I ISAAC WHITEHOUSE of Institute Works Howard Street Birmingham in the
County of Warwick Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of the said
invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF METALLIC HANDLES FOR
CABINET AND OTHER FURNITURE to be as follows:-
This invention refers to the manufacture of metallic handles of medæval design
or of a similar character that is having a bow handle and back plate The usual
way of constructing these handles is to fix upon the back plate snugs to receive
the ends of the bow handle. My improvements consist in forming this back plate
of a sheet of metal and stamping up from the plate itself two loops or eyes into
which I insert the ends of the bow handle, or I may stamp up a portion in the
centre open at each end and insert the handles therein.

page_text: Improvements in the Manufacture of Metallic Handles for
Cabinet and other Furniture.
I, ISAAC WHITEHOUSE of Institute Works, Howard Street, Birmingham in the
County of Warwick Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of the said
Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF METALLIC HANDLES FOR
CABINET AND OTHER FURNITURE" and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement to be as follows, that is to say:-
This invention refers to the manufacture of metallic handles of medieval design
or of a similar character that is having a bow or other handle and a back plate.
The usual way of constructing these handles is to fix upon the back plate snugs to
receive the ends of the handle.
•
My improvements consist in forming this back or plate of a sheet of metal and
stamping up from the plate itself two loops or eyes into which I insert a portion in
the centre open at each end and insert the handle therein.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practice I have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings upon which I have
illustrated two modes in which it may be carried into practice.
Figure 1 is a front elevation of a handle mounted in its proper position upon its
back plate.
Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of the back plate upon the line A. B. with the
handle removed.
Figure 3 is a similar view to Figure 2 showing how the handle is mounted upon
the back plate.
Figure 4 is a cross section of the back plate on line C. D. looking towards
the end.
Figure 5 is a front elevation of a handle mounted when the supports of the
handle are outside.
Figure 6 is a sectional elevation on line E. F of the back plate Figure 5 showing
how the handle is mounted thereupon.
From the back plate H I raise stamp or press the pockets or other projections k
and at the end of which I make suitable holes m and n for receiving the
handle R which is provided with two internal projections & and t. The handle R
is made sufficiently wide or open that when placed with one ends in the hole of
the pocket / the other end t will just pass outside the end of the pocket / when
the handle is bent or sent inwards sufficiently to bring the projection t into the
hole u when the handle is quite secure. The pockets and may be one con-
tinuous pocket if so desired and the design may be varied according to the
circumstances of each particular case.
Figures 5 and 6 illustrate a handle W hung upon a plate T having the external
pockets u and u² into which the external projections w¹ and w³ fit. The handle W
is in this case connected to the plate as shown by Figure 6 and opened out (instead
of closed as in the previous example) until the projection to is well inserted into
the pocket u. The design of this kind of handle may also be varied to suit any

page_text: design of furniture or other position. The plate in this case may be made in two
parts in which case the handle would not require bending.
These handles may be made in any suitable metal such for instances as brass or
wrought iron or metal capable of being bent and otherwise worked.
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
1st The improvements in the manufacture of metallic handles for cabinet and
other furniture and other such like purposes of the plate H having the raised
internal pockets k and ' or one continuous intermediate socket with the handle R
constructed substantially as herein set forth.
2nd The improvements in the manufacture of metallic handles for Cabinet and
other furniture and other such like purposes of the plate T having the raised
external pockets u and u¹ with the handle W mounted therein substantially as
herein set forth.
3rd The improvements in the manufacture of metallic handles for Cabinet and
other furniture and other such like purposes of the plate T made in two parts or
otherwise with the pockets U and U₁ substantially as set forth.
