Improvements in and connected with Mountings for the Lids of Jugs
and other Vessels.
I, FRIEDRICH RICHARD WOLF, of Buchholz in Saxony in the German Empire,
Master Tinsmith, 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:-
This invention consists in an improved construction of mountings for the lids
of jugs, tankards and other vessels formed with handles and made of glass, porce-
lain, metal or any other material, which construction permits an easy detachment
of the lid and mounting or hinge. The washing and rinsing of the vessels is
greatly facilitated thereby, the lids guardeu against damage by knocks and the
like, and the economical advantage is gained that repairs of the lids which
frequently break off can be easily and cheaply made and the mounting can be
removed from broken vessels without expense and re-used for new vessels.
The improved mounting is represented on the accompanying drawing, on which
Figure 1 shows a side view of the lid mounting attached to the handle of a vessel,
and
Figure 2 a front view of the mounting.
For fixing the hinge a of the lid a¹ to the handle, I employ the clip b, preferably
made rectangular and let into grooves or recesses on the handle to obtain a
better hold thereon, which clip is rendered detachable by the arrangement of a
cover c with a hinge d at one end and a spring catch f at the other. The cover c,
as can be readily seen on Figure 2, hooks over the side g bent round a little at its
lower end, and presses the sides of the clip firmly against the handle. Instead of
being rectangular, the clip may have other forms corresponding with the sectional
form of the handle, which may be of any suitable section preventing the clip from
turning on it.
For detaching the lid a¹ the cover c only requires to be opened, when the clip
with the lid can be pushed off the handle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
1. The construction or arrangement of detachable mountings for the lids of
jugs and other vessels formed with handles, substantially as hereinbefore describe i
and illustrated by the drawings.
2. In mountings for the lids of jugs and the like the arrangement of a clip for
attaching the mounting to a handle with a hinged cover locked by a spring catch,
substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described and illustrated by the
drawings.
3. In combination with a detachable mounting constructed substantially as
herein before described, for the lid of a jug or the like, recessing the handle of

substantially as and for the purpose described.
