PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and appertaining to the Handles of Pans for
Cooking or other Purposes.
I, JOSEPH WILLIAM HALL of 31 Peel Street, Eccles near Manchester in the
County of Lancaster, Ironmonger, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
That is to say it relates to improvements in and appertaining to the handles
of pans for cooking or other purposes and consists of forming said handles and
parts attached thereto in such a manner that their utility is greatly enhanced
with little, if any, addition to their cost of production.
This I attain in accordance with this my said invention by forming the metal
handles of the pans hollow as heretofore with the exception that I form them to
have grooves running longitudinally on their outer surfaces so as to facilitate the
grip of the user's hand, and on the outer end of each of said handles I hinge a lid
or cover to be moveable so as to allow the opening therein to be uncovered
whenever desired for the insertion or withdrawal of any article such as a fork or
spoon that may be used in connection with said pan for cooking or other purposes
as is well understood.
The fork to be used in connection therewith I preferably have formed of
wire folded and twisted together so as to form the bifurcations of the fork as
well as leave an opening on its outer end for the insertion of the fingers of the
user to facilitate its withdrawal or in any case the fork or spoon or the like
to be used in connection with this handle preferably has an opening at its outer
end, however otherwise formed to facilitate its withdrawal as above described.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and appertaining to the Handles of Pans for
Cooking or other Purposes.
I JOSEPH WILLIAM HALL of 31 Peel Street, Eccles near Manchester in the
County of Lancaster, Ironmonger 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 :-
That is to say it relates to improvements in and appertaining to the handles
of pans for cooking or other purposes and consists of forming said handles and
parts attached thereto in such a manner that their utility is greatly enhanced with
little, if any addition to their cost of production.
In order that my said invention may be more readily understood I have here-
unto appended a sheet of drawings illustrative thereof to which by figures and
letters reference is made in the following description
:-
Fig. is side view of the handle of a pan made in accordance with my
invention.
Fig. 2 is sectional top view of same shewing how a fork is or may be inserted
therein.
Fig. 3 is an end view shewing the cap or cover, and
Figs. 4 and 5 are detail drawings hereinafter described.

page_text: The object of this invention is attained by forming the metal handle a hollow as
heretofore with the exception that I preferably form them to have grooves (Fig. 5
as also sectional end view Fig. 4) running longitudinally on their outer surfaces so
as to facilitate the grip of the user's hand, and on the outer end of said handle a I
hinge a lid or cover b to be moveable so as to allow the opening therein to be
uncovered whenever desired for the insertion or withdrawal of any article such as
a fork (e shewn by Fig. 2) or spoon that may be used in connection with said pan
for cooking or other purposes as is well understood.
The fork C₂ which is to be used in connection with this handle a, I preferably
form of wire folded and twisted (as at e¹) together so as to form the bifurcations e, c
as well as leave an opening d, on its outer end for the insertion of the fingers of the
user to facilitate its withdrawal, or in any case the fork or spoon or the like that is
to be used as above described, I preferably have formed with an opening, such as
the opening d, however otherwise it may be constructed so that its said manipulation
may be thereby facilitated.
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 1
claim is―
The method of forming the handles of pans substantially as herein specified and
for the purpose set forth.
