PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and connected with Handles and Fastenings for
Stoppers and the like, and for Use with Bottles, Jars, and other.
Vessels or Articles.
I, CHARLES EBENEZER CHALLIS of 74 Amhurst Park London N. Machinist
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to provide simple cheap, and efficient haudles &c.
and means for attaching them to various articles such as bottles, jars, and other
vessels.
Around the neck, or around a groove ring or an equivalent upon the article or
vessel, I place two semicircular pieces of wire (preferably of half round trans-
verse section) each end of which is turned outwards radially from the vessel, thus
forming a band or clamp around the vessel with projections on opposite sides, these
projections are then passed through the hole or eye formed at each end of the
handle or swing piece and the extreme ends are then slightly opened by a suitable
tool, thus preventing the accidental disconnection of any part. The handle or
swing piece may be of round or flat wire, shaped to afford a comfortable grip to the
hand, or to secure a stopper or seal in position on the mouth of a bottle, with holes
or eyes at each end through which the ends of the band or clamp may be passed as
before mentioned.
It is apparent that the band or clamp may be made in one piece and that the
shape of it, and also of the handle or swing piece may be varied to suit various
requirements and that they may be inade wholly or partly of substances other than
metal.
