PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said George Mander at the Office
of the Commissioners of Patents on the 10th February 1879.
GEORGE MANDER, of Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Accountant.
NEW OR IMPROVED DISH OR PAN FOR CULINARY PURPOSES."
"A
The object of this Invention, which relates to an improvement in the manufacture
of dishes, or pans, or receptacles in which fruit or meat pies, or tarts, or confec-
tionaries, or other edibles are baked or otherwise cooked or treated in culinary or
domestic use, is to prevent the liquor, syrup, juice, or gravy from boiling out and
over the edge during the baking or cooking of the pie, tart, or other preparation,
as it constantly does in such dishes or pans as at present made, rendering the
dish or pan sticky, uncleanly, and not fit for handling or for use at or on the
table.
This object I attain by turning in or forming at the lip or mouth of the dish or
pan the whole way around its inner periphery an inner and downwardly projecting
flange or bend, which may be produced by stamping, pressing, or otherwise, so as
to form a continuous bend or sealing groove, up which the juice rises when the pie
or other preparation is being baked or otherwise cooked, and being thus prevented
from getting under the edge of the "crust" or "paste," it cannot get out as hitherto,
by which it would be wasted, and would render the dish or pan unclean and unfit
for handling and use at table, and thus these disadvantages are overcome.
The above described improved dishes can be made in pottery, metal, or any other
substance or material suitable for the purpose.

the said George Mander in the Great Seal Patent Office on the 9th August
1879.
GEORGE MANDER, of Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Accountant. "A
NEW OR IMPROVED DISH OR PAN FOR CULINARY PURPOSES."
The object of my Invention is to provide an improved manufacture of dish, or
pan, or other receptacle for liquids, in which the contents are prevented oozing out,
flowing or splashing over the edge or edges thereof in transit or when otherwise
oscillated, as is frequently the case when ordinary cans, pails, dishes, kegs, tubs, and
similar articles are used to hold or convey milk, oil, spirits, &c., from place to place
either by hand or in carts, railway carriages, &c. It is specially adapted for
culinary or domestic use to prevent the liquor, juice, syrup, or gravy boiling out
and over the edge during the heating, baking, and cooking of the pie, tart, or other
preparation, as it constantly does in such dishes or pans as at present made and
commonly used in all households, rendering the dish or pan sticky, not fit to handle
or use upon a dinner table. To obtain this object I turn in the lip or mouth a" of
the dish or pan for the whole circumference of its inner periphery or otherwise
form an inner and downwardly projecting flange or bend "b," which may be formed
by stamping, pressing, moulding, or otherwise so as to form a continuous bend or
sealing groove "c," up which the liquid rises during the process of cooking or when
the vessel is moved about or its liquid contents agitated, notably in the case of milk
and spirituous liquors, preventing waste and uncleanness.
The Invention is illustrated on the accompanying Sheet of Drawings making
part of this Specification, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a dish or pan
constructed according to my Invention; and Figure 2 is a vertical section through
the centre of a dish or pan of the same construction.
The above described vessels can be made in metal or alloys of metal or any other
substance or material, of varied shapes, sizes, and configuration suitable for the
purposes, either with a lip formed in the body of the article, or a movable flange or
lip may be substituted therefor to facilitate cleaning.,
Having now described the nature and object of my said Invention, I would
remark in conclusion that what I claim as my Invention is substantially the
application of a lip or flange permanent or movable to dishes, pans, and other
receptacles after the manner and for the purposes herein specified and illustrated.
In witness whereof, I, the said George Mander, have hereunto set my hand
and seal, this Seventh day of August, in the year of our Lord One thousand
eight hundred and seventy nine.
Witness,
JOHN KENDRICK.
GEORGE MANDER.. (L.S.)
