COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New and Improved Appliance for Basting Meat.
I EDWARD COLLIER of 199 Junction Rond Upper Holloway in the County of
Middlesex, Pianoforte Key Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention supplies a new method of basting automatically, meat or other
things while roasting. It consists of a cylindrical, or any other suitably formed,
vessel, herein-after, called (dripper) open at the top and with a perforated bottom
or base, the holes of which can be in any required position, or number and of any
size. The dripper can be made any required depth or circumference and of any
suitable material. It can also be supplied with a moveable cover when necessary.
A centre-rod is fixed to the base of the said dripper through its axis extending
from the inside to above the open top, and below the base of the dripper outside.
The upper end of the centre rod is bent T shape to form a catch. The lower
end of centre-rod is hooked.
A flat bar with suitable holes along its centre and with a small right angle bend
at the lower end slides on the centre rod through a hole on the right angle bend.
The T shaped catch being placed in any one of the holes in the centre of the
flat bar, suspends the dripper.
The hook on which to hang the meat is hung on the hooked end of the
centre rod.
The complete baster when in use is hung by the upper end of the flat-bar to
the roasting jack or any other apparatus and fat, or dripping when solid, is placed
in the dripper where it gradually melts and drops through the holes in the base of
the dripper over the meat and bastes it.
The dripper can be raised or lowered, filled and refilled, as wanted, without
disturbing the roast.
