COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Handle for Tea Pots, Coffee Pots, Tea Kettles, Water
Jugs, and other Hot Liquid or Water Vessels.
I, WALTER WILLIAM HART of the Firm of Matthew J. Hart and Sons
Argyle Tin Plate Works, Great Barr Street, Birmingham in the County of
Warwick, 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 :—
This invention relates to an improved handle for tea-pots, coffee pots, tea kettles,
water jugs and other like hot liquid or water vessels and consists in making an
handle in the manner hereinafter described which will be a non-conductor of
heat.
An handle made in accordance with my invention will be particularly useful for.
all kinds of metal ressols or utensils used for hot liquids or water whereby heat
arising therefrom will be entirely prevented from reaching or being conducted to
the handle attached thereto as heretofore.
My invention consists essentially in making a solid or tubular core of any desired.
shape upon which is threaded a number of beads which may be globular, oval
or of any other shape, and may be ornamented as circumstance requires, 1 make the
beads of wood, wood pulp, paper-mache or paper pulp or of other material which is
non-conductor of heat. The beads may be turned, carved or moulded and afterwards
polished or otherwise finished.
I will describe my invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. The
same letters of reference indicating corresponding parts throughout.
Figure 1 represents tea pot and Figure 2, a ten-kettle provided with an handle
made and arranged according to my invention. Figure 3 represents a side elevation
partly in section and Figure 4 an end elevation of a tea-pot handle. A is a wire
core furnished with screw ends B B and nuts DD and shewn seperately at Figure 5.
C represents a number of beads, one being shewn seperately at Figure 6 which are
threaded on the wire core A after it is bent into the desired shape. A rose or
terminal E being placed next the beads C, the nuts DD being screwed home holds
the beads in position. The handle thus formed is attached to a tea-pot either by
soldering or otherwise fixing by the roses E, E, as shewn in Figure 1.
Figure 2 shews the manner in which a similar handle may be applied to a tea-
kettle the beads C being held in position by screwed terminals E' E' which are
afterwards attached to the kettle.
Figure 7, represents a side elevation partly in section, and Figure 8 an end
elevation of an handle, which may be attached to a coffee pot or hot water jug.
In this arrangement the wire core A is replaced by a tubular core A'. The
beads C being fixed into position by the terminals E E' provided with screw
sockets F, F, thus forming an air passage G through the entire handle and allowing
a current of air to pass therethrough thus keeping the same cool.
Figure 9, shews the manner in which a tubular core A' may be applied to a
ten-pot handle the beads C being attached in a similar manner to those before
described the tubular core A* terminating in the terminals E E provided with air
passages I, I.
Figure 10 shews a similar arrangement of applying a tubular core to a tea-kettle.
The terminals E' E' may be varied for different vessels as circumstances require
for the purpose of forming an air passage through the handle. Figure 11 shews &
double bead which may be used for an handle. Figure 12, shews another form

page_text: I wish it to be understood I do not confine myself to any particular form or
configuration, or size of the beads used for effecting the purpose described but
may vary the same on any detail as may be necessary to carry the object into
effect.
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 :-
First. The improved handle of the kind described for metallic, tea-pots, coffee-pots,
water jugs and other similar vessels or utensils for containing hot liquids or water,
whereby the heat is prevented from being conducted thereto substantially as
hereinbefore described and illustrated in the drawings.
Secondly. The construction of an handle for hot water vessels or. utensils
as hereinbefore described consisting of a wire core A or its equivalent upon
which is threaded a number of beads C for the purpose substantially set forth.
Thirdly. The construction of an handle for hot water vessels or utensils herein-
before described consisting of a tubular core A* for the purpose of allowing a
current of air to pass therethrough as described upon which is threaded a number
of beads C substantially as described and illustrated and for the purpose set
forth.
Fourthly. The improved handle for tea pots, coffee pots, water jugs, substantially
as hereinbefore described and illustrated in the several figures of the accompanying
drawings, and for the purpose set forth.-
Dated this 12th day of March 1894.
