors, cupboard doors,
or other doors, and casements of any thickness whatever. Previous to fixing, the
fastening is all intact and complete in one, and when fixed there can only be seen
the handle and front plate, and it is fixed by means of two screws only.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. Arranging fastenings for doors and casements substantially as herein set forth
so that the catch shall be hidden from sight.
2. Constructing fastenings for doors and casements substantially as shewn so as
to simplyfy the fixing of same and only expose the handle and front plate to view.
Dated this 16th day of November 1893.
