in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-

page_text: the false bottom D is made the same shape as the inside fluted hoop or simply a
plain round, but a little smaller to give clearance, and rests on a strip or band
attached to the outside ring as shown.
Fig. 5 is a sectional elevation and Fig. 6. is a plan of a plain cake hoop as at
present in use, which can be altered into a fluted cake hoop by fastening a fluted
hoop of the same shape on the inside; in a similar manner as previously described,
in the same way any existing plain cake hoop can be altered into a fluted cake
hoop.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is,
~.
An internal fluted cake hoop, the flutes of which may be parallel or taper
and of any suitable shape or design, substantially as hereinbefore set forth and
