I, ALEXANDRE POUEY, of 114, Rue Bergère, Marseilles, France, Inventor, 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 the present invention is an oven for baking or cooking biscuits
and other pastries, in a rational and continuous manner.
The annexed drawings represent one way of carrying out the invention, given
by way of example:
Fig. 1, is an elevation of the oven;
Fig. 2, is an end view;
Fig. 3, is a longitudinal vertical section on A-B, Fig. 4; and
Fig. 4, is a transverse section on CD, Fig. 3.
The oven consists essentially of a baking chamber, a, and a surrounding heating
casing, b.
The heating casing, b, is formed of two plates between which is arranged a
packing of asbestos and cork, the asbestos being in contact with the internal plate
and the cork with the external plate.
The annexed drawings represent an oven heated by gas, but the oven can be
heated in any other appropriate manner, either, for example, by burning suitable
fuel within the casing, b, itself, slightly modified if need be, or by directing into
the casing heated gases produced in a separate furnace.
Along one of the exterior faces of the casing, b, is arranged a gas conduit, e,
provided with a number of perforated branches, d, penetrating to the interior
of the casing and covered by a cast metal plate, e, adapted to receive the direct
action of the flames. Above the plate, e, is arranged the baking chamber, a, the
ends of which are supported by the ends of the casing, b. The ends of the baking
chamber, which, by preference, are formed of sheet-metal, are each pierced by an
elongated opening, f, for the passage into and out of the oven of the pastry under
treatment, which takes place, in the example represented, by means of double
endless sprocket chains, g, carrying plates, h, on which the pastry is disposed. The
chains are traversed by appropriate mechanism and pass over two pairs of chain
wheels, of which, one, p, is represented on the drawings, the plates, h, really
constituting the bed of the oven. The chain arrangement can, however, be dis-
pensed with and replaced by a fixed plate.
The top or arch of the heating casing, b, is provided with refractory fire-bricks, j,
between which are openings, k, for the passage of the heating gases to the
outlets, 7, the openings and the conduits being provided with draught dampers.
The casing, b. is further provided at its lower part, at suitable intervals, with
openings, m, fitted with sliding doors, n, for lighting the gas jets and regulating
the admission of air.

page_text: The baking chamber may further be provided, at its lower part, with a separate
partition, o, consisting of a packing of asbestos between two plates.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
(1) An oven for baking or cooking pastry, characterized by a closed baking
chamber, a, arranged within a heating casing, b, provided with means of heating
the same to a predetermined temperature and of regulating such temperature, the
casing enveloping the baking chamber which receives the pastry to be baked, as
set forth.
(2) An oven for baking or cooking pastry, characterized by a closed baking
chamber, arranged in a heating casing with separate surrounding walls, an endless
chain for the continuous taking in and out of the oven of the pastry by the end
walls of the baking chamber, a gas-heating apparatus, and suitable mechanism
for regulating the temperature and the admission of air, as set forth.
(3) An oven for cooking or baking pastry constructed and arranged substantially
as herein before described and represented on the accompanying drawings.
