PASTRY BOARD. No. 469,595. Patented Feb. 23, 1892.

UNITED STATEs PATENT OFFICE.

GEORGE B. POOLER, OF SHERIDAN, ILLINOIS.

PASTRY- BOARD.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 469,595, dated February 23, 1892,

Application filed September 7, 1891- Serial No. 405,029- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE E. POOLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sheridan, in the county of La Salle and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pastry-Boards, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to bread, cracker, and lozenge making, and particularly to th class of pastry-boards.

The object of the invention is to provide a bread or pastry board with a perfectly-smooth non-adhesive metallic face, edges, and sides, so that the pastry can be handled thereon without sticking or adhering to said face.

The invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of the parts, as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved board. Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the plane indicated by the dotted line 02 ac, Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a detached plan view of the metallic portion, stamped out and ready to be placed in position on the board.

The same letters of reference denote the same parts throughout the figures.

The body of the board is constructed of two layers of wood A and B, secured together in any suitable manner so that the grain of one layer will run lengthwise and the otherlayer crosswise of the board. The face 0 is stamped out of smooth sheet metal, such as tin, sheetiron, 850., but preferably of tin, having its four corners slit so as to form the side and end flanges D and E, respectively. At each of the four corners is formed in the same piece with the side flanges the overlapping ears F,

which overlap the corners of the wooden porseries of small apertures G, through which 4:;

the tacks or small screws H are passed, so as to firmly secure the metal face to the wood. By forming the ears in one and the same piece with the end flanges the expense of the board is very much lessened and a much more durable corner is produced, there being but one end of-the ear to be secured.

I am aware that metal facings for pastry boards, having end and side flanges and separate ears, have been used. To such I lay no claim.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

In a pastry-board, the combination of the wooden piecesA and B, secured together, with the grain of one piece running crosswise the grain of the other piece, with the metallic face C,fiangesD and E, and the ears F, formed in one and the same piece with the side flanges,

substantially as shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

In witness whereof Ihereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.

GEORGE B. POOLER.
