PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with Metallic Cups.
I, WILLIAM JAMES TRANTER, of Priory Cottage, Castle Road, Tipton, in the
County of Stafford, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in or connected with metallic cups and
consists as follows:-
The cup itself is made from a solid drawn long tube and preferably of steel
cut into short lengths according to the height of the required cup. This short
cut off length is further tapered or otherwise shaped by press tools or by the
spinning process, and a bottom secured therein by such being forced into position.
I further form what may be termed a spring handle that is the handle may be
made from a strip, or of wire bent into the required shape, which shall afford a
spring action between its upper and lower ends, such ends being turned up at
right angles so as to clip over the edge of the cup, top and bottom, the said edges
of the cup being preferably cut away or recessed to accommodate and fix the
handle in position.
The cup and handle may be plated, polished &c. inside and outside in the
ordinary way.
Such a cup and handle are thus made in a cheap and strong manner, and also
afford ready and easy means of keeping such clean from time to time.
Dated this 14th day of October 1896.

Improvements in or connected with Metallic Cups.
I, WILLIAM JAMES TRANTER, of Priory Cottage, Castle Road, Tipton, in the
County of Stafford, Engineer, 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 improvements in or connected with metallic cups and
consists as follows:-
The cup itself is made from a solid drawn long tube and preferably of steel
cut into short lengths according to the height of the required cup. This short
cut off length is further tapered or otherwise shaped by press tools or by the
spinning process, and a bottom secured therein by such being forced into position.
I further form what may be termed a spring handle whose upper part is made to
[Price 8d.1

page_text: clip over the upper edge of the cup, where preferably a portion of such edge is cut
away to fit such handle. The bow like shape of the handle may serve itself to
afford the spring action or a special formation for such purpose may be made.
The lower end of such handle similarly takes onto the bottom of the cup and into
a similarly cut away part of the same."
In order to more clearly explain the nature of this my invention, I have appended
hereunto an illustrative drawing, upon which are figures and numbers of reference,
similar numbers referring throughout the several views to the same thing or part.
Fig. 1, shows a portion of tube in section from which I construct the cup.
Fig. 2, is a sectional view of the tube after being pressed or spun to its taper
shape, and with portions cut away for the reception of the spring handle.
Fig. 3, is an edge séctional view of the bottom.
↓
Fig. 4, is a sectional view of the finished cup, with the bottom fitted thereinto,
and the detachable handle attached thereto.
Fig. 5, is a modified form of detachable handle, and Fig. 6, shows the same
attached to the cup.
8, is a portion of tube from which the cup is constructed. This is placed into
suitable tools, such as a press, or it may be spun in a lathe to produce in either
case the shape as shown at Sa in Fig. 2, or other shape as may be desired. -9, 9, are
cut away portions into which a suitable spring handle fits. 10, is the bottom
which is forced into the cup or tube 8ª, and preferably it is further secured in its
position by spinning or pressing inwards the exterior of the cup at 8b.
11, is a handle which is made of springy character, so that its ends 12 and 13,
can be clipped over and into the cut away portions 9, 9, of the cup, and thus
form a ready means of attachment and detachment for the cleaning of the said
cup or handle.
is
In Figs. 5 and 6, I have shown a modification of the handle, in which 11",
the handle portion, and 14 is a ring secured thereto, into which the cup is passed,
such ring if desired may be made springwise with a break opening at front as
indicated by dotted lines at 14", so as to bind around the cup, and with the
end 13 fitting beneath the said cup.
The cup and handle may be plated, polished &c. inside and outside in the
ordinary way.
Such a cup and handle are thus made in a cheap and strong manner, and also
afford ready and easy means of keeping such clean from time to time.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. The method of and means for constructing metallic cups, substantially as
herein set forth and shown in reference to Figures 1 to 4 inclusive.
2. The combination with a cup 8ª, of a springy handle 11, having spring clips 12
and 13 for gripping top and bottom edge of cup, as set forth and shown in Fig. 1.
3. The modified combination with cup 8, of the spring clip handle 11ª, having
band 14, and bottom clip 13ª, as set forth and shown in Figs. 5 and 6.
