PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvement in the Construction of Metallic Handles for Chests,
Boxes, and the like.
I, JOHN LINDSAY, 19, Shand Street, Wishaw, in the County of Lanark, Iron-
monger, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention of improvement in the construction of metallic handles for chests,
boxes, and the like, refers to those handles with stops on the plate for keeping
the bow at or about right angles to the chest, or box when in use, and relates to
the method of fixing the bow to the plate, and forming the stop. The plate is slit
about half an inch or so from each side, just sufficient to admit the bow, and
pressed or stamped up so as to form both a sheath for the bow to work in, and a
ridge above that for the stop, which checks the action of the bow. The top part
of the plate can be either left flat for screws, or it can be bent inwards, so as
to form a kind of hollow tube, either of angular, or round section. This tube
can be further strengthened, either by fitting inside it another tube, or else a solid
rod, of suitable section.
The bow is made bent at the grip part, so as to set back the ends wide enough
apart to enter the sheath of the plate. The bow is held in a vice or suitable tool,
with its ends opposite the sheath, and a squeeze of the vice straightens the bow,
and sends the ends into their place.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Figures 1 & 4 show plates slit at each side at A, and stamped up so as to form
a sheath B for the bow, and a ridge C for the stop.
Figure 3 shows a bow bent at the grip part D, and Figure 2 shows it inserted in
the sheath of the plate.
Figure 1 shows the plate with the top part left flat for screws.
Figure 4 shows it bent inward of an angular section, and
Figure 5 shows it bent of a round section.
The hollow tube E Figures 4 and 5 can be further strengthened by inserting,
either a tube, or solid rod, of suitable section.

I, JOHN LINDSAY, 19, Shand Street, Wishaw, in the County of Lanark, Iron-

the following statement:
―
My invention of improvements in the construction of metallic handles, for
chests, boxes, and the like, refers to those handles with stops on the plates for
keeping the bow at or about right angles to the chest, or box, when in use and
relates to the method of fixing the bow to the plate, and forming the stop. The
plate is slit about half an inch or so from each side, just sufficient to admit the
bow, and pressed or stamped up so as to form both a sheath for the bow, and a
ridge above that for the stop which checks the action of the bow. The top part
of the plate can either be left flat for screws, or it can be bent inwards, so as 'to
form a kind of hollow tube, either of angular or round section. This hollow tube.
can be further strengthened, either by fitting inside it another tube, or else a solid
rod of suitable section. The bow is made bent at the grip part, so as to set back
the ends wide enough apart to admit of their entering the sheath of the plate.
The bow is then held in a vice, or other suitable tool, with its ends opposite the
sheath, and a squeeze of the vice straightens the bow at the grip part, and sends
the ends into their place in the sheath.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS SENT WITH PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Figures 1 & 4 show plates slit at each side at A and stamped up so as to form
a sheath B for the bow and a ridge C for the stop. Figure 3
shows a bow bent at the grip part part D, and Figure 2 shows it inserted
in the sheath of the plate. Figure 1 shows the plate with the top part left-flat
for screws. Figure 4 shows it hent inwards of an angular section, and Figure 5
shows it bent inwards of a round section. The hollow tube E Figures 4 & 5 can
be further strengthened by inserting either a tube or solid rod of suitable section.
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
1. The manner of fixing the bow to the plate, by slitting and stamping up the
plate and inserting the bow, as hereinbefore described.
2. Stamping up the plate with the second ridge for the stop, the top part
being either left flat, or bent inwards, to form a kind of tube, as herein before
described.
