GEORGE KNIGHT LETTS Ironmonger and Tin Plate Worker 7 Milton Street
Kingsley Park Northampton do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
A clip inserted in the handles and made in sizes to suit the following articles,.
and soldered, riveted cast or screwed to, and securing the handles of saucepans,
bowls shovels stewpans ladles, fishslices gravystrainers cullanders and the like, in
tin brass, copper, iron zinc, enamelled-ware and other metals. The aforesaid
clip is made in shapes to suit the aforesaid articles, and is fixed by a small nick
being made in the handles and bent over the rim of the aforesaid articles and
soldered riveted cast or screwed to the above so that they cannot move from each
other. The clip has a point turned down which point is driven into the nick in
the saucepan handle, and then soldered, or otherwise secured thereto, then a side-
opposite the point aforesaid is bent down over the rim of the bowl or other article
aforesaid, and soldered or otherwise secured thereto, so that they cannot move
from each other. For the iron and enamelled saucepans where the handle enters
the socket it (the socket) is narrower than at the other end, the clip is cast inside-
the socket being the same shape as the socket but a size less to enable the handle
being driven outside the clip, and inside the socket (between the two) the handle
is heated and driven on and widens as the clip widens which widening prevents.
its coming out again as it is now larger than the hole through which it bas.
been driven.

GEORGE KNIGHT LETTS Ironmonger and Tin Plate Worker 7 Milton Street.
Kingsley Park Northampton 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:-
In carrying out my invention, I provide a clip D Fig. 1 or a socket and plug
Fig. 2 made in sizes to suit the following articles-saucepans, bowls, shovels,
stewpans, ladles, fish-slices gravy-strainers, collanders and the like and made in tin,
brass, copper iron, zinc, enamelled-ware and other metals.
The clip D Fig. 1 herein before mentioned is to secure the handles of wrought
iron, brass, tin, or other articles herein before mentioned to the bodies of such

page_text: articles, and is triangular in shape having at point (A) a turned down point which
is inserted in handle (B), it also has at point C a turned down flange or lap which
flange or lap overlaps the body of the aforesaid saucepan, bowl, shovel, stewpan,
ladle, fish-slice, gravystrainer, collander and is soldered brazed or otherwise
secured in position for the purpose of strongly connecting the handle and body of
the hereinbefore mentioned saucepan bowl and the like.
For cast iron and brass articles, I provide a socket F & plug E Fig. 2 herein-
before mentioned, the socket being cast on the body of the hereinbefore mentioned
saucepan, bowl, and the like is provided with a tapering hole tapering towards
the body of the saucepan, bowl, and the like hereinbefore mentioned and also
provided at (H) with a projection to match the grove in plug (E) herein before
described I also provide a solid loose plug (E) hereinbefore mentioned which plug
is tapering in shape and when fixed in position is tapering from the body of the
saucepan bowl and the like herein before mentioned and is provided with a grove
to match the projection F herein before described.
The handle (G) for the saucepans, bowls and the like hereinbefore mentioned is
of wrought iron, copper, or other metal and is round and tapering and open pointed
on one side which open point matches the herein before described projection of
socket F and grove of plug (E). In application the solid plug E is inserted in
socket F and the handle G is driven home, the action of the tapering plug
and socket expanding the end of the handle and rendering it perfectly tight and
rigid in position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
(1.) The construction of clip Fig. 1 with parts (A) and (C).
(2.) The socket (F) with part (H), the plug E & handle G, substantially as
& for the purpose herein before described.
