IMPROVEMENTS IN POT HANDLES
Year: 1884

page_text: I, WILLIAM TELFER, Manager to Messieurs Walter Neilson & Co of Park
Foundry, Kinning Park, in the county of Renfrew, do hereby declare the nature
of my said Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN POT HANDLES," to be as follows:-
This Invention consists of improvements in the construction of handles for pots,
stew pans, and similar culinary utensils.
The improved handle is formed from a tapered blank cut from sheet-iron or
steel, and which is bent longitudinally so that it is of U shape in cross section, and
is stamped or pressed to form a transverse groove or bead at the end. Into this
groove is fitted a metal ring, and the U-shaped strip is then further bent until it
is of circular or oval cross section (according to the form of ring used) and the edges
of the strip meet in a longitudinal line. The metal ring is then embraced within
the grooved part of the sheet-metal strip, and the extreme end is bent or pressed
inwards over the ring, so that a solid bead is formed at the end of the handle. If
the metal ring employed has not been welded the joint is placed opposite the solid
part of the strip forming the handle, so that when the bead is formed at the end of
the handle, it may not open out at the joint. Instead of the ring being embraced
by the sheet-metal strip, the ring may be fitted outside, in which case a solid
ring should be used, and the groove for the reception of the ring should be
formed from the outer side of the strip. The ring is fitted on the end of the
handle after it has been bent to the circular form of cross section, and the extreme
end of the strip is partly bent or pressed round the ring to prevent it slipping out.
The opposite end of the handle is attached to the pot or other utensil in the
usual way.

Foundry, Kinning Park, in the County of Renfrew, do hereby declare the nature of
my said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN POT HANDLES," and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
My Invention consists of improvements in the construction of handles for pots,
stew pans, and similar culinary utensils.
The several Figures in the accompanying Drawings illustrate the mode of
constructing the improved pot handles.
The improved handle is formed from a tapered blank A cut from sheet iron or
steel, and which is bent longitudinally, so that it is of U-shape in cross section, as
is shown in Figure 1, and is then stamped or pressed to form a transverse groove
or bead á at the end, as is indicated in Figure 2. Into this groove is fitted a metal
ring b, and the U-shaped strip is then further bent until it is of circular or oval
cross section (according to the form of ring used) and the edges of the strip meet in
a longitudinal line, as shown in Figure 3. The metal ring is then embraced within
the grooved part of the sheet metal strip, and the extreme end is then bent or
pressed inwards over the ring, so that a solid bead a¹ is formed at the end of the
handle. If the metal ring (b) employed has not been welded, the joint-is-placed
opposite the solid part of the strip forming the handle, so that when the bead is
formed at the end of the handle it may not open out at the joint. Instead of the
ring being embraced by the sheet metal strip, the ring may be fitted outside, in
which case a solid ring should be used, and the groove for the reception of the ring
should be formed from the outer side of the strip. The ring is fitted on the end of
the handle after it has been bent to the circular form of cross section, and the
extreme end of the strip is partly bent or pressed round the ring to prevent it
slipping out. The opposite end of the handle is attached to the pot or other utensil
in the usual way, as is indicated in figure 4.
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,-
First. The improved pot handle herein described and illustrated.
Second. That improvement in the construction of pot handles which consists in
forming a bead or groove at the outer end of a sheet-iron or steel blank, and
pressing or bending the sheet metal to embrace a metal ring and form a solid bead
on the pot handle, substantially as berein described and illustrated.
Dated this Twenty-fourth day of November 1884.
