Handle for Tools, 8:13.
No. 240,269. Patented April 19,1831.
UNITED STATES PATENT ()EFICE.
EDWARD F. PRESCOTT, QF MALDEN, MASSACHUSETTS.
HANDLE FOR TOOLS, 800.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 240,269, dated April 19, 1881. Application filed December 18, 1880. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD F. PRESCOTT, of Malden, in the county of Middlesex and Commonweath of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Handles for Tools, 850., of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in explaining its nature, and in which- Figure 1 is a plan of a handle for tools; and Fig. 2 is an elevation of a handle for pails.
This invention has for its object a handle for gage-cocks, tools, pails, or for any other article or use; and it consistsof paper or any other pulp, with or without a filling composition, formed under pressure to the desired shape.
Handles have commonly been made of wood, metal, or composition, like diatite.
Thedisadvantage of a metal handle is that it is too heavy and costly; of a wooden handle, that it is too liable to crack, split, or splinter, and oftentimes not strong enough; of the composition handle, that it breaks and cracks very easily and is expensive.
The advantages of a handle made of compressed pulp are, first, lightness; second, strength, owing to the homogeneous texture of the'pulp; and, third, cheapness of manufacture.
I am aware that pulp has been molded into boxes and into barrels and pails and other hollow shapes, for the purpose of providinga vessel that shall hold a liquid without leaking; but I am not aware that pulp has been molded under pressure to form a solid handle, such as herein described, and I consider that the application of pulp for this purpose is very different from its application to the manufacture of boxes, barrels, pails, or any other hollow articles.
To'manufacture the handle, pulp of proper consistency is prepared and fed to a mold having the shape of the desired handle, and is therein solidly compressed.
Of course, a handle of any desired configuration can be made by changing the molds.
The handle thus shaped maybe finished in any desirable way. It. may have a sizing or filling applied to its outer surface, and may then be japanned, or it may be painted or treated in any suitable manner to obtain afinish. Another way of finishing the handle is to color the paper with some suitable pigment or dye, and I mention as a desirable dye any of the aniline dyes, in which case the pulp is colored by the dye either mixed with the pulp or applied as a solution, as desired, and then compressed, as above stated. If necessary, the handle may then be smoothed by being ground on an emery-wheel, or in any other suitable way, and then coated with varnish.
Of course I do not confine myself to the kind of dye used for coloring the pulp, neither do I confine myself to the specific finish given the handle herein set forth, but may use any desirable dye or finish.
In lieu of dyeing orcoloring the pulp before it is compressed, I desire to state that the handle, after compression, may be soaked or dipped in a dissolved dye or color, and the necessary tint or tone thereby given to its surface.
Having thus fully described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States- 1. As a newarticle of manufacture, a tool or other handle consisting of paper or other pulp molded into shape under pressure, substantially as and for the purposes described.
2. As a new article of manufacture, a tool or other handle made of paper or other like pulp dyed or colored and molded under pressure, substantially as and for the purposes described.
3. As a new article of manufacture, a tool or other handle made of paper or other like pulp molded under pressure, and surface-finished with japan or other suitable composition or material, substantially as and for the purposes described.
EDWARD F. PRESCOTT.
