FRANK E. ROBERTS, OF NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR TO SARGEN 'T & COMPANY, OF NEVI HAVEN, CONNECTICUT, A CORPORATION OF CONNECTICUT.
GASKET-HANDLE.
Specification of Letters Patent Patented Apr. 20, 1920.
Application filed June 28, 1918. Serial No. 242,362.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK E. ROBERTS, a citizen of the United States,residing in the city and county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gasket-Handles, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to improvements in casket handles, and more particularly to an improvement in the type of handle grip which forms the subject-matter of the Edward R. Sargent Patent No. 913,999.
The patent just mentioned discloses an improved construction of the handle grip or central portion of the handle bar, which is provided to inclose the core of the handle bar to give the structure a more pleasing appearance. In this patent, the, handle grip which incloses the core is constructed of a plurality of sheet metal parts secured together along their longitudinal edges.
The principal object of my present invention is to provide the parts forming the type of handle grip above referred to with cooperating means upon their lateral edges for locking these parts together about the core of the handle bar.
To this and other ends, the invention consists in the novel features and combinations of parts to be hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawing,
Figure 1 represents a front elevation of a casket handle embodying my invention;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged rear view of part of the gripping portion of the handle embodying the invention;
' Fig. 3 is an end view of the gripping portion of the handle;
Fig. 4: is a transverse sectional view on the line 4.4L of Fig. 1, and
Fig. 5 is a perspective detail view of the gripping portion ofthe handle, showing the parts of which the same is constructed separated.
In the drawing, the parts designated by the numeral represent the socket plates of a casket handle or similar article, which are adapted to be secured to a casket or the like by screws 11. 12 designates depending arms pivoted to the socket plates and supporting the handle bar 13, which is provided with the usual core or bar 1 1 of wood, metal, or other suitable material. The ends 15 of the handle bar may be of any suitable design.
The grip or central portion 16 of the handle bar is formed, as more particularly shown in Fig. 5, of a plurality of thin metal plates 17 and 18, whichv are preferably stamped out of sheet metal stock and then bent transversly to give the same a substantially U-shaped configuration in cross-section. Each of the parts 17 and 18 may be formed as shown more particularly in Fig. 4;, with five faces 19 and 20, and when the two parts are assembled by inserting the marginal portions 20 of the part 18 within the marginal portions 19 of the part 17, as shown more particularly in Fig. 4., the whole gripping portion will present eight surfaces, or, in other words, be of octagonal form in cross-section.
The construction so far described is similar to that disclosed in the Patent No. 94:8,999 above mentioned. The novelty of my present invention consists in the means for securing the parts 17 and 18 together in order that these parts may be easily assembled about the core 14: and locked to gether to form a handle grip without requiring the use of solder or other form of metallic cement. The preferred means which I provide for securing the parts 17 and 18 together consists of a plurality of lugs 21 formed upon one of the members, for example 17, and upon the other member 18 are formed a plurality of slots 22 positioned so that the lugs 21 will extend through these slots, as shown in Fig. 4, when the parts 17 and 18 are assembled, thus forming a very simple and satisfactory means for locking the parts of the grip together.
The type of handle grip above described maybe most satisfactorily manufactured by stamping the same out of resilient sheet metal, which lends itself admirably to my novel means for securing the parts 17 and 18 together, as the blank from which the part 17 is made may be very easily cut to form the desired number of lugs 21 which may then be bent inwardly at substantially an angle to the lateral marginal portions 19. The construction of the parts 17 and 18 is such that the marginal portions 20 of the part 18 are snugly engaged between the marginal portions 19 of the part 17 and, due to the resiliency of the sheet metal of which the parts are constructed, the lugs 21 spring into the slots 22 when the parts are assembled about the core 14: and are retained in locking engagement by the resiliency of the metal which resists a force tending to disengage the lugs from the slots. When the parts 17 and 18 are assembled about the core 14, the overlapping part 17 should be positioned to the front of the gripping part of the handle, so that the line of juncture will not appear to the eye of the user of the handle, and since the slots 22 formed in the member 18 will be practically entirely closed by the lugs 21 when inserted therein, the cooperating means 21 and 22 for securing the parts of the gripping handle together will not be noticeable except under careful inspection.
In the device illustrated, I have shown three lugs formed upon each marginal portion 19 of the member 17 and three corresponding slots formed upon the marginal portions 20 of the member 18. It will be apparent, however, that the number of cooperating lugs and slots may be increased or decreased, as desired, without departing from the scope of my invention. Furthermore, I do not desire to be limited to the particular arrangement of the lugs and slots herein shown, as in some phases of my 111- vention it may be desirable to form both lugs and slots upon each of the members 17 and 1S, and in other phases of my in vention it may be desirable to construct the lugs 21 so that they project outwardly instead of inwardly, as shown.
I have not attempted to describe the modifications of the construction which may be adopted without departing from the scope of my invention as defined in the appended claims. Furthermore, it will be obvious that the parts 17 and 18 may be given any desired cross-sectional configuration other than the octagonal form herein illustrated without departing from the scope of my invention.
What I claim is:
1. A hand grip for a handle, comprising a plurality of substantially similar resilient sheet metal parts provided with portions constructed to overlap each other on longitudinal lines to form a tube, and lugs upon the opposite marginal portions of one of said parts constructed to spring into locking engagement with the other part of said tube to lock said parts in their overlapped position.
2. A hand grip for a casket handle or the like, comprising a pair of substantially similar trough-shaped sheet metal members constructed to overlap each other on longitudinal lines to form a tube, and means for firmly securing said members in their assembled position, comprising cooperating lugs and slots formed upon each pair of said overlapping parts, said lugs constructed to extend at substantially right angles from one overlapping member into the other overlap ping member.
3. A hand grip for a casket handle or the like, comprising a pair of substantially similar sheet metal grip parts constructed to overlap each other on longitudinal line; throughout the hand engaging portion of their length to form a tube, said parts provided with cooperating lugs and slots positioned to snap into locking engagement with each other when said parts are assembled to thereby retain said parts in their assembled position, said lugs constructed to e:: tend at substantially right angles to a face of the part upon which they are provided.
4. A hand grip for a handle, comprising a pair of substantially similar sheet metal grip parts constructed to overlap each other on longitudinal lines throughout the hand engaging portion of their length to form a tube, inwardly directed lugs formed upon the opposite marginal portions of one part, and cooperating slots formed in said other part and positioned to have said lugs snapped into locking engagement therewith when said parts are assembled, to thereby retain said parts in their assembled position.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand on the 26th day of June, 1918.
FRANK E. ROBERTS.
