Improvements in Ovens for Roasting or Baking.
A communication to me from Mrs. MARGARETHE FRICKE, of Friedenshütte, in the
Empire of Germany.
I, EDMUND EDWARDS, of the firm of Edwards and Co., Patent Agents and
Engineers, of 35, Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, in the County of
Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
For the reception of a pan for roasting, or of a plate for baking, ovens as hereto-
fore made have been provided either with a fixed plate or a grating.
In order to bring the pan or the plate into the right position in the oven the
hand and part of the arm must be introduced into the latter, whereby not infrequently
serious injury is sustained by the hand or arm coming into contact with the hot
part of the oven. In order to prevent this by rendering it unnecessary to introduce
the hand into the oven, the moveable support which forms the subject of the
present invention has been designed.
It consists of several iron bars crossing one another at right angles and
rivetted together so as to form a horizontal platform which is supported by wheels.
turning upon prolongations of some of the cross bars. At each end of the platform
an eye is fixed into which a hook provided with a handle can be hooked, so that the
platform can be pushed into or withdrawn from the oven without the hand having
to be introduced into the latter. The wheels run upon the bottom of the oven, and
a hinged frame may be used forming when turned down a prolongation of such
bottom, upon which the moveable platform rests when it is partly or entirely with-
drawn from the oven.
The shape and proportions of the moveable platform, as well as the position and
arrangement of the wheels, may be varied more or less to suit different circum-
stances.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Ovens for Roasting or Baking.
A communication to me from Mrs. MARGARETHE FRICKE, of Friedenshutte, in the
Empire of Germany.
I, EDMUND EDWARDS, of the firm of Edwards and Co., Patent Agents and
Engineers, of 35, Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, in the County of
Middlesex, 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 and accompanying drawing, that is to say :-
For the reception of a pan for roasting or of a plate for baking, ovens as hereto-
fore made have been provided either with a fixed plate or grating.
In order to bring the pan or the plate into the right position in the oven the
hand and part of the arm must be introduced into the latter, whereby not
infrequently serious injury is sustained by the hand or arm coming into contact
with the hot part of the oven. In order to prevent this by rendering it
unnecessary to introduce the hand into the oven, the moveable support which
forms the subject of the present invention has been designed.

page_text: In the accompanying drawing wich is in illustration of the invention,
Figures 1 and 2 are sections of an oven with the pan or support inserted partly
or entirely respectively.
Figures 3, 4, and 5, shew the support in cross section, side view, and plan
respectively.
The support consists of several iron bars crossing one another at right angles
and rivetted together so as to form a horizontal platform which is supported by
wheels a turning upon prolongations of some of the cross bars. At each end of
the platform an eye is fixed into which a hook provided with a handle e can'
be hooked, so that the platform can be pushed into or withdrawn from the oven
without the hand having to be introduced into the latter. The wheels run upon
the bottom of the oven, and a hinged frame & may be used forming when
turned down (as shewn in Figure 1) a prolongation of such bottom upon which
the moveable platform rests when it is partly or entirely withdrawn from the oven.
The shape and proportions of the moveable platform, as well as the position and
arrangement of the wheels, may be varied more or less to suit the different circum-
stances in which the apparatus is to be used.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what 1
claim is :-
A moveable support, consisting of a number of bars connected together at right
angles, and supported upon wheels, and having one or more eyes into which a hand
hook can be inserted for the purpose of pushing it into, or withdrawing it from the
oven, substantially as described and shewn in the drawing.
