DESIGN FOR SPOONS.

Specification forming part of Design No. 10,504, dated February 26, 1878 application filed February 7, 1878.

[Term of patent 7 years] To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY L. WALLACE, of Wallingford, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement in Design for Spoon; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in-

Figure 1, face view; Fig. 2, rear View; Fig. 3, transverse section on line a: x.

This invention relates to a design for the handle of spoons, forks, and like articles; and it consists in the configuration and ornamentation of the handle, as hereinafter described, and shown in accompanying illustration.

The tip of the handle is substantially semicircular, thence gradually contracting t0 the bowl or fork, as the case may be. Around the edge of the handle, and parallel therewith, two or more beads run to the bowl.

On the face of the handle is a plain raised panel, terminating atthe tip in lancet shape, andjnclosed by beads corresponding to the beads on the edge of the handle, and running into them near the narrower part of the handie, the panel continuing to the bowl, but

leaving a space between the said lanoet shape and the edge of the handle, which may be filled with any ornamentation or finish. The lancetshaped panel a. is raised on the front and recessed on the back, giving to both surfaces of the handle the same peculiar configuration, or combination of the lancet-panel with the semicircular tip. The front surface may alone have the lancet-shaped panel, with the rear surface plain.

I cl aim- 1. The herein-described design for spoon or fork handle, consisting of the semicircular tip, gradually contracting to the bowl, combined with the lancet-shaped raised panel on the face, the edge of the handle and the edge of the panel bordered by two or more beads, running together at the narrower part of the handle and continuing to the bowl, as shown in accompanying illustration.

2. The herein-described design for spoon or fork handle, consisting of the semicircular tip, combined with the lancet-shaped sunken panel on the rear surface, as shown in accompanying illustration.

HENRY L. WALLACE.
