PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Handles for Metal Dish Covers, and the Manufacture
of same.
I, SAMUEL WORRALL of 73, Havelock Square, in the City of Sheffield in the
County of York, Silversmith do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in handles, the class of which are fitted
with locks and keys for entrèe bacon, breakfast, vegetable and all kinds of metal
dish covers, also for the manufacture of same.
In dish covers for above purposes the handles hitherto adopted, have had the
handle cap made hollow, which in time, when the dishes are washed and cleaned,
corrodes, or oxidizes, and the key which is fitted in the interior of the hollow cap
breaks when the corrosion takes place and does not always fit exactly into the lock
plate on the upper portion of the cover.
According to my invention I cast or otherwise form a solid hard cap of any kind
of suitable metal in any preferable design, and turn or otherwise form a recess on
the underside to fit ou the lock, which lock is fastened by various means on the
upper portion of the cover, and, in the centre of the aforesaid recess of the cap, I
solder, screw, or otherwise fasten the key, the key being made with its shank out
of the solid and the lock plate which fits on the upper portion of the dish cover
also being turned out of the solid.
In the manufacture of the aforesaid caps I make a circular chuck in which is
cast or otherwise formed the die to fit the desired pattern so that I can drill or
screw the hole into which fits the aforesaid key with perfect truth.
Dated this 9th day of March 1896.

Improvements in Handles for Metal Dish Covers, and the Manufacture
of same.
I SAMUEL WORRALL of 73 Havelock Square in the City of Sheffield, in the
County of York, Silversmith, 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 :-
My invention relates to improvements in handles, the class of which are fitted
with locks and keys for entrée, bacon, breakfast, vegetable and all kinds of metal
dish covers, also for the manufacture of same.
In dish covers for above purposes the handles hitherto adopted, have had the
handle cap made hollow, which in time, when the dishes are washed and cleaned
corrodes or oxidises, and the key which is fitted in the interior of the hollow cap

plate on the upper portion of the cover.
The annexed drawings illustrates my invention, similar letters of reference
indicate similar parts in either of the figures.
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of lock & key.
Fig. 2 is a plan shewing the lock plate.
Fig. 3 is a plan shewing the key on the underside of the handle.
Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation of the chuck.
Fig. 5 is a plan of the chuck.
In carrying out my invention I cast or otherwise form a solid hard cap Fig. 1. a.
of any kind of suitable metal in any preferable design in the hollow portion of a
perfect circular chuck Figs. 4. & 5. h. before the handle Fig. 1. k. is soldered or
fastened to the aforesaid hard cap. This chuck Figs. 4 & 5 which is of any
suitable material I place in a lathe or other suitable machine so that I may turn or
otherwise form with more accuracy a recess on the underside of the aforesaid cap
Figs. 1. & 3. b. to fit on the lock Fig. 2. c. which lock is fastened by hard
soldering on the top of the lid or cover d. In the recess b. Figs. 1. & 3. I solder
or screw the key e. Figs. 1 & 3 to the cap. The shank Figs. 1. & 3. being made
solid with the key, which key fits in the lock plate Fig. 2. g. the aforesaid lock
plate I turn out of the solid metal which gives it a more accurate fit than if done
otherwise.
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 :
The manufacture of metal dish cover handles substantially in the manner herein
shown and described.
