Improvements relating to Pudding Moulds.
HERBERT HURLSTON KIRBY and WILLIAM BOYCE WARD Kensington Street
Birmingham Tin-plate Workers do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows :—
A pudding mould made of metal with stamped body & cover, the invention
being an improved method of securing the cover, by means of 3 pins with large
heads, which are fixed to the body & fit into 3 sliding slots in the cover.
We HERBERT HURLSTON KIRBY and WILLIAM BOYCE WARD of Kensington
Street Birmingham Tin-plate Workers do hereby declare the nature of this
nvention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
escribed and ascertained in and by the following statement, reference being had
o the drawings hereunto annexed and to the figures and letters shewn thereon :-
Figure 1. represents a view of our improved pudding mould with its cover
ttached.
Figure 2. represents a view of the mould with cover detached.
Our invention consists in an improved method of securing the cover to the pudding
mould or basin.
The mould A. and its cover B. are stamped out of metal preferably copper or
strong steel plates with re-tinned body and lid or cover, the said cover is attached
by means of three or more sliding slots therein C. which pass over a similar number
of pins or studs D situated to correspond thereto in position upon a rim or flange
integral with the body of the mould, these pins D. have largo heads over which the
circular apertures of the slots C. pass and upon turning the cover A the pins are
received in the narrow slots, the heads firmly holding the cover in place.
Sometimes we may form the rim of the mould whereon are the pins or studs at a
slightly inclined angle so that the edges of the slots in the cover when it is
turned obtain additional impingement under the heads of the said pins or studs.
We have described our improvements in connection with metallic moulds and
covers but a similar method may be employed for pudding basins of earthenware.
The advantages gained by our improvements are.
1. The cover fits easily on and cannot drop off.
2. It takes the place of the old method of a cloth tied round the top of the mould
or basin.
3. Both the body and its cover are re-tinned so that there can be no rusting.
4. Has no sharp edges to cut the fingers.
5. The puddings being flat on the dish are more easily out.
6. Water cannot get into the mould or basin when boiling and thus injure the

In pudding moulds and the like, a cover or lid in connection therewith attached
and secured by slots and pins or studs or other suitable means said studs being
situated on a rim or flange integral with the body of the mould or basin, said rim
being horizontal with the body or slightly inclined thereto all constructed
substantially as herein set forth and for the purpose described and illustrated in the
drawings.
