An Adjustable Pudding-basin Stand.
1, DANIEL MONDAY, of 44, Mervan Road, Effra Road, Brixton London,.
Commercial Traveller, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of this invention is to keep the pudding-basin in an upright position so.
that the pudding shall not become soddened by contact with the boiling water.
I construct a hoop of tin or other suitable material rather larger than the bottom.
of the pudding-basin to be held. I connect the opposite sides of the hoop by wires.
which form a support for the basin.
I attach 3 or 4 standards of tin to the hoop so that they project upwards, and can
be bent inwards or outwards to suit the size of the basin. These standards have a.
small spring tongue behind which prevents their falling forward. I connect their
summits by means of a small chain, drawing them close to the basin. In this way it
is impossible for the basin to be turned over on to its side by the action of the boiling.
water.
The chain allows of adjustment to suit different sizes of basins
I, DANIEL MONDAY, of 44 Mervan Road, Effra Road, Brixton, London,.
Commercial Traveller, 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:-
The object of this invention is to keep the pudding-basin in an upright position
in the cooking vessel so that the pudding shall not become soddened by contact
with the boiling water but shall be cooked by steam.
I construct a hoop or frame of tin or other suitable material rather larger than the
bottom of the pudding-basin to be held. I connect the opposite sides of the hoop.
by wires which strengthen the frame and may form a support for the basin.
These wires are turned downwards so as to form feet and when of large size keep
the hoop off the bottom of the vessel. I attach 3 or 4 standards of iron wire to
the hoop so that they project upwards and can be bent inwards or outwards to
suit the size of the basin. The basin does not always rest on the wires but may
be held up by the chains and standards. These standards have a small spring
tongue behind which prevents their falling forward. I connect their summits by
means of a small chain, which can be drawn close to the basin, bringing the standards
with it. In this way it is impossible for the basin to be turned over on to its side
by the action of the boiling water.

I will now describe the invention with reference to the accompanying drawing,
in which:

standards. d, à, d are the springs. e, e, e, are plates in which the springs work.
fis the adjustable chain.
The pudding-basin being placed on the wires b, b the chain is tightened up around
the basin so as to raise it to the required height, or in the case of large sized basins to
hold them firmly upon the wires.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :
1. A device for supporting pudding-basins in boiling water, consisting of, the hoop
or frame a, the cross wires b, b, the standards, springs, and plates, c, d, and e, and the
adjustable chain f; as herein described and set forth.
