I JOHN LINDSAY of 654 Govan Rd Govan, Glasgow, General Ironmonger do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE
CONSTRUCTION OF METALLIC HANDLES FOR CHESTS BOXES &C to be as follows:-
My Invention of an improvement in the construction of metallic handles for
chests, boxes & the like, refers particularly to my original invention N° 13157
of 1884, and relates to the method of bending the broad strip. This strip, instead
of being bent first over the handle proper, and next over the rod, as described in
the original invention, is simply bent over both handle and rod at once, its end
finishing on the under instead of the upper side of the plate.
A hollow in said strip between the rod and handle proper also improves the
appearance and adds to the strength.
This way of bending the broad strip being simpler and less complicated than
the original way, the process of manufacturing the handle is thus much easier.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Figures 1 to 8 are copies of the drawings filed for the original invention. Fig. 6
shows the original way of bending the broad strip A. Fig. 9 shows the new way
the strip being simply bent over both handle and rod at once, with a hollow
between handle & rod, its end finishing on the under instead of the upper side of
the plate b & e being respectively the places, for the handle & rod.

do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE
CONSTRUCTION OF METALLIC HANDLES FOR CHESTS BOXES &c, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
My invention of an improvement in the construction of metallic handles for
chests, boxes, and the like, refers particularly to my original invention, N° 13157
of 1884, and relates to the method of bending the broad strip This strip instead
of being bent, first over the handle proper, and next over the rod, as described in
the original invention is simply bent over both handle and rod at once, its end
finishing on the under, instead of the upper side of the plate. A bollow in said
strip between the rod and handle proper, also improves the appearance and adds
to the strength.
This way of bending the broad strip, being simpler, and less complicated than
the original way, the process of manufacturing the handle, is thus much easier.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Figures 1 to 8 are copies of the drawings filed for the original invention.
Figure 6 shows the original way of bending the broad strip A. Figure 9 shows
the new way, the strip being simply bent over both handle and rod at once, with
a hollow between handle & rod its end finishing on the under instead of the upper
side of the plate, b & e. being respectively the places for the handle and rod.
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
Bending broad strip over both handle and rod at once as herein before described
and ascertained.
