Improvements in Handles for Doors.
JOSEPH KAYE of Bank House Kirkstall, Leeds in the County of York, Lock
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to have a handy means of opening and closing doors
which are fitted with my push & pull latches which I invented and patented
December 1877. I accomplish my object by forming a handle in any suitable design
of wood or other material. I fix the handle in a frame of which I prefer to be about
the shape of the letter D the streight part being the handle. At the mck of the
frame there is a projection thus D into which my push & pull lock spindle is
screwed. I fix a plate of some material to the door or lock-case, which has a hole or
socket about its centre for the projection of the handle frame to slide in, and form the
projection in such a shape and also the hole in the plate for the handle frame to slide
in that the handle cannot be turned after being fixed for use. I prefer the handles
being fixed to stand in a verticle position.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Handles for Doors.
I, JOSEPH KAYE, of Bank House, Kirkstall, Leeds, in the County of York, Lock
Manufacturer, do liereby 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 :-
The object of this invention is to provide a handy means of opening and closing
doors fitted with my push and pull latches invented and patented by me in December
1877, and consists in arranging the handles on each side the door so that the same
after fixing cannot be turned on the latch operating spindle and thus, derange the
efficient working of the latch tongue.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1. represents an elevation of a handle passing
through a flanged cup shown in section.
Fig. 2. is a front view of the flanged cup.
Fig. 3. a section through a door fitted with a pair of knobs or handles arranged
according to my invention, a flanged cup and a portion of a knob or handle are
shown in section.
Fig. 4. a view of a flanged cup.
Fig. 5. an end view of a knob or handle bush.
Fig. 6. a side view of a pair of handles fitted to one of my push and pull
latches.
Fig. 7. a plan of the same partly in section.
Fig. 8. a front view of a handle plate, and
Fig. 9. a view of a handle fitted with a round spindle, part of the handle is shown
in section.
The handles or knobs may be of various designs, the bandle represented by Fig. 1.
is somewhat D shaped; at the back of the frame A. a projection is formed, a portion
of which at B. is cylindrical and at C. by preference square, which passes through a
similar hole at C formed in flanged cup plate D.
In Fig. 3. the knobs or handles E. are fitted with bushes F. the projecting portion
at C. is made square to pass through a similar hole C" in bottom of flanged cup
plate D.

On placing a spindle S. through a door and latch, and screwing the handles or
knobs A. or E. thereon with the flanged cup plates on the squares, the handles
or knobs may be adjusted on the spindle S. so that the collar G. is the proper distance
from the face of the door at H. in relation to the latch lever, when on fastening the
flanged cup plates to the door by screws in the ordinary manner, the handles or knobs
cannot be turned on the spindles by reason of the square portion C. of each handle
or knob passing through a similar hole in the bottom of the respective flanged cup
plates, thus securing the handles, so that when once set they are always in the proper
position for operating the latch lever.
With handles hinged at the side as at J. the spindle S. may be attached to the
handles by forming a socket in the ond K. and placing therein a bush L. having a
hole bored and threaded for the reception of spindle S. On adjusting the threaded
bush. L. on the spindle and bringing the collar G. in proper position in relation to the
latch lever, the bush is then attached to the handle by passing a pin M. through the
socket and bush, by which means the handle may be operated and the spindle S.
retain its horizontal position and thereby operate the latch lever and tongue.
The latch lever N. and tongue 0. may be operated direct from the hinged handle
by forming the top part at P. passing through the liandle plate Q. with a recess at R.,
the handle on the opposite side of the door is provided with a screwed spindle at T.
which is adjusted so as to come near the top part P. of the handle on the opposite
side of the door so that on operating either handle, the latch lever N. and tongue 0.
are operated and the position of the landles in relation to the latch lever retained after
once fixing.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention,
and in what manner the same may be performed, I declare that what I claim is-
The method of operating the levers of push and pull latches by knobs or handles
that cannot be turned when adjusted and attached to the door, all arranged sub-
stantially in the manner as shown and described...
