Improvements in the Manufacture of Handles to be Used for
Various Hollow Ware Vessels.
I, JOHN WILLIAM SANKEY of the firm of Joseph Sankey & Son of Albert Street
Works Bilston in the County of Stafford Hollow ware Manufacturers do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
I make my improved handle as follows.
The first operation consists in taking a blank piece of any suitable metal and by
means of suitably shaped tools I cut out and form the handle ready for beading at one
operation; that is I form a centre rib down the handle with the edges turned up
ready for folding over.
The second operation consists merely in turning over or beading the turned up
edges all round thus forming the handle with the tubular portion running down it on
each side of the centre rib.
The third operation consists in bending the end of the handle, to be attached to the
Hollowware Vessel and punching the holes for rivetting on the flap end and the
hole at the other end.
By these improvements I am enabled to manufacture the article at less cost and
it has also the advantage of being very much lighter at the same time equally strong.
Dated this 21st day of October 1886.

Various Hollowware Vessels.
I, JOHN WILLIAM SANKEY of the firm of Joseph Sankey and Son of Albert Works
Bilston in the County of Stafford Hollowware Manufacturers, 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, reference
being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters and Figures marked
thereon:--
In making this improved handle the first operation consists in taking a blank piece
of iron or other suitable metal and by means of suitably shaped tools cutting the
blank into a form such for instance as shewn in Fig. 1, ready for bending at one
operation which bending consists of forming a centre rib down the handle with the
edges turned up ready for folding over or beading as shewn in plan Fig. 2. A being
the rib and B the turned up edges.
The second operation consists merely in turning over or beading the turned up
edges, B. all round thus forming the handle as at Fig. 3. with a tubular portion B¹
running down each side of the centre rib A.
The third operation consists in bending the handle at C to enable it to be attached
to the hollow ware vessel at the required angle and in punching the holes D D D.
and E.
Fig. 4 is an enlarged section at x Fig. 2 and Fig. 5 an enlarged section at x
Fig. 3.
When desired I can give the handle extra strength at one end or for any distance,
up the handle by laying another piece of ribbed metal upon the handle when it has
been formed to the extent shewn by Fig. 2 and then turning over or beading the
edges B as described in the second operation thus gripping the extra top plate and
keeping it in position.
This is illustrated by Fig. 6 which is a section through the handle at Z Fig. 3,
supposing the top plate of metal to be extended to the dotted line at Y. In Fig. 6
A is the rib B the tubular sides gripping the extra, plate F at G G. I do not confine
myself to the bending of the metal into the precise section described and illustrated
as any section will be more or less suitable which will enable me to extend the rib or
ribs onto the flap H whereby I obtain great strength at that point.
By these improvements I am enabled to manufacture the handle at less cost than
the ordinary handle it has also the advantage of being very much lighter and at the
same time is equally strong.

page_text: 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 manufacture of handles for hollow ware vessels of one piece of metal
without welding substantially as herein described and illustrated.
2nd. The manufacture of handles for holloware vessels without welding and consisting
of a blank piece of metal bent into a beaded sectional form and having when desired
an extra piece of metal to increase the strength of the handle which extra piece
of metal is held in place by the turned over or beaded portion of the handle as
described.
