page_text: WILLIAM KING of Watford in the County of Herts, Carpenter do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to provide an improved pastry board and roller.
The pastry board at present in use is simply a board of any required width and
length having a level surface-Now in carrying into effect my invention I make a
pastry board of any suitable size or dimensions having on each side close to the
edge parallelled to one another and fixed by any suitable means a guide or runner-
the guides or runners may be of any height suitable to the thickness of the pastry
required-The roller to be used in connection with any improved pastry board has
a slot or groove at each end in which fits the guide or runner the ends of the
Rollers project beyond the edges of the board, serve as handles and thus preserve
the hands from contact with the paste or being soiled-and the runners or guides
keeping the pastry on the board the roller can be made plain or with any suitable
devices the board is also constructed in such a way that the guides or runners
may be fitted on each side of the pastry board-the guides or runners being of
different heighths thus forming two or more thicknesses of pastry to be obtained
from the same board.

page_text: I WILLIAM KING of Watford in the County of Herts Carpenter 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:-
In carrying my invention into effect I make my improved pastry board as
follows.
The board is made of wood of any suitable and convenient length and width-
at two sides of each face of the board at equal distances from the edges and
paralleled to one another I fix runners or guides of wood or any other suitable
material, these are of any suitable height and thickness and are made easily
detachable so that others of different heights may be substituted if required, of
course the guides or runners on the same face of the board are of the same thickness
and height and for the purpose of raising the roller any required distance from the
surface of the pastry board, according to the character of the pastry required to be
rolled. The roller to be used in connection with my improved combined pastry
board and roller is preferably of even surface throughout and has a groove or slot
at each end in which the guides or runners easily fit, the ends of the roller project
beyond the edges of the board and serve as handles the hand being thus preserved
from all contact with the pastry, the roller can be made plain or with suitable
devices; although I have described a roller of even surface throughout I do not
confine myself to that particular shape for if found more convenient a convex or
concave roller can be used either plain or with devices, so long as they are made
with slots in order that they may fit on the guide or roller, the roller can be made
of any suitable material and can either be made so as to work freely on a handle
and revolve or be made in one piece it can be made of any suitable thickness.
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:
1. A pastry board with guides or runners on two sides of each face and of
different thicknesses either fixed or moveable.
2. A roller to be used in connection with my board with a slot or groove at each
end in which fits the guides or runners.
3. A roller of any desired pattern having engraved devices to be used with my
board.
