NORMAN S. BOARDMAN, OF EAST HADDAM, CONNECTICUT.
SPOON AND FORK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 239,139, dated March 22, 1881.
Application filed December 22,1880. (Model) To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, NORMAN S. BOARDMAN,
of East Haddam, Middlesex county, Connecti I out, have invented a new and useful Improve ment in Spoons, Forks, and Analogous Articles, of which the following is a specification.
Figure 1 is a plan view of my improvement shown as applied to a spoon; and Fig. 2 is a side view, partlyin section,thr0ugh line 00 .70, Fig. 1.
. Similar letters of reference indicate correspondi ng parts.
The invention consists in combining withthe bowl or tines of a spoon or fork a brass wire and glass tip, as hereinafter described.
I will describe the invention as applied to a spoon, but do not limit myself to that use, as it can be applied with equal advantage to other articles of flat table-ware.
A represents the bowl, B the shank, and C the tip, of a spoon. The bowl A is desi ned to be made of.nickel-silver, called also German silver, or other suitable whitemetal, and is formed in the ordinary manner. The shank B is made of brass wire, or other suitable wire, and its end is secured to the bowl A by rivetin g, soldering, or other suitable means. Upon the other end of the wire shank B is cast, or to it is otherwise secured, the tip 0, which is madeofBritanniametalorothersuitable metal, or of glass, and may be formed in any desired ornamental shape. The spoon is then designed to be silver-plated in the ordinary manner.
With this construction the parts most exposed to wear will remain bright after the plating has been worn through, so that the article will retain a presentable appearance.
By this construction the labor of making the articles, the amount of metal required, and the quantity of scrap formed will be greatly reduced, and the expense of grading-rolls for shaping the blanks, cutting-dies for forming the articles, and stamping-dies for shaping and ornamenting the articles will be avoided, so that the expense of manufacture will be greatly reduced.
I am aware that in plated ware a bowl has been connected with a wooden tip by a wire,
which is doubled and twisted to form a screw, that forms its own thread in the wooden tip, so as to hold it; but the tip is not plated, and cannot be cast on the end of the shank, as is done by me.
What I claim as new is- The combination, with the bowl, of a single smooth wire soldered to said bowl at one end, and provided at the other with a tip cast thereon, as described.
NORMAN S. BOARDMAN.
