My 'invention' kvhas for its general objects construction, combination, and arrangementV of parts by which thev saidrobjects and cer-r tain other objects, hereinafter appearing, are

effected, all as fully describedwith reference to the accompanying drawing and more particularly pointed out in the'appended claims.

In the said drawing-f Figure l is bottom plan viewfof 4a dish cover embodying` my invention v Figure 2 is a section thereof Von the line :.25 l2 2 of Figure l.

"Like characters of reference indicate like Referring to the drawing, l designates a l cup shaped annular body, preferablyvformed f3() of suitable sheet metal such as aluminum. Y The transverse wall of the body is provided with an annular` flange or 4margin portion 2 which is substantially frusto-conicaliand projects inwardly and in the direction of the other end of the body. The center portionV v of the transverse wall ofthe body, designated at 3, is offset from the .margin portion 2in the direction of the other end ofthe Y bodyfandis connected with the margin por tion 2'by means of an annular connecting porl tion 4c which is inwardly undercutY to form a i a convenient nger hold for the lifting yof the cover. f Y

The body 1 is-provided with an annular flange 5 atand surrounding the axial opening thereof and this flange projectsV radiallyV outwardly from this opening and correspondf ing with the plane thereof. A. second an-l ;nular flange 6 formedV on the flange 5 -at the l outer `edge thereof surrounds'the opening of the placing of the food on the service plates Vthe tofiy` in Spaca'ieiatia therewith and projects from theY flange 5in a direction out'- wardlyfrom'said opening.'V ,i 4 The flange 5, between the'opening ofthe body'and theflange 6, `and lthemargin 2 55 "are provided with apertures 7 'spaoedftherefv around, andY engagedfin said apertures Vare.

:While I have herein shown andparticularly' described the preferred embodimentof my invention I do' not -wishto be limitedy to Y `the precise details of construction shown as changes'may readily be made without` de#rn parting from the Vspirit'of my invention, butmloo Vhaving thus described my invention l claim flange correspondingly with said projection as new and desire to secure by Letters'Patent of said second flange.

the following In witness whereof I hereunto affix my l. In an article of the character described signature this tenth day of October, 1927.

the combination in a cup shaped body, of an annular substantially frusto-conical margin portion of the transverse wall of the body projecting inwardly and in the direction of the other end of the same, the center portion of said transverse wall being offset 'from said margin portion in the direction of the 'other end of the body, and an inwardly undercut annular connecting portion between 'sa-id margin and center portions of said transverse wall. f

.2. In an article of the character described the .combination with a cup shaped metal body, of an annular substantially,frusto-coni- `cal margin portion of the transverse wall of the body projecting inwardly and in the .direction of the other .end of the same and provided with apertures: spaced therearound, the center portion of said transverse wall being oifset from said margin portion in the direction of the :other .end of the body, an inwardly undercut :annular connecting portion between said margin .and center portions of said trans-verse wall, and circumferentially `grooved rubber bushings engaged in said apertures and projecting ,eXteriorly .of said Y margin portion.

3. In Aan article of the character described `the combination with a hollow .fmetal body provided with an opening, of a iange on the body surrounding fsaid opening and projecting outwardly therefrom -in .a direotion'corresponding with `the ,planeof said openin g,a second lange on said .first Ymentioned flange and surrounding .said :opening .in outwardly spaced relation `therewith and .projecting from said .first mentionedflange ina direc# tion outwardly from .said opening, saidvfrst mentioned -iiange `Vbeing Aprovided 'with .apertures spaced ltherlearound and disposed bctween said Vopening and said'second flange, andrubber support membersfsecured :in said apertures and projecting from :said first mentioned-flange correspondingly with :said

proj ection i of said second flange.

4. In an article iof the lcharacter described the combination with an rannular hol-low metalbodyprovided with an Jaxial opening, A

of an annular flange on the'body 'at and surrounding said opening .and projecting rai dial'ly loutwardly therefrom, al :second `annuvlar flange oni-said 'first mentioned iiange at the outer edge thereof and vprojecting-axially Atherefrom ina directionouftwardly from sai-d opening, said irst mentioned flange being Y JOI-IN B.
