Plates or Frames.
We JOSEPH SMITH and HENRY SMITH of Arundel Works Norfolk Street
Sheffield in the County of York Tin Ware Manufacturers do hereby declare the
nature of the said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN MAKING TINS AND MOULDS
FOR BUNS TARTS PIES OR OTHER EDIBLE ARTICLES, AND IN SECURING THE SAME
IN METAL PLATES OR FRAMES," and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement
in writing, and on reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings, that is
to say -
This Invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in the method
or process of making Tins and Moulds in which Buns Tarts Pies or other edible
articles are baked or cooked, and in securing or fastening such tins or moulds in or
to tin or metal plates or frames, so that they shall not become or work loose,
consequently lasting longer, and being more economical than heretofore.
The Invention consists firstly in stamping pressing or drawing the tin or mould
into the required shape, then the edge of the tin or mould is pressed downwards
whilst in the press, by means of suitable tools, and by a second pair of tools the
edge is made overlapping, and also "incurved," or curved inwards.
The tin or metal plate or frame, which is made to hold a convenient number of
the tins or moulds, is pierced with the requisite number of holes of suitable size ;
the edges of the holes are drawn upwards by means of the press tools, and with
the second pair of tools the edges of the holes are curved outwards so that the
curved edges on the tins or moulds and the curved edges of the holes in the plate
or frame will fit tightly or snugly within each other.
The process of manufacture is then completed by pressing or squeezing together
the edges of the tins or moulds and of the raised edges of the holes in the plate or
frame, by means of the tools and in the press.
A special and useful advantage attained by this invention is that there is no
raw or other edge of the tin or mould to come in contact with or injure the hands
of the user, the edges being entirely covered between the tin and the plate.
These improvements are applicable to all shapes and patterns of tins or moulds.

In order however that the performing or carrying out in practice of our said
invention may be more completely understood it is illustrated on the accompanying
sheet of drawings, on which Figure 1, is a plan of a portion of a tin or metal plate
or frame as made to hold the "tins," or moulds it is pierced with a suitable number
of holes to the edges of which the "tins," or moulds are secured.-Figure 2, is a
sectional view of the edge of one of the holes (as an example) just after being
drawn or bent upwards by the press tools. Figure 2*, is an enlarged section of
the bent up edge.-Figure 3, shows the edge of a hole curved outwards for the
curved edges on the "tins or moulds to be fitted to.-Figure 3* is an enlarged
section of the edge as curved outwards.-Figure 4, shows a "tin" or mould after
being stamped or pressed into the desired shape and ready to have its edge further
manipulated. Figure 4*, is an enlarged section thereof. Figure 5 is a sectional
view of the edge of a
tin
or mould after it has been pressed downwards by the
press tools. Figure 5*, in an enlarged section thereof. Figure 6, is a sectional
view of the edge after it has been made overlapping and "incurved" or curved
inwards. Figure 6*, is an enlarged section thereof.-Figure 7, is a sectional view
of the "tin" or mould after its edge has been closed on or firmly pressed to the
plate or frame; and Figure 7*, is an enlarged section showing the edge of a "tin"
or mould, and the edge of a plate or frame before the edges have been closed or
pressed together.
"
The sections are drawn enlarged so that the edges of the tins or moulds and the
way they are fitted for securing or fastening them in or to the plate or frame may
be seen more distinctly.
It must be understood that the shapes and patterns of the tins or moulds and
the holes in the plate or frame can be varied as desired.
The principal Figures on the drawing are made to a scale of half the size of one
of a set of the plates or frames and tins or moulds. The sizes however of the
plates or frames and of the tins or moulds will vary according to the user's require-
inents, some requiring larger and some possibly smaller sizes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is-
1. The novel and advantageous method or process of making tins or moulds for
buns tarts pies or other edible articles, substantially as hereinbefore described, and,
2. The completely securing or fastening such tins or moulds into or to the tin or
metal plate or frame and so preventing their becoming or working loose, substan-
tially as herein specified and shown on the accompanying sheet of drawings.
