squeasing the handle a lever lifts the latch on the inside of the door & opens
it. A receiver is fixed on the frame of the door to receive the latch. There is

Improvements in Door Handles and the like.
AMBROSE JONES, Cabinet Maker, Warwick House, Bangor, North Wales, 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 follow-
ing statement:-
-
The handle is made of tubing, or wood, or any other composition. The handle
is made in two parts with a spring inside according to drawings enclosed.
The handle is made to be squeezed and by the action of the two parts it will
open a catch or a latch. The tongue or lever will work horizontal or perpen-
dicular.
It works as a wedge and forces the catch out of the receiver.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what matter the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is: -
The handles consist of two parts, the outer tubing or stationary handle, and
inner smaller handle which is secured to the outer handle with a small metal
pin through each, so as to retain it in position at the lower end, and allowing
it to move as on a pivot.
A metal spring is secured inside the outer handle or tubing pressing against
the upper part of the inner handle.
At the top of the inner handle a metal wedge or lever is attached securing
the two together, this lever has a notch made at or near the centre of the door,
or at the inner side of the door, diminishing at the full width of the lever, cut-
ting deep enough to force a lever which may be round or square in section, out
of the receiver. The lever works either vertical or horizontal.
.
The lever is inserted in a metal case, having a spring inside to keep the lever
projecting any distance from the edge of the door. At the end inserted in the
door this lever has a small wheel in a groove, secured in position by a pin
through the lever, this wheel presses against the lever so that when the handles
are squeezed it forces the inner handle in, compelling the lever to move, either
to press against the small inner handle thereby drawing back the lever and
releasing the catch out of the receiver.
