IMPROVED GASKET-HANDLE.

The `Schedule refei're'd tp in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

T o all whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, DENNIS LEONARD, of Winsted, county of Litchfield, and State of Connecticut, have invented certain'new and useful Improvements in the Construction and Manufacture of Gasket-Handles; and to enable others skilled inthe art to make and use the same, 1 will proceed-to describe its construction, referring to the drawings, in which tliesame letters indicate like parts iu each of the figures.

lhe nature of this invention consists in securing the handle between the swinging arms, by means of a pin upon the end ornaments, which pin vpasses into the end of the haudleproper, and is secured by a setscrew, passing through the circular part of the swinging lever, and through 4the handle, until it reaches the dowel-pin.

In the accompanying drawingsl Figure 1 is a side view of this invention, partly in section, so as to show its construction.

'a are the two-part fastening-plates, 'having sockets a', into which the hinge or fulcrum-pinsc" enter, from each side of and near the ends of the shanks b. Said plates are secured to the casket, by screws c;

b are the handle-Shanks, having orifices d, into which the handle e is fitted Hush with the outside of the Shanks b. l

f are metal tips, having a fastening-pin, g, which is fitted closely into the orifice h in the end of the han-v dle e, the whole'secured together by pins or screws i.

I have endeavoredv to show the nature, advantage, and construction, so as to enable others skilied in the` art to make the same therefrom.

I do not claim the'double plates a a, as they are not 0f my invention.

I claim, securing the handle between the swinging arms, by means cfa piu upon the end ornaments, which pin passes into the end ofthe handle proper, and is secured by a set-screw, passing through the circular part of the swinging lever, and through the handle, until it reaches the dowel-pin, substantially as set forth.
