Improvements.in or relating to the Ornamentation of Bread Platters
and the like.
I, SAMUEL THOMAS EVINSON, of 81, Arundel Street, Sheffield, in the County of
York, Silversmith, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-.
7
The object of my improvements in ornamenting bread platters and the like is to
dispense with the usual stamping or carving.
I take for instance an ordinary plain wood bread platter and on the same pre-
ferably around its edge, I affix by screwing clawing or other suitable means orna-
mental lettering, figuring designs or mottoes either of metal or any other substance.
They can be placed on the platter or inlaid and fastened or screwed on and fastened;
there may be a stamped ornamental rim or part of a rim or any kind of wreath or
floral design; the stems or leaves of the same may have one or more screws made
on the same and can be suitably fastened by a nut or nuts; designs in wood may
be used.
I may also use an ornamental figuring of any suitable kind for the centre of
the platter either as an ornament or for use for holding the bread thereon. Thus
it will be understood that when the aforesaid platter or its ornamental work requires
cleaning it can be easily done by unfastening the designs from the platter.

Improvements in or relating to the Ornamentation of Bread Platters
and the like.
I, SAMUEL THOMAS EVINSON, of 81, Arundel Street, Sheffield, in the County of
York, Silversmith, 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 the ornamentation of bread platters and the like so as
to dispense with the usual stamping and carving, and so as to enable the ornamenta-
tion to be removed to be cleaned and to leave surfaces on the platter which also
are capable of being readily cleaned.

page_text: In the accompanying drawings
Figures 1 and 2 are respectively a plan and sectional elevation of an ornamental
bread platter according to this invention.
Like letters indicate like parts throughout the drawings.
In making my improved ornamental bread platter or the like I turn or shape
by any convenient means a platter A of wood or other material of any desired design
and within its edge on its face-surface in any convenient position and either inlaid
or projecting, I screw or otherwise removably fasten any kind of ornamental design
or any number of designs or mottoes such as B B C or D which are ornaments
not integral with the body of the platter. Thus it will be seen that my ornamenta-
tion is entirely separate or independent of the platter itself, being easily removed.
for cleaning purposes without damaging the platter.
These designs may be grouped, in wreaths, flowers, foliage, ornamental figuring,
mottoes, or may be of any other design, and in addition to being ornamental may
serve for preventing the bread from slipping about on the platter.
The screws before referred to may be in one with the ornaments or separate and
independent.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
1. In a bread platter or the like an ornament or design of any material affixed.
thereto by screwing, or fastening in any manner which will permit of its easy
removal substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described.
2. In a bread, platter or the like a removable ornament adapted to prevent the
bread or the like from slipping about on the platter..
