An Improved Bacon and Ham Sus
ser.
I, JOHN WYNN, of Andrew's Hall Chambers, 32 St. Mary Street, Cardiff, in the
County of Glamorgan, South Wales, Auctioneer, House, Land and Estate Agent, 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 relates to a device by means of which bacon, hams and the like
may be conveniently suspended for sale or storage purposes. The said device.
comprises a suitable cross piece or bar to which a wire is secured in such a manner
that the said cross piece cannot turn relatively to the wire. The wire is preferably
doubled and twisted and at its upper end is provided with, or formed into a loop;
the cross piece is provided with a
with a space for the reception of any desired
advertisement.
In order to illustrate the construction and application of my invention I have
represented the same in the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 being a side view of the device, and
Figure 2 a similar view on a sinaller scale and showing a side of bacon suspended
thereby.
A is a cross piece preferably of hard wood and of cylindrical form pierced with
radial holes through which the ends of a wire B may be passed, the said ends after
passing through the holes being bent and caused to re-enter the cross piece so as
to be firmly secured thereto. The wire, B is tinned or galvanized, and is twisted
from its fastening in the cross piece A upward to near its extremity where a loop C
is formed by means of which the device and the meat attached to it may be hung
upon a hook in the manner illustrated by Figure 2.
The device may be attached to the bacon or the like by passing the looped end
through a hole made in the meat as indicated in Figure 2. The same device may be
repeatedly used for suspending different pieces of meat.

page_text: The cross piece A may be used for advertising purposes, for instance it may bear
the name of the bacon or ham curer on its side.
The bacon or ham suspended by the above described device will not turn or twist
when being touched or examined.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
An improved bacon and ham suspender and advertiser consisting of a doubled and
twisted wire formed with a loop at one end and secured at its other end to a suitable
cross piece such as A so that it will not turn therein substantially as described.
