DESIGN FOR A SPOON.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 23,194, dated April 17, 1894.

Application filed March 8.1894. Serial No. 502,916. Term of patent 14 years.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HARRY iI. CABOT, of Bristol, in the county of Bristol and State of Rhode Island, have invented and produced a new and original Design forl'landlesofSpoons and Similar Articles, of which the following is.

a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part thereof.

Figure 1 is a representation of a handle attached to the bowl of a spoon and illustratng my new design,the tine portion of a fork ceing dotted in position. Fig. 2 represents a cross-sectional view of the design taken on a line ab, Fig. 1.

The leading features of my design appertain particularly to the upper portion of the handle consisting in the general outlines thereof a small base generally conical in shape located at the upper portion of the handle, an inverted conical section above the base and supporting a body larger than the conical section atthe plane of juncture therewith, gradually contracting in diameter and then extending outward in bulbous panels which, contracting in diameter at the top, merge into an ornamented collar on which rests an ornate neck having an extended pitcher top,-trom one of the side panels extends a scrolled handle which touches the neck and joins the corresponding side of the pitcher top.

In the drawings 5 represents the lower portion of the handle and 6 the bowl ofaspoon, it may, however, represent the main portion of any similar article, one of which is indicated in dotted lines. In vertical outline the ornamented portion of the handle joins the main portion thereof by the truncated conical base 7 supporting the shortinverted conical pillar 8, mounted on this pillar is a body having a base-portion 9 of considerable greater diameter than the pillar 8, the outline of this ase gradually contracts and then expands .4 its upward extension until it assumes the shape of the bowl 10, the outline now contracts to form the upper portion of the bowl on which is supported the neck 11 the outline of which gradually contracts and then expands to the beading 12 above which it expands to form the outline of the pitcher top 13 the upper edge of which is finished with a wave-like line 14. From the upper portion of the bowl 10, at one side, extends the scrolled-stem 15 forming part of the handle; this ornament joins the vertical ornamented shaft 16 from the lower portion of which the scroll l7 curves inward to the neck and then outward to slightly above the central portion of this shaft, and from this portion the scroll 18 curves outward and upward, then curving inward joins the corresponding side of the pitcher top.

The general cross-sectional shape of the base 7 and of the design above the base is circular, this outline of the body 10 being somewhat flattened to approach more nearly an oval form, the body 10 at its central horizontal plane is composed of four convex bulbous panels 19, 20, 2t and 22 which, at their upper and lower portions, merge into the general contours of the base 9 and in those of the ornamented collar 24.

The surface ornamentation consists in the short vertical headings on the base 7, the fioriations surrounding the lower portion of the base 9, the ornament 23 and the handle 19, the ornamented collar 24 surrounding the upper portion of the body 10 with the foliated bands extending around the neck 11.

What I claim is- The design for handles of spoons and similar articles as herein shown and described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

HARRY II. CABO'l.
