RUVIDIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Method of and Apparatus for Toasting or
Cooking Bread or other Esculents, at or over a Fire or other
Approved Heating Medium, by Means of a Fork with a Reversible
End to Hold them in Position.
I, GEORGE ALEXANDER SAVILE, Engineer, The Royd Duchy Road Harrogate
in the County of Yorkshire do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention has for its object the providing of easier means of attaching
bread or other esculents for the purpose of cooking, to a fork of special construc-
tion and the reversing of the said bread etc., without subsequent handling, after
once being attached, by means of the mechanical arrangement of the fork as shown
on annexed drawings.
For this purpose a light metal fork is used, handle A, terminating, with a
rectangular loop the sides of which B, B, are formed at their bases into two small
slots X, X.
Through the slots X, X, the detachable fork C, is passed, having two
prongs D, D, one at either end, connected by a cross piece E, and so formed that
the esculents Z, suspended upon the prongs D, D, will hang exactly vertical, as
shown in Fig. 1, 2, 3, 4.
This reversible fork C, will be capable of radial movement around the centres
at either end, and free to travel along the slots X, X, by these means the handle
may be so turned about, as to bring the article to be cooked, into any of the
required positions, as shown on Fig. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
The dotted line H, on Fig. 3, and 7, shows the path, which the prongs D, D,
would follow, when the fork is turned into the different positions.
Dated this 28th day of November 1893.

manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
This invention has for its object the providing of easier means of attaching
bread or other esculents for the purpose of cooking to a fork of special construc-
tion, and the reversing of the said bread, or other esculents without subsequent
handling, after once being attached, by means of the mechanical arrangement of
the fork, as shown on the drawing.
For this purpose a light metal fork is used handle A, terminating with a
rectangular loop, the sides of which B, B, are formed at their bases into two
small slots X, X, through the slots X, X, the detachable fork C, is passed, having

page_text: the two prongs D, D, one at either end connected by a cross piece E, and so
formed that the esculents Z, suspended upon the prongs will hang exactly vertical
as shown on Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4.
This reversible fork C, will he capable of radial movement around the centres
at either end, and free to travel along the slots X, X.
By these means the handles may be so turned about, as to bring the article to
be cooked, into any of the required positions as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8..
The dotted line H, on Figs. 3, and 7, shows the path which the prongs D, D,
will follow, when the fork is turned into the different positions. The drawings
here described are those left with the Provisional Specification.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is-
(1st.) The exclusive use of side-grooves, or slots, substantially as described, to
allow of traversing and revolving movement of fork C, or other holding and
securing devices, as applied to toasting, cooking, or other instruments of the like
nature.
(2nd.) The exclusive use of fork C, or other holding and securing devices, of the
exact shape and contour, substantially as described and shown by the drawings, or
of any other approximate or modified shape or contour, designed to answer the
same or similar purposes, or to compass the same or similar results.
Dated this 15th day of August 1894.
