To ALL WHoM IT'MAY ooNoDRN: y

Be it known that we, EDWARD P. WooDs and DANIEL SHEnwooD, both of Lowell, in the county of Middlesex, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improved Egg-Boiler and Stand; and wel do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact, description thereof', reference being had to the accompanying drawings, gures, and letters of reference thereon, making part of this specification. Of the said 'drawings-* Figure 1 is a view in perspective of our egg-stand and boiler as completed.

Figures 2.,' 3, and 4 show parts in detail.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts in all the drawings.

vTo enable others skilled in the art to make and. use our invention, we will describe the constructionv and. operation thereof.

We first make a wire ring, B, of the size we wish to make the stand, and'join the ends together by a tube, as seen in figs. 2 and Then, 'of the same wire, we form the parts C C, which, when united, compose the frame. These parts are soldered together at the centre, and are made with eyes c c, which form legs for the stand, and with hooks b b on the ends, which serve to connect the ring and frames together.

The spiral wire d, previous to being attached to the frame, is formed on a machine constructed as follows:

A metallic cup-shaped disk iscast of the size desired, and a hole drilled to secure it upon the mandrel, and then inished to its proper shape. This blank is then centred in a lathe, the tool-holder of which is moved by a screw, and on motion being imparted to the holder by proper gearing, a regular spiral groove 4is out on the face of the blank, commencing at the centre, and gradually increasing until the bevel portion is reached. The continuation ofthe groove on the bevel is -cut by a taper lathe and regular screw-gearing. The groove is cut slightly inclining towards the centres, and suiciently deep to prevent the wire'from springing out during the operation of forming up the spiral and fastening the frame thereto.

For afull and more complete description ot' this machine reference may be had to the specification and drawings filed by your petitioners of even date with 'this speciication.

The disk upon which the wire is formed isslotted to conform with the ribs C C of the frame, which will lie directly over said slots when in proper position. After the spiral has been formed the disk is removed from the machine, and the operator places the frame, composed of the ring B and ribs C C, on the disk over the spiral, and connects them together by means of fine wire, interlacing it in and out through the slots, until the whole is firmly secured together. -Thestand is then removed from the disk, and the handle A and egg-rings a a attached thereto. The handle of the stand, shown in the drawings, is composed of three strands of wire twisted together, doubled toform the handle-loop, andn'then twisted to form the thick part above the rings. Four of these strands are then formed into the egg-rings, and the remaining two strands' are twisted to ferm the continuation of the handle, and to secure the rings and bottom of the stand together, as will be seen in iig. 1 ofthe drawings.

We make our egg-stands'and boilers to hold from four to twelve eggs, those of the latter sizehaving two tiers of egg-rings. The stands are used to holdthc eggsuinthe water while being boiled, and also'as an ornamental stand for the table, and are useful and ornamental in a high degree.

We claim, as a new article of manufacture, an egg-stand and boiler, constructed substantially as described f th s ec'fed. and or epmposes P* l EDWARD-P. WooDs,

DANIEL SHERWOOD. Witnesses;

J. F. ROGERS, .WM. U.l AMsDEN.
