DESIGN FOR A WAFFLE-IRON FRAME.

Application filed January 31, 1901. Serial No. 45,521- Term of patent 14 years.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MATTHEW GRIswoLD, .Ir., a citizen of the United States, residing at Eric, in the county of Erie and State of Pennsylvania, have invented and produced a certain new and original Design for Wattle-Iron Frames; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, forming part of this specification.

In the drawings of my design, Figure 1 is a top or plan View of a Waffle-iron frame embodying my design. Fig. 2 is a transverse section of same on the line it w in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a transverse section of same on the line y y in Fig. 1.

The leading feature of my design consists, substantially, in the shape and configuration of the waffle-iron frame in that it is provided with an upturned edge on the base thereof, forming a grease-trough around the base of the frame, and a hinge-socket having an opening in the bottom thereof, so as to drain into said trough.

In the drawings, Ais the body of an annular frame, the upper part a of which is substantially perpendicular, While the lower part B thereof curves downward and outward from the lower edge of the part a to its lowermost point Z), from which point the part 1) curves outward and upward, so as to form an annular trough C around the periphery of the base of the frame. To one side of the part b is secured a handle D, and on one side of the upper part Ct of the frame there is an upright tubular hinge-socket E, the bottom of which is semicircular. The side E of the hingesocket E next to the part a is cut away, as well as the part 61/ of the part a, so as to receive the shank of a hinge, and through the bottom of the socket E there is a small hole 6 directly above the trough C, and the edge b of the trough c at b directly below the hinge-socket E is extended outward a short distance, so as to form a pouring-lip for the trough C. At intervals around the inner surface of the part B of the frame I place legs F, (clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 3,) and in the upper partaof the frame in line with the handle D there arepin sockets a a, and on the side opposite the hinge-socket E there is a handle-socket (1 having ears a at the sides thereof.

Having thus described my design for a waffle-iron frame, what I claim is- The design for a waffle-iron frame substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
