A Screen for Protecting the Contents of Dripping and other Pans
and Dishes from Falling Ashes and Cinders.
I MARIE BOOTH of 11, Northampton Park Canonbury in the County of
Middlesex Gentlewoman do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention is to make screens or guards of wire or any other
suitable material to be placed on dripping pans and all other pans and dishes so as
to protect the contents of the said pans and dishes from falling ashes and cinders
when such pans or dishes are placed in front of a fire.
And in order that my said invention may be fully understood I will proceed to
explain the same with reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which-
Fig. 1 represents a roasting jack and ordinary fire or meat screen with my guard
or screen in position on a dripping pan.
Fig. 2 represents the guard or screen in position on a dripping pan supported on a
hanger iron.
Fig. 3 is end view of a guard or screen constructed according to this invention.
Fig. 4 is side view-and-
Fig. 5 plan of the same.
The same letters denote the same parts in all the figures.
a is a guard or screen made of woven wire (but the same may be made of
perforated metal or other suitable material) and provided with horizontal flanges bbb
and the flange e surrounding the sides and top at the back of the guard or screen.
Placed at a short distance from the horizontal flanges bbb and above the same is
affixed to the outside of the guard or screen in any suitable manner a projection d
formed preferably of a piece of wire the cross section of which should be some-
what larger than that of the woven wire such projection serving to divert the
course of any grease or fat in its downward direction on the outside of the guard
or screen into the interior of such guard or screen and thence into the dripping

page_text: pan or dish. The guard or screen is supported by the horizontal flanges which
rest on the edges of the pan or if the guard or screen is placed over a dish it may
rest on the lower edge c. The guard or screen effectually prevents ashes and
cinders from falling into the pan or dish while allowing the grease or fat from
the meat above to pass through the meshes or perforations.
The open back of the guard or screen shown in the drawings is to allow of the
basting spoon or ladle being introduced beneath the guard or screen without
.removing the latter from the pan or dish.
The guard or screen may be of any suitable shapes.
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 :-
1. A guard or screen for preventing ashes and cinders from falling into
dripping pans, dishes and the like constructed of woven wire or perforated metal
preferably having flanges and a projection above the horizontal flanges sub-
stantially as herein before described and for the purpose specified.
2. Guards or screens for dishes dripping pans and the like constructed as
herein before specified and shown by the accompanying drawings.
