Be it known that I, GHARLEs T. Garrison,

a citizen of'the United States, residing at" Canton, in the countyof Stark and State of Ohio, have inventeda new and useful Burning Rack, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to racks such as] are used for burning enameled ware, and.

pertains more particularly to a rackprowided with reversible pins for supporting the ware, and adaptedto be used as a drying rack to dry the ware, and to be afterward placed in the furnace to burn'the ware without the necessity of rehandling the ware.

The objects of the invention are toprovide a rack provided with a plurality of spaced openings or sockets adapted to receive double pointedpins, provided with a central shoulder, whereby either end of the pin may be located in the socket and the opposite end exposed to support the ware; to provide a rack of this character adapted to first receive the wet enameled ware for drying and to be afterward placed in the furnace without removing the ware, thus preventing unnecessary marring of the ware by removing from the drying rack to the burning rack; to provide a rack of this nature composed of two strips or bars of metal provided at spaced intervals with'registering arcuate portions and connected together between said arcuate portionsby spot welding or the like, thus providing a plurality of slightly elliptical sockets or openings to receive the pins; to provide double ended pins each having an annular shoulder midway between its ends, wherebythe pins may be reversibly used upon the rack by insertion into said sockets.

The above and other objects may be attained by constructing the rack in the manner shown in the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure l, is a perspective. vie-w of a rack embodying the invention;

and

In the manufacture of is customary to dipfthe articles in-a liquid solution ofzenamel, after which they are placed on a drying rack,from which they are later removed and placed upon a burn-1 ing rack which is put into the furnace with the ware thereon. dryware be removed from the pins upon the drying rack and re-placed upon the pins of the burning rack, frequently marring the portions of the ware engaged bythe pins ,to such an extent that they cannot be sold as first class ware. contemplates the provision-of a metal rack The present invention provided with double ended reversible pins for supporting the ware which is placed upon the pins to dry, the rack being then placed in the furnace for burning.

The preferred form of the rack illustrated in Figs. 1 to 8 inclusive is formed .of two bars or strips of steel 1 and l provided atspaced intervalswith a curved or arcuate depressions 2 and 2 respectively, arranged to register as bestshown in Fig. 3, forming a slightly elliptical socket 3.

These bars are connected together, as by spot welding or the like, at points indicated at 5, adjacent to each side of the socket thus formed. 7 i

Ordinarily these'racks may be rectangular as shown in Fig. 1, the sockets being located instaggered relation, or in any other suitable arrangement. It may be desirable,

however, to form the racks of various shapes furnace to which the-burning racks are sub-' jected', the points upon the pins of theracks rapidly burn off, making it necessary to frequently sharpen all of the pins. In order to lessen this work I prefer to use a double enameled ware it I This requires that the v pointed pin 6 detachably secured in the socket 3, and provided'with a shoulder 7 'midway ofi'ts' length, whereby the pin is reversible and may be quickly detached and reversed when the upper end is worn, thus making it possible to easily keep all of the pins of uniform length, and the points sharp.

As shown in Figz. 9, the Il ;l 11121y*b6 formed of a single bar 1*, provided With the socket 3 to receive the pin. This form of rack may be used with the reversible pins above described, although it is obvious that the construction illustrated in Figs. 1

to 8 inclusive atl'ords thebett-erineans for securely holding the pins in place Within lZl16\1(10k-,-tS-Wl111 a pin is inserted the elliptical socket 3 is slightly sp rung. open, tight ly gripping the pin, the shoulder upon the Pll'llll'llltlllg the position of the same.

The metal. rack above described is adapted to receive the.freshly-coated Ware immediately after thesanie is dipped, and the were may be left thereon to dry, after which the rack containing the areisremovedbodilyi and placed in the iturnace iorburm ing thuseobviating the necessity of removing. the Ware from the drying. rack to the burningraclz, as is customary under the present practice. a
