PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Combined Bakers' Peel and Bread Marker.
I, ROBERT SAMOTH of 5 Clifton Road South Norwood London, Engineer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
This invention relates to a combined bakers peel and bread marker, which will
mark the bread in any desired manner at the same time as the bread is being placed
in the oven.
Instead of using an ordinary peel with a fixed handle I employ a shallow box of
suitable form, through one end of which the handle passes, being provided with
two collars or a groove which prevent it being pulled out but allow it to turn
freely.
The top of this box is provided with the words or devices cut through it in the
manner of stencil plates, and corresponding devices on a plate inside the box
project through these holes. This plate is provided with two pins at each side.
which project into inclined slots in a plate extending around the two sides and the
back, where it is formed with a screwed socket through which the end of the handle
passes.
The arrangement is such that when the handle is given, say half a turn, the
plate with the device is raised, causing the device to project a little distance above
the top of the, box. The dough after being shaped, is then placed on top and the
peel pushed into the oven. When the desired position has been reached, the
handle is turned in the reverse direction, withdrawing the device and allowing
the bread to slide off, marked in the desired manner. The words or device in the
marker must of course be formed in the reverse direction to that which is desired
to appear on the loaf.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Combined Bakers' Peel and Bread Marker.
I, ROBERT SAMOTH, of 5 Clifton Road, South Norwood, London, Engineer, 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 a combined bakers peel and bread marker, which will
mark the bread in any desired manner at the same time as or before the bread is
being placed in the oven.
My invention will be clearly understood by reference to the annexed drawings,
in which
Figures 1 and 2 are side sections showing the marking device in the raised and
lowered positions respectively.
Figure a plan view, and Figure 4 a plan with top plate removed.
Figure 5 detached view of carrier frame.
Figures 6 and 7 part sectional and sectional views showing modified
arrangements.
I employ a shallow box A of suitable form, through one end of which the
handle B passes, being provided with two collars C, C, or a groove, which prevent
it being pulled out but allow it to turn freely. The top A' of this box is provided
Prine 8d1

page_text: with the words or devices cut through it in the manner of stencil plates or prickers
to form letters or devices, and corresponding devices D, D, on a plate E inside the
box project through these holes. This plate E is provided with two pins or
lugs F, F, at each side which work in inclined slots G, G, in a frame H, which is
provided at the back with a screw socket I, through which the end of the handle B
passes, the latter having a corresponding screw J engaging within it. The
arrangement is such that when the handle B is given, say, half a turn, the frame H
is drawn backwards, causing the pins F, F, to rise in the slots G, G, and so raise
the plate E, causing the letters or device D, D, to project a little distance above
the top of the box A.
The combined bakers peel and bread marker is operated as follows:-The dough,.
after being shaped, is placed on top of the box and projecting device, and the peel
pushed into the oven. When the desired position has been reached, the handle is
turned in the reverse direction to that previously given, the frame moves forward,
and the plate with letters, or device fall in the slots, allowing the bread to slide off,
marked in the desired manner.
The words or device in the marker must of course be formed reverse to that
which is desired to appear on the loaf.
The handle B may be attached directly to the carrier frame H, the screw and
screw socket being in this case dispensed with, so that by pulling out the handle, or
pushing it in, the frame is operated to and fro, and the plate with the letters, or
device raised, or lowered, as before mentioned.
According to another arrangement (shown in Figure 6) the handle proper B is
fixed to the box, and hollow for receiving a rod K connected to the carrier frame H,
the rod having a sliding ferrule or knob L riding in a slot M of the handle to
enable the carrier frame to be worked to and fro to attain the same result.
Figure 7 represents a modified arrangement, consisting of the shallow box A, the
movable perforated top A', the letters or device D, D, on a plate E inside the box.
In this case, the dough when placed on the top perforated plate A¹, is pressed
down until the fixed letters or device project through the plate and mark the
dough to the desired depth, the perforated top plate A' being returned to its
former position level with the tops of the letters by springs N, leaving a smooth
surface for the dough to be slid off the peel.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The improved combined bakers peel and bread marker herein described and
substantially as shown with reference to Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 of the annexed
drawings.
2. The modified arrangement described with reference to Figure 7 of the annexed
drawings.
3. The construction of bakers peel and bread marker, consisting essentially of a
shallow box, a perforated top plate, movable or fixed letters or device which may
be caused to project through said perforated top plate when desired for the purpose
specified, as set forth, and substantially as shown in the annexed drawings.
