COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and connected with Pastry Pins or Rollers.
I, THOMAS FARRAR of Standleigh, Whitefield, Manchester, in the County of
Lancaster Inventor and Patentee 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 relates to rollers such as are employed in the preparation of dough
or paste for dietary and other purposes. The object of this invention is to form a
roller with patterns, letters, or words placed thereon, either decoratively or for
purposes of advertizing, or to form or produce designs of various patterns, or words,
on the dough or paste for the purposes either of ornament or advertizing, and to
form the dough or paste of any prearranged width and thickness, as may be
required.
I attain these objects by the means hereinafter described and as illustrated in
the accompanying sheet of drawings.
In this invention I form a roller either hollow or solid, and preferably of
porcelain or other substance having a glazed surface, and said roller may be either
fitted with a handle at each end, or used without handles, and may be constructed
either in one piece or in sections.
Fig. 1, represents a solid roller upon which any preferred design or set of words
may be formed either on said roller, or in depressed or raised characters.
Fig. 2, represents a like roller but hollow on the inside, and with solid ends;
either of these forms of rollers may have handles fitted thereto.
Fig. 3, represents a roller which may be either solid or hollow, built up in
sections a, a, a, a³, a' on a spindle d and terminating at each end with a circular
plate of somewhat larger diameter than the aforesaid sections so as to form
cutters and b¹.
The aforesaid sections are held together by the handles c being screwed more or
less on to the ends of the spindle d. In this arrangement the length and pattern of
the roller may be altered and varied, by taking therefrom, adding to, or transposing
any of the different sections. This may be effected by unscrewing and taking off
one of the handles c and altering the positions or numbers of any of the
sections, a, a', a³, a³, or a; if the roller is made shorter by withdrawing any of

page_text: the sections, the remaining sections are tightened by screwing the handles further
on to the spindle.
For the purpose of removing any portion of dough that may adhere to the roller
when rolling, a brush or scraper may be fitted between the handles as shown
in Fig. 4. The aforesaid rollers may be fluted from the centre as in Fig. 5, so that
the dough may be spread out towards the sides, when it may be cut to the size
required by the aforesaid cutters 6 and 6¹ during the operation of rolling.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said:
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
In a roller that is employed in the preparation of dough or paste for dietary and
other purposes;
1st. The use of designs of various patterns or words, or sets of words formed in
or on the surface of said roller, for the purpose and in the manner substantially as
hereinbefore described.
2nd. A roller formed in sections, by which the size of said roller, and the
characters or designs thereon may be varied, or intersected with plain portions,
substantially in the manner herein before described.
3rd. The formation of the end sections in said roller so as to serve as cutters, in
-the manner and for the purpose substantially as hereinbefore described.
