Complete Specification Left, 21st Sept., 1898-Accepted, 19th Nov., 1898
MARGARET FURBER, 74, Manchester Road, Oldham, in the County of Lancaster,
Housekeeper, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
This invention relates to pans which are used for cooking or any such purpose.
Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are sectional elevations.
Figures 8 and 9 are plans.
It consists of a dish or pan a Fig. 1 made of any suitable metal or material,
to the handle 6 of which is fastened an underplate or rod c, either flat or of any
convenient section, and made of any suitable metal or material which passing
underneath the dish or pan a receives a pivot d on which the dish or pan is free
to revolve or nove round. The pivot d may be formed from the material of the
dish or pan itself or may be attached or fastened to it in any convenient way. A
pivot d Fig. 2, may be formed from the material of the underplate or rod c or
may be attached or fastened to it in any convenient way, the dish or pan a in
this case being made to receive the pivot d and still be free to revolve or move
round.
Fig. 3, shows the underplate or rode attached to the dish or pan a by a rivet ø
being put through the centre of the dish or pan, and also through the underplate
or rod c in such a way that the dish or pan is free to revolve or move round. A
bolt, screw or stud may be used instead of rivet e. A lip is made to hang over
the side of dish or pan to act as a guide during its circular movement, or it may
be without lip. The underplate or rod c may be part of the handle 6 or it may
be attached or fastened to it in any convenient way.

Fig. 4, shows an arrangement where the dish or pan a has a circular groove
or grooves g formed in it, the underplate a being made in such a way that it
fits into the circular groove or grooves, and in this way acts also as a guide-plate,
guiding the dish or pan in its circular movement.
Fig. 5, shows the groove or grooves g in the underplate c and the dish or pan
made with circular projections which fit into the groove or grooves g. The under-
side of the dish or pan may be entirely covered by the underplate which then
becomes a guard protecting the dish or pan from excessive heat.
Fig. 8, is a plan of Figs. 4 and 5.
Fig. 6, shows a guide plate or holder h with handle b attached or fastened and
which is passed round or partially round the dish or pan a, the dish or pan being
made to fit within or upon the guide plate or holder in such a manner that it
is prevented from leaving the guide plate or holder, but is free to revolve or
move round. A peg or pegs, or a rivet or rivets are put through the dish or pan
to prevent it from leaving the guideplate or holder h.
Fig. 7, shows the dish or pan made with a circular rim underneath the guide-
plate or holder h, which keeps it in its position.
Fig. 9 shows an arrangement where the underplate e laps over the dish or pan
in three places and thus keeps it in its position.

page_text: By the foregoing descriptions it will be seen that although the handle may be
held stationary the dish or pan is free to revolve or move round when touched
by or at the will of the attendant.
Other changes may be made in the form and construction of my revolvable
dish or pan without departing from the spirit of my invention, and I therefore
reserve the right to make all such alterations therein as fairly come within the
scope of this invention.

Amprovements in Fans,
MARGARET FURBER, of 25, Rutland Street, formerly of 74, Manchester Road,
Oldham, Housekeeper, 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 this invention is to make a dish or pan which can be made to
revolve or move round in a circular direction while the handle remains stationary.
Referring to the drawings left with my Provisional Specification
Fig. 1, is a sectional elevation of the dish or pan a showing the handle b
attached to an underplate c. A pivot d is formed out of the underside of the
pan which fits into a hole in the underplate c, the pivot being a
centre about which the pan revolves while the handle and underplate remain
stationary.
'
Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation showing the pivot d formed out of the under-
plate the dish or pan being made with a depression in the centre which receives
the pivot d.
Fig. 3, is a sectional elevation showing a rivet e passing through the centre
of the dish or pan a and also through the underplate c in such a manner that
the dish or pan is free to revolve. f is a lip which may be used but is not
necessary, to assist in guiding the dish or pan during its circular movement and
supporting it when being lifted by the handle. The handle 6 may be fastened
to the underplate c or the handle and underplate may be made of one piece of
metal with provision for a pivot, rivet, bolt, stud or screw acting as a centre about
which the dish or pan may revolve.
Fig. 4, is a sectional elevation showing the dish or pan with one or more circular
grooves or corrugations 9 which receive corresponding grooves or corrugations
in the handle or plate which passes underneath, and in this manner acts as a
guide during the circular movement of the dish or pan.
Fig. 5 is a sectional elevation showing the dish or pan with the grooves or cor-
rugations reversed.
Fig. 6 is a sectional elevation showing the handle 6 attached to a ring h which
passes round the dish or pan. The handle is prevented from falling down by
projections on the side.
Fig. 7 is a sectional elevation similar to Fig. 6 but with the dish or pan formed
in such a way as to receive the ring which passes round.
Fig. 8 is a plan of Figs. 4 and 5.
Fig. 9 is a plan showing the handle or plate passing underneath and over the
side of dish or pan in such a manner as to allow a revolving or circular move-
ment with or without a central pivot, rivet, bolt, stud or screw.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
A dish or pan which can be made to revolve or move round in a circular direc-
tion while the handle or plate which carries or holds it, remains stationary, sub-
stantially as described in and illustrated by the drawings left with the Provisional
Specification.
