IMPROVEMENTS IN THE METHOD OF FASTENING TUBULAR HANDLES ON TO
CULINARY AND OTHER HOLLOWARE VESSELS."
.
This Invention refers to the means of fastening tubular handles on to saucepans
and other articles of bolloware. Onto the vessel I cast a socket, the inside cylinder
of which is slightly tapered, the end of the cylinder being finished in a domical or
semi-spheroidal form. On the sides of the cylinder I form a recess or recesses at
a convenient distance from the domical end, having formed the wrought iron
handle of a corresponding taper to that formed on the inner side of the socket; I
then insert it and force it down perfectly tight into the tapered cylinder of the
socket. On the inside of the wrought iron handle I place a tool made with hinged
levers so arranged that by forcing these levers open from the top, they will drive or
force the sides of the tubular handle into the recesses cast in the sides of the
cylinder of the socket, thus forming one or more nibs, and these nibs being raised
or split into the recesses formed on the inside cylinder of the socket will be a guard
against the wrought iron tubular handle withdrawing from the socket.
Or by another method I form the socket in exactly a similar manner to that
already described, and into the domical end of the inside of the cylinder of the
socket I cast or fix a pin or pins having bent heads or tops, the position of these
pins being so arranged that the bent heads or tops will come exactly opposite the
recesses cast on the inside of the cylinder. I then insert the wrought iron handle
as before, and by means of a wedge piece I drive the bent pin or pins into the
wrought iron handle, forcing the sides into the recesses, and thereby preventing
the handle being readily withdrawn.

"IMPROVEMENTS IN THE METHOD OF FASTENING TUBULAR HANDLES ON TO
CULINARY AND OTHER HOLLOWARE VESSELS."
This Invention refers to the means of fastening tubular handles onto saucepans
and other articles of holloware, and is illustrated in the annexed Drawing. Onto
the vessel, a portion of which is shewn at (a), I cast a socket (b), the inside cylinder
of which is slightly tapered, the end of the cylinder being finished in a domical
or semi-spheroidal form, as at (c). On the sides of the cylinder I form a recess or
recesses (d) at a convenient distance from the domical end (c), having formed the
wrought iron handle (e) of a corresponding taper to that formed on the inner side
of the socket; I then insert it and force it down perfectly tight into the tapered
cylinder of the socket. On the inside of the wrought iron handle I place a tool made
with hinged levers so arranged that by forcing these levers open from the top they
will drive or force the sides of the tubular handle into the recesses (d) cast in the
sides of the cylinder of the socket, thus forming one or more nibs, and these nibs
being raised or split into the recesses formed on the inside cylinder of the socket
will be a guard against the wrought iron tubular handle withdrawing from the
socket.
Or by another method I form the socket in exactly a similar manner to that
already described, and into the domical end of the inside of the cylinder of the
socket I cast or fix a pin or pins having bent heads or tops, the position of these
pins being so arranged that the bent heads or tops will come exactly opposite the
recesses (d) cast on the inside of the cylinder (b). I then insert the wrought iron
handle (e) as before, and by means of a wedge piece I drive the bent pin or pins
into the wrought iron handle forcing the sides into the recesses (d) and thereby
preventing the handle being readily withdrawn.
Having thus described the nature of my said Invention, and the manner in
which the same is to be performed,
I claim the improvements in fastening tubular handles on to culinary and other
holloware vessels in manner herein more fully set forth and specified.
In witness whereof, I, the said Fred Ryland, have hereunto set my hand
and seal, this Sixth day of July, in the year of our Lord One thousand
eight hundred and eighty one.
