PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Handles of the kind known as
"Cabinet Handles," but applicable to other like purposes.
EDWIN ALFRED ALLEN, GEORGE EGGINTON CARTER trading as E. A. Allen & Co.
Stampers and Piercers 67 & 68 Mott Street Birmingham do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to improvements in handles known as "cabinet handles" (in
more particular) but may be employed for other like purposes.
We will now describe our invention to one of its many purposes that is a cabinet
handle for drawers.
We construct a back plate of a required length from sheet or rolled metal by
preference, by means of piercing or cutting out tools, the edge of which is con-
figurated by this process of any suitable design.
This plate is oblong, and near to each end we raise a stud or cup and partially
free the same, the raising of the stud or cup being effected by tools, and the freeing
of the same by piercing tools, this operation is carried out from the back of the plate
and will thus allow the studs or cups to be brought to the front and assume a
perpendicular position, or right angles to the surface of the plate.
. The handle proper is now engaged by springing its ends into the studs or cups
as above described, which conceals the ends of the handle, which by the olden
method has been exposed, being very unsightly and dangerous.

Improvements in or relating to Handles of the kind known as
"Cabinet Handles," but applicable to other like purposes.
We, EDWIN ALFRED ALLEN, and GEORGE EGGINTON CARTER trading as
E. A. Allen & Company 67 and 68 Mott Street Birmingham Stampers and
Piercers, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
Our invention relates to improvements in handles known as "cabinet handles" (in
more particular) but may be employed for other like purposes. We will now
describe our invention to one of its many purposes, a cabinet handle for drawers.
We construct a back-plate of a required length, from sheet or rolled metal, by
preference, by means of piercing or cutting out tools, the edge of which is con-
figurated by this process and of any suitable design. This plate is oblong usually
and near to each end we raise a stud or cup, and partially free the same the
raising of the studs or cups being effected by tools and the freeing of the same
by piercing tools, this operation is carried out from the back of the plate, and will
thus allow the studs or cups to be brought to the front, and assume a perpen-
dicular position or right angles to the surface of the plate. The handle is now
engaged by springing its ends into the studs or cups as above described which

page_text: conceals the ends of the handle which by the olden method has been exposed,
being very unsightly and dangerous.
And in order that this our said invention may be more fully understood, we will
now proceed to describe the same, reference being made to the accompanying sheet
of drawings. The same letters of reference denote like or corresponding parts in
each figure where they occur.
Figure 1 and Figure 2 are respectively a view in elevation and a side view of a
back plate for a handle constructed according to our invention.
Figure 3 is a view in elevation of the above, with the handle applied thereto.
Figure 4 and Figure 5 are respectively a view in elevation and a side view of a
back-plate constructed according to our invention.
Figures 1. 2, and 3-a the back plate is constructed from rolled or sheet metal
bb, are the studs, these are raised or cupped from the back of a, and having a pierced
aperture partially surrounding it, shewn at c, frees b as Figure 1 and allows it to
be raised to the position shewn in Figure 2 and for receiving the handle d, (to
work, therein) which is effected by either springing the plate a, or the handled,
slightly for the ends of d to engage in the studs or cups b, as shown at Figure 3.
Figures 4 and 5-a the back plate is constructed by casting and with the
aperture c, which as before described allows the studs or 'cups b, being raised to
receive the ends of the handle d, to work therein as above set forth.
Having now described our invention we would observe in conclusion that we do
not limit ourselves to the figures or drawings here shown as these are merely
illustrative, nor to forms or details of construction but contemplate necessary or
desirable changes in form or ornament without departing essentially from the principle
of our said invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is:
In "Improvements in or relating to handles of the kind known as cabinet
handles but applicable to other like purposes
"
1. The construction of a back-plate a with aperture c and the raised or cupped
studs bb (from rolled or sheet metal) for receiving the ends of d, substantially as
hereinbefore described and shewn at Figures. 1. 2. 3.
2. The construction of a back plate a with aperture and the raised or cupped
studs b. b. (by casting) for receiving the ends of d, substantially as herein before
described and shewn at Figures 4 and 5.
3. The general construction and arrangement of parts substantially as herein-
before described in the foregoing specification and illustrated on the accompanying
sheet of drawings.
