Abstract: 1738. Pointon, J. E. Jan. 22. Bakers' ovens. - In bread-making apparatus comprising a two or multi-deck draw-plate oven a and a prover c, a vertically movable platform d is arranged between the oven and the prover, on to which the plates b can be drawn from the oven into a position adjacent the discharge side of the prover for loading, The platform may be actuated by any suitable hand or power means. In the construction shown, an electric motor drives a shaft f, on which are chain pulleys, over which pass chains connected to the platform and to balance weights. The prover comprises a conveyer of the circuitouslyarranged intermittently - moving type, and is preferably fitted with removable trays k, which are taken off at the discharge end and placed on the draw - plate. The conveyer may be driven at two speeds, the slower speed allowing of each tray receiving its full complement of loaves during the period of rest. In the case of the quick-speed, the conveyer is so arranged that charging takes place at ten different but adjacent positions 1, 2, the looping of the conveyer being such that the distance travelled by a tray from one point to the other occupies the time required to load half the draw-plate at the discharge end. Thus during the first half of the quick-speed movement, during which the draw-plate is half filled, the attendant at the feeding side of the prover charges each shelf with half its complement of loaves at the first feeding position. During the second half of the same movement, the attendant completes the filling of the trays from the second feeding position. A recess 3 is provided in the prover to which access may be had for forming cottage loaves. Automatic bashers &c. for forming other types of loaves may be provided in the prover.

The core a is provided with a central air-tube d, within which is arranged a rod i. Clay is fed from a hopper, &c. p into the space c between the mould and core, and fills the space c<1> between the bottom of the core and a bottom plate q, driving the air through holes o in the bottom plate. After the space c' has been filled, the rod i is raised to admit air through a slot d' in the tube d, and the core a is then raised. The bottom plate q is then turned or slidden away, and the bottom of the article is trimmed and polished. More clay is then forced into the space c until the sides have been formed of the required depth, whereupon the article is severed by a knife or wire passed across the bottom of the mould. The article is then removed and the plate q returned, after the holes o have first been cleaned by pins carried by a plate. A number of cores and moulds are grouped together and are operated simultaneously, a plate r, provided with adjustable holes, being arranged over the moulds to equalize the pressure of the clay. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the mould b is bolted to the bottom of a core l fitted with a hollow feed-screw e. The core a is slidably mounted within a recess e<1> at the bottom of the screw, being guided by a ring a<2> and retained by a flange a<1>. The core is carried by a hollow rod d d fitted with a valve-rod i, as before. With this modification, moulds and cores of different sizes may be employed. A number of machines may be connected together. The apparatus may be reversed so that the articles are discharged at the top. According to the Provisional specification, jars with necks may be formed by using a core having two diameters. The jar is made as before for a certain length and the larger core is withdrawn, leaving the smaller core to form the neck. After the removal of the bottom plate, a circular rubber ring or spring is substituted for the plate so that the jar can pass through it. When the body of the jar has been formed, pressure is applied to the ring to contract the opening and form the neck.
