PROVISIONAL
SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Pans, Moulds, Tins, and the like, for use in Baking
Bread, Cooking Meat, and other purposes.
I, WILLIAM THOMASON, of 21, Hopefield Street, Bolton, in the County of
Lancaster, Plumber, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows, that is to say:-
-
It relates to improvements in pans, moulds, tins and the like for use in the
baking of bread, cooking of meat and other purposes, and consists in constructing
same so that when in use the heat to which they are subjected acts upon them
more evenly throughout their entire surfaces than it does when they are formed
as heretofore, while the parts of same most liable to deterioration by such heat
may be easily replaced or repaired when necessary.
In carrying my invention into effect I construct a sheet metal covering or part
which I secure to the under outer surface of the pan, mould or tin so that an
open space is left between such part and the bottom of said pan, mould or tin
for the circulation or reception of a current or layer of air by which means this
outer covering alone is subjected to the excessive heat of the floor of the oven
or heated chamber in which it is placed, while the heat transmitted to the
surface it protects is through the heated air to which all the other surfaces are
equally subjected thus all parts of the contents of the pan or mould are treated
in about the same degree.
The covering referred to is preferably formed of a suitably corrugated shape
so that while allowing considerable space for air, its formation presents a good
resistance. to wear and against being damaged as will be understood.
This covering may be secured by rivetting or otherwise to the walls or bottom
part of the pan or mould to which it is applied

in and by the following statement, that is to say:-
It relates to improvements in pans, moulds, tins and the like, for use in the
baking of bread, cooking of meat and other purposes, and consists in constructing
same so that when in use the heat to which they are subjected acts upon them
more evenly throughout their entire surfaces than it does when they are formed
as heretofore, while the parts of same most liable to deterioration by such heat
may be easily replaced or repaired when necessary.
In order that my said invention may be readily understood, I have hereunto
appended sheets of drawings illustrative thereof, to which, by figures and letters,
reference is made in the following description.
Figs. 1 and 2 are side and end views respectively of a bread tin or pan constructed
in accordance with my invention.
Fig 3 is a view of same as seen from beneath.
Fig. 4 is a similar view to Fig 2 but illustrates an alternative method of
applying my invention to the bread tin.
Fig. 5 is a sectional elevation of certain of the parts illustrated by Fig. 4.
Figs. 6 and 7 are similar views to Fig 5 but show a further modification in
the method of application of my invention to said bread tin.
Fig 8 is a pait sectional elevation of a modified form of my invention, and
shows its application to another form of bread tin to that above referred to.
Fig 9 is a view of parts illustrated by Fig 8, and as seen from beneath.
Fig. 10 is a detail drawing, hereinafter referred to.
Similar letters and figures of reference indicate similar parts throughout the
several views
In carrying my invention into effect I construct a sheet metal covering part a
which I secure to the under outer surface 61 of the pan, mould or tin so that
an open space is left between such part a and the bottom b¹ of said pan mould
or tin b for the circulation or reception of a current or layer of air, by which
means this outer covering a alone is subjected to the excessive heat of the floor
of the oven or heated chamber m which it is placed, while the heat transmitted
to the sui face 6' which it protects is through the heated air to which all the
other surfaces are equally subjected, thus all the parts of the contents of the
pan or mould bare treated in about the same degrée.
The part is preferably formed of a suitably corrugated shape as shown by
Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 so that while allowing considerable space for air its
formation presents a good resistance to wear and against being damaged as will
be well understood, however, if desired it may be formed as shown by Figs. 8
and 9.
The covering
a may be secured to the end walls or bottom of the pan or
mould by rivets c, or by having its ends a bent around the part d which
projects from the bottom or end walls of the tin (see Figs 8 and 9) thus forming
a seam, this latter arrangement being especially applicable to tins formed of
several pieces of metal In the case of seamless tins, I preferably follow the
method of application illustrated by Figs. 6, 7 and 10, wherein projections or
protuberances e are formed in the bottom part 61 by the dies which stamp or press
the sheet metal of which the tin is to be formed into its proper shape, after
which the parts e are brought over the ends a¹ of the part a either as shown by
Fig 6 or by Fig. 7 thus retaining said part a in position as desired.
Or I may
secure said part a in position by causing its ends a to be overlapped by the
flaps as shown by Figs. 4 and 5, or I may extend these ends so that they
may pass around and thus be held by the binding wire g.
In all the drawings the ends a¹ of the part a are shown as
end walls h of the tin b, however it will readily be understood
ends a¹ may be secured in a similar manner to the side walls
being fixed to the
that if desired said
of said tin b.

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 18-
Pans, moulds, tins and the like constructed and produced in the manner and
for the purpose substantially as herein described, and as illustrated by the accom-
panying sheets of drawings.
