page_text: 1 ARTHUR BARBER of Colwick Vale, near Nottingham, Commercial Traveller do
hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to those classes of large ewers and water jugs made in porce-
lain, earthenware or other similar material which by reason of their bulk and weight
have hitherto been awkward and inconvenient to lift or handle and consists in
constructing the same with two distinct and separate handles one placed below the
other in order that the article may be manipulated by both hands of the user.
In performing my invention I arrange that one handle shall be as near as possible
to the centre of gravity and be for the use of the right hand and the other to serve
as a guiding handle for the left hand.
In this manner I construct a ewer or water jug capable of being lifted and operated
with greater ease and comfort than heretofore.

page_text: Improvements in Ewers and other Jugs.
I ARTHUR BARBER of Colwick Vale, Nottingham, Commercial Traveller do
hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement
This invention relates to those classes of large owers and water jugs made in
porcelain, earthenware or other similar material which by reason of their bulk and
weight have hitherto been awkward and inconvenient to lift or handle and consists
in constructing the same with two distinct and separate handles one placed below
or at an angle to the other in order that the article may be manipulated by both
hands of the user.
And in order that this my said invention may be the more readily understood and
carried into practical effect I have hereunto annexed a drawing illustrative of my
improvements and will now proceed to describe the same with the assistance of the
4 Figures and letters of reference marked thereon.
Fig. 1 is a side view of a Ewer or Toilet jug constructed with two handles in
accordance with my invention.
In performing my invention I arrange that the lower handle a shall be as near as
possible to the centre of gravity and be for the use of the right hand and the other
handle b to serve as a guiding handle for the left hand.
In this manner I construct a Ewer or water jug capable of being lifted and operated
with greater ease and comfort than heretofore.
C
In some cases instead of having one handle immediately below the other i place
the upper handle cas illustrated perspectively in Fig. 2 at right angles with the lower
handled and with the spout and in this case the handle c is more conveniently used
by the left hand and the handled by the right hand. The handle c might also be
arranged upon the same level as the lower handle d but still at right angles therewith.
I also construct my improved Ewer as shewn in Fig. 3 with the upper handle e
arranged across the mouth and the lower handle at the back of the Ewer or with
one handle
g as shown in Fig. 4 and the other handle placed either at right angles
or in the same plane to the handle g immediately under the spout and slightly projecting
from the body of the jug as illustrated.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said inven-
tion I declare that what I claim is :-
The improved construction of Ewers and other jugs substantially as hereinbefore
described and illustrated on the 4 Figures of the accompanying drawing.
