We EDWARD FISHER and HENRY WALTON LUDLOW of Albion Works Sherlock
Street Birmingham in the County of Warwick Manufacturers and JOHN HICKMAN of
No. 10 Court, 5 House, Nelson Street South Birmingham aforesaid Forger do hereby
declare the nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN HANDLES FOR SAUCE-
PANS to be as follows:-
The said invention consists in making handles for saucepans in two parts and joining
the said parts together in the manner hereinafter described.
The said invention is applicable to tubular handles and to flat bar handles and
handles having other figures in cross section.
We will describe the invention as applied to a tubular handle.
The said handle is made in two parts namely of a tubular grip part and a part by
which the handle is attached to the saucepan the said attaching part being commonly
called the "flap." We make the separate flap or attaching part of a triangular shaped
plate slightly curved to fit against the convex surface of the saucepan and at about the
middle of that side of the flap or plate which is situated highest when the handle is
attached to the saucepan a short conical inclined socket is made. The said conical
socket is of a size and shape suitable to receive the smaller end of the taper tubular
handle or grip. The separate handle or grip part and the flap or attaching part are
connected together by passing the smaller end of the handle into the socket of the flap
and expanding or clinching the extreme end of the said handle or grip part upon the
inner face of the flap. The two parts of the handle are thus connected together and
the handle is ready to be secured to the saucepan.
The said flap or attaching part of the handle is made either by casting or by
stamping the cast or stamped flap being furnished with the required holes for the rivets
to pass through by which the handle is rivetted to the saucepan.

We EDWARD FISHER and HENRY WALTON LUDLOW of Albion Works, Sherlock
Street Birmingham in the County of Warwick, Manufacturers and JOHN HICKMAN of
No. 10 Court 5 House Nelson Street South Birmingham aforesaid, Forger do hereby
declare the nature of our invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN HANDLES FOR SAUCEPANS and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
The said invention consists in making handles for saucepans in two parts and
joining the said parts together in the manner hereinafter described.
The said invention is applicable to tubular handles and to flat bar handles and
handles having other figures in cross section.
We will describe the invention as applied to a tubular handle.
The said handle is made in two parts namely of a tubular grip part and a part by
which the handle is attached to the saucepan the said attaching part being commonly
called the "flap." We make the separate flap or attaching part of a triangular shaped
plate slightly curved to fit against the convex surface of the saucepan and at about the
middle of that side of the flap or plate which is situated highest when the handle is
attached the saucepan a short conical inclined socket is made. The said conical socket
is of a size and shape suitable to receive the smaller end of the taper tubular handle or
grip. The separate handle or grip part and the flap or attaching part are connected
together by passing the smaller end of the handle into the socket of the flap and
expanding or clinching the extreme end of the said handle or grip part upon the inner
face of the flap.
The two parts of the handle are thus connected together and the handle is ready to
be secured to the saucepan.
The said flap or attaching part of the handle is made either by casting or by
stamping, the cast or stamped flap being furnished with the required holes for the
rivets to pass through by which the handle is riveted to the saucepan.
In applying the said invention to flat bar and other handles, the socket in the flap
has an
oblong or other form for the flat bar or other handle to fit in, the inner end of
the flat or other handle being expanded or riveted to the inner face of the flap as
described with respect to a tubular handle.
I will now proceed to describe with reference to the accompanying drawings the
manner in which the handles are made.

Figure 16 is a section of figure 13 on the line L M.
Figure 17 is a transverse section of a hexagonal shaped handle.
Figure 18 is a transverse section of an oval handle.
In carrying out our invention we provide a flap as represented at figures 1, 2 and 3.
This flap will by preference be produced by a stamping process but we do not confine
ourselves to so producing it as we can where required form and produce it of cast
metal.
We next provide a tubular handle as represented at a figure 8: this handle is by
preference tapered as represented. The tapered end is passed through the tapered
socket of the flap figure 3; it is then expanded or clinched as represented at e
figure 8 The clinching would prevent the handle moving out of the socket b and as
the socket is tapered the handle would be secured from moving in the direction of the
end f. The tubular handle is provided with a cap g. The complete arrangement as
represented at figure 8 would in some cases be passed into a bath of tin, spelter, or
other similar coating metal, the result of which would be that the cap g would be
secured to the body a, the small end of the handle would also be sealed in its socket
and thus made additionally strong and rigid.
Handles made by our improved system will be complete in themselves without
passing into the bath but we prefer to dip them for additional strength. Instead of
dipping we may however run a film of solder at the joint h and socket entrance j, also
down the seam k of the tubular part.
In making flat handles we produce our flap in the form represented at figures 4, 5, 6
and 7: an opening is provided in the flap at 1 through which to pass the cranked end
of the flat handle: the flap is pressed or otherwise formed into a recess as indicated in
section figure 5 and section figure 7. It will be observed that the handle represented
at figure 12 is of the curved transverse section represented at figures 15 and 16; the
cranked end m is passed through the opening and secured in position by means of
the rivet n, or instead of the rivet the cranked end m can be expanded so as to closely
fit the recess v. Instead of having the convex surface p uppermost as indicated at
figure 11 we can form our handles with the crank m turned the reverse way to what it
is shewn at figure 12, and thus bring the concave side q uppermost instead of the
convex side p.
.
We do not confine ourselves to making the barrel of the handle figure 8 of the
transverse sections shewn at figures 9 and 10 as it may if required be made of the
transverse section shewn at figures 17 or 18 or of any other suitable transverse section.
We do not confine ourselves to making the socket, of the circular internal configura-
tion represented at r as it may be made in accordance with the transverse section of
the tubular handle.
Handles made either as represented in a complete form at figure 8 or as represented
in a complete form at figure 11 can be secured to saucepans or other utensils by means
of rivets or screws passing through the holes s figures 1, 3, 5, and 6.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we claim is
1st. The making of handles in the manner illustrated and described.
2nd. In a handle the combination of a tubular grip part with a socketed clip as
illustrated at figure 8.
3rd. In a handle the combination of a bar grip part with a recessed clip as
illustrated at figure 11.
