'SOCKET FOR DIPPERSQ SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 623,319, dated April 18, 1899.

Application filed September 20, 1898. Serial No. 691,430. (No model.)

To It whom it 77t(b Zj concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. KNAPP, a citizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sockets for Dippers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to means for attaching handles to sheet-metal vessels-such, for instance, as the bowls of dippers; and the object of the invention is to produce a simple and cheap device which can be attached to the body or bowl of sheet-metal vessels without using separate rivets or solder.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a section View of the dipperbowl and my improved socket about to be placed in position for attachment. Fig. 2 is a section of a portion of the bowl and the socket in place. Fig. 3 illustrates a section of a portion of the bowl and the socket and shows the parts attached. Fig. 4 is a side VlBW of a dipper-bowl and attached socket and a portion of the handle.

In the drawings the letter A designates the dipper-bowl, b the metal socket, and c the handle .inserted in the socket. The socket is of the usual shape, having its open end (Z for the reception of the handle 0, and, as usual, is reduced slightly in size at the closed end 6, which latter is at an inclination with respect to the walls of the socket. At its closed end c the socket has a projecting spud or rivet f of less diameter than the body of the socket and which extends at a slight inclination with respect to the walls. The closed end around the spud or rivet forms a shoulder. By reference to the drawings it will be seen that the shoulder g at the closed end has a contour per-body when the rivet f is inserted in the hole h, as shown in Figs. 2 and 4. After the spud or rivet fhas been inserted in the hole h in the side of the dipper-body, as in Fig. 2, a suitable-power-tool is brought into use to olench or flatten the spud flush or nearly flush with the surface of the inside of the bowl, as in Fig. 3, and attach the socket to the dipper. It will thus be seen that the spud, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, becomes a rivet.

The operation is simple and obvious.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. A device for attaching handles to bodies of dippers and other vessels, comprising a tubular socket having an open end to receive the end of a handle, and a closed end provided with a spud of less diameter than the body of the socket and projecting at an inclination around the spud a shoulder, all these parts being in one piece, said spud adapted to serve as a rivet for attachment to a vessel-body, substantially as described.

2. The combination of a dipper-bowl having a side hole; and a tubular socket open at one end to receive a handle and at the other end having a closed projection with a surrounding shoulder, g, all in one piece-the said closed projection fitting in the side hole in the bowl and flattened or clenched flush with the surface of the inside of the bowl, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

GEORGE W. KNAPP.
