Improvements in Griddles.
I, AUGUSTA JACOBY, of Langhorne, in the County of Bucks and State of Pennsyl-
vania, United States of America, Gentlewoman, do hereby declare the nature of my
invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN GRIDDLES, and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention pertains to certain new and useful improvements in griddles, having
for its object the production of a cheap, simple, and highly-efficient device of this class
for gas or gasoline stoves.
The invention comprises a rigid section and a movable or pivoted section designed
to fit in a frame of said rigid section and to close down over a pan formed by the
other half thereof, the connection between said rigid and movable sections being
effected by a continuous wire passed through coincident lugs and having handles
connected to its ends, substantially as hereinafter fully set forth, and particularly
pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings,
Fig. 1 is a plan view of my improved griddle.
Fig. 2 is a similar view with the movable section removed.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of said latter section.
Fig. 4 is a central longitudinal view of the entirety.
Referring to the drawings, A designates the rigid section, which consists of a circular
chambered ring or pan a and a skeleton ring or frame a'. The pan a and frame a¹ are
connected to or formed with a central head or connecting-neck a², from the upper
surface of which project two parallel apertured lugs a³.
B is a movable section, consisting of a chambered ring or pan having a short
plate, from which extend two parallel apertured lugs a. The apertures of the
lugs a³ at are designed to coincide, and through them is passed a stiff wire C, which
effects the hinging connection between the parts. This wire is secured to the
under side of section 13 by rivets 61, and its ends are passed through apertures
of section B, and rounded handles 1) located on opposite sides of said section.
The wire is secured by rivets 12 62, adjacent each handle, so as to hold the latter
in place.
The pan or movable section B is preferably divided into four separate chambers or
compartments d, separated by intersecting flanges d', having fluted surfaces.
In practice the pan or section B is placed within the ring or frame a¹, and after
the batter placed in its compartment is sufficiently cooked on one side said section
s turned on its hinges and its contents are transferred to pan a, with pan B bearing
hereon. In this manner the batter is thoroughly cooked on both sides, and
he transferring of the cakes from one pan to the other is readily and easily
ccomplished.

page_text: 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 1
claim is:
1. A griddle for gas or gasoline stoves, consisting of a stationary ring or circular
pan, apertured lugs, and the movable section or pan having lugs coincident with said
former lugs, and the wire passed through the apertures of said lugs, and the handle
secured by said wire, substantially as set forth.
2. A griddle for gas or gasoline stoves, consisting of a rigid section having a
chambered ring or pan, a ring or skeleton frame, a connecting-neck having apertured
lugs, a movable section or chambered pan having apertured lugs, the wire passed
through the coincident apertures of said lugs, and the handles held by said wire,
substantially as set forth.
