Improvements in and relating to Dog Biscuits.
I, ISAAC HARTLEY, of 25, Halford Street, Leicester, Corn Merchant, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
―
This invention consists of improvements in and relating to dog biscuits, whereby
they are rendered more suitable for consumption and also more convenient for
handling by the retailer.
To carry out the invention I arrange that the tins or moulds in which the
biscuits are made, may be provided with ribs or other suitable projections, cross-
ing, one another and thus forming a similar series of divisions or recesses in the
biscuit substance so that the latter may be readily broken up by the application
of the hands without the necessity of using greater force.
A mould or tin of rectangular shape would form biscuits of a convenient shape
especially for packing.

I, ISAAC HARTLEY, of 25, Halford Street, Leicester, Corn Merchant, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following state-
ment;
This invention consists of improvements in and relating to dog biscuits, whereby
they are rendered more suitable for consumption and also more convenient for
packing and handling by the retailer.
The invention will be more clearly understood by reference to the drawing
accompanying this specification in which Fig. 1 shows a plan of one side of a dog
biscuit, Figure 2 a cross section through the said biscuit also showing a section
of the tins or moulds in which the biscuit is baked and Fig. 3 a plan of the side
the reverse of Fig. 1.
As will be readily understood the tins or moulds A. A' are provided with a
series of ribs or other projections B stamped or otherwise suitably formed thereon,
and are also provided with a flange C all round.
The tin or mould A which causes a series of depressions D such as shown in
Figure 1 in the top face of the biscuit, and the tin or mould A¹ which will cause

page_text: a series of depressions D¹ such as shown in the biscuit in Figure 3 would be placed
face to face with the biscuit between as shown in Figure 2 for the baking process.
The ribs B formed on the tins or moulds A A¹ have sufficient projection, so that
the divisions or recesses D) D¹ are deep enough'in the substance of the biscuit for
the latter to be readily broken up by hand without the necessity of using greater
force or other means. By using tins or moulds of a different arrangement of ribs B
the biscuit will have a tendency to divide through its substance when being
broken up.
The biscuit may be of any desired composition and baked in the usual way, in
the tins or moulds.
It will be readily understood that I do not confine myself to the patterns of
the moulds shown in the Figures 1 and 3 of the drawing, as these may be altered
to any other convenient shape.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is;—
-
1. The manufacture of dog biscuits having depressions formed therein in the
manner and for the purpose substantially as specified and illustrated in the draw-
ing.
2. The combination of tins or moulds in the manner and for the purpose herein-
before specified.
