PRUVIDIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Crust Supporters for Pie Dishes.
We, GEORGE ROBERT ADCOCK, of Framlingham, in the County of Suffolk,
Physician and Surgeon, and GEORGE CASTLEDEN, of Dennington Rectory, Fram-
lingham aforesaid, Clerk in Holy Orders, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to devices such as are used in pic dishes for supporting
the crust and permitting the escape of steam and gases from the interior of the
pie when cooking.
Our improved device comprises an inverted cup having at the upper part a
tubular portion from which a flange projects, which flange serves for supporting
the crust. Below this flange holes are formed extending into the tubular portion
which holes serve for the escape of steam or the like from the interior of the pie.
The tubular portion is preferably made of such size that a cloth may be inserted
for cleaning the said tubular portion.
With this construction it will be understood that whilst retaining all the
advantages of the well known crust supporters, in so far as allowing for the escape
of steam is concerned, we combine therewith the advantages of the ordinary cup
in so far as the collection of juice or the like is concerned."

We, GEORGE ROBERT ADCOCK, of Framlingham, in the County of Suffolk,
Physician and Surgeon, and GEORGE CASTLEDEN, of Dennington Rectory, Fram-
lingham aforesaid, Clerk in Holy Orders, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly

Our invention relates to devices such as are used in pie dishes for supporting
the crust and permitting the escape of steam and gases from the interior of the
pie when cooking.
Our improved device comprises an inverted cup having at its upper part a
tubular portion from which a flange projects, which flange serves, for supporting
the crust. Below this flange holes are formed extending into the tubular portion
which holes serve for the escape of steam or the like from the interior of the pie.

page_text: The tubular portion is preferably made of such size that a cloth may be inserted
for cleaning the said tubular portion.
To enable the invention to be fully understood we will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawing, in which:-
Figure 1 is an elevation.
Figure 2 is a plan, and
Figure 3 is a vertical section of a pie-crust supporter constructed according to
our invention.

Below
a represents an inverted cup having at the upper part a tubular portion 6 from
which a flange c projects, which flange serves for supporting the crust.
this flange holes à are formed extending into the tubular portion 6 which holes
serve for the escape of steam or the like from the interior of the pie.
The tubular portion b is preferably made of such size that a cloth may be
inserted for cleaning the said tubular portion.
With this construction it will be understood that whilst retaining all the
advantages of the well known crust supporters, in so far as allowing for the escape
of steam is concerned, we combine therewith the advantages of the ordinary cup
in so far as the collection of juice or the like is concerned.
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. In a crust supporter for pie dishes the combination of an inverted cup a,
tubular portion b, Hange c, and holes d, substantially as hereinbefore described.
2. The improved crust supporter for pie dishes hereinbefore described and illus-
trated in the accompanying drawing.
