IMPROVEMENT IN BAIL FOR KETTLES.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM HILES, of Albany, in thc county of Albany, and State of New York, have invented an Improved Bail for. Kettles and other vessels; and I do hereby declare that the following iso, full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a, part of this specification, in which- 'i Figure 1 shows the improved bail applied' to a tea-kettle.

Figure 2 is an enlarged sectional view of the improved bail.

Figure 3 is an end view-oi` one ofthe metal sections ofthe bail.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the three figures. i

This invention relates, to an improvement on the construction of combined wood and metal hails, which are especially designed for vessels requiring to be handled Awhile heated, where it is not desired to use cloths or other separate holders. The invention is, however, applicable to buckets and other vessels which do not require to be heated. It consists in constructing a bail of three sections, two of which are of metal, and-form the attaching-hooks and standards, and the other is of wood or other poor conductor of heat, and forms the handle or that portion which is grasped `in thehand; said sections being put together by means of a square` rod, which is passed through the centre of the handle, and riveted to cup-shaped enlargements on the hooked sections, which receive theends ot' said handle, aswill be hereinafter described. l

To enable others skilled in the art to understand my invention, I will describe its construction and operation.v`

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the handle of my improved bail, having applied to its ends metallic hooked sections BB. The handle may be made ot' any suitable substance which is a poor conductor of heat, and for this purpose almost'l any hardwood will answer. It may be turned with swells upon it, as shown, in order that it may be firmly and comfortably grasped in the hand. The curved sections B B are both constructed alike, and form the hooked standards, by which the handle is attached to the ears of a vessel, so

.as to swing freely. On one end' of each section Bran enlargement, b, is formed; having a circhlar seat or depression formed in it, for receiving the reduced end of the handle A, as shown in fig. 2. Through the centre of the circular enlargement b of each section B a square hole is made, which is countersunk on theoutside.

The sectionsll are suitably curved, and terminated at their lower ends in hooks a, by which they are attached.

t'o the ears of a. bucket, kettle, 'or other vessel, and these sections are rigidly secured to the ends of the handle A by means of a square rod,.-C-, passed through said handle and riveted at its ends. This mode of securing the metal sections to their handle prevents the latter fromA turning or working loose, forms a rigid and durable fastening, and'presents a neat and finished appearance.

I am awa-re that wood has been used for the handle for irons and other articles, therefore Ido not claim such. material per se for this purpose; but

What I do claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

Constructing the metal sections B B with sockets formed within the enlargements b b of said'sectious, such sockets having the ends of a wooden handle tilted into them, and such handle being held in said sockets by a.

p rod, c, which passes through the handle and through the enlargements b b, and is fastened to the latter, all substantially in the mannershown and described.

WILLIAM HAILES.
