Patented June 27, 1950 UNI-TED STATES aoAs'rmc nncnf Sue Urth Irwin, Losilfingelesalif. A Application September 15, i947,-ser am va cs My invention relates to roasting racks of the particular type covered by U. S. Letters Patent No. 2,212,207, issued to Edward O. Irwin and myself August 20, 1940, also No. 2,214,137, issued Sept. 10, 1940, and the principal objects of my invention are, to generally improve upon and simplify the structure of the aforesaid patented racks and to provide relatively simple and effective means for detachably and adjustably connecting the two parts of the rack, thereby enabling same to be packed soas to occupy minimum space while not in use, or when prepared for storage and transportation, also for conveniently receiving and holding roasts of meat, hams and poultry of different sizes, while same are being roasted.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, my invention consists in certain novel features of construction and arrangement of parts which will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a top plan view of a roasting rack constructed in accordance with my invention.
Fig. 2 is an elevational view of my improved rack.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged section taken approximately on the line 33 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a cross section taken on the line 44 of Fig. 3.
Figs. 5 and 6 are detail perspective views of portions of the detachably and adjustably connected end rails of the rack.
In structure my improved rack comprises two skeleton frames composed of wire or lightweight metal rods, both substantially rectangular in shape, with one frame slightly shorter than the other, so that when assembled for use, the end rails of the shorter frame occupy positions inwardly from and parallel with the end rails of the longer frame.
The longer frame comprises parallel side members l0 and II and parallel end members l2. Portions l3 of and members l2 occupy angular positions of approximately 45 degrees relative to the horizontal and shorter portions l4 adjacent member II, are inclined outwardly and downwardly to form short legs.
The shorter frame includes side members and I6 and end members l1. Portions l8 of end members I 1 adjacent member I 5, are inclined upwardly approximately 45 degrees relative to the horizontal and shorter portions of said members l1, adjacent side member l6, are inclined outwardly and downwardly to form short legs l9.
Secured to inclined members l3 of the wider (al.9940251, J
frame-are the-endspfspaced wire rods 20, which are parallel with each other and with side member 10 and the ends of similar spaced wire rods 2|, parallel with each other and with member [5, are secured to inclined members 18.
When the rack is set up for use, leg portions l4 and I9 diverge downwardly and inclined portions l3 and I8 diverge upwardly.
Secured on top of each member l2 near the lower ends of inclined portions I3 are the ends of a rod 22 which legs parallel with side members l0 and rods 20, and secured on top of end members ll of the shorter frame near the lower ends of inclined portions l8, are the ends of a rod 23 which, when the rack is assembled, overlie and project slightly beyond end members l2, of the longer rack.
Formed in the upper portions of end members I2 between rod 20 and legs [4, is a plurality of spaced notches 24 and in the center of each notch is a transversely disposed rib or lug 25 (see Figs. 3 and 4.
In order to provide interengagement between the ends of rod 23 and end members [2 of the longer frame, the projecting ends of said rod are provided in their under faces with short longitudinally disposed recesses 26, adapted to receive and interengage with ribs 25 (see Figs. 4 and 5).
To assemble the parts of the rack for use, the side portion of shorter frame, including side member l6 and legs l9 are inserted into the lower portion of the longer frame between side member H and fixed rod 22 and the two frames are now moved toward or away from each other so as to adjust the width of the rack to the size of the roast to be placed therein. After such adjustment has been made, the frames are releasably secured to each other by locating the extended ends of rod 23 in a pair of the notches 24 so that the ribs 25 enter the recesses 26 in rod 23 and thus provide an interengaging connection to maintain the rack in its assembled, adjusted relation.
Obviously the interengaging connection may be reversed, with the notches 24 and lugs 25 formed on the ends of rod 23 and the recesses 26 formed in rod I 2.
The two frames forming the rack are adjusted toward each other for receiving small roasts of meat or small fowl, or away from each other for the reception of larger meat roasts, hams, turkeys and the like.
Thus is will be seen that I have provided a roasting rack which is simple in structure, inexpensive to manufacture and capable of being readily adjusted for the accommodation of roasts of different sizes.
Minor changes in the size, form and construction of the various parts of my improved roasting rack may be made and substituted for those herein shown and described without departing from the spirit of the invention, the scope of which is set forth in the appended claim.
I claim as my invention:
A roasting rack comprising a pair of substantially rectangular skeleton frames, each having side and end rails, which frames are of different lengths so as to enable one frame to be positioned between the ends of the other, a rail disposed parallel with the side rails of the shorter frame and having its ends secured to and projecting slightly beyond the end rails of said shorter frame, so as to overlie the end rails of the longer ception of the projecting ends of the rail carried by the shorter frame, each notch being provided with a centrally arranged transverse rib and there being short longitudinal recesses formed in the undersides of the projecting ends of the rod carried by the shorter frame for interengagement with the notches and ribs on the end rails of the longer frame.
