PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Stand or Holder for Canned Meats, Cakes, and
the like.
I, ROBERT FEAD MOSLEY, of Randal Street, Sheffield, Cutlery Manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
A stand or holder according to this invention, is intended to hold moulded meat
or other articles to be cut in slices, in such a manner as to bring up the article
being cut and at the same time form a guide for the knife.
The invention is carried out in the following manner. Upon a suitable base and
stem, is attached a plate, connected to this plate is a rim held to be revolved,
within the rim is arranged a second plate, arranged to be raised or lowered by the
action of a screw attached to the underside and passing through stem of base.
This plate forms the support for the article being cut. The plate is notched to
prevent it turning in rim, by engaging an inner vertical side projection in same,
so that turning the rim causes the plate bottom to be raised or lowered. Or the
raising and lowering can be effected by turning the screw in any suitable
manner.

the like.
I, ROBERT FEAD MOSLEY, of Randal Street, Sheffield Cutlery Manufacturer,
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 :-
A stand or holder according to this invention, is intended to hold moulded
meat or other articles to be cut in slices, in such a manner as to bring up the
article being cut and at the same time form a guide for the knife. The invention
admits of various ways of carrying it into effect, two of which are illustrated by
the accompanying drawings, with aid of which I will proceed to describe the
game.
Figure 1. A vertical section of a plan in which the article being cut up is raised
by turning upper part of holder.
Figure 2. Plan of preceding figure.
Figure 3. Vertical section in which the plate holding the article being cut is
raised by turning an outside button.
Figure 4. A similar view with slightly different construction.
Referring to Fig. 1: A illustrates a cylindrical case to hold the article to be cut
up: This case is secured at bottom on the top of a pedestal B by flanges C, D,
having a portion of the top B³, of pedestal coming between them. Fitting within
Price Sal

page_text: this case A, is a plate E, arranged to be lifted by a screw stem F; this is operated
by turning the case A, as the plate is prevented turning independent of case by
vertical guides G, engaging a slot on each side of plate.
Referring to Fig. 3. The plate E, is in this plan raised by turning the outside
button H, the stem of which is fitted on the inside of case with a mitre pinion J,
gearing with a nut K, engaging the screw stem F.
In Fig. 4. In place of screw stem F, and gearing nuts, the plate is lifted by
means of a rack L, attached to bottom of plate engaging a pinion M¹ on the stem
of the outside button M: to enable the plate to be held at any elevation a pawl N,
and ratchet wheel O, is fitted.
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
A holder for canned meats, cakes and the like, in which is a movable, plate to
support the article, which plate can be lifted or lowered at will, substantially as
described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
