I Design 1V0. 2,720, dated August 6, 1867,

DESIGN FOR A FORK OR SPOON -HANDLE.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

.Be it known that I, JOSEPH SEYMOUR, of the city of Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga, and Stateof New York, have originated and designed a new Pattern for the Handles of Knives, Forks, Spoons, and other articles of tablewarc,-to be known by the name of'The Union, and of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification. In the drawings-- 4 i Figures land 3 represent the face of the pattern, as shown on the faces of a table-spoon and fork, and

Figures and 4 the reverse side of the pattern, as shown on the back's of the same articles.

In this pattern the face of the shank at the handle is bevelled off to the edge thereof, each way, from a line drawn longitudinally through its centre, the upper and'lower ends of said bevelled portion terminating in an acute angle. The bevelled portion occupies about two-thirds of said shank at its centre, as shown in figs. 1 and 3. The remainderof the face of the handle is made slightly convex in the middle, and is bordered on the edge by a flat thread with a smaller half round thread just within it. Both of these threads are wrought .into a figure upon the face of the pattern at the top of the handle and at both ends of the shanks, as shown in figs. 1 and 3. Upon the reverse side of the pattern the shank of the handle is made concave, as shown in figs, 2 and 4, thereby obtaining great strength and stiffness for it with economy of material. The remainder of this side of the handle is also made slightly convex in the middle, and the whole of it is bordered with the flat thread alone, which is wrought into a figure at the top and bottom of this side of the handle, in combination with the half round thread, which on this face of the pattern is confined to the figures, as shown in figs. 2 and 4. There is also a figure formed of these threads at the top of the shank, as shown in the same figures.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The design or pattern for the handles of spoons, knives, forks, and other articles of tableware, herein set forth and shown.
