PASTRY-BOARD.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 616,366, dated December 20, 1898.

Application filed November 19, 1897. Serial No. 659,129. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that we, WILLIAM L. STANLEY and PRESSLY O. PATTERSON, of Cambridge, in the county of Guernseyand State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pastry-Boards, of which the followingis a full,clear, and exact description.

This invention is a pastry-board designed to be placed upon the kitchen or pantrytable and to have dough kneaded thereon; and the invention is principally characterized by several layers of sheet metal forming the body of the board and producing a durable and efficient structure.

This spccication is the disclosure of one form of our invention, while the claims define the actual scope of the invention.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the gures.

Figure 1 is a plan View of the invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of the same, and Fig. 3 is a cross-section.

The pastry-board has a top or main sheet a, of metal,the forward end of which is formed into a tubulation or roll b and provided at said roll with a bail c, by which the board may be hung when not in use. The rear or distant end of the sheet a is curved upward to form a concaved wall d, terminating in a tube or roll e similar to the tube or roll b. Laid snugly against the lower surface of the sheet a is a layer of stout paper f, and beneath this paper f is a corrugated metal sheet g, both sheets f and g being held rigidly and firmly to the sheet ci by flanges h, formed integral with the sheet Ct and turned downward and inward to clamp the edges of the sheets This paper serves as a backing for the top sheet d and to prevent said sheet from becoming indented between the corrugations of the sheet g when pressure is applied to the sheet a in the use of the pastry-board. The sheet gbyits corrugations serves to strengthen and render rigid the pastry-board, and at the same time this sheet, bearing on the table or other support, prevents the board from slipping loosely about. The three sheets a, f, and g are bent up slightly to form a ridge i at a point near the wall d, so that a rollingpin may be held between the wall d and the ridge t'. The roll or tube b serves to bear against the edge of the table and holds the pastry-board firmly during the pushing movement of the person using the board, while the corrugations on the sheet g prevent the forward sliding of the board upon the return movement of such person.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire tol secure by Letters Patentl. A pastry-board formed of sheet material having at one end a downwardly-extending roll or tube, and having at the other end a wall raised upward and also having adjacent to said wall a ridge running in approximate parallelism therewith.

2. A pastry-board having a metallic top or main sheet, a fabric laid beneath said top or main sheet, and a corrugated metallic sheet laid beneath the fabric, the three sheets being secured rigidly together by means of anges formed on the top sheet and bent downward and inward to embrace the edges of the corrugated sheets.
