DESIGN FOR A HANDLE FOR SPOONS, 80C.

To all whom it 'nmy cancer-11,.-

Be it known that I, \Vu'lmAM (I. C(JDMAN, of Providence, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented and 5 produced a new and original Design for :1

Handle for Spoons, Forks, and Similar vArticles; and I hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanyiug drawings, forming part of this specification.

Figure l is a Front View of my newly-designed handle, shown in CtJlIllOCtlOll with the bowl of a spoon in solid lines, a fork being indieated in broken lines. Fig. is a View of the reverse of the handle, shown in connection with the bowl of a spoon.

The leading features of my design consist in the marginal border of the handle, wider at the upper part of thehandle and gradually narrowing toward the lower end of the handle, where the marginal lines terminate in a scroll, the foliated leaf ornamentation at the upper part, and the beads placed between the foliations at the upper part and diminishing in diameter extend to the lower end.

In Fig. I, A indicates the central panel, which has a raised convex surface, a round upper end, and. gradually diminishes in width to a thin stem at the neck of the spoon, giving to the panel the appearance of a long Roberts drop or a pearl pendant, The marginal border B surrounds the panel A. It is wider at the upper part of the handle and 3 5 gradually diminishes in width toward the lower end. This border B is ornamented at the upper end of the handle by the scroll 3, the two ends of which nearly meet in the center and support a three-branched leaf orna- 4o inent. On each side of the upper center ornament 3 the semlls I extend in opposite directions along the margin o[ the hai'idle with the leaves 5 5 curving inward diagonally across the border I toward the panel A, the ends of the scrolls terminating in the leaves Between the leaves 5 are placed the balls or heads 7, and below the leaves the heads 7 continue along the marginal border, diminishing in diameter as the border diminishes in width, to the lowerend of the handle, and from the scroll formed at the end of the marginal border I) the foliations extend upward, inelosing the center ornament it.

On the reverse side, Fig. 2, the marginal border I is repeated, but terminated at the upper end in the scrolls 10, between which the ornament 11, consisting of a cluster of curved bars, is placed.

From the lower end of the handle a foliation 12 extends over the body of the bowl of the spoon or other article. The central panel C of. the reverse side of the handle differs essentially from the panel A on the obverse of the handle. It is merely the ilat space in closed by the marginal border B and to the eye does not convey the idea of the long drop-shaped pendant so distinctly represented by the panel A.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent The design for handles for spoons, forks and similar articles herein shown and described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
