PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Appliance for Handling or Removing Oven Hotplates or Shelves.
ADOLF TENISON, B.A. Cantab Medical Student and FRANCES SARAH
TENISON, Lady, of 215 Uxbridge Road Shepherd's Bush London West do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists in an appliance for drawing out, lifting and removing
oven hot-plates from ovens in ordinary household use with any joints, pastry,
cakes, etc., which may be thereon.
The remover consists of a light iron frame work C C C C (see accompanying
drawings). The handles E E which are rivetted to sides of framework at HH,
incline slightly outwards, to afford greater power in lifting, by allowing the
forearm to rest thereon.
They are kept in position by rod G at points D D.
The metal handles are cased in wood the wood being shown in section in
Figs. 1, 2.
An upright projection A in centre of distal end catches the oven plate at back
and serves to draw the plate forward.
Two guards B, B, placed at proximal end, at first upright and then parallel with
sides of frame, serve the following purposes :-
I. Resting on upper surface of oven plate they prevent the appliance from
falling.
II. When the plate is lifted the handles being depressed they prevent the plate
from slipping on to holders hands.
In Fig. 2 an oven plate is shown in outline F F F F resting on frame C C C C.

Appliance for Handling or Removing Oven Hotplates or Shelves.
ADOLF TENISON B.A., Cantab, Medical Student, FRANCES SARAH TENISON,
Lady, 215 Uxbridge Road Shepherd's Bush London West do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
.
This invention consists of an appliance for removing and lifting hot oven plates
and shelves from oven with any joints cakes pastry etc. which may be thereon.
The following is a description of the apparatus reference being made to the
accompanying drawings in all the figures of which the same reference letter
indicates like parts.
As shewn in drawing left with Provisional Specification
Fig. 1 is a side elevation Fig. 2 is a plan and Fig. 3 is an end elevation.
On Sheet 1 Fig. 4 is a side elevation Fig. 5 is a plan and Fig. 6 is a section of
a collar on an enlarged scale of a similar apparatus for carrying into effect
modifications of our invention.
The apparatus consists of a light iron frame work C C C C.
The handles E E which are riveted at HH to the sides of frame C C C C
incline slightly outwards to afford greater power in lifting by allowing the forearm

page_text: They are kept in position by a rod G at points D D (Figs. 1, 2, 3). The metal
handles are cased in wood the wood being shewn in section in Figs. 1, 2.
In the centre of distal end of frame CCCC at point A is an upright pro-
jection which catches the oven-plate or shelf at the back thus serving to draw
aforesaid oven-plate or shelf forward when pulled.
Two guards B B fixed on proximal end of frame CC CC are at first upright
& then horizontal being bent forwards parallel to sides of frame CCCC. These
guards B B serve the following purposes :-
(1.) Resting on upper surface of oven plate or shelf they prevent the apparatus
from falling.
(2.) When the oven plate or shelf is lifted the handles of the apparatus being
depressed they prevent the oven plate or shelf from slipping on to holders hands.
The operation of the apparatus is as follows:-
Introduce the appliance into oven beneath the plate or shelf keeping the
guards B B above and resting on plate or shelf. Depress the handles then the
upright A will project above and beyond the oven plate or shelf which can then
be drawn forward and removed with contents thereon thus preventing any burning
of fingers and doing away with the use of cloths.
Our invention may be modified by employing in place of the apparatus herein
before described the following apparatus illustrated by Figs. 4, 5, 6.
The framework CCCC is formed of one continuous piece of metal tubing
shaped as shewn in Fig. 5. The collar as shewn in Figs. 4, 5, 6 is that part of
apparatus in which the frame CCCC slides thus allowing apparatus to be
immediately adjusted to any sized oven plate or shelf.
As shewn in Figs. 4, 5 the object of rod G which is knuckle jointed on to collar F
at points D D is to keep the two sides of frame CCCC parallel and being fixed
to collars F F moves with them during the operation of adjusting the apparatus
to fit any sized oven plate or shelf.
The wooden handles E E are shewn encasing the metal frame C C C C in
Figs. 4, 5.
The dotted lines C₁₁C'C' shewn in Fig. 5 illustrate the telescopic action of
the apparatus.
Fig. 6 is a drawing on an enlarged scale shewing frame C C C C working in
metal collar F which collar is shewn in section.
The upright A and the two guards B B as shewn in Figs. 4, 5 are to be firmly
fixed on frame CCCC and to rod G respectively either by shrinking or riveting.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is
1. A new and original appliance for removing lifting partially withdrawing
from and returning to the oven oven hot plates or shelves with the contents
thereon.
2. An apparatus that can be adjusted to any sized oven plate or shelf.
