COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Metal Mounts and Lids for
Jars for Jams, Butters, Biscuits, and other articles.
I HENRY PARKER trading as Henry Swadkins & Co. of 94 Gerrard Street
Lozells near Birmingham in the County of Warwick Fine Art and Electroplate
Manufacturer 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, reference being had to the drawings and to the letters
and figures marked thereon :-
This invention consists in attaching the handles or ornaments into the metal
mounts or the lids of jars for jams butters biscuits and any other articles without
the use of solder in the following manner; namely I pierce or otherwise form a
hole or holes in the metal mounts or lids and pass through from the inner or under
sides thereof into hollows or recesses in the handles or ornaments metal eyelets
rivets or pins which when closed down hold the parts firmly together. Or I can

Referring to the drawings
Fig. 1 is a view of the biscuit jar having the balls or ornaments (a) to which
the handle (b) is attached and the ball or handle (c) on the lid (d) all constructed
according to my invention. I have only illustrated these parts (a) & (c) of a
plain character but it will be obvious that they may be of any suitable ornamental
design.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged section of the ornament (a) with a hole in it at (e) and
showing the mount (ƒ) pierced with the eyelet (9) inserted and closed to hold the
parts together.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of the same parts but the holes or piercings are
tapped with the screw threads and held together by the screw (h).
The centre ornament (c) may be attached to the lid (d) in the same way as
a is to the mount (f) and if any other ornaments were required to be attached
to the mounts the handles of the description of articles to which my invention
applies they would be fixed in any of the ways above mentioned one object being
to avoid the use of solder.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is.
Attaching the handles and ornaments into the metal mounts or the lids of jars
for jams biscuits and other articles substantially as herein set forth and
illustrated.
