APPLYING MOVEABLE HANDLES TO SAUCEPANS AND OTHER HOLLOW-WARE VESSELS BY WHICH THEY MAY BE REMOVED AND REPLACED AT WILL
Year: 1884

page_text: I, HARRIS PARR, of 30 Oswyth Road Shenley Road, Camberwell in the County
of Surrey Hardware Agent do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
'APPLYING MOVEABLE HANDLES TO SAUCEPANS AND OTHER HOLLOW-WARE VESSELS
BY WHICH THEY MAY BE REMOVED AND REPLACED AT WILL," to be as follows:-
"
By casting upon or otherwise attaching to the Vessel a Socket into which
the handle when inserted will become connected by means of a bayonet joint
(Figures 1 & 2) so as to prevent its being drawn outwards, a pin is then passed
through a hole previously made in the handle, projecting on each side and resting
in two notches situate at top of Socket which will prevent the handle turning
round. A Collar encircleing the handle is next screwed onto the neck of Socket
and thus a secure joint is obtained. For the purpose of removal it is only necessary
to unscrew the Collar when each part becomes released in turn and the handle be
removed at will.
Secondly, The interior of the Socket may be made Oval in form or any shape
other than circular (Figure 3) The Socket end of handle being formed to a
corresponding shape cannot when inserted turn round, and is prevented from being
drawn outwards by means of a pin passing through the handle and having its ends
projecting on each side so as to rest on rim of Socket and be held firmly in place
by the screwed Collar pressing upon the projecting ends. By unscrewing the
Collar the parts become released and the handle be removed.
Thus the vessels can be packed for transit without the handles attached, thereby
saving space and liability of breakage.

page_text: I, HARRIS PARR of N° 30 Oswyth Road Shenley Road, Camberwell in the
County of Surrey, Hardware Agent do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for APPLYING MOVEABLE HANDLES TO SAUCEPANS AND OTHER HOLLOW-WARE
VESSELS and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement, reference being
made to drawings accompanying my Provisional Specification:—
Firstly. By casting upon or otherwise attaching to the Vessel a Socket (A)
Figure 1 with a circular or cylindrical interior and at the lower end of Socket
a fixed pin (B) is placed passing through from side to side in the line of diameter
but slightly removed from the bottom, to this pin the handle (C) when inserted in
the Socket and moved round from left to right will become attached or locked by
means of notches or wards (D) previously cut in the handle, and so will prevent it
from being drawn outwards. A loose pin (E) is now passed through a hole
previously made in the handle, projecting on each side of handle and fitting in two
notches placed in the line of diameter at top of Socket, this pin prevents the
handle from turning round, and is secured and held firmly in its place by means of
a Cast Iron or other metal Cap or Collar (F) through which the handle passes and
which being provided with a female thread is screwed onto a male thread on the
Socket, and the handle then becomes perfectly fast. For the purpose of removal
it is only necessary to remove the before mentioned Cap or Collar when each part
becomes released in turn and the handle be removed at will.
Secondly. By having the upper end of the Socket (A) Figure 2, prepared with
two downward slots (D) facing each other in the line of diameter, and each having
a return slot placed at right angles, a fixed pin (B) passed through the handle (C)
in the line of diameter and projecting on each side and at such distance from the
bottom end that when the handle is inserted in the Socket the projections will
enter the two downward slots and afterwards by a slight turn of the handle will
enter the return slots and so prevent the handle from being draw noutwards. While
in this position a loose pin (E) is passed through the handle projecting on each
side and fitting in two notches on top rim of Socket, This pin will prevent the
handle turning round and is in its turn secured and held firmly in its place by the
Collar (F) before described. By unscrewing the Collar the parts become released
and the handle removed.
Thirdly. The interior of the Socket (A) figure 3, may be made oval in form or
any shape other than circular, the Socket end of bandle (C) is made to a corre-
sponding shape so that when in the Socket it cannot turn round, the handle is
further provided with a pin (E) passing through it in the line of diameter and
projecting on each side, and at such distance from the end that when placed in the
Socket each projection will rest in a notch provided for it at top of Socket. This
pin will prevent the handle from being drawn outwards when the screwed
Collar (F) is screwed onto the Socket as before described, Thus a sound joint is
obtained which can be released at pleasure by unscrewing the Collar.
Fourthly. Having formed the end of handle (C) as before described so far as
regards the portion entering the Socket, that is to say oval in form or any shape
other than circular, and forming projections (G) Figure 4, on the outer surface of
the handle at a convenient distance from the end, the Cap or Collar when screwed
onto the Socket pressing on the projections will hold the handle firmly in position
and can be released at pleasure by unscrewing the Collar.

page_text: Fifthly. By forming on the handle one or more tongues (H) Figure 5, projecting
outwards, the same being part of the handle or riveted thereto, and the end of
handle of the same form as interior of Socket, that is to say oval or any shape
other than circular. The Cap or Collar when screwed onto the Socket pressing on
the tongues will hold the handle firmly in position and can be released at pleasure
by unscrewing the Collar.
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
1st Saucepans and other Hollow-ware Vessels having handles fitted substantially
in the manner and for the purpose hereinbefore described.
2nd The methods of attaching the handles to saucepans as set forth and described
in this specification.
