CASSEROLE FRAME.

Application filed February 23, 1921. Serial No. 447,148.

To aZZ 10 how. it may concern Be it known that 1, JOHN J. OMARA, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Casserole Frame, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to a new and improved frame for casseroles, and has for an object the construction of a frame such that the time, labor and expense involved in the manufacture of casserole frames is very substantially reduced.

Another object resides in the provision of a frame and handle portions for casseroles so constructed that the assembling of the parts is such as to permit and facilitate the polishing of the main frame thoroughly before the handle portion is attached, whereby the polishing process is made much more simple.

A further object resides in the provision of a handle portion and a frame portion so related and co-operating as to permit of the quick and ready assembly of a minimum number of parts each of which can be separately formed complete prior to the final assembly of all the parts in their ultimate co-operative relation.

A still further object resides in the particular construction and arrangement of parts which are hereinafter described and claimed and shown in the accompanying.

drawings.

The invention is shown in the drawings, of which Figure 1 is a vertical transverse section taken through the casserole frame on a line passing through the middle of the handle portion;

Figure 2 is a section taken on the line 2-2 of Figure 1; and

Figure 3 is a section taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 1.

The preferred embodiment of my invention, as shown in the drawings, comprises a casserole frame in the form of a band 10. It is understood that the material from which this band or frame is formed can be of any suitable design. It is preferable, however, to roll the upper and lower edges of the band or strip as shown at 11, the rolls containing reenforcing or staying wires 12 so as to form heads at the top and bottom provided adjacent the ends of'the connect-- ing parts, as shown at 14.

A handle portion, such as 15,, having an integrally formed foot 16, is adapted to be associated with the frame 10 and connected thereto adjacent the seam or connecting line 13 above mentioned. Projecting lugs 17, preferably of some soft metal, extending from the inner faces of the handle and foot portions, are adapted to project through the openings or apertures 14; in the adjacent ends of the band 10 and arefiattened over on the inner side of the band to rivet the handle and foot portions to the band or frame.

However, prior to the application of the handle and foot portions to the frame, a sheet-metal plate 18 is placed against the inner face of the frame over the abutting edges and is provided with apertures registering with theapertulies 1a in the frame. The edges of these apertures in the plate 18 are turned over, as represented by'the numeral 19 in Figure 2, to bind the plate 18 to the frame 10 and hold the adjacent contacting ends of the frame together. By thus providing a plate on the inner face of the frame to hold the ends of the band together, the outside of this band can be polished very readily, since it is firmly and tightly held together without any projecting portions on the outer periphery thereof which is to be polished. After this polishing action has taken place, a similarly-shaped plate 20 is placed over the seam 13 on the outer face of the band or frame 10. This plate may be of any suitable shape, preferably that shown in Figure 3, and the surface of this plate is coated or prepared in a manner similar to that in which the outer surface of the frame and the surfaces of the handle and foot portions are prepared. For instance, this plate 20 may be nickel The- - hold the plate 20 temporarily in place until the handle and foot portions have been applied, and also to hide the bare end of the seam 13. The plate 20 is provided with apertures designed to register with the'apertures 14 in the adjacent ends of the frame 10. WVhe'n the plate 20 ,is in place, the

handle and foot portions are placed against this plate, with the lug portions 17 projecting through the apertures in the plate 20, the frame 10 and the plate 18, after, which the ends of these lug portions are riveted or flattened over on the inside to tightly hold the handle and foot portions and the plate 20 to the frame.

It will be readily observed from a consideration of the above description that the handle and foot portions, the plates 20, the plates 18 and the frame 10, can all be completely and separately made and prepared prior to their ultimate assembly. The first step involves the formation of the frame and the connection of its adjacent free ends by means of the plate 18, after which the frame can very readily and simply be polished. The plate 20 can bestamped out and finished and plated complete as can thehandle and foot portions. This capacity of separate manufacture and completion before assembly facilitates the manufacture of the frame and its co-operating parts and also reduces the time, lab or and expense in volved therein.

What I claim is:

1. A casserole frame comprising a split metallic band havin a plurality'of apertures adjacent its ends, a metallic plate disposed over the adjacent ends of the band on the inside of the same and providedpassing through the apertures of the said band and plates and having their ends flate tened on the inner plate. I

' 2. A casserole frame construction comprising a split metallic band having free ends which are placed adjacent each other and which have a plurality of apertures in their adjacent surfaces, a metallic plate placed over the seams in the ad acent end portlons on the outside of the frame and which has apertures registering with the apertures in the frame, a handle portion adapted to be connected to the frame, and projecting lugsv on said handle portion, said lugs projecting through the apertures in the plate and frame and riveted on their inner ends to fasten the handle portion, tion and the frame together. a

3. In a casserole frame, a split metallic band having a plurality ofapertures adjacent its ends, anda metallic plate arranged over the adjacent ends of the band on the inner face thereof and having apertures registering with the apertures of the band, the edges of the apertures of the said plate being bent into the apertures of the band to temporarily hold the ends of the band together to permit the outer surface of the band to be polished before the completion of their "adjacent surfaces, a metallic [plate covering the seam and the adjacent ends and disposed on the outside surface of the frame, said plate having apertures register ing, when the plate is in position, with the apertures in the frame, a handle portion'connected to the frame, pro ecting lugs on said handle portlon, said lugs pro ectlngthrough the apertures in the plate and frame and riveted on their inner ends to fasten the handle portion, the plate portion and the frame together, and a curved, integral finger portion extending from one edge of the plate over the adjacent edge of the frame to hold the plate to the frame.

5. A casserole frame, comprising a split metallioband having apertures adjacent its the plate por ends, metallic apertured plates over the adjacent endsof the hand, one on the inside and the other on the outside,the edges of the apertures of the inner plate being bent into the apertures of the band to temporarily fasten said plate to the band, and a handle provided with lugs extending through the apertures of the plates and band and flattened on the said inner late.
