SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 698,077, dated April 22, 1902.-

Application filed April 2, 1898. Serial No. 676,166. (No model.)

' and effective in use and is readily secured in side edges.

position; and to this end it consists, essentially, in the combination, construction, and

arrangement of the parts of a molding-board, as hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the'claims.

In describing this invention reference is had to the accompanying drawings, forming partof this specification, in which like letters indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a perspective of my improved molding-board, a kneader being shown in operative position thereon. Fig. 2 is an inverted plan View, partly in section, of a vportion of said molding-board.

A represents my molding-board, and B a suitable kneader.

The molding-board A preferably consists of a bottom piece a, of suitable form, size, and construction ,and an angularly-arranged back piece a, formed with a flaring base (2. The upper faceof the bottom piece a is substantially fiat and extends laterally in the same continuous plane and direction from its central portion to its outer side edges. The front face of the back piece a, extends downwardly and forwardly in a substantially concave plane toward the upper face of the bottom piece for forming the base a and is extended laterally in thesame continuous plane and direction from its central portion to its outer Said molding-board A is preferably provided at its front edge a with suitable securing means, here illustrated as movable substantially U-shaped hooks c c, having corresponding ends or branches 0, formed shorter than their opposite ends or branches 0 The ends or branches 0 engage a table or other support for the molding-board and when'not in use are movable into grooves a in the lower face of the bottom piece a. The ends or branches 0 are journaled in plates 0, secured to the front edge a of the bottom piece a, and in sockets extending inwardly from said plates and are provided with lateral shoulders 0 that normally engage the inner faces of the plates 0 and are movable throughgrooves 0 leading from the journal-. openings of said plates and extending from front to rear therethrough. Said shoulders c normally prevent endwise movement and detachment of the hooks c c and when registered with the grooves c perm-it ready removal of said hooks.

The kneader B forms no part of my present invention, and hence it is unnecessary todescribe the same herein. 7

In the use of my improved molding-board the dough is readily formed intoa roll of similar form from end to end, owing to the fact that the upper face of the bottom piece a and p the front face of the back piece a extend in substantially the same continuous planes and directions from their central portionsto their outer side edges.

The construction and operation of my mold ing-board will now be readily understood upon reference to the foregoing description and the accompanying drawings.

Having thus fully described this invention,

what I claim as'n'ew, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-.-

1. The combination with a molding-board provided with a groove in its lower face, of a substantially U-shaped hook having one end or branch journaled in the molding-board and its opposite end or branch movable into and out of the groove, substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. The combination with a molding-board provided with a groove in its lower face; of a plate secured to the edge of theboard in proximity tothe groove, and 'a substantially U- shaped hook having one end or branch journaled in the plate and its opposite end or branch movable intoand out of the groove,-

substantially as and for the purpose specified.

3. The combination with a molding-board; of aplate secured to the edge of the board and formed with a journal-opening and a groove leading from said journal-opening and ex tending through the plate from front to rear,
