Improvements in Marking Bread, Cakes, and the like.
We, WILLIAM EDWARD BEALE and WILLIAM BEALE, both of No. 370
Holloway Road in the County of London, Confectioners, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object to provide means for producing marks upon
bread, such for instance as the name and address of the manufacturer.
In carrying out our invention we employ a metal plate having upon it letters or
designs in relief corresponding to the marks to be produced upon the bread. In
practice the letters or the like are made of a good heat conducting material such
for instance as brass.
The dough to be baked is placed upon plates constructed as before described,
the weight of the dough upon the letters or the like producing the required
impression.
In making loaves or cakes in tins, plates prepared in the manner described are
fitted into the tins.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Marking Bread, Cakes, and the like.
We, WILLIAM EDWARD BEALE and WILLIAM BEALE, both of No. 370
Holloway Road, in the County of London, Confectioners, 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 :-
This invention has for its object to provide means for producing marks upon
bread, cakes and the like such for instance as the name and address of the
manufacturer.
In carrying out our invention we employ a metal plate having upon it letters or
designs in relief corresponding to the marks to be produced upon the bread. In
practice the letters or the like are made of a good heat conducting material such,
for instance, as brass, and preferably coated with tin.
To enable our invention to be fully understood we will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawing, in which :-
"
Figure 1 is a plan view of a device constructed according to our invention and
adapted to mark the works "Beale's Hovis upon the bread or cakes; and
Figure 2 is a section on the line cc, Figure 1.
In these figures a indicates the plate to which the letters are secured. In practice
this plate covers less area than the letters or design, that is to say, the boundaries
of the plate are within the boundaries of the letters; also the letters are recessed
upon the underside in order that the plate may lie flush with the bottom of the
portions of the letters projecting beyond the plate as shewn in Figure 2. The
letters themselves are preferably of a V-shape in section as shewn, so as to
allow the marking device to be easily removed from the bread without breaking it
away.
In using our improved marking device we prefer to place it upon the peel and
then lay the dough thereon, the weight of the dough upon the letters or the like

page_text: producing the required impression, the device remaining in the dough as the peel is
withdrawn.
In making loaves or cakes in tins the marking devices are placed in the bottoms
of the tins or they may be suspended so that they rest against the sides of the tins.
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 improvements in marking bread, cakes and the like consisting in the
employment of metal letters or the like secured to a metal plate, substantially as
described.
2. A device for marking bread, cakes or the like consisting of metal letters or the
like attached to a foundation plate, substantially in the manner hereinbefore
described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
Dated the 23rd day of April 1892.
