DESIGN FOR A BALANCE-WEIGHT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 26,357, dated December 1, 1896.

Application filed October 22, 1896. fierial To all whom it 12mg concern.-

lle it known that i, LYDIA J. BRUWN, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented and produced a new and original Design for Balance- \Veights; and do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appcrtains to make'and use the same.

My invention relates to a novel design for a balance-weight adapted to be applied to the edges of various kitchen and cooking utensils to counterbalance the weight of their handles when the latter project from one side only of said utensils, and thereby lessen the liability of overturning the same by accidentally touching said projecting handle.

Figure l is a side view of a balance-weight embodying the design. Fig. 2 is an edge view thereof.

The leading feature of the design consists in a balance-weight having at its upper end a ring, from which depend two diverging members which merge into said ring at their upper end and are separated from each other No. 609,766- Term of patent 31 years.

bya recess having converging side walls, said recess ext-ending from the lower nearly to the upper end of said members.

The letter A designates the circular ring at the upper end of the weight, 13 and C the two divergingmembers depending from said ring, and D the recess separating said members from each other. The width of the members it C is slightly less than the outerdianicter of ring A, as shown in Fig. 1, and their thickness is considerably greater than the thickness of said ring, as shown in Fig. i. The thickness of the members B C gradually increases from their upper to their lower end, and their lower end is rounded transve-rsehv, as shown.

Having thus fully described my design, what I claim is- The design for a balance-weight substantially as shown and described.

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