IMPROVEMENT IN POKER.

The Schedule referred to iti these ALetters Patent and making part of the name.v

Q O i To all whom it lma/y conce/rn Be it known that I, J AMESF. BREWER, ofPlantsville, in the county of Hartford, and State of Connecticut, ha ve inventeda new Improvement in Pokers; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken inconnection with the accompanying drawings, andthe'letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings consti` tute part of this specification, and represent, in

Figure l, a side view.

Figures 2 and 3, sectional views, showing my improvement.

This invention relates to an improvement in 'the construction of pokers or cover-lifters, such as are used on common stoves or ranges, and consists in the pcculiar manner of attaching and securing the handle thereto; and in order to the betterunderstanding of my invention, as well as to enable others to construct the saine, I will proceed to a description, in accordance with the accompanying drawings.

A rod, of Wrought metal, A, as seen in iig. 2, is placed'in a mould, previously prepared,v wherein, at one point, at vthe properdistance from one end of the rod, a cavity is formed, corresponding to the shape desired for a metallic neck, B.

Into this mould is poured cast-metal, which flows into the cavity around the rod, and, shrinking, adheres firmly thereto, as seen in iig. 3.

Upon the upper side of the neck, I form, in the casting, a projecting pin or point, a, as seen in iig. 3.

Removed from the mould, one -end of the rod is hrmed as for a poker, as seen in fig. 1, or for 'a lifter, as the case may be.

Over the other end is placeda wood handle, c, bored through, so as to pass on to the rod, and driven on the pin a, so that the handle sets hard down upon the neck B, as seen in figs. 1 and 3.

Then, the end ofthe rod, projecting' through the handle, is riveted down, as seen in figs. l and 3, so as to prevent the removal ofthe handle.

r:[hus the handle is sustained by the rod, which forms the instrument, extending the handle, and therefore can, by' no probability, become loosened thereon.

I have described 'the collar as cast upon the rod, and this I believe to be the better way, but it may be cast` separate from and shrunken on to the rod.

I do not wish to be.understood as broadlyclaiming the casting of a Yneck or socket upon an instrument to receive the handle, as such is common and well known; but having thus fully described my invention,`

. What I claim as new and useful.v and desire to' secure by Letterslatent; is-

As an improved article of manufacture, the hereindescribed poker,'consisting of the wrought-metal rod A, having the neck B cast thereon, and the said rod extending through the said neck, so as to receive and support the handle, all in the manner described.
