PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Appliance for Manipulating Oven Shelves.
We, ARTHUR STURDY FRYER, of 8, Bayswater Mount, Commercial Traveller,
and CHARLES PERCY WATSON, of Headingley, Clerk, both of Leeds, in the County
of York, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows
-
The object of our invention is to construct an appliance whereby oven shelves
may be readily manipulated and moved in a hot state, without the necessity of
employing cloths or other articles for defending the hands from burns
According to our invention, we employ a frame composed of a cross piece
and two or more prongs having chiseled ends, and at the back of the cross piece
and on the side of sune opposite to the chisel ended prongs, we provide two
handles which may if requied be covered with wood or other non-conducting
material. One or more lips are formed on the cross piece on the same side as
that of the prongs, in such a manner that on the appliance being applied to a
shelf with the prongs on the under side, the said lip on lips rest over the front
edge of the said shelf The shelf is thus supported by the prongs and retained
by the lips, so that the handles may be glasped and the shelf may then be
moved or changed as desired, without regard to the heat of the oven.
